Re: Should He Stay or Should He Go - Lax Coach - 8 years ago
I was rooting for Albany. Cant root for Syrcause after that 09 title game. Can't root for any of the teams in the final 4, its like a presidential election, have to pick the team dislike less. In a year this bad for Cornell sports, there is nothing left but to root against someoneby phillysportsfan - Other Sports

I think he should get another year but there is no comparision with Saban. It doesnt matter what we think anyway, too patient Andy didnt let Bill Courtney go, Kerwick's here for another 5 years either way as long as Andy is still in chargeby phillysportsfan - Other Sports

Miller getting heavily recruited by Mich St, UConn, Marquette, Cal, BC, Mich, Illinois, just to name a few of 30 schools. Good for him, hope he lands on a NCAA tournament team next year. Has to be the dumbest Ivy league rule that grad students cannot play sports, its anti academics if anything He also was nominated for national defensive player of the yearby phillysportsfan - Other Sports
Re: Basketball 2014-15 - 9 years ago
I would think a new coach might cost less as they will likely have less experience than Courtney. Frequent losing is one thing, not trying to start winning is another. After that Sweet 16 run you would think Men's BB would be more of a priority, no other sport at our level provides that national exposureby phillysportsfan - Other Sports
Re: Basketball 2014-15 - 9 years ago
http://cornellbball.proboards.com/post/22022/thread I believe it is neither. IMO, Andy extended Bill when the program appeared to be moving in the right direction, but now it is clear it is not. I don't have any details. I am just told that there is a very small inner circle that is involved. Bill will be back next year and from what I am told, next year is the last year absent a demonstrationby phillysportsfan - Other Sports
Re: Basketball 2014-15 - 9 years ago
Courtney has recruited more athletic guys than Donahue ever did but while occasionally they make amazing plays they are often inconsistent/undisciplined. He never really implemented his "system" Annoyed seeing these "Giving Day" emails go out while Andy doesnt do his job and fire Courtneyby phillysportsfan - Other Sports

Jim Hyla billhoward Chris '03 CAS Steve Donahue to be next Penn coach. Discuss amongst yourselves. Far from a shock. Where he wanted to be years ago. Exactly. He wanted Philadelphia (he grew up, went to Ursinus in the suburbs), he wanted a Catholic school. Penn is one out of two. He could finish his career there. Be nice to have another Ivy be competitive again. Donahue's ideal job would be Villby phillysportsfan - Other Sports

Re: Basketball 2014-15 - 9 years ago
CAS Agree we can't expect to win NCAA games. Nor should we accept losing. You play to win the games. This nicely sums up why Courtney has to go. We should be able to at least be competitive in the Ivy league at least once in 5 years.

Re: NCAA Throws the Book (Sort of) at Syracuse - 9 years ago
Boeheim is such an ass, good to see them hit him specifically with the vacated wins The problem is the NCAA is so incompetent at these investigations as with the Miami one, Syracuse will probably win some of their appeals. How did it take them 8 years to get this investigation done? The UNC is dragging along too but would think they will get hit even harder with their fake classesby phillysportsfan - Other Sports

Re: Basketball 2014-15 - 9 years ago
The problem was more the 19 than the 3. Been saying it for 4 years now, they take too many 3's especailly this year without Cressler. Hatter can be streaky and Pat Smith is supposed to be a good shooter but he is still hurt. What is Miller doing taking 5 3's, he should take at most 1 a game? Miller reminds me of Peck sometimes, all the athletic talent in the world but isnt willing to get beat upby phillysportsfan - Other Sports

mountainredIn candor, I have to say George Mason looked awful and not ready to play. But after last season, a win is a win. And a road win. Miller was 4-6 from 3, hopefully he doesnt get to comfortable taking those 3's. Mason just beat Princeton so maybe we will be somewhat competitive during league play. They will probably be just good enough for Courtney not to get fired which after last seaby phillysportsfan - Other Sports

Re: 2014-2015 Basketball - 10 years ago
mountainred But, that is almost certainly what Bill is -- the lamest of lame ducks who is coaching out the last year of his contract. Maybe the team will shock the world (or at least the tiny corner of the world that follows Ivy hoops) and challenge for the league title next season. That might earn Bill an extension.

Re: 2013-2014 Basketball - 10 years ago
Hard not to laugh when reading this article, Courtney sure said all the right things to get hired: "He said 'The Sweet 16 was great; why not Elite Eight?' " Wroblewski said. "He could tell there was talent left." "When I got to George Mason with Jim Larranaga, we had to teach guys how to win and perform and behave like winners," said Courtney, who was an aby phillysportsfan - Other Sports
