Virginia promotes assistant coach Kevin Cassese, who was HC at Lehigh before leaving to be OC at UVa three years ago, reportedly at the personal request of now-fired HC Lars Tiffany.

A comment on TheSabre (UVa equivalent of Elynah):

> Kevin the Usurper, first of his name. Long may he reign.-- Fair Weather Hoo

Incidentally, Cassese was reportedly offered the Cornell HC job in 2014 after DeLuca was fired and Kerwick was interim HC, and turned it down.

At least 90% of recruiting has to do with factors that the coach has no direct control over: academics, campus culture, weather, facilities, likelihood of a championship,  etc. There's not some magic knob that a coach can turn to improve recruiting.

Virginia fired their coach Lars Tiffany (two national championships in his ten years there) on Monday.    Rumor mill has four coaches interviewing, none named Buczek.

Amazing stat:

Saves: Cornell 17, Hopkins 3 (all in the 1st half)

Most 2nd half FOs went to GB scrums that Hop won, partly by talent/effort, partly by luck

Bigger problem for Cornell was an inability to get a step on offense. Hop D was very good.
