Re: Iup basketball

Valid. But .. when three separate shootings go down on Friday night of IUPATTY'S ... and end up all over the mainstream media ... it doesn't matter if they were students or not. It all gets linked to IUP in public perception.

Re: Iup basketball

They've only confirmed two shootings, which the cops say are unrelated (I call BS on that one): 12th and Philadelphia for the first scene around 1, then on Oakland Street an hour later.

Third event was firing a weapon, no one was hurt. there was property damage. good old copper Beech

Re: Iup basketball

How do we know that the actors involved in the shootings were students and not 'townie trash'? Because, believe me, California Borough had their fair share of townie trash (emphasis on the word 'trash') who made that town almost unbearable at times.

Michelle Fryling has anounced that 2 of the 4 people injured are IUP students. This implies that the shooters were not. since she reports on IUP students. Now maybe she is waiting for more info from police but I'm thinking the real problem here are visitors.

Third shooting just announced. Quite a night.

Driscoll can't control his animals. His firing is long past due. Yet ... the morons wonder why enrollment keeps falling. This isn't a college anymore. It's a sewer full of 'students' who happened to spell their names right on their applications.

Re: Iup basketball

Great start to IUPatty's last night with two separate shootings. More great publicity.

Yeah, they really need to put the hammer down to discourage the bad element visitors that do most of this. close off parking spaces, get the bars to close at 8 like Penn State did, shut down parties with arrests, maybe even some kind of stop and frisk or DUI checkpoints. The university needs to crack down with heavy punishments for students who are cited during these events .

THen again, at least a former president has not been found guilty of Child endangerment.

It's also all over all the Pittsburgh channels now.

IUP conference schedule for next year ... no Ship or Kutztown. Those two are replaced by Cheyney and East Stroudsburg. ESU game is at KCAC over break.

And, yes, Dante could play at YSU. Look around D2 ... it's full of 'YSU type' players. It would take a new coach a couple years to rebuild it anyway. The current YSU team likely wouldn't even come close to winning the title in D2. The difference between high-end D2 and low-end D1 is much, much, much closer than most realize. But, I hope you're right and this is all for not anyway.

Agree with this. Also agree with Chuck's post regarding Joe's age. This isn't typically the age where guys are going to go and make that jump. Nor is it an age where a mid-major school goes after a guy who's never been a D1 head coach. The guys who coach mid-majors are either retreads that get fired at a bigger job and are just there until the next opportunity opens up, or the Shaka Smart/Brad Stevens type of guy. Young, energetic, and new breath of fresh air into the program.

I think there is validity to Joe being a strong candidate there, but like Chuck said, I think it's only because he's an alumnus of the school. If you're YSU, you just had a coach that had been there for over a decade that was an older guy in the profession retire. To add, he had minimal success there. You can say they were average in his time there.

Isn't that the time to go young from their perspective? I guess my thought is that Joe is approaching 60. Honestly, how much longer do you want to coach when you're at a D2 or low-level D1 program at that age? 5-7 years?

From a basketball perspective, it seems like this would be a time for them to go after a guy that's younger. But I see him as a legitimate candidate for the job.
