Sad to see coach Fudala go but he's moving up the chain to a head coach spot. Good luck to him.

Sometimes I wonder what these really successful small college coaches think when stuff like this happens. In 3.5 years goes from Fairmont State to Head Coach of the Boston freaking Celtics. Still remember the really good forward for Mercyhurst ripping their heart out with that game winning 3 in overtime in the NCAA’s that year.

They'll get a way larger candidate pool immediately after the season.
D2 coaches seem to have way higher morals than D1. The timing was just awful.

It just looks like he had no where to go after his dad retired, and he was the best available, but not what IUP wanted.

I'd guess, as FS82 eluded, due to the timing they probably got very limited applicants. Tom couldn't have left at a worse time.
I read they will re-open the position after the season.
Who knows. Perhaps the interim coach will do well and they will keep him.

I do the North Hills to Slippery Rock drive every weekday! 1 mile to 279 and up to 79 then 5 easy miles to campus. My point was that not everyone is comfortable driving an hour on older two-lane roads over the river and through the woods to Indiana they go, especially on those dark winter nights after a weeknight game. 22 is just fine until it gets more rural around Delmont. You're right about 119 but that's the easy part - it cuts off that hill on 22 right after the interchange. That hill can be almost as treacherous as 22 at Ebensburg. Plum is a little more desirable but you've still got 286, which is even hillier and windier.Last edited by IUPbigINDIANS; 09-21-2022, 12:08 PM.

You're right –– if Pittsburgh is the size of Slippery Rock. But it's not. It all depends on where in Pittsburgh you're coming from.
I'm sure you know your geography, but North Hills to Slippery Rock is quick and easy while Monroeville to Slippery Rock is not (~$50 a week in turnpike tolls).
Just like North Hills to Indiana is not quick or easy, but Monroeville to Indiana is (22/119).

If that is the case, I'd point to some key factors:
* Tom's retirement had terrible timing for the program. His last 'official' day was in mid-August. The hiring process takes forever in the PASSHE. Assuming IUP is targeting a currently-employed head coach, ... not all want to leave their current team high and dry in late September.
* At best, that can be the No. 3 program on campus. It will always play second fiddle to the men's program and football.
* There is no time for a new coach to add any transfers as the semester is well underway. The cupboard isn't bare, but it's far from the way Tom found it several years ago.
The surprising part:
* I'd guess that the job pays pretty well for D2 -- and would be a significant pay raise for many sitting PSAC women's head coaches. Indiana is also a very nice small town compared to many.
* Once you're here, the resources and amenities are all in place.
* The administration cares about winning -- especially in the 'revenue' sports.
Opening Night is 52 days away. The exhibitions are even closer. This could be a very long year for the program.
