PSAC WEST

[Ship69]

The Ian Grady item did bring up an inevitable point as we approach March. Many teams in the league are about to call it quits soon.

So, who could be sitting on that yearly perch known as the hot seat?


Top candidates:

John Sanow / Bloomsburg - Back-to-back dreadful seasons not a good sign for a long-tenured coach

Pat Cleary / Edinboro - One season above .500 in past 5 years

Bobby McGraw / Slippery Rock (women's) - His record speaks for itself



Top candidates to move up a level (if interested):

Danny Sancomb - He's younger than you realize. He wanted the Youngstown State job a couple years ago. His lightning fast turnaround at Cal surely isn't going unnoticed.

Chris Fite - He has the perfect resume for a mid-major program -- professional playing career mixed with an incredible rebuild of a pretty dreadful program.

Coach Fite certainly seems to be planning on spending the next season at Ship. He's very active on the recruiting trail right now.

I came back on here to share that. I ran it by someone and that's what they guessed. Without an announcement its probably safe to assume as much. Kinda like periodic posting of high school coaching positions.

I thought he was only named him interim coach and then they gave him a full year. So it could just be procedural because after a termination or resignation, a job has to be posted. So this would be the posting after Reynolds (since they never did).

Also very well could be Rock wanting to bait the line and see if anything better bites.

[Fightingscot82]

Beats me.

FS82: Is this one of those 'procedural' things where they have to open the job in his contract year? If memory serves me correctly they only gave him a one-year deal when they lifted the interim tag mid-way last season.

If it's not just a procedural item and he really is gone ... that's shocking. No idea what happens behind closed doors but, man, they seemed to have a whole new (positive) identity under Grady. I always questioned how you could just fire KR for a laundry list of items yet his long-time assistant was given a free pass?

I know they are having a pretty down (.500 type) season, but you'd surely expect he'd get at least two years.


As for candidates ... who knows. SRU is a nice job. The facilities are kind of blah but it's a nice town, growing enrollment, etc.


And, before IUP24 starts the campaign, ... #FREEKEVINREYNOLDS is not coming back. LOL.


Here's a candidate: John Reilly (that would be fantastic ... a great hire)

I've heard that Butler County Correctional has a decent rec team. Maybe they can give that guy a call?

[IUP24]

There's only one guy for this job... #FreeKevinReynolds

Lock Haven 104

Wow

Double overtime. From the box score, it looks like a letdown performance. I wonder how much of that was the result of clinching the division on Wednesday. Interesting thing is that the Raiders generally have played better on the road than at home this year, which certainly is a reversal of years past. For some reason, they seem to be getting little, if any, advantage in foul calls at home this season. It'll be interesting to see how the last three games go.
