Re: PSAC WEST

You sure?

He got a 'full' buyout of his contract ... a golden, three-year parachute. It couldn't have been too serious. If they had anything to pin on him they would have.

Well you never know, but if you follow along with some of the recent IUP non-sports firings, and subsequent law suits, there are times when a buyout is preferable to all the bad publicity that a lawsuit would bring. Could almost be anything, UI don't think you can say for sure. Someone knows but they ain't sayin.

Re: PSAC WEST

Idk if Reilly would be a good fit at Clarion. He's a great coach but his style is a little outdated. No kid wants to play slow paced basketball especially today. Also, I think that it would be a difficult gig for him considering the lack of scholarships. Whoever gets the Clarion job has to be a master at finding talent for less and being able to push players past what their skill sets already are.

Clarion just needs to quit dumping money into the trash wrestling program and put some in other sports. 3 basketball scholarships is absurd!!!

The answer for Clarion is sitting on the couch right now.

Kevin Reynolds did turn the SRU program around. There's no denying that. Whatever he did there must've been serious. It's not hard to recruit if your coach really cares about it. Players will come to Clarion with the right coach at the helm. They can't miss on this one this time lol.

Haters gonna hate.

It was a giant witch hunt.

Re: PSAC WEST

Two job openings in the same off-season -- fairly rare in the West.

Any rumors about either the Gannon or Clarion jobs?

You'd surely think any good AD already had some candidates in mind prior to firing the coaches.

John Reilly to Clarion is an obvious thought. If he's interested it would be a no-brainer for Clarion.


Don't rule out the IUP24 campain of #FreeKevinReynolds.


Needless to say the calendar isn't doing either program any favors right now. Clarion just had one of its best players enter the transfer portal. Just a guess but we'll see some Gannon players leaving in the coming days.

Was it a crate of dynamite ?


LOL. Just kidding. But, not really.


That's good for Gary. He's earned it.

I'm not a fan of that style of basketball, but he's built a good program there playing/coaching/recruiting it. I hope they continue their upward trajectory, not at the expense of IUP obviously, but it's good for the league when more teams are good.

Should he continue to get "guys" like he had with Massey this year, they'll be good for a while. I don't know much about what he has coming back around next season, however. They'll probably take a step back to build it back up.

If you look at his track record there they have some big 'ups' and then typically come back down. The whole thing with that system is the chemistry and getting the right guys to buy in to it at the same time -- often a difficult task.

This year he found Massey and Patrick Smith in the same class. He hit the jackpot. They're both gone now (Thank God).

Well, they got hot at the end of the year, too probably played NWMSU as tough as anyone.

Funny to think the game in Erie ... Joe hung 47 on them in the second half.

Mercyhurst has been more consistent over the past 10 years than has Gannon. Manchel is a good rep for the school. He earned that extension. Good for him.

The MAC will always be a dump! There is no fixing that terrible structure! Manchel is still a crybaby!!!
