Bass did not graduate, he is still a senior at the college.  He wanted to play intramural volleyball while in the basketball season and the coaches as well as the team did not think this was an appropriate amount of dedication to the team and as a result, they parted ways.

If all of the coaches would pick Outerbridge, how come Elefterakis was picked by the COACHES second team all centennial conference last year?

Do you really believe that Outerbridge is a better point guard than Elefterakis?  Are you making that judgement based solely on statistics?  Elefterakis will soon be second all-time in the Centennial Conference in assists.  Not to mention that Elefterakis' role at Haverford is far different than Outerbridge's role at F & M.  It's not hard to shoot 40% when you get wide open threes.  If you watched Elefterakis on a consistent basis, I think you'd find that defenses do not sag off of him, or leave him open ever, and so he is often forced to create his own shot. 
You made a good point that Outerbridge had a good first half and that Elefterakis had a good second half.  To be honest, I like a point guard who has better second halves, can step it up when it counts, and can lead his team to victory, rather than a point guard who has a good first half, but then gets shut down in the second half.  I don't want to turn this into a negative debate when in fact we have two good point guards.  I was just trying to say that Elefterakis outplayed Outerbridge when it counted and that led to a win for the Fords.  It is still very early to determine how the standings will turn out, but don't count Haverford out.

To the F & M fans who are wondering what the HECK happened tonight against Haverford.  Haverford won the game because they are better than F & M.  They have a young team, but a very experienced backcourt led by point guard John Elefterakis.  They are only getting better, especially with the freshmen beginning to contribute and playing significant minutes. (Ben McDowell, Dave Nowacki and Greg Rosnick)  After getting down early,  17 points, Haverford went on a monster run, and really showed a lot of toughness.  F & M is overrated this year and so is  Brandon Smith.  He is out of shape and is certainly not an all-american, especially with the defense that he plays.  Outerbridge is solid, but Elefterakis is clearly the better player, and took advantage of him in the second half.  With the game on the line, Outerbridge had the ball taken from him by Elefterakis.  The conference is definitely up for grabs this year, but don't count Haverford out.  They have one of the toughest point guards in the country and an inexperienced, but highly capable, cast of talented players.  This should be an interesting year, but I think that Haverford deserves some credit after this win against an obviously down, but still very solid and good F & M team.
