Wasn't it obvious from watching Herenda in action that this was all about him and not the players, the school or the tradition at Cabrini. Is anyone surprised that this happened...The previous Athletic Director is directly responsible for the whole mess and she split too. Can the administration of the school please get it right this time. Maybe the 4th coach in 5 years will be the right one....Many of us saw this coming from a mile away, right away. Sorry but I told you so.

Well last night took the cake.To say that there is a "lack of complete players" is an indication that the wool continues to be pulled over one's eyes. How about a "complete lack of the right players on the court!" Lack of complete players...how could you know that when there is never a consistent group of players on the court long enough to get anything done.

The cat is out of the bag now. The show Herenda put on last night was a complete disgrace...an embarrassment to the school, the students, the alumni players and worst of all, the current team. Better yet he did it in front of alumni players and a number of other league coaches. All 15 players played in the first 5 minutes of the game last night!  The looks on the faces of the players who were subbing in for players who we know should be on the court at critical times tells it all. Good work Herenda...maybe the very kids that were once vying with each other for spots will realize that you have completely undone the team and the program will pull together for each other these last few games.

The circus atmosphere on the bench and the revolving door at the scorers' table was unbelievable. A couple favorites... the head coach down on all 4's pounding his head on the court, the head coach spending valuable coaching time imploring the cheerleaders and fans to cheer. And of course the continued and varied stomping postions!

Oh, and by the way, Herenda had nothing to do with Glenn Washington coming to Cabrini, but he will probably have everything to do with his leaving!

So, I guess this is part of the plan, which makes absolute sense when you are dealing with someone as self-centered as this coach...it is now all about him now!

For those of you who have written to say that Herenda is a good coach with a lot of passion, you are having the wool pulled over your eyes!

I saw another Cabrini game tonight and I am convinced that this coach is worse than the last one. He is more of an egotist than the last guy, but will get a free pass this year to do the crazy things he does because he has connected himself with the local basketball community, reconnected with the basketball alumni, and gives the impression that he knows a lot about basketball, not to mention that he has that all important Division 1 experience beside his name which taught him one thing...how to stomp his foot!

In the meantime the players, 3 of whom who have had 3 coaches in 4 years, and most who went through last year's mess, are enduring the humiliation and frustration of another season that is all about the coach, not the players, while the underclassmen are probably wondering what they have gotten themselves into.

What basketball coach spends time playing to the crowd, instructing the fans and cheerleaders to get up and cheer, and then turns around and screams at his bench players who are not cheering loud enough. For crying out loud, coach your team Herenda.

And while you are at it, how about coming up with a rotation of some sort so that the players know their roles...how in the name of God could any player on that Cabrini team know what his role is. That is, until the second half of an important game. That is when the players who should have been in during the first half for a reasonable amount of time, and been part of a regular rotation are asked to suck it up and come in and win the game, and then blamed for the loss when they do things every player does...miss a shot, foul or turn the ball over. It is never the coach's fault.

What college coach plays all 15 players, or in tonight's case, 14, in the first half of a game. What is he trying to prove. This is not biddy basketball. Freshman do not expect to play, and let's be truthful, there are going to be players on every college team who just don't play. That is what intramurals is for.

For at least the 6th time tonight Herenda coached the team to a loss. The box scores confirm this. Look at the minutes and the list of players who have played in the Widener, Neumann, Scranton, Alvernia, and Lycoming games, not to mention the first half of tonight's game.  When you are up 10 points in the first half at Eastern you leave your starters in, or at least use a rotation of players who are ready to be on the court, and pile it on. Herenda is the stereotypical rally killer. Shooters are hot, kill the rally by taking them out, players (some) make a mistake and they are looking over their shoulders to see who is coming in for them. Half the time the players on the court are double checking  to see who they are on the court with because there is no sense or logic and certainly no expectation of whom you would think should  be on the court during the first half of an important league game. How could that possibly be happening at this point in the season!

Let's hope for the players sake that they win some of the important games down the stretch and make the play-offs for their own dignity, and then the new administration endorses the value of the basketball program and makes a decision to get someone to coach this team who knows what coaching is all about...the players not himself.
