Now that Terry Conrad got whacked at Bloomsburg, when will the rumor mill begin on which local coach is applying for the job?

Keyser Soze

right...............................................I think Rickrode had his chance a few years ago. What makes you so sure they would take anyone after Terry's showing?

[saratoga]

Maybe the 2nd. time is the charm for Jerry. Just think, if he gets the job he can take Shovlin with him & then he'll (Shovlin) have played at the DI, DIII & DII levels...& still without an NCAA appearance.

Simply meant that the rumor mill will encompass all the "usual suspects".....................................I think Rickrode had his chance a few years ago. What makes you so sure they would take anyone after Terry's showing?

Simply meant that "rumor mill" will probably eoconpass all the "Usual Suspects".

I don't really really follow the Bloomsburg program.....I guess that haven't been tearing it up the past few years.


Would a Carl Danzig be a possibility? Or his co-COY Sgt. Don Friday....just the facts CC.

I'm sure there are a few Bucknell, Lafayette, Lehigh asst. Coach types that might be intrigued as well.

Bennies are pretty good: (just hit coaches from this link)

CC,

Watching some DI hoops tonight....
Just not the same as sitting on some planks and watching a Wilkes-Kings clash .....lol

Who did everyone pick in their brackets??

Heard DaU and Saratoga picked  the Royals....just kiddin of course.

BC, UConn, UCLA and Duke....hate to be so chalky but that is what I filled in.
Had UCLA and BC in the finals with UCLA winning it.

But what do I know???

Drop me a line. Interested what you are hearing on the Times Leader situation.

Nais,
UCLA winning a title?  What is this, 1970??

Knightstalker,
Rowan's team of 1996 doesn't count.  An entire squad of D-1 transfers... please.   They make Leb Val of 1993 look clean.

My Final Four, listed so that people can make fun of me later:
UConn over Villanova, assuming the health of Allen Ray
Texas over Kansas, for the "real" Big 12 Championship
UConn over Texas, as UT falls one game short of the greatest Trifecta in college sports history

Maybe Danzig would like the job at Bloom.  Then he can take the legendary Canio Cianci with him, and let the rest of the conference win some titles.  Give me Rickrode as a head coach, and Cianci as an assistant, and I'll give you a team that's 14-0 in the Freedom. (OKay, maybe 13-1...)

[Warren Thompson]

OK, just for that ... may you forever prescribe a laxative for dysentery. 

[NEPAFAN]

Poor G-MAC anyone see the post game news conference?

Go luck to the Lady Royals !

[Knightstalker]

A whole squad, must be coal dust math when three equals five.  And only two were starters.  It counts, they did everything within the rules.  The NCAA amended the rules afterwards but it is a legitimate title.  I am also fairly sure they are not the only team to take advantage of a loophole in the rules to win.  A loophole that was later closed when discovered.

Loophole, aka cheat.

knightcrawler,
When teams need to find loopholes to win a title, it shows how desperate they are.
I'd love to know how many of those players graduated? Or, to give them the benefit of the doubt, how many actually saw the inside of a classroom?

Nais,
I have UCLA headed to the Final Four, but losing in the final to UConn.
Be honest, did you pick Winthrop over UT? I did. How many steps did that kid take on the game winning shot?
Times Leader? Gee, I haven't the foggiest on what you mean.

Antwan Dasher and the other whos name I can't remember graduated the third Roscoe Harris was murdered in Jersey City before he could finish school.

The NCAA allowed four years of participation for Prop 48 athletes.  Prop 48 allowed a player who was academically ineligible to sit one year on scholarship and play three years for the school giving the scholarship.  They could no longer play on scholarship for the school but they still had one year of eligibility left.  The NCAA rules at the time allowed them to transfer to another school and play that final year.  If they transferred to D-II or D-III they could play right away, if they stayed at a D-I school they would have to sit if they transferred and pay the tuition.  These three were not good enough for St. Joes or another school to find other "financial aid" to stay in school.  It was a loophole that the NCAA closed but it was not cheating, these players still had one year of eligibility left.  Blame the NCAA not Rowan, Rowan did it within the rules that is not cheating.  Is it taking advantage of something yes, most coaches will if their administration would allow it but it is not cheating.

I would be interested in checking on the academic progress of some of the Scranton players from the 76 team, Donnie Drunk was not the only player that thought class was something to sleep through back then.

[cold_case]

Donny Drunk flunked out of Scranton. He was also academically ineligible the second semester of the previous year.
Ask me about John DeRichie, another member of that 1976 team, who everyone thought was a rock. You'd be surprised to hear what that rock is doing now.

[NEPAFAN]

Fix your picture Knightstalker.

Nobody cares about Donnie Drunk in 1976. What do you have against Drunks anyway?

[phil]

I didn't see Rowan get any NCAA sanctions, record book asterisks, title stripping, public flogging or burning whilst tied to a stake. Only Upsala could lay claim to going outside the rules after playing second fiddle to North Park for so many years.

Golly gee. I'd hate to see the acerbic vitriol from some MAC posters if we open the next athletic calendar year with TCNJ as a member.

So many years have past (a decade) since naughty Rowan bolstered their football and basketball teams with transfers. Shame on the head coaches (who are now at North Carolina and Maine respectively) who made/make the Rowan athletic department pay in the court of public opinion every day for something that happened ten years ago.

...But at the very least we could hope for posters who can make an accusation with half a memory and a shred of information.

Cold_Case
I seriously doubt anybody at Rowan sat down to brainstorm a way to find and exploit a loophole to win a national championship. Terrence Stewart played four years, was the Final Four MVP and Rowan's all-time leading scorer. He graduated. Antwan Dasher and Roscoe Harris are your players in question since they were the only other players to average double digits in '96. Dasher transfered from FDU with a year of elligibility on the court even though he was class of '95.

...regarding an earlier fact-filled post of yours – nobody ever called Greg Grant "machine gun".

[Knightstalker]

Phil Dr. Gianinni is now at LaSalle.  Stewart was the one I couldn't remember, Dasher did graduate but not from Rowan.  Like I posted before Roscoe Harris was going to finish up at NJCU when he was murdered.

Another player Ryan Cochran left Rowan after that season and entered the military and came back about four years ago and finished college and played his last three years.
