MBB: Colonial States Athletic Conference

[heatlee]

I can't understand why Matt Allen, Jim Casicano, Greg Herenda, and Chris Parsons are candidates for the Cabrini position, not that they all aren't qualified, because they are.  First, Parsons and Allen are DI assistants at quality schools and would take a pay cut to become the head coach of the Cavaliers, even if it is definitely full-time? Herenda has been a top level DI assistant and is a juco coach in the midwest, and if he wants to get back into DI it isn't going to be through Cabrini.  Casicano is a DI head coach at NJIT, and granted they are still a young program it is still DI but it doesn't make sense for him to be looking at Cabrini.  So WHY would he take two steps back?  The answer more than likely is he wouldn't.

Whatever happened to looking within the Cabrini family?  Last time I checked none of these candidates had any ties to the college.  But they all appear to be quality candidates.

[WolfPAC]

Heat, if the college has to pay them like coaches to get them there and have a full-time position why the hell didn't they just keep John?

Major screw up.  Personal vendetta ?   Makes no sense.  Think the admn is only blowing smoke up peoples..... and trying to show up Dzik.  Wow! if a staff from the Cabrini family is able to make good things happen and these other coaches from D1 programs are not able.... what does that say about the situation?

Anyone else hear differently?

Hey all,

The four names I mentioned earlier were given to via a current player on the team.  Obviously due to his situation I will not reveal his name.  He told me that he received an e-mail from the athletic department of Cabrini giving those four names to him.  I can only speak for the info that was given to me.

[Coach C]

I can confirm the names that were mentioned above.

[MR. PAC]

The vern will beat cabrini on the road and at home.

I am new to this board but I have been someone who has followed Cabrini Basketball for a long time. I was ashamed at how they disposed of Coach Dzik like a piece of trash! What a shame for someone who meant so much to not only Cabrini but also to the PAC!

And look at who they picked to replace him someone with no Head Coahing experience at any level! No wonder he got fired! Now looking at the names mentioned in the running for the job now:

Lets take a closer look:

Two of the candidates Parsons and Allen have 0 zilch Head Coaching experience at any level! Hello didn't they learn from the last guy? I guess not!

Coach Casciano:

Did well at VMFA, Left for Kings had a nice run there and then NJ Tech having a rough time. After going to several Cabrini games these kids willl not be able to handle Casciano and his Milatary style! Especially the one kid lefthander, don;t remember his name because he is not a college player at any other school! I witnessed this kid scream at the fired coach and show no respect for anyone! This is a cancer on that team! It is like trying to stuff a square peg in a round hole but he is the best candidate from these four !

And last but certainly least Herenda"

You have got to be kidding look at his record it speaks for itself!

Conclusion :

The inmates are running the asylum! The AD really has done a poor job first with the last hire and then knowing they were going to fire the coach and waiting 2 months to start the search? Great plan maybe the problem isn't the coaches its the AD and the rest of the administration!

I for one will never go to or support anything regarding Cabrini! The money I used to contribute to the school will go elsewhere from now on!

What a shame! Might as well merge with Rosemont  and go back to an all girls school ?

They went after the last coach how long before they get the AD and staff? Too long the damage is done !Cabrini is the lauging stock of the PAC and of college basketball in these parts!

[WolfPAC]

Could not have said it any better.

Rosemont on King of Prussia Road.   The lacrosse team is so good but cannot  get past a second round.  The school is falling athletically.

Get rid of the administration and the place will be restored.

[WolfPAC]

In case  you have not heard


Cabrini has a new men's basketball coach.   Does anyone know anything about him?

Hope the change is for the better.

Herenda.

[heatlee]

Herenda was the head coach at Elgin Community College in Illinois where they went to the regional championship game and lost. and finished 18-11. Previously he had been the associate head coach at East Carolina for former Drexel coach Bill Herrion.  Prior to that he was at Yale as an assistant, Seton Hall, and Holy Cross.  He has the experience and can be a winner at Cabrini, but in order to get him they must have either made this job full-time or gave him a position on campus that will allow him to be there all the time. 

[WolfPAC]

So.... Is this reason enough to optimistic if one cares about the welfare of Cabrini's basketball program??

[heatlee]

This hire at Cabrini is much better than the last one, without a doubt.

[chizwiz]

Congrats to Cabrini for picking someone who seems (and I stress "seems") to be a good coach for the job.  I wish he and his staff the best.

I wonder if he is going to stick with the current staff or clean house and use his own guys.  Anyone?

Good riddance to you know who.  By the way, anyone in a market for a good seersucker outfit?

[luvdahoops]

There will be an announcement tomorrow (Thursday, May 24) that will iimPACt this conference in a significant way.
