BTW, you will note my first post said he was "released". That could be fired or it could be at his request. I really don't know which, I just new there was a change. I think people made some assumptions about what the word released meant, but I chose it carefully.

I read the term RELEASED as you intended. I figured you'd have been more clear if possible.

Agreed... He wanted to make it appear as negative as possible.

Just curious what term I could have used that had been better in your opinion?

The previous coach, Jason Kosanke, resigned after the season was over. This was Hassel's third season there.

And I do have to admit, I am one who is smiling. The people I feel sorry for are last year's seniors who got cut by Hassel after three years on the team.

I didn't realize this was the same coach who did the senior thing--for some reason I was thinking it was another different guy. My apologies to Coach Kosanke for mixing him up with the current situation in my other post.

I am curious to see where Carroll turns for its next head coach. Anyone have some inklings as to who may be on that candidate list?

Do they turn to another alum? A top assistant from within the conference? Being that close to Milwaukee(and its sizable population) it seems hard to believe there would not be a quality candidate in the immediate area. Even a UW-Whitewater assistant might be an option as they are not too far apart.

If I understand right they were able to find funds to make it essentially a full-time position. Using adjunct courses and some other funds. Doesn't look like it is posted yet. Guess the luxury of being a private school is you don't have to jump through the hoops that a public school would. How about a former Notre Dame and professional player who lives in the area and isn't really doing something full time?

Fifth and final weekend of conference game starts on Thursday. Still plenty to be decided as only Ripon has clinched a spot in this year's tournament and will be the host after winning the North Division. St. Norbert and Beloit will battle for the second spot from the North and 4 teams are still alive for the 2 spots from the South.

South Division
Knox @ Illinois C. (Thu. DH), Monmouth @ Cornell (Sat. DH), Illinois C. @ Knox (Sat. DH), Cornell @ Monmouth (Sun. DH)

North Division
Beloit @ St. Norbert (Thu. DH), Carroll @ Lawrence (Sat. DH), St. Norbert @ Beloit (Sun. DH), Lawrence @ Carroll (Sun. DH)
