I hope I am wrong, but here are my reasons:<br /> <br />1) He is a 61 year-old man. I would think you'd want a younger guy for a program that is still on the rise<br />2) His overall tenure at Syracuse was solid, but he essentially presided over their descent into being irrelevant<br />3) While he was the coach at Syracuse, he took at proud program that had been the dominant program in the Northeast for years and watched Edsall guide the Uconn program right past them in national relevance within a matter of five years. Now they hire him as there coach??<br /> <br />I am sure he is a good coach and he comes across very well. He will probably make your job a lot easier too because he seems like he'd be much easier to cover. Just don't know if he is the right guy….No sleeves in West Havennoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31590763.post-39725200389685369312011-01-15T18:15:37.225-05:002011-01-15T18:15:37.225-05:00Don't under-estimate it.

Any little advantage can help, and keeping state kids home can make a dfference.Chip Malafrontehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16434685563004301748noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31590763.post-46027983822548557142011-01-15T17:48:20.148-05:002011-01-15T17:48:20.148-05:00Good luck to Coach P.

What DOESN'T matter one bit is this Connecticut connection nonsense. Its totally meaningless to have CT coaches behind him. UCONN will live and die with how well they recruit the mid-atlantic (PA,NJ, western NY) and south. Most bench guys in those areas would be all-state in ct. Let's hope PP can recruit where the talent is. a half dozen CT guys on the roster each year don't impact much. CT coaches need to get over themselves and realize what a small pond they coach in. Of course, we appreciate their coaching efforts, but be real.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
