For the past few months (since the end of basketball season) I just do not feel a connection with the
university sports programs. A lot of grumbling, player defections and dismissals, poor coaching
decisions, etc. etc.

Football: The university tried the infamous "let's see what this under qualified man can do" only to
be sadly disappointed. So, what do they do? Let's try this mistake again. Its not fair to dismiss
Ron Ianello without giving him an opportunity. Really? Ianello is likely to fail. He has already
created turmoil in his program and he has not even coached a single game. Just an overall bad
feeling about the state of affairs with in the football program.

Soccer: While pleased with last year's performance; how can you not be; there is something just
not right. Player defections with excuses. The university dragging its foot; so to speak; over
upgrading the facilities which the program earned. Feeling of tension is what I get.

Basketball: What idiot tosses out a slimy rumor of a major player defection in the midst of turmoil
within the men's basketball program? Darn good thing I'm not a moderator. Or, bingo ... banned.
That was the worst "joke" ever on this board. Coach has his hands full righting a badly tilted ship.
It is not often that a team produces a 24-11 season and leaves its fans with a sour taste.

Athletic Director: No leadership. No vision. No plan. Hire your cronies. Grade "F". blah

Do you know something about this situation that we don't? Or is this similar to your claim that Akron wouldn't get the #1 bid in the NCAA tourney last year?

I'm going to second Z.I.P's sentiments and recognize the university for distancing itself from this website. For every poster who actually has some knowledge of what's really happening in zips sports there's fifty who don't. The real issue is that 30 of those 50 who know nothing keep posting as if they know something.

Call me crazy, but I'm going to give the AD and Ianello a year or two before 'grading' them. They must be devastated, I know. I'm sure iCoach checks zipsnation daily for Can't State's current grading.
