They were all on spring break. While I don't like him going after our recruits and possibly some players, I can't blame him for letting them know on the phone. No one was in Akron
Why do they need limitations? Should they not try to cure cancer so we have a chance to try? I don't get that. If they can afford it, they can afford it.
KD is doing just that. Their top player announced he was transferring and now it appears he will stay. Maybe our new skipper will be recruiting our own players.
We were the exception with having a successful coach stay at our level for so long. Unfortunately, that most likely won't happen again. Make a great hire, and do it again in 4-5 years.
On top of that, I'm assuming he's doing a decent job in Wisconsin as he's been promoted to associate HC, and everyone on their message boards expects him to leave for a HC gig. And as we all know message board posters are the smartest.
I'm thinking my first choice would be Paris. He's learned from KD, Bo Ryan, and now Gard. He's had experience in the Big Ten and of course with us for a while. Removed enough from KD to have his own ideas. We could do a lot worse.
