Some players decided to transfer right after Murphy left and before a new coach was named. Chris James and Miles Gibson come to mind. They weren't staying no matter what. Lowder McBride and Binelli are all more complicated. Lowder was staying. Binelli was staying. McBride was leaving. Morgan was staying. And then after Heath was named coach that all changed the opposite. Also there are still 5 guys on the roster from last year. Any explanation for that? If you're going to run them off why not all of them?

Bullseye '79! I urged the kid to stay but when the kid and his father started their rant about Heath, I found somewhere else to retire to. McBride came back and I have ZERO idea why Heath would want a zone guy like Spottsville returning so I immediately doubted the veracity of their assertions. Of course the departures of Binelli and Morgan then only bolstered their allegations.

When EMU called about the Stan Heath phone conversation, I just decided to decline to to take the call. At the end of the day, he is our coach, he cooks the meal and deserves to be able to determine the ingredients of such. I saw no reason to challenge him about the situation, yet I deeply appreciated him reaching out to season ticket holders. Let's see how he does.
