So far so good Huge. Is she divisive...yes, did she make 2 good hires for 2 struggling programs....yes. Time to get over the Shaver firing, he had 16 chances and couldn't get it done. If his winning percentage (sub .500) was a batting average he'd be in the hall of fame. Bidness is bidness, sorry you and a few in the vocal minority feel that way. All I know is that I will be making the trip in to Williamsburg friday for the game, love to see you all there too!
Welcome to the Board!
The AD needs to be left out of this thread about a road game won at Wofford by our team, a significant achievement. Her firing of Shaver was a disgrace; no need to go over old ground.
The 2019-2020 MBB team is part-Tony, and part-Dane. It is not part-AD. If the AD had her way, III is here, and this team is not 3-0 under III.
Tony and Dane get credit for what is happening now. In fact, I don't think Dane is getting enough credit. He has done an unbelievable job to this point. This is my school's team, and my team ... coaches, team staff, and players.
Been attending games at the Hall since 1976, and am not going to stop now because of an administrator's decision, egregious as it was.
IMO, I don't think that the team and staff that we thought we were going to have in 2019-2020, prior to Tony's firing, starts out at 3-0. The overall chemistry / team play appears to have improved under the principles of basic math: subtraction and addition.
I liked the Dane hire. I am thrilled to be 3-0 with three straight road wins. I look forward to attending some Saturday conference games, and following the team. I am not over the Shaver disgrace. I don't react well to people who tell me to get over it; I think it's a form of disloyalty to one of our own. I will not go to DC for the CAA tourney. There is no joy for me re: this Dance fixation and how it separated Tony from our community ... that was too high a price to pay. If this team makes the Dance, I win a bet with a frat brother. I am able to spit and chew gum at the same time (but not eat pizza at Anna's Brick Oven with Dane ... not yet).
Glad your coming to the game on Friday. I will not be there. I will listen to Jay on my drive down. But I will be in the Gold Lot on Saturday (plenty of space for you, but that's another story/issue that folks seem to be ignoring).
