Stony put on one hell of a show. Four games and one OT in four days.

Had a feeling Stony Brook had this in them. They looked like a completely different team in game 2 we saw them

I thought it was a entertaining tournament.

Hats off to SB, OT last night and I believe double OT to beat Drexel. Kind of knew when it went to OT.

But I hate it when a team dribbles out the last few seconds and then does a 1 on 1.

Nice article by KT. “Must get better” is the understatement of the year.

Yep. KT does a nice job and if anything is too kind. It could basically be the same article he wrote last year.

I agree…KT does a nice job. He’s in a tough spot essentially being the only reporter covering UD sports on a regular basis. Trying to balance getting access to coaches and administrators while attempting to maintain some level of objectivity can’t be easy. Hopefully Chrissi lays out very clear objectives and expectations during her end of season review with MI. Time to light a fire under his butt.

Does Martin counsel anyone out of the program? With only 1 open scholarship, makes things tough to get “2 point guards”.

What is involved in getting someone off an athletic scholarship & onto “medically unable to perform”, or whatever it may be called scholarship? 1 player hasn't seen the court in 2 years & others have been severely limited!

It's honestly called being a SCUMBAG!!!
Now Coach and Player may sit down and have a conversation???? But Coach may also realize that after 2 years that the next 3 may offset the first 2. There are many possibilities.

But......if you start just getting rid of kids who represent UD in a positive way both on the court and in the classroom , it will have a severely NEGATIVE impact on future recruiting. Honor the commitment!!!! There are 12 other individuals plus walkons

If you want to kill HS recruiting, tell mom & dad their son’s scholarship is only conditional, based on his on court performance, playing time or health.

If a HS recruit takes care of his business in the classroom, in the locker room (team rules) and reps UD positively in the community, he leaves UD with a degree. Period!

Weren't Asamoha & Arletti at least encouraged to leave? Further, I believe that UD over many years and many sports moved injured players on athletic scholarships who were medically unable to perform to non-athletic scholarships.

Exactly - do NOT take away a scholarship, just tell them their playing tine is being reduced, if production doesn't increase. Then let the “student athlete” make the decision if they want to say or go! That's being “honest, which I think most players would appreciate.

BTW - I NEVER said conditional. My sisters D1 field hockey scholarship was one year at a time & had to be renewed annually!

Yes those conversation's do take place between player and coach. No one knows if that will be the case here??

Correct they are renewable yearly.

I think you are looking at the very small picture. Injuries occur, part of the game. If you ran off good kids because of injuries, your job would get very easy, you wouldn't have one kid to run off because you would have no kids playing for you.

If you can't understand the long term negative effects, sorry.

Some kids value the education, just ask your boy up at Nova, still have yet to see him play meaningful minutes in 3 years!!! :D
