I believe Providence also has really nice updated facilities, FWIW.

Too many schools opt for coaches with established reps, playing it safe on the front end and (quite possibly) further inflating salaries. I wish more took chances on promising youngbloods; I feel we’d see more innovation in sports.

Shrewsberry!

That team would be nice. Although most groups where Kobe is back will be very nice

True. And the ones without Kobe are all very depressing

Its been what…4 years? Time for a new pay day for Cooley!

I like Shrewsberry, they’ve had a good season. I also get BigBoutros comment about bolting to a better job. With that being said, PSU has one of the oldest teams in the country lead by one of the best transfers in the country. That’s a valuable way to win in this era…but I’m not sure how easily it translates to building up a new program.

I’ve never been one of those who has been a Cooley detractor, at all, but, given the choice, and with my limited knowledge I’d take Shrewsberry. I think he’s gonna be a star!

I agree that now is the perfect time for Shrews to leave. If I were a Penn State fan I’d hate it, but if I’m Shrewsberry I strike while the iron is hot!

Why do reporters enjoy trying to trap coaches in a gotcha statement so much?

I respect his honesty. But if you’re PSU’s AD you probably want to prepare your list.

That line of questioning is totally fair, and Shrew’s response is ridiculously poor. Just say that you are focused like a laser on your guys and the next game. And if they ask the follow up, repeat your answer.

Disrespectful to his players and staff to do what he did, honestly.

This is the exact answer you get out of a 2nd year coach on his first job. There are so many other ways and better ways to answer it other than that.
