Rogers was wonderful. He led a team that could not score or rebound in scoring and rebounding. Since the team is more talented now than it was 4 years ago, he would not have to do it all.

it went like this: he had a bad first year, got to over .500 in his second year, got cocky, pissed off the NY sports press, made the playoffs in 98, got swept by da bulls, nets went in the tank to start year 3 and Saint John was toast, or perhaps more appropriately tostito.

72-112, the last 20 of which he went 3-17...He couldn't do much worse...leaving memphis for cleveland is like leaving northampton for worcester.

Of course, the $14 million of the "taxpayers dollars" that this program lost while Lappas was coach is conveniently left out of your arguments. Like I said earlier, that $93,000 "compensation" to rid ourselves of Steve Lappas is the best investment this school has made this century!

Good point MM ...

If you want to argue your own dopey take on it, how would you like to go from $250K to $93K plus a POS reputation. I would call that a kick in the ass too - you douchebag.

Call it whatever you like you mouthbreathing goathumper...its still 93K a year for not doing anything which is easily more ...

Yes there is a good chance of that happening since the team should be better next year than this year and Coach Ford should do a great job. However being paid 93K not to do anything is a very nice version of an "asskicking" seeing as most people work their butts off to make ends meet at less than ...

Maniac, do you seriously dispute the fact that the University is paying Lappas 93K in taxpayer's money not to coach next season? Its a matter of public record, if you want to continue your ludicrous denial of that reality you best come correct and substantiate your silly opinion that it is "drivel ...

$93,000 for not coaching next season is a pretty soft ass kicking....

Douchebag move by BD. H&H w/FLA would be a good deal.

Good news from Razorshark nation, nice to see that Bill McCaffrey sees something in Micah Brand. I wonder if Mister Brand has added muscle since leaving UMass such that he can actually play a true 5? Obviously this development means that Bru & Lappas screwed up by not unleashing all that potential ...

Why should we be humble when its the BC program that is tarnished with this alleged counterfitter not UMASS? If this kid was a UMass basketball player we would not stop hearing about it and reading about for weeks. Same thing with the thugs in the ucon football program and the sleazeballs in the ...

Maniac Floyd: You guys must be high. I've not trashed or ripped Pugh or Jenkins. Sweet Jesus - Jenkins was one of my favorite players, I'm psyched for the kid and hope he lands a phat guaranteed contract. Going to tennessee tech was a great move for Willie. Pugh was not one of my favorites (I think ...
