Are we sure that waivers exist anymore, at all?

I thought waivers still exist, but am not sure. Waivers might only be for wellness/health issues and be much more restrictive than before

I personally believe Coach Cal is coming back one day too. Pitino for 4 years, some stiff for 3 and then Cal takes the reigns to end his career

This decade is going to suck for many reasons, so let's at least make UMass hoops a bright spot for us!

…. Maybe we can crowd source the buyout ?

I don’t think that will be necessary. If he’s back as head coach next year then a serious investigation should be launched in regards to Bamford’s competency

^ ^^If he's back next season, there will be no crowd to source, not that there's much of one left now anyway.

With the very low attendance numbers they can look at the ticket database and see how many season ticket holders are no longer attending games on a regular basis. And how many people bought individual game tickets and didn't attend. I suspect they will send out a survey at the end of the season seeking to find out why people with tickets choose not to attend. Options like, COVID, the quality of the product, Game times, opponents etc... They won't specifically ask if it is because of the coaching but they'll build the survey in a way where they can glean out that information. If/when they find out a big reason was the quality of the product/coaching if no change is made they run the risk of losing even more season ticket holders.

Where is that guy”umassfan” who was leading the fire DK chants on this board. Maybe that was RB?

Probably at ConnU laughing his arse off at our attendance.
