Maybe we dodged a bullet after all

Sources - Steve Masiello out as Manhattan men's hoops coach

Steve Masiello is out as Manhattan's head coach as the two sides failed to reach agreement on a contract extension, sources told ESPN's Jeff Borzello

I don’t know. Hard to imagine him being worse than COA ….

Who hired Antigua was it Harlan or the basketball AD?  Can't remember.

Harlan

Masiello went 102-138 (0.425) since we attempted to hire him. We are 89-160 (0.357) under COA and CBG. We dodged a bullet and stepped in front of a cannon.

COA and Harlan were the worst.  But we have CBI

[Mike Stuben]

The story is wild, in that no scandal. Steve was mad about his contract, heard the AD just got an extension, so Steve went to the President to ask for an extension, then got fired. 

It is always an interesting power dynamic in Athletic Departments, who is the most powerful person in the department, AD or head coach of top revenue sport (MBB or Football).

For sure!  We'll always have that ***** Pill Tourney trophy, so we can hold our heads up high and proud.

The CBI was significant at the time, because if you looked at the teams that had won it in previous years, the majority of them built on it to bigger and better things. We, obviously, did not. Seems to be a trend, huh? Football (No. 2), baseball (Super Regional), softball (CWS), etc.

You forgot the biggest one: In 2014, Rocky won the Capital One Mascot Challenge.
