Considering that our flagship sport, men's basketball, has never had much success in the Atlantic 10 in 25 years (4 winning conference seasons, never made it to the quarters of the A10 tournament) ... maybe the problem isn't the above named sports...maybe it is we don't belong in the Atlantic 10. Talent-wise and money-wise, we should go back to the Metro Atlantic Athletic Conference. We're more on a par with those schools than we are with the Atlantic 10.

I'm guessing this board will buy a bunch of these ...............................or not!

Fordham should consider changing leagues. They're a strong academic school and they'd probably be better off in the Patriot League with other schools that have stiff entrance requirements.
Ironically, in the comments section of the attached article, it says La Salle needs to get out of the A-10, also. I've seen that comment frequently on the another A-10 basketball message board.

I met him on campus while he was a student at La Salle. A real gentleman and mature beyond his years. He got us a lot of national attention.

He's 6-10 and as they say, "You can't teach height." That's the plus side.
But he's also another "project player," like Garrett Bragg was. Only a 3-star rating which explains why nothing other than mid-major schools were interested in him.

He deserves better.
I hope a D1 school puts him on their staff.
He did as much as he could at Lincoln and I think he'll be a good coach at a higher level in time.

So a 5 game increase in wins; losing a key player with a few games to go and all while the freshmen played significant minutes and he hasn't advanced this program much? I'd say you're not being very objective. Bonus: Per Kale, we beat the Hawks twice for the first time in the regular season for the first time this century.[/quote] Gee whiz....you sure are a positive, upbeat kinda guy! 😁 You're right.....now that I think about it, this team reminds me of the 30-2 La Salle team. I'm sure we'll be close to that kind of won-loss record next year! 😁

Hey, "it's a business," right? Players can leave whenever they want to for their own reasons.
La Salle should cast off their underachievers to free up some scholarship room.
After all, "it's a business."

Yeah, what a great message that would send. Brilliant! Yeah, so it would be better to let the kid rot on the bench for another 3 years, right? That's absolute genius!
It would be better for the player to actually have an opportunity to play at another school, perhaps at a lower level, where he'll get a chance to possibly start.
People on this board write with regularity whenever a player leaves because he thinks he can better his situation, "Oh well....it's a business." Well, it's a business from the college's vantage point, also, and they're serving the best interests of the kid to boot.

Do we have two open schollies? Schools not in the Power 5 can cut players loose at anytime in order to free up scholarships. If the Atlantic 10 didn't vote to uphold the scholarship rules of the Power 5, it's something La Salle should seriously consider.

Unfortunately, the revised outlook seems to be headed THIS way.....
Year 1: We stink Year 2: We stink Year 3: We might be a little better with addition of the players who out this year. Year 4: We might be a little under .500 in the league, or..............we'll stink.

I feel like all the smartest posters here said Ash’s first year of legit consequence is when the current freshmen are seniors. Seriously??? Tell that to Keith Dambrot at Duquesne. Seems like he didn't use that as an excuse - he just took what he had and won.

Since it's obvious that the program won't get better with 3-star (or lower) rated players, what are you (or what is the school) doing to make La Salle look good to prospective players in order to get better recruits?

That Hikim kid killed us in overtime. Bad pass decisions, throwing passes at player's feet, he wanted to be the hero and tried to take the ball to the hoop when he had no shot. Ugh! Croswell may have finally arrived as a player, based upon this game and the steady improvement he's shown up to this point.

Consistent whining about a new coach not turning around an underfunded, under-supported program in less than two years totally screams "half a clue about how college basketball works" for sure. Its definitely the coaching that's been holding us back over the last 25 years in the A-10. Seriously?? Keith Dambrot didn't seem to have any trouble turning things around at downtrodden Duquesne. 16-16 and 7-11 his first year, inheriting a 3-15/10-22 team. 19-13 and 10-8 his second year. 15-3 and 5-1 currently. There those who can coach without making excuses and "5 year plans" and those who cannot. It's not rocket science......it's shouldn't take an act of Congress to turn a basketball program around.

Listen stupid. If you read the board a little more often, you'd see today there was talk of him playing. But no, you're too busy making asinine comments left and right while preening over your supposed cleverness. How old are you anyways? 10?
Dress pants = NOT PLAYING

More and more you're looking like you're nothing but a troll. More than likely from another school. Keep it up. You couldn't be MORE wrong. You're actually being "positive" about what's going on with this program right now??
If the truth hurts, don't look, it might go away.

Which gets us what number seed in the NCAA tournament, exactly??? You should absolutely fuck yourself for roughly one trillion years my dude. How childish of you.
Can't put a coherent thought together without being profane?

"To make matters worse, Miller-People said, she was living by herself — not only without a roommate but without anyone else on her floor — for a number of days before the other non-athlete students arrived on campus. She spent her nights alone, depressed, scrolling mindlessly through her phone and crying herself to sleep, she said."
She sounds way too immature to be at ANY college. She's a product of that culture that calls 17-24 year-olds "kids," helping to produce the childish mindset they have. ("I don't have to "adult" until I'm about 30.") Instead of preparing to show the world how independent and grown-up they are, they embrace the "kid" label and continue with their infantile behavior.
It's a shame La Salle, like so many organizations today, doesn't have the courage to stand-up and say, "We investigated and we find no evidence of any destructive "hazing" and therefore, the case is closed. We wish her well."

You know you've arrived as a college basketball program when you beat..............Murray State. (Groan!)
Makes me think of the old Murray's Delicatessen that used to be in Jenkintown. Either he started a college or the former deli workers are playing Division 1 basketball.
