I'm sure in light of this, La Salle will restrict Stephen T. Zarrilli's financial "expertise" to the purchasing of popcorn for the concession stand.

IMO, the current administration has given us plenty of transparency and honesty with other issues, That may be true, but generally over the years, La Salle has taken a "It's none of your business" attitude toward students and alumni when they formulate their stupid decisions.

“You bargained with me like a shyster lawyer. You ate every steak we bought, you made us give you a four-year, no-cut scholarship……never once did you ever ask to have your character molded.”
- Coach Moreland Smith to college basketball player Henry Steele in the movie “One on One”
It’s an equal exchange, the school gets the revenue from the team/program; the players are far from “cheated”……they get a degree, exposure to scouts that they wouldn’t get on their own, probably their athletic skill gets them over any academic obstacle that would prevent them from getting in, in the first place. They use whatever leverage they have to squeeze what they can out of a university. Sitting out a year after they’ve collected what they have from the original school is not too much to ask – there’s no halo over their heads, either.

Terrible idea. The prospect of sitting out a year makes them ask themselves, "Are things REALLY so bad here that I need to transfer?"

Sounds like a "memorable A10 WBB season," alright.

Another idiotic decision by La Salle. Disappointing.

La Salle ought to put the ball in the freezer - that's their best chance against Villanova. Slowing the game down will frustrate Villanova's high-octane players who want to run and push the ball down the court. Trying to keep up with them straight-up will be suicide.

Nice article. I hope G can get him some minutes. I would certainly expect so! It shouldn't take an effort on Giannini's part......they scheduled the damn games for his benefit. Those folks aren't coming out to watch him sit the bench.

One bid? At this point, you'd have to think so. That of course could change over the course of the season (maybe some teams take longer to get it together), but right now, it seems accurate.

I agree, "What I don't see in this team" is the ability to perform at yesterday's level throughout the schedule.

I hope you're going because you're curious about the country and want to see it........NOT for the basketball.

Maybe we can keep this tournament a secret from the rest of the college basketball world since it looked like almost no one attended this "event." The organizers have to be saying to themselves, "What the hell were we thinking hosting something like this and inviting a program like La Salle?"

Disappointing game. They could be in real trouble today against BC.

That's terrible news! He had the same injury last year. A lot of times that means it'll take longer to heal and sometimes it means it's more likely to happen again sometime in the future.

I never said that the Penn game was supposed to be a "crushing." I said there IS such a thing as a bad win.

Being positive is one thing, not facing reality is another.

No such thing as a bad win.... Yeah there is.......when you're supposed to crush someone, but you barely win.............that's a bad win.

I would like to think they're going to be more competitive this year, but probably not.

That's great, but I just wish the Atlantic 10 would sign a regular television contract without getting cute with "Facebook" broadcasts and stuff like that. It's not a bad college basketball league and has regional appeal.
