Any word on who is looking at Bates?
Re: Bates
Looking only in New England
Not interested:
Nescac HC
Endicott HC
Springfield HC
WNEC HC
MIT HC
Babson HC
CGA HC
Is interested:
Every other HC in New England
And every assistant coach at all of those places.
Nescac assistants
Ivy league assistants
Outside of New England.... crap shoot.

Re: Bates
This is pure speculation on my part, but curious if Jon Thompson will be pursuing this. He's in a different place in life than he was as Colby HC, has a couple years of separation from the debacle at Amherst. I believe his parents still live in Maine. Has had proven success in the NESCAC. Etc, erc...
He may be more than happy being a D1 assistant, but the NESCAC life certainly lends itself better to family.
This will be a very interesting group that applies to this job. Curious to see who lands.

Re: Bates
That would be an extraordinary hire, once the inevitable caterwauling that his name would elicit died down. I don’t think anyone is going to make Bates a powerhouse but he would do as well as can be done, fantastic coach and recruiter.

Re: Bates
I agree, that would be a great hire. But I wonder how Lasagna would feel about that - I have no sense of what kind of relationship he may have had with Thompson. I assume Lasagna will have input in the hire.
It’s possible that Thompson isn’t welcome back to the NESCAC ever again. I’m not saying I agree, I’m just saying all things considered it’s possible.

Re: Bates
I seriously doubt that would ever happen. Hasn’t Bates been sued by multiple coaches in the last 5 years? That’s a known thing in the coaching community - it’s going to dramatically hurt their candidate pool. Lasagna and Thompson are extremely close, so I’m confused by the let that happen reference.

Re: Bates
Given the way that JT left Amherst and the immediate aftermath there, he is not a candidate at Bates.
Add to that what is currently going on with the football program, he is not a candidate at Bates.
They will get a very good coach with a very good background who may or may not last for 15+ years like Coach Lasagna.
Bates will be just fine

Re: Bates
I 1st thought of him when looking at assistants. I imagine the committee will have their fair share of standing HCs in the mix.
