I totally agree with you - Tumolo would be a great choice. But it will be Spallina. And good luck to SB without him.

I disagree on both counts. Comparing Wagner to BC is like comparing apples and oranges. Kayla has more experience at the ACC level. And I have to be honest if Spallina comes I think some kids will leave. And does he bring any of his own players with him? Now Coach Defliese DID work with him at SB. So does she stay?

All the teams in the AE will be on level ground again.

Bart posted Pat McCabe's name on another thread. Longtime head coach at D2 power and champion Adelphi.

What about Kathy Taylor moving back to the Syracuse area from Colgate?

Good point. This would make the UNH opening a lot more compelling for an up and coming coach. She wouldn't have to worry about only playing for an at large bid. The auto qualifier would be a realistic path.

Didn’t Katrina move to Europe?

Funny I heard she was up there not long ago. Didn’t think twice
Also. Would Thorpe leave Pitt? Asst new program vs head coach at alma mater. Dream job? But would they offer

I am a big fan of them keeping Coach Defliese, if a program is successful and it isn’t a firing of the HC then why change what is working. That hire would provide the most consistency. Spallina would be the headline grabbing hire.

I wonder who Gary is supporting and if he will have any influence in the hiring process given he is still going to be at the school and working with the AD?

Dowd is in Europe, happy, having fun. She didn't like being a head coach at Oregon it seemed. I don't see her coming back to coaching outside of an assistant job and only if her personal life brings her back to an area with a lax program.

What took Thorpe to Pittsburgh? I thought that was a head scratching move when he went there.

So Phase 1 is official:

Good question

Article that mentions Spallina possibility.

This means something along those lines I’m guessing

Interesting… if Kayla Treanor had already turned the opportunity down then why would someone create this petition… it is also showing as created by Alyssa Murray.. I would have thought the two of them are still in contact as ex-teammates.

McCabe has been at Adelphi for seven years with 3 National Championships.

I don't see Kathy Taylor making that move. She just got to Colgate.

Interesting... it also only says to be signed by alums

Could this mean the reports of her turning down job are false?

I would not discount any one at this point. Question is. How soon will we know?

So lots of talk about Spallina no talk of who would replace him at Stony Brook any thoughts?
