Met up with an App legend last night for a refreshment.The guy is a Hall of Famer and I respect his viewpoint. He thinks this is the most athletic and talented team we have ever fielded , at least in his time of five plus decades .I couldn't disagree with him , top to bottom, I think he's right. That's what frustrates me , anyway the won-loss record absolutely has him baffled. "We keep fining a way to lose" He defended Coach Fox but admits that the record speaks for itself. Thinks he will get another year but agrees that short of a winning record next year and strong conference showing , we part ways.

What do you think hapapp... does Fox get the fifth year or is four enough?
I think he gets his fifth year if for no other reason the finances of the matter.

I think Fox's February record will determine his future. 0-1 so far.

If he doesn't win another game this season, it's over. Beyond that, it depends.

I want to give Fox his full five, although I am quite frustrated at this point in time. I'm wondering if the proposed free transfer rule change might force our hand to make a coaching change this year. We don't want to run the risk of having our next coach come in having to stock a totally empty cupboard should that proposed rule change get passed.

AppinVa, what does the "free transfer rule" mean? Does it mean a player would not have to sit out a year when one transfers from another D-1 school?

Yep.

Yep.
That only applies if the coach leaves school A for school B and the athlete transfers to any school but school B. Face it, most athletes that transfer go to school because of the coach not the school.

Instead of 350 choices which to transfer, an athlete would have 349. I feel better.

It boils down to the fact that we are a poor shooting team. We do a lot of other things better than we use to, which has kept us in a lot of games, but we can’t consistently close because we can’t shoot.
