Message: [QUOTE="msf22b, post: 3330064, member: 656"] It's informative comparing the reaction to early season struggles on both the UConn and ND boards. UConn has won all its game...ok in less than overpowering or artistic fashion; ND has lost two in a row against somewhat better competition. Obviously negativity is present in Storrs as in South Bend...but I find a touch more optimism with regard this season's prospects on ND's board than on the BY. Not quantified, just an observation. One area of discussion that differs is the element of recruiting...there is much more concern on the Irish board (as well they might having lost their most important recruiter, perhaps, even the heart and soul of the coaching staff) I still feel the loss of Marissa in the development of [U]our[/U] bigs. A little anecdote in this regard: After I had done my thing in the NY music biz, I volunteered to teach in the South Bronx and had an important education in management...The 2nd school to which I was assigned had a decent reputation and was even succeeding in graduating prepared students. The principal was the front person and appeared assured and effective...The 2nd in command was not one of the two AP's but actually the union boss (seemingly a conflict) who spent much of his day in her office running things. He retired that Spring and everything went into a nosedive...the principal was forced out in 2 years and her replacement was worse and the school was closed and reorganized. This had been one of The best schools in the Bronx...was now unrecognizable. [/QUOTE]
