OT: Hartford to DIII

[HuskyNan]

And Scott Rueck went from D3 to Oregon St. And several other successful D3 coaches have gotten D1 jobs. Again, this is not about D3. It is about a programming DOWNGRADING.

Having your job go from D1 to D3 is not good for anyone's career. And as I said, coaching a D1 program that's downgrading is going to be an awful experience.

Kind of an “eye of the beholder“ thing, IMO. You clearly think it’s a terrible downgrade but others might not. I don’t know that you’ll change many opinions to match your own

Lol . Only on the boneyard could there be an argument about whether dropping from D1 to d3 is a job demotion or not.

Good article with some insight on player (at least one) feelings about going from D1 to D3 and alot of respect and understanding for Valley leaving

“I was super-happy and thrilled for her (Valley),” Lee said. “UConn is UConn and it’s huge to be able to coach there. The hard part is that I think she was building something really good here. But she’s an amazing coach and person and a great role model. While it’s tough she won’t be here at Hartford, she’s still around and will still be a part of my life.”

Hartford to D3 again!!! What goes around.... Really good men's hoops team, under Gordie McCullough, in the late 60's-70's. Our greatest win at Eastern in the early 70's was our victory over the Hawks in 1973. We even made WTIC's big board during their sports broadcast. That was a real big deal. A thousand fans would attend these games...a real bang for no $.
