OT: St. Bonnie’s Mark Schmidt to UMass? (… or Not)

If so, this is a good hire for UMass.

 

[Pudge]

Nothing splashy ... but clearly a very very solid basketball coach. He will do well in Amherst.

 

[UconnU]

Good time for Schmidt to get out. His 5 starters who all play 40 minutes are all graduating.

 

[Huskyforlife]

Probably a good hire, but the Bonnies fell well short of expectations this year with many talented seniors on the roster. He might need a fresh start more than anything.

 

[Storrs South]

That's a fake reporter, but given how long it's taken UMass to make a hire it probably is accurate and they are just waiting for the season to end for the Bonnies

 

[TRest]

Gonna have to wait a while longer

 

[metsfan2323]

Great low risk hire for UMASS if true.

 

[WrenchFan69]

Would be very funny if Schmidt went to UMass and someone hired Earl Grant away from BC

 

[storrsroars]

Don't recall seeing many lateral moves like this, especially among mid-majors. Schmidt turns 60 next season. Just don't think this hire moves their needle.

Saw the umass board mention that URI hired Jim Baron away from the Bonnie’s in the past.

Poor Blaud:

[Mr. French]

This makes zero sense, in every way.

 

[huskymedic]

Hiccup…

 

[TRest]

Clearly Blauds was lost without an editor (and copy editor) at the globe.

 

[navery12]

Is UMass even a better job than St. Bonaventure?

 

[BigErnMcCracken]

Nice win for the Bonnies over UVa tonight. Is Schmidt a better coach than Bennett? Some say so.

 

[auror]

Hiccup…

Yeah... Bruiser had head coaching experience... at UMass. It ended poorly.

This is a solid, if not flashy higher. A decent UMass is good for Connecticut. I hope it works out for them. I wouldn’t mind having annual games in football, hockey, and basketball. That’s some thing that could eventually grow into a pretty decent rivalry.

Slow news night when we are covering a coach that might leave St. Bonaventure for UMass.

Except for Calipari's run there 25 years ago, UMass has been an irrelevant program.

Don't think it matters at all for us whether UMass is relevant or not.

Bennetts personality lost them that game
