Message: [QUOTE="EricLA, post: 4858872, member: 26"] Yeah Geno is getting raked over the coals in this one. Park-Lane was at Seton Hall 4 years and transferred out for her graduate year. Strength and conditioning coach Kathi Jones - “Keep my PGs name out your mouth,” Jones tweeted. “She transferred as a grad transfer. Last I checked, dedicating 4 years of your eligibility to a university is a completion of the agreed upon commitment. She wants to compete for championships not a paycheck.” “To say I left my 4 year university for money is reckless,” Park-Lane tweeted. Head Coach Sam Purcell was more diplomatic: “Geno is a legend in the game. I got a chance late in the night to listen to it and, you know what, a lot of the comments he made were actually right. The problem was at the end of the assumption was the reference to Seton Hall. The assumption that it was a reference to her and there were several players that left so we don’t know if he was thinking of her,” Purcell said. “Everybody is talking about the negative in those statements, but I’m upset that no one is talking about what makes (Park-Lane) so special and good. Lauren Park-Lane defines what’s great about college athletics. This is a young lady that graduated from Seton Hall in four years.” In hindsight, Geno probably should have just made his comments, and then NOT used any specific examples. [/QUOTE]
