Hey money - I meant it took too long I think, because I wanted him gone yesterday. In fact I would have had the locks changed by this morning.
Getting philosophizer mode here for sec, I have always subscribed to the simple concept that everything happens for a reason.
There were many reasons to argue back and forth and present valid and compelling arguments for retaining and getting rid of Pasqualoni over the past 2 and a quarter seasons. But they way things turned out, with the Michigan game and then this Buffalo game on the road, it was proof positive that the time had come to drop the hammer. The players made it crystal clear with their performances in back to back weeks, with the match ups that presented themselves on the schedule, that the coaching staff was done.
While I was wallowing yesterday in what possible reasons that Pasqualoni was still caoching, I let doubt creep in about the management of the university. it never occurred to me, that waiting until today, and not doing in this in the shadow of what USC did on the left coast, and putting together a publicity thing with this now, making it very clear that UCONN is about winning, it was probably smarter to wait and do this like this, and not yesterday.
