I'm surprised he'd take the position. Did a fine job reviving a program left a mess by the previous coach, endured the death of a player during the season and righted the team... Don't see what UMass has to offer.

Better conference

And the Pioneer Valley is a fine place to call home.

Pioneer Valley IS lovely... but seems to me UMass doesn't have a stellar history of supporting women's basketball... I'm sure he knows what he's doing... but...
