In response to Go Green
Both Assistant Coaches stated that their comments were solely their own and they do not know the current thinking of Coach H or the AD -- not within their pay grade. Has there been any discussion amongst the coaching staff? -- who knows for sure.
Both coaches did state that the Palestra, although grand, gives too much of a competitive advantage to the Quakers and the location was simply not "fair" to the other teams. I assume that the rise of the Quakers from the IL dumpster is a factor in their thinking.
Besides using the Patriot format (they talked about the excitement at Bucknell for the tournament final against Colgate), they also mentioned Mohegan Sun -- I believe.
At the end of the day, it will be interesting to see what the league decides upon but it really is not at all surprising that this topic might be a hot one. Reservations for Mohegan Sun may be made in the not too distant future.
