In response to rbg
Agreed, this, along with Dingle, is not a good look for Donahue. Unless his contract is over after this season, I don’t expect a newish President and a newish Athletic Director to tackle this problem absent a strong push from the most influential alumni or important financial boosters. This is especially true because he has won once and been to the Ivy tourney every year. Neither the President nor the AD is an alum or appears to have any particular background in Penn hoops that would cause me to believe that on their own they would be ready to push Donahue out. Moreover, the optimist in me says, as I did with Dingle, there can be addition by subtraction. We have an excellent freshman class ( unproven but with loads of potential based on their bios), which makes us at least two deep at all five positions. With two heavy hitters gone, now, finally, there is daylight for fierce completion for meaningful playing time. This could make us more competitive than we otherwise might have been by the time the Ivy season begins. If good upper class leadership remains, we have the tools to be good or very good. If the latter, this will be to the coaching staff’s credit. If not, let the wolves howl.
