If Engles wins a few IL games and is generally competitive he will be back—Pilling will be told that Engles worked miracles after losing Meisner and Smith in having the team play competitive games. It would frankly take a Mangurian type catastrophe for Engles to be fired, and I don’t think that any of us want to see that type of season.

66 is already on record that there will be no firing. And 66 is certainly much closer to the inner circle of any decision to terminate than anyone else on this page- and I wouldn't want anyone terminated on the basis if wins and losses- certainly many, many coaches have lost games long before the present day coaches arrived at Morningside Heights.

Huh? Where did you get that I am close to the inner circle? I made a prediction, that's all. I do not know any coaches or any staff. The only thing I do know is the first rule of posting: on this, or any other board, you should never just make stuff up.

You're not one to make a casual prediction. You clearly wrote that as a person in the know. Your telling me what the rules are now cements my belief that you're at least a lot closer to the inner circle than most people, and it's certainly nothing for you to be ashamed of!

Your response to my suggestion that you stopping making stuff up is to double down, make more stuff up, and say I shouldn't be ashamed of the stuff you make up.

You are, I suppose, free to inhabit an alternate reality. The rest of us would benefit mightily if you would refrain from trying to export this alternate reality to the Columbia board.

Having a grandiose sense of entitlement must be a real problem for you. You lecture about transparency you expect from others; why not begin by identifying yourself? What are you afraid of? Tod Hawks would be a good example for you to follow- and it's never too late.

Entitlement? Just stop lying about my relationship to the coaching staff and mumbling about the need for "transparency" when you fail to do so.

If transparency is such a big deal to you, maybe you can start by explaining who you are, and who that other poster was who seemed to have the same name as you.

As for why people here want to maintain their anonymity, I can’t speak for cc66, but I suspect you are exactly why. I get the sense that you are the last person I would want to know anything about me.

But there's information that I've provided this site, while you've provided zero. If there's anything more that you're interested in knowing, I would direct you to the webmaster.

You mean the webmaster who has already suspended you for one week for exactly the kind of behavior you are once again engaged in?

Apparently, the punishment needs to be much longer in order to have the desired effect.

And that is where you should go if you need to know who cc66 or Some Guy is, rather than accusing people of hiding behind a screen name while you do the same thing (in fact, you appear to hide behind at least two, and quite possibly more).

I guess you're part of the inner circle here, too! Mazel tov.

Folks -

I am satisfied that the two users in question were different people. And while I'd love for everyone to be transparent about who they are on here, I'd rather maintain anonymity for those that want it to ensure that we don't lose a lot of the rich conversation that people feel comfortable having while anonymous.

That being said, anonymous or not, we all need to avoid personal attacks on here, please. Not asking for genteel civility in arguing points, just to avoid personal attacks that have nothing to do with the points people are making about Ivy League basketball. To the extent that happens moving forward, the admins here will suspend accounts for certain periods of time.

I just want to make sure that we maintain an environment around here where people want to post and participate.

If you have any questions/comments, shoot me a private message.

Thanks!
Mike

Chet:
If you're going to invoke Peter Mangurian's name in that sense, please note that Pete only lost ten consecutive Ivy League road games between 2012 and 2014; your man JE's already up to thirteen straight road league losses (but who's counting- certainly not the Spin Doctor.) He did, however, win in Ithaca two years ago; so let's see what happens Saturday (1:30pm, P.S.T.)- not that any of this matters in the least; as Insider'66 has been kind enough to share with us, JE's not going anywhere; no time soon enough, anyway............

If someone in the West tries to watch the BR game at 1:30 Saturaday....
It's been rescheduled to 10:30 AM PT, per both CUs announcements.

10:30am may actually work out well! The game vs. Iona, played at Madison Square Garden on December 9th and won by Columbia 74-71, tipped off at 11am.
