Harring Resigns as Head Coach - UMass Lowell Athletics (goriverhawks.com)

This definitely sounds like a "resignation."

As Pat said during the season, maybe it was time anyway. The baseball program should be doing a lot better than they have the past few years.

[Patman]

Keep in mind when I consider canning a coach I am not one who thinks a bad few years should do it. All else being equal we should be one of the better programs except for Maine with its history and Binghamton with its 40 million dollar temple to baseball. We haven't been. It's been over a decade. Balance of situation and circumstance.

When you add this other stuff it does not help.

I'm pleased with the coaching changes this offseason. The program needed some type of change, and now I have some hope that the new coaches can improve the offense, PP, or maybe even recruiting. I'd be happy with just one of those things getting better.

The question is going to be ... where are the goals coming from?

Men's basketball released their schedule, and will be playing 16 of their 28 regular season games on the road. And two of the home games are against Rivier and Fisher. Blech.

Why do they schedule D3 teams? Is it just to pad their schedule with automatic wins?

Why do they schedule D3 teams? Is it just to pad their schedule with automatic wins?

auto win, extra home game, time to tune up, etc. We aren't the worst by far, Vermont and Maine are usually far worse scheduling multiple in a season. The HBCUs and some of the far weaker sisters in college basketball will also schedule a lot of them. Some of it to pad the numbers.

It's just crazy after they beat one of the teams by 60 points that the coach talks about a great win.
