Of course our poor excuse for a local paper, the Press-Republican hasn't had the story yet. Thank goodness for USCHO

Not to overly defend the Press-Republican (which just did away with unlimited free online articles), but I suspect until Plattsburgh's SID (Stephanie Dutton) releases something, they wont either.

Mike Coppola (UConn '10) has been named assistant coach at Plattsburgh State. Coppola, a Long Island native, played 4 years for the Huskies and captained the team as a senior. He has been coaching the New York Bobcats for the past couple of seasons. Prior to that he served a year as an assistant at UConn. Coppola is 31.

Does he get the nickname "Godfather"?

Awesome. Hopefully he is an offensive guy.

Re: Moffat takes Castleton job

Cards are very close to officially naming Moffat's replacement. Matter of paperwork now. Should announce tonight or tomorrow.

Are the initials JK?

The last thing I would worry about in this instance is even the appearance of impropriety. Emery - like him or not - and his program have always behaved at the highest possible ethical standards.

Very true.

I personally have never had any problem with him. He'll always take a moment to speak (if he has any, it is understandable that he has few available on game nights).

(in fact, he usually shakes my hand )

Re: Moffat takes Castleton job

I think the first year after an assistant leaves, he is obligated to ask if his former team has any interest in certain players he's looked at. After that, you're on your own. That's just a guess on my part on how it goes. Moffat and Emery have been great friends for years so I don't think there's a chance of anything shady.

Re: Moffat takes Castleton job

Nah. That topic was beaten to death when the I ended.

However, back on topic -- for those in the know, how does recruiting go when the coach moves from school A to school B? Is there a gentlemen's agreement not to poach?

Ask John Lyly

Re: Moffat takes Castleton job

Good for Moffat and good luck. I'll be very curious to see if he brings the disciplined, strong defensive style in with him? I have a feeling it will be exciting to watch this program further develop...they have some decent players coming back.
