Re: Boston University 2010-11 part II - The Hunt For Red November
ok. can't finish January with a losing record this month. i wouldn't have taken that bet on Dec 31st. gotta be a little happy with that.
also, first win giving up 3 or more goals since the NU win on 12/8. offense is nice too (with KM playing well in net...). seems like the boys are being outshot every game.

And you are a D1 Athletic Director? It doesn't really matter what we all think the job description should say.
As for the locker, yeah, if there was no communication whatsoever, then that is a pretty dramatic step. Whether it is a cop movie or a sports movie you frequently hear the "clear out your locker" line. I can remember our HS football coach using that as the challenge to the team "if you don't like it, clear out your locker and quit". I have a friend who is a D1 head coach in another sport, I'll ask him what he thinks about the locker thing. I will say that I won't be surprised if we find out that previously Parker had told him that one more occurrence and he was off the team, or something to that effect.
The locker is the property of the school and I don't think it is unprofessional to clean it out if you have decided the player is off the team. They aren't allowed in the locker room if they aren't on the team so their stuff shouldn't be in there. I could hear the whining if he made the player go in there in front of his teammates and clear out his locker. It is absolutely not unusual for a company to tell a dismissed employee that they will clear the desk/office, collect the personal effects and either deliver them or make them available through HR. Once you are terminated for cause, you have no right to return to the desk and the company has the obligation to protect its current employees and also not allow unauthorized people to enter the workplace. In some situations the person is escorted to the desk but that often brings claims of being intentionally embarrassing. And no, it is not incumbent on the team or a company to make the workplace available off hours so the person can retrieve their stuff.
If Glass had no idea he was on thin ice, had no previous issues and had never been given any feedback to straighten up, then it would be a gross over-reaction. If, at the end of this we hear that is the case I will absolutely say Parker's action was not proportionate. However, I think we all know that wasn't the case.

I told Parker I talked to Glass and his dad and I read him a lot of what they said and gave him a chance to respond. He chose not to and fully understood that was going to make the story one-sided.

Re: Boston University 2010-11 part II - The Hunt For Red November
Excellent work. I could say you have too much free time, but in this case it was spent wisely.
And because there will inevitably be some who won't get it, follow along.

I don't think you have to be an Athletic Director to know what is professional and what isn't. You don't need to be a cop to realize that rape is wrong...right?
Good we can at least agree on that.

Isn't the real question.. where is the stuff from his locker? How much of the stuff in that locker was personally owned by Glass? Did they put a bag in his dorm room? Is it in the trash?

Re: Boston University 2010-11 part II - The Hunt For Red November
I have to say that I thought of the wussification of America when I read this. It used to be parents wanted their kids to play for a tough/hard-nosed/tough disciplinarian. And if their son got kicked off the team, he got dope slapped for screwing up a great opportunity. And too many former players speak highly of their BU experience for me to believe he's a liability. Sorry. And one incident, of which we only have one side of the story, isn't going to deep-six the program.
BU Hockey: Perspective
PS: Nice win last night. I think this team is gaining confidence. Oh, and if the team "hates their coach" (to be said like Tom Jackson) wouldn't they be phoning it in at this point?

And subsequently not responding to him when he calls a timeout and calms them down when they've given up three goals in 75 seconds and the toughest venue in the conference is going bonkers. It's laughable to think Parker's lost these guys because of an isolated incident with Glass where we have incomplete information, and because he kicked a guy off the team for missing bike rides that were a punishment for previous bad behavior. That's getting rid of a cancer on the team.

ok then. 12-7-7 is workable. no reason the boys can not finish the regular season here with a 9-1-0 run. i mean, really.. playing average they should go 9-1-0

2-2-1 for the key five. I'll take it.

And we really only played woefully bad hockey for about 2 to 2.5 periods in that stretch. 4 of 5 on the road not bad. Certainly in a position where we can win our way into the tournament without needing to run deep into the he tourney. Ball is in our court.

Like what?
My God, you are relentless. Keep up the good fight...
One incident? I'll also page Tom Jackson and say COME ON MAN
LOL at incomplete information. The information is complete. Parker had a chance to respond (if he wanted to) and didn't refute anything that was said. It's just a question of if you believe Glass' account. Incidents, not incident, but ya, I don't think Parker has lost the team. I thought people were really talking about the impact it might have on recruiting?
The funny thing is, while I think BC fans did post on that, I got the impression it was a lot of BU fans.
