Am I right in thinking that York has something like 75 more losses that Parker? (How could that be given that York has been coaching just one more year?) And is Dick Umile ahead of them both in win percentage?

Quoting myself here. I checked the Wiki and as of 2010, the numbers were:

York 850 539 92 (.605)
Parker 834 429 104 (.648)
Umile 460 236 78 (.650)

I don't know if that was at the end of 2009-2010 or midseason. In any case, the 100+ loss delta is big. It can't be an ECAC difference, because HE was formed just a few years after York left Clarkson. Bowling Green must have been playing every other night.

Oh I totally agree. Like I said, I think that part is an overreaction to the loss on Monday.

Nick I think the traffic on here about where the program is headed was legitimately timed with the Harvard loss not as an over reaction to the loss but a milestone. It had been 30 years since BU had lost 2 Beanpots game, thats astounding. It was a good time to reflect over the past 10-12-30 years and where the next 10 was going. BU always atleast had the Beanpot which was always joked about. But you see that even eroding now (like everything in the BC comparison) with BC taking 3 out of 4 and taking out BU each time in one of the rounds. Remember those bad BU teams that beat the great BC teams in the Beanpot the last 10 or so years, thats not happening anymore. The last time BU beat BC in the Beanpot was 2007, not that the tournament means much but its symbolic at least as to whats been happening. I also think alot on the Board who think of BU being so "successful" the last 10 years think that way atleast partially becaus they put so much stock and glory in those Beanpot championships.

I don't remember seeing a single person argue in comparing BU's achievements this decade anything related to the Beanpot.
 
Anyonegoing to the game on the b line beware there's an accident on comkm ave and the train is shut down from blandford to babcock

Hope macgregor gets to play and #5 sits. Awful game tonight. If sec 8 was still here they'd be chanting "go to Boston". He needs to get his head straight, fast.
 
Re: Boston University 2010-11 Part III - Is That So Much To Ask?

Saw a segment on Parker on DTV 613 tonight; what year did Parker become Exec AD? He said he spends maybe 40% of his time on hockey practice/games. I suspect that is probably a lower % than most and it puts a lot of pressure on his coaches. Any chance the inclusion of other duties coincides with BU's slide into average-ness?

April 2002. Interesting theory. I find that 40% hard to believe, unless he's talking about 40% of his total time (as in 40% of every 24 hours). I don't think he spends 60% of his working time on other athletic department business. Seems to me that he still spends most of his time on campus focusing on hockey.
 
Re: Boston University 2010-11 Part III - Is That So Much To Ask?

Well...

Team came out and looked very strong. Could have easily gotten up 3-0 but hit a couple posts. Chiasson and Nieto looked great. Trivino seemed to be moving his feet and had some nice passes.

Coyle and Warsofsky continue to disappoint. Warsofsky had a terrible, terrible pinch at the end in the game that resulted in the PC goal that made it too close for comfort.

Coyle had a great shift at the end of the game to draw a penalty and a few flashes of brilliance, but for the most part, looked like he was skating in slush.

Is it me or was he faster in the early season?

Team looked really poised and in control at times but had a few bad breakdowns that left Millan scrambling.

Mixed bag I guess. Could have won 4-0, could have lost 3-1...but they won and that's all that matters.

JUST WIN BABY!
 
Re: Boston University 2010-11 Part III - Is That So Much To Ask?

If anyone thinks Coyle is close to being ready to leave, think again. He needs a couple more years and will be a very, very good player at BU. Parker will get him on same page with team and leaving would kill his growth. Right now, he tries to do way to much and does not move the puck. Not one of their top F's right now but obviously will be.
DW is ina mild slump, still looked fine out there and will bounce back. People get spoiled at watching his level and an average game looks off. Will play well tonight
 
Re: Boston University 2010-11 Part III - Is That So Much To Ask?

notwithstanding wodon's genius :rolleyes:

bu wins last night.
and
rpi, western, bucky, dartmouth all lost - and all still remain in their spots above #17 bu.

so sure adam, if bu keeps winning and all the teams above them lose all their remaining games, bu will get in...;)
but i am going to guess that they win some of those games.. :p

I'm hoping they can ride that genius all the way to a tourney berth!

But seriously...I wonder if he was assuming that (I know what happens to you and me when he does that) BU would more or less win out, and then make their real move in the pairwise in the HE playoffs. You guys are smarter than me on this, but if they were to go 4-1 the rest of the way and then meet and beat say Maine in the quarters for two games...would that move them up? Maine's 21 in the pairwise now.

If not...moving on further...if they could grab a semifinal win against any of the top 3 HE teams...would that get them in?

While I wouldn't bet my small bank account on it...that's not terribly unreasonable right?
 
Re: Boston University 2010-11 Part III - Is That So Much To Ask?

They are extremely close to turning one pair, something like .0003 rpi.

From a quick glance, part of BU's problem is a somewhat poor TUC record. Considering the rest of the schedule, BU can't address that until the Hockey East tournament.

He probablly meant that he spends the other 60% of his time on hockey related issues (but not practice or games)... recruiting, fundraising, dealing with media, parents off ice issues etc etc... that ratio is probablly about right for most head coaches who all have to handle a lot of other things outside of practices and games.

It also included budgets for all sports, updates on other sports, hiring staff etc...it still is a drain on his time and energy

Way too hard to tell right now, especially with the new TUC rules where a team with a .500 RPI is a TUC, so the number of TUCs is incredibly fluid and can change every gameday. I don't believe we're in a position right now where we can only get in via the autobid. We have 7 more guaranteed games, making it to the Garden might do it, depending on who we would play in the QF's, and a win at the Garden, assuming it's against a TUC probably should put us over the top, but it's very difficult to tell at this point. Point is, gotta win now.

Maybe yeah... Most head coaches of varsity programs spend ungodly ammounts of time doing things related to the program apart from practice and games. Doesn't matter what sport .. That's all I was saying.
