Re: I will say this, if we didn't have Jerry York
Ok...I happpen to like Coach Skinner. I think he did a pretty good job. But in my comparison, whatever BC basketball did pales in comparison to what BC hockey has done. The basketball team has not won a national championship.
That's the basis of my comparison. If I hurt feelings by calling the basketball team "mediocre", excuse my poor choice of words. You're right, they've had some pretty good teams. But York's hockey teams have been better.

Here's a little more...ironic timing.

Interesting parallels
Jerry got the Clarkson head coach job in 1972-73 when he was 27. 4 years later he has the #1 team in the nation. He can recruit and he can teach. Plus he wasn't that bad a tennis coach either!

York is like college hockey's version of Bill Belichick (post season success, etc) and Blasi reminds me of Josh McDaniel (young gun, rising star)

Don't insult York drawing comparisons to Belichick, especially with that "etc."

from a pure job performance perspective only and i assume this is what you meant because in anything else in life they are NOTHING alike. York is a prince and the other guy is a scum bag, IMO. piece of dirt

Drawing a football analogy with postseason performance, it's not a bad one. Both are thought to be amongst the best all-time compared with their peers.

Except unlike McDaniel and Belichik, Blasi is a George Gwozdecky protege, not Jerry York's.

There's no guy I'd want coaching my alma mater's hockey team than York and no coach I'd want coaching my football team than Belichick.

Re: I will say this, if we didn't have Jerry York
And anything the football team has done pales in comparison with the accomplishments of the sailing team. Time to stop putting money into Alumni Stadium and build a new sailing facility!!!!
Look, I love hockey and wouldn't even mind rooting for a one-trick pony school if the one trick was hockey. That said, BC basketball probably brings in more money and publicity in a .500 year than BU hockey did by winning the national championship last year.

Re: I will say this, if we didn't have Jerry York
The sad truth is that no one cares about hockey, let alone college hockey.
Put it this way. Commercials on NCAA bouncyball are more expensive than any other sporting event save the Super Bowl. Wachovia pays UNC $1m a year to put their logo on a courtside table. KU earned $2.5m just on licensing revenue following their recent championship. And that's nothing compared to football - Texas football turned a $65m profit last year.
Just remember this - the cost of one courtside ad at UNC (for the season) s about the same amount of profit the NCAA makes on the Frozen Four.

Re: I will say this, if we didn't have Jerry York
Obviously, Rico and Jerry, among others, know how to coach the high end talent they have. You don't consistently get to the level they get their teams to each year without the horses.
Give these coaches mid level talent and they will probably get them to play above their heads and be competitive with anyone, but to consistently be in the hunt for a National Championship, you've go to have high end talent.
I think it's a combination of the arena, school and coach. No doubt the new arena helped Miami attract better quality players to the school. Building the new arena shows the commitment from the university. Then you need the coaching staff to sign, seal and deliver the better recruits. The coaching staff must also know what to do with those thoroughbreds.

When was the last time Miami of Ohio was in the top 10 for football.
Their last NCAA win in basketball? Wally World?

Re: I will say this, if we didn't have Jerry York
i cringe reading York and bellicheat in the same sentence.
Sneddon is always a name i think of when someone asks if BU would look at a non-BU guy once Jack takes full time naps. i'd also think that he tries to win his way with the guys he has to bring in. if he was given the 'hand of God' job at bc and was able to pick and choose which high talent smurfs he wanted, there is no way he would trap.
(though whether then he would be able to win or not, your guess is as good as mine.) Jerry is certainly in a small group who fits the- "He can take his'n and beat you'n, and he can take your'n and beat his'n."

Re: I will say this, if we didn't have Jerry York
Ben's senior year Miami (13-1) was 10th in one poll and, I believe 11 in the other. Was that like 2003? '99 was the last b ball NCAA win.
This came out today, by the way:
