When will Union finally move beyond Barcomb?

Re: When will Union finally move beyond Barcomb?

Who could turn this program into a winning program? Remember the new coach can't give scholarships and will have a hard time getting players through admission. Seriously... WHO?

Well, Rick Bennett doesn't seem to have a problem despite the down year this season.

If Jim McLaughlin doesn't want to go to far out on a limb ( and clearly after 8 years, he doesn't), how about this: replace Assano with Julie Chu. She's aging off the US team, has been Union Assistant Coach, might want a stable couple of years, AND hire her a quality Assistant Coach.

I have no idea how Julie would do as a head coach. She has a great personality and obviously knows the game but that doesn't necessarily translate into an effective head coach.

Has anyone considered that perhaps the Union AD just doesn't care about women's hockey? The men have had tremendous success so it can't be the sport. They both play under the same academic restrictions. Maybe women's hockey just isn't a priority. At Harvard, men's b-ball is all the rage and admissions does all it can to support Amaker at the expense of our men's hockey team. The results are telling.
