I am definitely not a Shakespeare expert, but I do remember this from my high school days and something maybe coach Marion should reflect on: “Pride comes before the fall” and or “Arrogance is the camouflage for insecurity” anyway, we will soon see how this plays out. Good luck to sac going forward.

I tried to commit a pledge but the website said “bad address” what was that all about?

I recall many years ago when the kings first came to sac. That Bibby and his wife were looking to buy a home in davis. Yes! Then suddenly it disappeared. I suspected the bee and the new king’s management said “absolutely no to that” and that was the end to that. Just an interesting little thing from the past. I think the DE actually did a column on this. Oh well, who at this plot really cares except us boring people. Always liked Bibby"…..

So lights on the soccer field as well?

Wow! A university student bathroom renovation becomes national news? Cant believe this is happening.

I am sure he is feeling the squeeze even without talking to Rocko. My only question is does he have it in him to carry on.I would think Rocko would go easy on him for one more year but who would enjoy the incredible pressure? I doubt he needs the money……. But who knows? Very proud likable guy.

They look way too ready than we are. But I do believe that times can change. But it will take a lot of effort to get there. Our staff will have to work really hard to get there. Les is still a young coach. Can he do it?

This article is very complimentary of Olens aggressive recruiting tactics as well. Unless we and other BW teams can really improve their recruiting performances, UCSD will dominate this league for a long time. Don’t know if Les and the other BW coaches are up to the challenge.

I think the look by the triton coach to Les was more “I didn’t coach that shot!” Than anything else. I think Les has said he is a good guy and a very good coach.

Just a quick question here. Does our MBB/WBB programs have comparable budgets to other BWC programs?

Wow. They should be unbeatable.

Recruiting is like getting your ingredients together for a meal. And it is good to get the best you can. But any good chef will tell you it is how you put them all together for the best meal is what actually matters. I don’t think there are any rankings out there that judge that part of the equation. I am fairly confident that we have a good staff in place to handle this situation well . but all in all, a very good bunch of recruits for our coaches to work with next season.

I agree with BGA for the most part. I do think that Les and his ACs are very good coaches. But Les’s style of play necessitates succeeding in the very difficult job of recruiting exceptional three point shooters or at least good outside shooters. I believe Les is rightly recognized as a “guards coach” and not as a big man coach. So when he has got excellent outside shooting going fo him Les’s teams are very fun to watch. If not… well not so fun. There is nothing more depressing for an Aggie fan than to see shot after shot from the three point range clang off the rim into the hands of the opposing big guy. And to make it worse bad outside shooting is contagious as the players press harder to try and make these difficult shots go in the basket. So this season we really have only TY who is a consistent three point shooter and even he has been off lately. All this makes for a reason not to go to an Aggie MBB game. Aggie WBB that is another thing. Much more fun to watch!

I know someone explained this before, but I really don’t get what a PWO actually is? Can someone please explain?

Interesting side story. We have family in Hawaii who work on the agriculture area (kona coffee farm) and they have sent their kids to Davis for years. They are mostly in the big island so don’t get to go to many Hawaii games, but they are definitely Aggie fans.

A former Post makes reference to Linda Katehi and (to my reading) may allude to the famous “pepper spray incident” being a result of her poor decisions as chancellor. Just for the record and in fairness to katehi we should keep in mind that she was never alleged to have “ordered the spraying of pepper spray” it just happened on her watch so she was rather charged as a NEGLIGENT SUPERVISOR of the davis cops who pulled out the pepper spray. Big difference! I know, too long ago and maybe irrelevant now, but the poor woman still deserves respect and accuracy over this one of the most sordid and bad memory events in UC Davis history.

Maybe the new University Mall will have place for this new business just like the old Graduate!

I personally loved RG and maybe he was under funded I don’t know. But my point was to make him an example of how a positional coach sometimes falters as a HC in college coaching. I’d say he’s doing quite well at the Rams. So no criticism of him as a coach or as a person.

I certainly hope that their new coach succeeds. We had a similar HC hire 10 or so years ago and it did not go well for us at all. Hiring a HC with no prior HC experience is a bit of a crap shoot, but we have been OK with it in the past. In fact I believe that Hawk was the only hire we made that did have prior experience as a head coach. So good luck to sac. Hope he works out and sticks around.
