well he WAS our coach for about an hour on the internet

i'll stand by the narrative that Whit more or less offered him (while still at UMBC), before CMY, and was rebuffed. I think it was a Saturday afternoon when TSL exploded that he was our new coach, forcing UMBC to issue a statement denying it.

Vippie1 • 02/19/26 05:39 PM ET
I don't think he really went into it with a pure No. 1.

More smarts? LMAO. More cash makes a HC seem smarter with better players.**
ancient alien 2018 • 02/18/26 10:02 PM ET
Wonder if a little more cash to Lawal, he doesn't commit that game-losing

They took DeRider, we took Dorn
vtchem75 • 02/18/26 10:18 PM ET
No, again, more money to spend.It's really not a difficult concept to grasp
ancient alien 2018 • 02/19/26 03:23 AM ET
