I agree. In a world where we are all guilty until proven innocent, Lehigh

had to, at the very least, suspend the hire until due process. Given the heated dialog regarding weapons these days, they just can't bring him on now. Might be a different scenario if he were already coaching there, but that is neither here nor there. There will be deserved legal consequences to this. My hope since it seems more dumb then reckless like you say is that it isn't more than a fine and some highway clean up

Unfortunate news about Sammy Sasso recently.
Wilmington Hokie • 07/28/25 08:21 AM ET
Update: most charges dropped & felony gun charge reduced
Wilmington Hokie • 07/31/25 07:51 AM ET
Lehigh should have waited to see how this all ended up before dropping
ChEHokie78 • 08/02/25 07:09 AM ET
I don't think so. If he were already on staff and been there awhile, they

ElbertoHokie • 08/04/25 10:36 AM ET
SERTC possibility?**
UpperQuad • 07/31/25 02:17 PM ET
Sasso wants to stay close to home.
hokieCT • 07/31/25 07:04 PM ET
Bring him to VT...we will take him.
VPIGUY • 07/29/25 01:36 PM ET
I don't think many wrestling fans would turn him down at any program
Hikinghokie • 07/30/25 09:09 AM ET
You have to play football or basketball to get away with those
GreenvilleVT • 07/31/25 02:13 PM ET
Could we not hire him for SERTC?
Mekhi4Mayor • 07/30/25 11:58 AM ET
The RTC is a separate org
Hikinghokie • 07/30/25 02:09 PM ET
Wait to hire him until Football starts and everyone is *****ing about that!
Mekhi4Mayor • 07/31/25 10:20 AM ET
Sasso was shot, not stabbed. I honestly can't blame the guy for carrying a
HokieToph • 07/28/25 10:13 AM ET
He had a legal CCW in Ohio but was no longer a resident since moving to PA.
Hokiemacho • 07/28/25 10:38 AM ET
He had *four* firearms and the THC all in an unregistered vehicle
Pylons • 07/28/25 07:12 PM ET
Does weed + firearms = automatic possession with intent to distribute?**
Baltimore Hokie • 07/31/25 02:37 PM ET
Wouldn't think so. I think that's just based on volume.
Pylons • 07/31/25 05:16 PM ET
Are the 3 firearms in the backpack even a crime in this case?
JoesterVT • 07/29/25 08:03 PM ET
From what I've seen medical weed isn't legal in his hometown and that part
donjfs3 • 07/29/25 08:12 PM ET
He should have kept his car registration up to date.
EDGEMAN • 07/29/25 05:20 AM ET
I would love to hear the scenario where protecting oneself with
Pylons • 07/29/25 10:16 AM ET
A new guy to the area, probably still sorting out housing and such?
JoesterVT • 07/29/25 08:09 PM ET
Here's a scenario
HokieToph • 07/29/25 11:40 AM ET
Agreed. Not as an answer for protection, but sure, any of that's possible.
Pylons • 07/29/25 11:48 AM ET
I agree. In a world where we are all guilty until proven innocent, Lehigh ◄
HokieToph • 07/29/25 02:52 PM ET
Had the same thought about "if he were already coaching."
Pylons • 07/29/25 04:33 PM ET
Was he moving into a new place in PA?
EDGEMAN • 07/29/25 10:27 AM ET
Possible, I suppose, but seems pretty doubtful
Pylons • 07/29/25 10:37 AM ET
It's a short article not a detailed police report.
Hokiemacho • 07/29/25 11:29 AM ET
Sure, but I would think if his side of the story

Being Arrested
SCA Hokie • 07/29/25 12:35 PM ET
Question for the ignorant.
Hokie Flyer • 07/29/25 02:34 PM ET
Gun laws
SCA Hokie • 07/29/25 10:45 PM ET
I'm not terrified of them or up in arms at their existence.
Pylons • 07/31/25 05:27 PM ET
"Need" is irrelevant to the hearing.
Hokiemacho • 08/01/25 11:14 AM ET
Obviously irrelevant to the hearing & I get choosing to have multiple guns.
Pylons • 08/06/25 01:02 PM ET
100%
SCA Hokie • 08/01/25 04:41 PM ET
He grew up in Nazareth I don't know if it's pure ignorance**
donjfs3 • 07/30/25 04:01 PM ET
Blacksburg
SCA Hokie • 07/30/25 06:38 PM ET
Ehh he spent 18 years there and presumably was living there temporarily
donjfs3 • 07/30/25 06:49 PM ET
Agreed
SCA Hokie • 07/31/25 11:18 AM ET
Federal law permits you to transport firearms when you move
JoesterVT • 07/29/25 08:20 PM ET
I don't think there are any states that require you to notify authorities.
Hokiemacho • 07/29/25 02:59 PM ET
Probably good to check the law in North Carolina.
EDGEMAN • 07/30/25 11:31 AM ET
Well, along with losing a great coaching job and having this on his record
