To the tune of 25% in 8 years, I don't think so.

UNH, but I do respect Parker, he is a credit to the sport.

His "attributes" certainly do.

I have never said that Shawn Walsh is a lousy coach.  One of the great
coaching decisions of all time is when he yanked Dunham in the '93 NCAA
championship game, inserted Snow as a "third" defenseman to negate Lake
State's forechecking. Plus, he is a master motivator.  Unfortunately, he
has no ethical foundation.
 
The real problem with all this, as I have stated many times before, is not
Shawn Walsh.  Guys like him show up in every profession.  It's the school's
response.  And as long as Walsh is there, IMHO, the issue is fair game.
