I have just finished reading the comments connecting Walsh and Crowder,
and I think its clear that Crowder was influenced in a great way
by Shawn Walsh.  However, there is another person in this mix:
Former UMaine assistant and current UML assistant Tim Whitehead.
Has anyone heard what his plans are?  Is UML likely to hire him
as their head coach?  I was hoping Crowder would return to Maine
after Walsh left (and if the media in Maine are correct, its a
matter of weeks), but I could see Maine hiring Whitehead.  He has ties
to the university, just as Crowder did.  There is also the fact
 
that Whitehead is a young coach who has tutored under two of the
top coaches in the country and might be looking to earn a name for
himself.  That sounds a lot like the last guy Maine hired as the
head coach.  And if memory serves, he was pretty successful for
a while.
