To whomever said that Shawn Walsh is hockey's Jerry Tarkanian, that
seems just a LITTLE off base to me. I have been a completely neutral and
uninvolved observer of this story for the past years, and to me it seems
that if big-time football and B-ball were held to the standards applied to
the Maine hockey program quite a few schools would have their revenue
streams dry up overnight. Walsh may be guilty of misconduct, but the
offenses simply were not in the same league (or planet) with Tarkanian --
or Miami, or Alabama, or Southern Methodist for that matter. And in my
opinion they weren't enough to get him fired. And let's be honest. Walsh
has a lot of good and attractive qualities which Maine obviously did not
want (or should have) to lose.
