Before you go and rip UAA's decision to hire Talafous, might you take a
look at his credentials. He's guided his team to the NCAA Final Four the
past four seasons, including a national championship in 1994. He has
legitimate hockey experience at all level (NHL, NCAA Div. I, etc..) and yet
Bryan thinks this is the poorest choice UAA could have made.
 
I'd be thankful if I was at Stout that you won't have to face him next
year. Don't be surprised to see UAA make huge strides down the road. It
wasn't always glory days at UW-RF. His second and third seasons were a
combined 12-35-2.
 
The poorest choice...I think not.
