I'm a new subscriber and have been following the list for a few weeks now. My primary interest is in Hockey East but have found the info coming from other corners of the college hockey world expanding my horizons. I was also glad to finally see something today re: the vacancy at PC since most winter weekends you'll find my fanny at Schneider Arena one night or the other, and I had yet to see anything on this particular subject. Thanks Ron and Mike. My two cents: I was told weeks before Mike McShane announced his "resignation" that the Friars were pursuing Tim Army very seriously, but that despite his ties to the area (being from E. Providence,) it was not likely to happen because of the big difference in $$$$$. (Life in the NHL does have its benefits.) I never heard any other candidates name mentioned although Kurt Kleinendorst's should have been. If Lou Lamoriello does have any input - and he might since he still stops in at PC from time to time, Kurt could have got a mention, being one of the cornerstone's of the team during the Lamoriello era. As far as Steve Stirling returning, my recollection is he returned to Babson simply because of the AD responsibilities being added to sweeten the pot. It seems unlikely to me that he would have gotten serious consideration at PC where hoops is king. (Lou L. was the exception - he was a grad and I don't think had ever left the school.) AD John Marinatto has already shown he is not opposed to rehiring a former coach (ie. Rick Pitino) but whether Stirling is back in the mix or even interested I couldn't say. Hope this adds to the discussion. Bill ([log in to unmask]) "What's a poor boy from NJ but who grew up with the Rangers to do?"
