The issue isn’t Felt, but rather his direct boss, he handcuffs him and doesn't give him latitude, he still thinks he's the AD. Additionally, Hank acts as though he’s both Athletic Director and president, given his status as one of the top donors. The board members who aren’t aligned with Hank had concerns about Reilly, but Hank pushed his appointment through. We had two other highly qualified candidates, including an SHU alum, but Reilly was allegedly considered the strongest option.

This is really disappointing and disturbing to read about this and how this was either missed or swept under the carpet. On the heels of the embezzlement issue and Nyre debacle, changes need to happen and quickly. No excuses.

As much as the play of the team has been frustrating, roster, NIL, Sha’s coaching this year all pale in comparison. Ironic that many point to Felt as the culprit but we have much bigger issues.

Posted on politico and amplified by JC so it has to be true.

I’ll take Hank’s word.

So the article states multiple incidents but only details 1 from 12 years ago with very little detail. I’ll reserve judgement until more is revealed. Hopefully from a more reliable source than Politico NJ.

See what happens when you at least put a hand in the face of harper?

Now I know what defense looks like on Harper with only seconds left in the game.

So maybe he was actually hurt, they were losing, and so Pitino staggered his minutes in the second half since he had developed some depth to do that?

He has patella tendinitis so they say

Valid points. SJ shot 3/18 from the 3ball last night. Was the reason the game was as close as it was. PC packed in the paint

as we see from Marquette now against X- defense inside the arc isn’t as good as it’s been the last few years and I think they will get knocked off a few times this year

Agreed, I think Marquette's concern is the interior/paint/glass, because both Joplin and Gold are stretch bigs.

I think Uconn is rounding into tip-top shape. The concern for them, I think, is that they went from legit first team all league guys at the guards spots and Center spots in back-to-back years. NBA level guys. Their two Centers are good, probably getting better and compliment each other well, but it's a tall task to ask them to replicate Sanogo and Clingan, just like it is tall task to ask Diarra/Ball/Mahaney etc to replicate Newton/Hawkins/Castle. I do think Ball is developing though into a stud even though he didn't play well today.

The title was changed to better represent the content.

I also added the link to Jerry's story in your post to ensure details.

Finally, I left your full comments in the post including your mention of Hank.

Anyone reading the article will then decide who is responsible and what should be done.

I think Rutgers "dream season" was a message board creation. I don't think anyone objective thought with that roster this was a team that was going to contend for titles. I think folks thought they'd be a NCAA team, which is very much in play, and that the two freshman would be really good, which they are. Having those kids is still a massive boon to that program.

Can't say you are wrong but a minor issue, Hank's hands are still all over this.

The post was intended to be about Hank. Even Carino article makes a reference to Hank in all this and basketball team mess.

There should be aSeparate thread on Riley but this one should be about Hank

Henderson is the best coach in NJ right now. Hope he doesn’t end up at Nova

Absolutely part and parcel to the story.

Three sides to every story but hard to extricate Hank and the BOR from this mess.

Well…. Feel the authority of post title should be with the author not admin

govt trust isn't changing in anyone because of these drones. i know its hard to fathom you dont have a golf friend who can tell you what's going on, so naturally it must be a botch job.

I think you are right, the mistrust came from having a president in office who was failing for 3 years and being hidden from the public. What's even crazier is they were planning another 4 years before the drugs didn't work during the debate.

Thread title has been changed by Admin from Hank to Msgr Reilly

Not sure their reason but the point of my post was about Hank role in all these issues

See I think it’s the opposite. Uconn and Marquette looking like 1A and 1B and SJU in the next tier behind them. I question SJU’s outside shooting unless Wilcher, Scott, Luis, Smith etc can consistently make 3s at a decent clip. Uconn IMO has at least 3 guys who I think will be really good shooters between Ball (who looks like a stud), McNasty and Karaban. Can really space the floor and I think Marquette can do that too between Cam, Joplin, Gold etc

SJ and UConn are 1A/B with Marquette slightly behind them. Kam jones is the best scorer in the league but not sure Ben gold / Joplin are strong enough defensively in the front court.

Both SJ and UConn played Baylor in close games with one of BU’s top scorers out vs UConn . Going to be heck of a matchup at MSG

In defense of the BOR: they were likely forced by the diocese into this hire due to the ynfolding circumstances that led to the job opening

That being said the BOR needs new blood as we hit our 3rd major headline in the last few years for all the wrong reasons

Good authority it originated with Nyre. Guy is still crazed over his ouster.

I pay absolutely no attention nor have any knowledge of regulations on non-profit universities, but as people with a vested interest in the reputation of our degree, can a suit be brought against the BOR for its failure in its fiduciary responsibility?
