Jerry, please do the right thing and resign.

A couple more telling facts.
Average home attendance decreased consistently during Slocum's tenure. It reflects a clear consumer message the customer does not like the product and is not willing to pay for it.
Slocum's record during February and March is 26 - 66. This .282 winning percentage is even lower than his overall Division 1 winning percentage of .333. February and March are the months during which the learning and experience of November, December and January should come together to yield a team playing at its highest level of the season. Unfortunately, the record shows the competition is consistently doing a better job building and pointing their teams toward the conference tournament than the YSU coaches.
Lastly, there was discussion earlier in this thread about YSU administration commitment to men's basketball. A poster called out to anyone in search for a path forward. Could the template for success be the programs at Akron and Kent State? They are in the same geographical area, have similar political/economic challenges, function within the same financial structure as other Ohio state universities, endure the same climate, etc. They figured out men's basketball. What do they know that we do not? Or could it be "are they better at managing assets?"

This information should be provided by the local media, rather than Scalzo writing, "Stop sending me emails asking for Strollo to be fired." The local media has zero credibility, IMO, and because of their timid and gutless "reporting", this squandering of >$1.3M of tax payer money continues essentially unchecked. They are enablers and not reporters. I wonder if the YSU Athletic Department threatens reporters with limited access if they are critical of YSU?
Strong work Chez.

Too much basketball and negativity. I merged the topics. They are covering the same items.
