More Slocum apologists.

WICK250 great stuff. The column in the Vindicator today is a joke. Whether you liked Joe Scalzo or not, he would have come after the YSU administration for keeping Slocum.
Penguin Nation:
Very interesting info from Wick. As Wick said:
"So Slocum stands alone, indicted by the evidence for a terrible record and the absence of any team accomplishments. The worst long-tenured coach in Division I basketball."
Wilaj should question why YSU is such an outlier, and treat this like the scandal it is, instead of enabling and cheerleading. Wick has more insightful info in a few sentences then I've ever read in the Vindy.
Slocum's upcoming years at YSU will be like his last 11, and to think otherwise (like Wilaj does) is magical thinking. Maybe someday we'll be good enough to again make it to the CIT. Maybe in the next 11 years we'll have one more (barely) winning conference record. Maybe. Anything more would be out of character for Slocum.
YSU has just declared they're content with an 0.297 conference winning %, and wish to remain that way.
A final thought....athletics are optional for a University. If the $1.3M annual expenditure for YSU MBB has a low ROI, than why continue it? Why not spend it on something that actually benefits the University, rather than something that embarrasses it? Or if we insist on having MBB, then if our commitment to MBB is more suited to D2, then why aren't we D2? We remain in the HL because we do well in a few (non-revenue generating) Olympic sports? It's as if they are playing with Monopoly money, and outcomes don't matter.

Do not agree. Wilaj is much more of a YSU antagonist than Scalzo ever was.

Yes! the team may be better next season, but we need to realize the season does not end with onset of January and February. When has coach had a winning record the second half of the season? Huh! I thought so!!!!
