Scalzo: YSU men must start run tonight
Penguin Nation:
I would not equate cross country or track and field with MBB or even WBB. Just making it into the Dance would be a public relations bonanza for the University. MBB is the second most revenue generating sport, and to let it atrophy is fiscal malpractice. IMO being HL champs of an Olympic sport, or several Olympic sports, but neglect MBB is absurd.
WBB is 64-54 under Barnes. Not great, but tolerable...barely.
But ol' sweet Geri Slocum....record at YSU is 139-224....horrific, but not as pathetic as his HL record, which is 62-136. One....one winning HL record in 12 years....and he barely had that w/ a 10-8 record in 2011. I'm not surprised he's tenured at No Accountability U. If I recall correctly, the annual MBB budget is $1.3M. In the city of Ytown, is there a more irresponsible use of $1.3M? Honestly, moRon would chose Geri's replacement, so Geri would be replaced with a Slocum/Hill/Martin equivalent so he may as well stay.

If it's ranked 20t, the Horizon league is not above our heads. We just need a coach who can players in the program and provide some continuity. Our top players or prospective top players leaving every year is not going to cut it. How may we lose every year ? Three or four?

We only lost Jordan Andrews this year. A non-related basketball incident happened with Sidney Umude this summer. Not sure his status for the future. It was a shame to lose him.

YSU men's basketball is a non factor in our community. The program is dead. Need new life, and new coach. As for the Horizon League, it is now one of the weakest in Division 1, the day Butler left, the league took a hit.
One of the few leagues that will be under no consideration for two NCAA berths. The right coach here could begin turning this program around and get us quickly into the top 4 in the league. When Slocum was not fired last year, and yes, it was President Tressel who save his job. All the Strollo bashing(he deserves most of it)on here, but he wanted to fire Slocum. That was a clear message YSU neither cares or has the desire to invest money into men's basketball.
