not sure what his salary is, but I recall the last time we looked at PSAC salaries vs YSU salary, there was not a large difference.

always thought he was the guy ex player from the general area...looks like he turned a program around from being on probation ...to one game from winning the natonal championship
Pita:
Geez.......looked up Joe Lombardi on the Internet....listed as
Asst. to Pitt........Guess there could be more than one.
Thanks for the heads up. Had not heard anything about hime
for quite sometime.....like back to his YSU days.....but then
it is difficult to remember all the X's when you've been at it for
so many years.
Thanks for the info. But does it solve the situation???
ysuindy:
Pita - I got the same old links to come up from when he was at Pitt. Sometimes hard to tell what is current or not.
I am not even going to get in to the what is the problem or what should be done. I know nothing but its gotten to the stage where I am just tired of it.
I started my comments in response to the poll. If there is a change, I don't know that I would be comfortable with either of the options and I am just trying to understand whether there are any other former players I don't know about who would be qualified.
Back to going outside and chipping away at the skating rink on my driveway. How long until Spring?
YSUalum:
How about someone from the mid-major level who will come in and WORK the job? A younger coach who has the energy to excite recruits, as well as the students and community. There are plenty of guys out there like this who are in our region! Guys like...

(sorry Dan Peters fans...Peters would be the first to admit that he didn't recruit well during his time in Youngstown...and I am not sure that at 57 years old, he would be hitting the recruiting trail very hard)
These are just a few regional guys who would probably jump at the opportunity to turn YSU basketball's fortunes around.
