If the CAA would expand its presence in the Northeast and perhaps bring in Albany and Vermont or even New Hampshire they could have a North and South Division. I agree with Bob about just recruiting out of state players
is a mistake for the program as well as the Fans.
Perhaps I have been away too long, but if I am not mistaken under Steve Abbot the UMAINE just spent a lot of money to redo the facility, It used to be a great place to play a college basketball game back in its heyday. I always like playing our JV games there.
What is wrong with playing in the PITT now?
I don't think the problem are the players. I think it is your Head Coach at UMAINE.
I look at a similar situation we had recently down in Tuscaloosa with John Brannen. He was the Assistant Coach under Anthony Grant. Grant was in his fifth season at Alabama and got fired. Brannen had to take over and did
a hell of a job but they never considered him for the Head Coaching position.
But look now at what John Brannen is now doing at Northern Kentucky.

The point I am trying to make is that a Coach sometimes moves on and does great things under different circumstances. Bob Walsh may be a great Coach (16-75). But he is not a great Coach for the University of Maine.
Now he may go on to some other place and be the Winningest Coach in the history of College Basketball. But do
any of you truly feel after three years that this Coach is going to change things at UMAINE. I think we have all seen enough to see that for whatever reason this Coach is not winning at the University of Maine.
