Alaska used to win these types of games last year. Now they find themselves on the wrong end of most of them. I guess a regression was to be expected but still....
@BigDawgCed And equally respectfully, O'Toole, what is he supposed to do when he's silenced before he can say anything to prove he's trying? Honestly he's damn lucky Franklin O'Neill went down to San Jose and is working with him. And Terry was no rookie contract saint with women, either...
Isn't it about time everyone leaves Adam Tevela alone? He hasn't even touched a negative news cycle in ages, and yet there's a constant judgment cloud over him while players who aren't even all-stars ran through the streets of Montana like damn clowns and the press is crickets...
I don't have many complaints about ASW's roster choices. I'll list some thoughts.
+ Lady/Nur appreciation!!
+ Xiaoxing breaking the 3pt contest mold!!
+ East ASG with good team variety!
- Only 6 teams rep the west??
- 3 rookies from ALK/BLV??
- No Zuri in the 3pc??
- No Adge?!
After review, Arizona Demons guard Zuri Varne has been fined $50,000 for a profanity-laced tirade following Shubael Hoisington's flagrant 2 foul against Keisha Zatarra that put her on the IL. Varne was not assessed a tech during the game, but had to be held back by teammates.
And by that, I mean your fans' hearts. Stop trying to give games away; you're supposed to poison your opponents' win chances, not your fan base's pulses...
Biloxi rehired Merill Providence as the assistant to Rosie Hargrave over the Friday break. They won a road game for the first time all year. Welcome to the double-digit club, Venom. I didn't think you'd do it after the Providence HC tenure, but maybe him as the AC is the move...
Or it could just be because you played the West doormat and build a 20-point lead before the final frame and it was just enough despite the near total collapse. Who knows with you guys anymore. But Hargrave as the HC is clearly the right choice, y'all are playing with HEART now.
@BigDawgCed And it sends the message to potential signees that yeah, you can come here, but if they can't get their coaching situation right, what makes you think they'll know how to best utilize you?
BREAKING: Biloxi Venom head coach Merill Providence has been fired from his post, effective immediately, following the Venom's loss at home to Tallahassee. Assistant coach Rosie Hargrave (Eastern Coral Snake, naga) will take his place leading the team.
@BigDawgCed I don't even understand the mindset of this move, though.
Sure, 4-23 is a godawful start, but by firing Providence less than three months into his tenure you send the message that you don't even care enough to let him half a season, when his predecessor had two.
Biloxi: *has their captain come off bench for 3 games, loses them all*
Also Biloxi: *returns him to starting 5 and wins both afterward*
Coincidence, or fire stoked by their rookie coach? Only time can tell
@BigDawgCed You don't typically see coaches be on a hot seat eleven games into a career, Cedric. It usually takes something seismic to lose the locker room, but don't forget what he inherited on the coaching side from the management side.
Interesting report out of Biloxi - coach Providence is already on a burning hot seat following his benching of captain and team veteran Regulus Lowenthal, though the gryphon claims the move was done at his own request. More to come
Biloxi is 1-9 in their first 10. I don't know what's stupider, that they've benched their veteran captain from the starting five or that their one win was against Huntsville.
Call these guys the Vaccine the way they're immune to winning. /shamelessly borrowed from @BigDawgCed /
