We’ve long said some of our best ideas here are stolen, and adapted to our CAA World. Happened again yesterday, courtesy of our friends over at College Chalktalk. The basic premise of the article is that the author took a look at home/road records from last year and applied them to the upcoming year. The [...]

Back up to full speed next week, and that is a promise. We’ve made significant progress on two multi-part summer features, and paying work is cranking along. We all needed the break anyway. However I continue to read good stuff, and I have two items to pass along for your weekend amusement. First, a quick [...]

As first reported by Adam Zagoria, Hofstra point guard Chaz Williams has fluctuated back to the Leaving Cassara side of his ever-changing mind. This time, though, it appears to be final. “I made it official. I got my release,” he told Zagoria. Here’s the part that cracks me up. Williams also said that the coaching [...]

Offseason goodies will continue to roll out at an uneven pace, but stay tuned. The first installment in our summer series “People You Know But Don’t Know” is about halfway finished. You’ll know it when you see it. Plus, the CAAHoops Brain Trust is furiously writing long, semi-cogent emails that will eventually lead to something. [...]

Good things come to those who wait. This means we’ll wait to address Hofstra’s hiring of Mo Cassara. (Defiantly Dutch covered the bases yesterday anyway. Cassara Q/A is just below Jack Hayes.) Today, it’s closing the loop on Northeastern. Bill Coen received a well-deserved contract extension Monday. The deal ensures–as ensured as you can be [...]

We’re crafting several items for you today and tomorrow, including perspective on Bill Coen’s contract extension, Hofstra’s tenuous position, and a few other odds and ends. Safe to say this offseason–which technically hasn’t ended yet–has been eventful. Like sands through the hourglass, you know. Until we can pour through it all, here’s a Q&A with [...]

Tim Welsh made a series of bad decisions late last week. He endangered lives and the resulting DWI may likely cost him his job as Hofstra’s head coach as soon as today, a position he held for less than one month. But let’s be clear: it’s stupid and useless and mongering to try to figure [...]
