Scrolling through some posts on Luke Murray’s presser at BC… If you look on front of the photogs you can see Newman’s Jackson Johnson and Masters Academy’s John Carroll watching Murray speak. Two pretty big names in New England prep circles to have in your corner.

@WinterSportsLaw Athletes not (students)? Fortunately this model will cease to function. Next…

Definitely highlights the tension in college athletics. These are institutions of higher education. But they’re operating pro sports teams, where athletes are paid millions in connection with playing a sport. So can’t expect money to never be part of some athletes’ decisions.
Scott Eisberg@SEisbergWCIV

What a quote from CofC AD Matt Roberts. In part... "If they sit in that room and hear that speech from those 2 coaches and that's not good enough for them, get out of here. Get out of here, go somewhere else. If money is your motivator, you are not wanted at CofC. That is a direct message to those student athletes"

@FalveyKStars @RickyHarris5 @NovaMBB Ricky Harris is an example of sticking with it - in good times & bad. great example for those he works with. We watched him improve tremendously over 4 years. Usually smiling and keeping things in perspective. Constantly supporting >constantly complaining @UMassMBB @coachFMartin

Maybe I missed it, but was there any end of year press conference for Umass Bball? Any accountability? Any status updates on Frank Martin? Any staff changes? Anything on this disappointing season?

@TheMassCo I was thinking the same thing last night about VCU. Sustained success. 14 bids in the last 20 years. Competent leadership.

Amazing what a capable, functional, accountable athletic department can produce. Seven different coaches this century and the standard never drops. Programs don’t sustain success by accident. It happens when leadership actually sets expectations, supports the program, and holds people (and themselves) accountable. That is what real alignment and leadership look like. At UMass we should demand the exact same standard. Nothing less. #GoUMass
Tom Harkness@THarknessStats

Phil Martelli Jr. becomes the seventh different coach in succession to take VCU to the dance this century. Jeff Capel, Anthony Grant, Shaka Smart, Will Wade, Mike Rhoades, Ryan Odom, and now PMJ. Incredible!

@craigo1918 It’s much easier to take shots anonymously and just complain, and harass people. Thanks to some for caring in good times and bad! @TheMassCo 📈

People have taken their shots, give the credit now. This is important, well said, facts and took stones to put out there
The Massachusetts Collective@TheMassCo

As we close out the season, we want to thank everyone who has believed in @TheMassCo and the work we have done since day one on 10/22/2022. The support from members, fans, and supporters has meant a lot, and the messages, calls, and texts after yesterday’s win were appreciated and cherished. But let’s be honest. One good moment cannot hide the bigger picture. An 8th place finish in the MAC is simply unacceptable. For a brief moment yesterday it felt good, but it also felt like lipstick on a pig. The same explanations, the same lack of accountability, and the same results year after year cannot continue. That is not the standard this program should accept. We also take responsibility on our end. We set out to help deliver something better for our members and supporters and we fell short of that. We can say with complete confidence it was not due to a lack of effort. Having a seat at the table as supporters matters. But who you are sitting with, and who is at the head of the table, matters just as much. We will take some time after the season to unwind and reevaluate our role moving forward. For now, we simply wanted to say thank you to our supporters and fellow fans who have stood with us. Your belief and passion for UMass Basketball means a great deal and deserves to be rewarded. #GoUMass

@TheHerdBros You cite 1 Massachusetts win vs a mid ACC school, only to ignore their 15 losses on the year… That is called “cherry picking” an argument revealing your confirmation bias, to remove context of their ENTIRE season… Which is UMass almost lost as many as they won which is mediocre

Love all of the other MAC schools fans in my mentions talking shit. 31-0 regular season, safely in the tournament and single-handedly ensured that the MAC will be a two-bid league for the first time since the Clinton Administration. You idiots should be thanking us.

@will_vince @midmajorball Nope, it’s because @coachFMartin is right! Today forces committee to select two @MACSports teams. Unfortunately it hurts other leagues like @A10MBB now looking at 1 bid…not the power conferences. Lots of talent out there, who get shut out during regular season…

UMass head coach Frank Martin after pulling off the upset over undefeated Miami argues that the MAC deserves to be a two-bid league, calling it an “embarrassment” if Miami doesn’t get an at-large bid.
