Re: RPI 2017 Off-Season: We March 4th into the Future
So alumni coaches are closer to 40% then 20% does it really matter? How many of those Alumni coaches have winning records in their overall careers. Being an Alumni doesn't mean your going to be a good coach. Just like being a good recruiter doesn't mean you're going to be a good coach. They have 4 candidates with varying backgrounds hopefully the one they choose will lead this program out of the woods. As for Riga and the last time he was a HC, the length of time doesn't matter, the fact that he was a HC at a level higher than youth hockey should matter. As with Gosek as with Smith. They have the knowledge on how to construct a team, assemble practices and run a bench during a game. That's a disadvantage that Barr is at. He doesn't have that experience. It doesn't mean he isn't capable of doing it just means he's learning on the job.
