Does anyone have the skinny on why Wiley resigned at Colgate? Is he taking another job? Forced out?
Have heard that he was forced out due to team's performance. They have been backsliding the last 3 years, getting progressively worse. He had soem good seasons, but this last season was the team's worst in the history of the program, winning percentage-wise.
Talked to Coach Cowan yesterday (he is in Dallas for Girls Tier II Nationals) and he is retiring. The school has had several interviews to replace him.

Thanks for the update. I'd really like to see the Marian girls make something of themselves.

A few years ago, I heard there were less than 5 scholarships funded at Colgate. It is sort of hard to compete with that type of disparity.
With Troy Jutting fired...er, re-assigned?, from his position as head coach of the men's team, I can't help but wonder if his protege Eric Means will have a run at the position. Perhaps his style of demanding hits (I wonder if there was money offered like in the NFL???) on opposing players surely is more accepted in the men's game. (are there sarcasm tags on this editor?)

I saw that tidbit about Troy "The Whiner" Jutting earlier today and wondered about Means. He belongs as far away from women's hockey as he can get.

Was wondering the same exact thing. But I would prefer that Means would just go away from the college game altogether, as ordering "hits" on opposing players has no place in the college men's game either. Perhaps the Charlestown Chiefs have an opening?

I'm not sure that his track record with the women's program suggests that he'd offer any improvement over Jutting on the men's side. The only time that MSU has played in in a WCHA semi-final was ironically the season where the Mavericks had interim co-head coaches.
