Sounds like the list of candidates for the assistant job is pretty lengthy and impressive. Mel and Billy probably looking to name someone towards the end of June.

Thanks redwing, I am on mobile right now, so copying and pasting links is a bit of a PITA.

I found this quote from the article interesting:
"Pearson said there were no candidates for the job who formerly played at Michigan Tech..."
So we can scratch Ellsworth, Shelast, Russell, etc at this point.

I'm sure many people are being considered for the job in confidence, but it would have been neat to know who they had to choose from when the decision is ultimately made.

Re: Michigan Tech Offseason 2014: Nothing To Say

one of the owners - the quiet one - has a degree from MTU!

While I don't disagree with his opinion, I wish he hadn't stated it at that time and in that manner. Came across as a sore loser to me. I can't say I understand how a horse running three races in five weeks could be at huge a disadvantage, but I guess if the 9th place seed in the Western Conference got a bye to the Stanley Cup Final I might have an issue with that as well.

Another off-season article from the Mining Gazette - Mel will continue to follow the Gentleman's Agreement for recruiting.

I agree with Mel that signing a LOI should be moved up a year to avoid uncertainty. At the same time, I don't see any benefit to making a team policy statement on an unwritten rule in the first place (unless, I guess, it's to bring the conflict to the further attention of the NCAA.)

They won't make that change without D1A football and bouncyball's request/approval to make it an NCAA-wide change. Which means it's not happening, so forget it.

I don't know what would be more difficult, getting a special rule for hockey or getting the wholesale change NCAA wide...neither seems likely. I could certainly see hockey pushing for a change in the rule for hockey using the MJ pressure as the reason.

Looks like the Gazette has decided to end free access in favor of a pay-to-read model. Good luck with that, I'll be getting my news elsewhere.

Yep, that was announced on Twatter this past Monday. Whichever media conglomerate owns all the UP papers switched the electronic versions over to subscription model effective this morning.

Good Luck with that.

The NCAA should simply allow signing at any time during the year. Maybe regardless of age as well. This has been brought up a few times by the football coaches.
