Yes! Now time to find a new coach and start anew. Hopefully whoever is hired can do right by this senior class, who deserve better than being cellar dwellers yet again.

Wow-just wow. The way the Athletic Director at Marist handles things is an utter disgrace. Success comes from the top down-if you aren't given the resources or ability to do your job in any shape or form, you can't be held responsible when shit hits the fan and things don't pan out in the way of success. What coach is going to want to walk into McCann Arena and take over the Head Coaching position at a school who goes through coaches the way that we do? It speaks to the inability of the administration across the board to provide resources to be successful. Before you utter a negative word about Mike Maker, remember that he inherited a steaming pile of crap-and was never given the resources needed to win, period.
As a Marist alum, I thank Maker for his time, energy, and commitment to doing something none of us could have done any better. This is a terrible example of commitment from administration at the college, and rock bottom continues to get deeper from here. This is a disgraceful move on the part of Tim Murray, an arrogant son of a bitch who needs to look deeply into the mirror and ask himself who the issue is here: the people he has hired or him.

WOW - I agree with a lot of what you just said. I feel the next coach will run into very similar issues with the same administration behind him

cmon,u can't win more than 6-7 games a year ,I think Maker would be the first to say it was a great disappointment .Sorry Maker had some decent players and he decided to go the Nordic route also .It didn't work or he didn't know how to make it work . No matter who the Ad was Maker wasn't going to make it happen ,i wish him well in the future but he couldn't do it here by any stretch of the imagination .

D2 I hope you are right and that it is Maker - seeing how the next coach can recruit and who he can bring in will help all of us determine if it was coach or is it school or is it something else

I am willing to bet we lose a few kids to transfer and I will be surprised if both recruits come.

I'll tell you ,we've gone back and forth ,but i think a lot of fans, players are relieved and happy to see this .Not saying Maker can't go back to assitant coaching ,learn a little more and rebound like Martin has done. but you gotta look at coaches like Dunne and Johnson on and on .There are some great coaches in the MAAC ,if fact i would say most coaches in the MAAC are superb . We've just gotta land a superb coach .
