Yup, very savvy, make the right play type & has great size. He makes teammates better when he steps on floor. Just ask their PG Cole about that.

For bubble and coach of the year purposes, Hurley went 0-4 vs the other top 4 BE teams this year.

Saw Dave Bing vs. NYU at old MSG in 1963.  I think their big man was Chuck Richards.  Violet with Kramer and Hairston in a romp.
 
McDermott reinstated

I can't say that Matt with any type of certainty. From where I sit it can be percieved that he received no more than a slap on the wrist. The school it can be perceived held him out of one game and reinstates him long in advance of the BE Tournament where they may be the favourite to win, thereby ensuring a high NCAA seeding which often translates to more publicity and revenue.  
There will be many who say the University took the easy way out and I can't say they are wrong. 
Personally I would have liked to see something more than sensitivity training, however I will defer to other posters who were directly impacted by Coach McDermott's inappropriate words.

it probably shows he has enough good-will built up at the school to weather this storm.  I doubt he would have survived this had he had even a whisper of past inappropriate conduct.
 
I think there has been too much over reaction to statements and one time  mistakes by individuals in recent times . We all have made statements and done things in our life times that  make McDermotts statement  pale in comparison .This thing has gotten blown out of proportion because other statements by other peopl have  been blown out of proportions . Why is a sincere  apology no longer enough to resolve a situation . There was no history with him to make you think he is a bigot , this is blown out of proportion .Forgiveness and understanding should rule in life !!!!!!!!!!!

Ya think the fact that hey're heading ino the post season with an excellent chance of winning the BE and getting a 4-5 seed in the dance may have factored into the descion?  Wonder if McDermott was a poor coah like say Letaio, who finished dead last,  if he'd be back after just a quickie 1 game sit down?  Or would he be out looking to collect unemployment?
