Actually, you are the one with selective reading skills.  Try reading closer.  At no point did I say that you, yourself have a negative attitude.  That comment was directed at anyone who does have a negative attitude toward the program and the coaching staff.  Why? Do you feel guilty?  Maybe you should look at yourself in a mirror, if you feel that statement was directed at you.  Sounds like you are feeling guilty.

This is a thread, of which we are both reading.  I only have a small idea of what you may have been writing in other threads, as This thread is the one that showed up on my view first, and I haven't had much time to read the board lately.  Therefore, I am responding to this thread, and not to anything else you may have written.

I stand by my statement.  You can not compare the two programs as equivalents during the time frame you have referred too.  The two programs were not under similar situations.  Therefore, to infer anything by your comparison is invalid.  You call it a black and white statement, but it is a statement of truth.  Do you argue that?  Because it is fact. One program was sanctioned, the other not.  Your disagreement infers that you do not feel that sanctions adversely affect programs.  I refute that view and am happily willing to provide ample evidence that sanctions do negatively impact programs.

These are the facts from your comparison.  Have both programs recruited relatively similarly ranked players?  Yes.

Has Nova had better results from the kids they recruited than SU?  Yes.

Did SU have to push some players out and bring lower ranked players in due to recruiting restrictions? Yes.

Were the two programs in similar situations during the time frame in comparison? No
