Message: [QUOTE="samspann1, post: 3659508, member: 1568"] Couple of things: 1. Upthread, there was referenced made to UB's "young" coach. Whitesell is like 60 years old, and is not unexperienced - he was HC at Loyola-Chicago for a number of years. That said, his hire (at least locally) was seen as an uninspiring one, and he's really done nothing to change that view. At his age, the UB job is not a "stepping stone" position. 2. I don't particularly care for Oats. I think he's overly brash and smarmy. The post-game trash talk (in addition to running his mouth after the victory against SU, he did something similar after UB beat Arizona in the NCAAs) is douchey, and IMO, the UB players who were running their mouths probably took their cues from him. Of course, Whitesell did nothing to tame their behavior, so it's on him as well. [/QUOTE]
