1 AA you have been watching a different program than me the last 12 years. First, Dan Peters did a much better job than Slocum. One conference tournament semifinal appearance in 12 years, a 5-14 tournament record.
Where do you see 'awesome talent', this team lost 21 games, and ended the regular season a disaster. Yes, the win over Oakland was a great one for this program, but don't let one win blind an entire seasons.
YSU was swept by Detroit! Slocum lost 68% of his games, thats awful. Paid attendance on some nights was less than 1000, the program is irrelevant in our community. He made no connections with our Valley.
But for the sake of your point, if YSU does indeed have 'awesome talent' returning, then how did Slocum lose 21 games with this talent?
Just about every year his teams among the worst defensively in the conference, this year dead last, giving up somewhere around 84 points per game, that is bad coaching!
