Welcome Coach Tony Skinn!

[mason89]

Feature in today's Post on what happened to the career of Tom Pecora, coach of Hofstra who beat Mason twice in that Final Four season and was vying with us for the NCAA bid. Many quotes from Coach L.

He keeps saying there's no hard feelings, but that's not the way it reads. Hope he can finally win the conference tourney, so he can rest easy in retirement.

I have fond memories of Tom Pecora's visits to the Pat Dome.

For instance, I recall Tom Pecora becoming super-agitated, stomping up and down the sideline, as @ArrozBlanco mocked Tom for the whole arena to hear, bellowing an inquiry from the student section adjacent to Hofstra's bench, "Who stole my cannoli?!?!?" Awwwww... those were the days.

Good luck Tommy!

Includes a picture of him coaching from the sidelines that takes up about a quarter of page 1 of the Sports section. Patrick Stevens comes through again (it would be nice, however, to get some coverage other than when we play GW)!

There was an incident, of which I know no details but have heard rumors which I will not share here, about the third or fourth game into the season, and he hasn't been back, that I have seen him, to a men's game since

Well, they didn't come the the Gold Room any more and they didn't sit in their normal seats, so how could I know.
