Compliance is a PC group that has gone overboard on this one .  I actually like a coach who is transparent and says what he thinks!!!

I don't know how these things work.

I'm in the camp that Marr went to far...really made UA look bad claiming NCAA suspended the kid. 

Same. It is now sounding like compliance as HOF said proactively or for overly PC reasons suspended Nanticoke, and Marr took the opportunity to blame the NCAA for an internal UA process.

Yep.  But I do not mind a transparent coach speaking his mind.  He blamed the NCAA BUT compliance is responsible for enforcing stupid NCAA rules.

 What I want to know is who was policing Tehoka’s tweets, that UA’s compliance immediately suspended him a game.  THAT sounds like overly PC dweebs at work.

This has nothing to do with “PC.” It’s about cautiously staying clear of the NCAA knowing we won’t get a break like a Big 10 team would.

Got to disagree. Stand with the coach. IMHO Nanticoke would be on a long suspension if coach did NOT stand up to them. Perhaps Scott was a little too abrasive; but compliance/ncaa are the true bad guys here. STUPID RULES, SELECTIVELY ENFORCED. UA and especially lacrosse have been been treated unfairly or at least unequally time and again. Whether it be seeding or travel or whatever; how is the coach suppose to know they MIGHT overlook this incident. Personally, I think the ncaa would have come down hard on UA, if Scott had not stood up so forcibly. The only mistake coach made {in my opinion} is the way he attacked contributed to the TEAMS distraction. But make no mistake the distraction was there even before his "over reaction." Also, the ncaa comes out "looking" like the "good guy" here; but IMHO they are NOT!

Anybody have a prior example of this type of ‘violation’ and the NCAAs associated penalty on the player?

[uofalbany]

One might even think that Nanticoke should know better as well.

Getting back to the game:  man-up  --  man-down has been an issue since last year. Yesterday mass 2-3; UA 0-5; minus 7 discrepancy. Two years ago our man-down D, #1 in the country. Last year not even close. Even with our final four appearance last year our man-up efficiency was not good. Might just not have the manpower anymore or coaching flailings??  Thoughts??

I do not understand it EXCEPT to say we have never been good against a zone.  Our Offense not getting any inside shots is an example.  We just can't see to get cutters coming across clean in front of the crease. EVERY other team does.  We just don't seem to be able to beat the zone.  The 20 second 80 second clock make it easier for teams to use the zone.  For some reason our Offense just has never been able to beat it.

Sorry but it is PC in my mind.  I am the least PC person you would ever meet  and like it or not it permeates our society and our sports today!!!
