  2. If what you are saying is true, then Kentucky has unique set of rules for prosecuting a criminal case(s). The issue is Luke's word vs, Dwayne's word as to my knowledge no other witnesses to the incident currently resides in the State of Kentucky and/or willing to take time out of their lives to travel to Kentucky for being disposed during a trail. I never thought Kentucky was interested spending much time, MONEY and effort in this case. Hopefully, Dwayne's class requirement is a pass-fail score. Just a little humor....
  3. Luke's attorneys cannot prosecute a criminal case in the State of Kentucky, thtat is the responsibility for the state attorney for the State of Kentucky.
  4. I bring this topic up once again because another local college realize their basketball program need something and that something had been part of their past. Many times, two good minds can come together and improve a situation. St. Rose is betting on that in bring back Brian back as associate head coach. As Killings has stated "The interests of our team, players, families, program and community always comes first to me" (Times Union March 21, 2023). He needs to start demonstrating this immediately by hiring a mature and seasoned associate head coach. Killings needs to understand "Asking for help is not giving up. It is refusing to give up". I must give credit to the British author Charlie Mackey and his 2023 Oscar winning animated short movie for the line. SAINT ROSE MEN’S BASKETBALL Beaury returns to St. Rose’s staff Hall of Famer who led Knights to 643 wins now associate head coach By Abigail Rubel John Carl D'Annibale / Times Union archive Brian Beaury, who won 643 games over more than 30 seasons as head coach of the College of Saint Rose men’s basketball team before retiring in 2018, is returning to the Golden Knights as an associate head coach for his former assistant, now-head coach Mike Perno. Lori Van Buren / Times Union ALBANY — Brian Beaury, who spent more than 30 seasons coaching the Saint Rose men’s basketball team before retiring in 2018, has rejoined the team as associate head coach. “I knew on my student visit in 1978 that Saint Rose was where I belonged. As men’s basketball coach, it was an honor to play a small role in the growth and development of the College and basketball program and watch our student-athletes thrive on and off the court while they were here and as alums,” Beaury, a Saint Rose alumnus, said in a news release announcing his hire. “I’m excited and humbled to take on this role and look forward to hitting the ground running.” Beaury was the ninth Division II head coach to reach 600 wins. He had a 643-226 record in 32 years with the Golden Knights before retiring due to medical issues. He is a member of the New York State Basketball Coaches Hall of Fame and the New York Capital Region Basketball Hall of Fame. Beaury left the team in the hands of former assistant Mike Perno. “Coach has meant so much to me personally, and I know he has meant so much to the college for the program he was able to build,” Perno said. “It is not every day you have the chance to add a Hall of Fame coach who is respected at such a high level to help get this program back to where we need to be.” Led by Schalmont graduate Shane O’Dell (16.3 points, 6.9 rebounds per game), the Golden Knights went 9-20 overall, 3-17 in Northeast-10 Conference play this season, losing to Southern Connecticut State in the first round of the NE10 Tournament. O’Dell, as well as forward Josh McGettigan (13.9 ppg) and forward Eric Fleming (11.9 ppg), entered the transfer portal. Beaury will assist with on-court instruction and game day preparation, as well as recruiting, scheduling and player personnel and development efforts. “Coach has meant so much to me personally, and I know he has meant so much to the college for the program he was able to build. It is not every day you have the chance to add a Hall of Fame coach who is respected at such a high level to help get this program back to where we need to be.” Mike Perno, St. Rose men’s basketball coach ▶› Abigail.Rubel@- timesunion.com A @abigail_rubel

  6. How do you remove the cloud from this past season record and the fact that we failed to reach our conference tournament? Further, I do not see DK leaving on his own accord, with three years left on his six-figure contract. Is there a Transfer Portal for fans and supporters of broken college sports programs?
  7. I would agree today's deal arranged by Killing's attorney with the Kentucky courts is the best legal outcome for Killings. However, the incident remains in the minds of most Great Dane fans as well as the season past. He continues to retain a public relation firm to place a wall between him and the public. He may have "win" the KY battle, Killings has a long way to go to win the war for the support of the UAlbany fan base. "Solid Outcome", only time will tell and let us remember, Killings likely paid a tidy sum for his attorney to arrange this deal.
  8. Not only did we get to see a National Ranked team ... we got to see a Sweet Sixteen team ... may be the only memorable event of the season excluding the fact the Great Danes failed to make our conference tournament.

  10. The Vermont WBB follow up the Vermont MBB one and done game with one of their own: UCONN 95, VERMONT 52 Huskies knock out Catamounts UConn wins 29th straight game in the opening round By Pat Eaton-Robb Associated Press Jessica Hill / Associated Press UConn's Aaliyah Edwards, left, guarded by Vermont's Anna Olson, looks for a shot Saturday. She scored 28 points. STORRS, Conn. — Aaliyah Edwards scored a career-high 28 points, Dorka Juhasz added a double-double and No. 2 seed UConn routed 15th seed Vermont 95-52 on Saturday, giving the Huskies a 29th straight win in the opening round of the NCAA Tournament. Juhasz scored 15 points and pulled down 10 rebounds, the Hungarian’s 13th double-double this season for the sixth-ranked Huskies. Caroline Ducharme added 12 points, helping Connecticut (30-5) to its 26th 30-win season during Geno Auriemma’s 38 years as coach. Catherine Gilwee scored 14 points, while Emma Utterback and Maria Myklebust each had 13 for Vermont (25-7), which had its 17-game winning streak snapped. UConn will play either No. 7 seed Baylor or 10th-seeded Alabama on Monday. This was the fourth straight game the Huskies have had 10 available players, after spending much of the season with just seven. Azzi Fudd (five points), who missed 22 games, including the final 14 of the regular season, with knee injuries made her first start since Dec. 4 and scored the first basket on a short jumper from the lane. That started a 7-0 run and the Huskies never trailed. Edwards had 12 of her points in the first 10 minutes as the Huskies led 27-12 after a quarter. UConn took its first 20-point lead at 32-12 and a fast-break layup from Aubrey Griffin made it 48-18. The Huskies shot 67 percent over the first 20 minutes (62 percent for the game) and it was 53-20 at halftime. The Huskies extended that to as many as 46 in the second half. UConn’s Lou Lopez Senechal (nine points) left the game with a leg injury in the third quarter. She jogged off the court, but did not return to the game. Big picture Vermont: The Catamounts last lost on Jan. 1 to UMBC. Vermont’s defense had been holding opponents to an average of 52.8 points per game. UConn had 53 at the half. UConn: This is UConn’s 34th straight appearance in the NCAA Tournament, where it is now an almost incomprehensible 131-22. The Huskies improve to 22-4 as a No. 2 seed. Up next Vermont: With a young team, coach Alisa Kresge is hoping for more success next season, though she is aware that with the portal, some of her players may be given opportunities at larger schools. “When you make it to the Big Dance obviously you’re in the spotlight,” she said. “At the end of the day we’re going to stay true to who we are and we take care of people and we give everything to them. If they decide that they need something else, I’ll be their biggest supporter.” UConn: The Huskies haven’t lost in the second round of the NCAA Tournament since 1992 and will be looking to make a 29th appearance in the Sweet 16.
  11. UALBANY WOMEN’S BASKETBALL Hahne ends college career Loss in WNIT was final game for fifth-year guard By Abigail Rubel Jim Franco / Times Union UAlbany graduate student Ellen Hahne helped change the culture for the Great Danes in her three seasons with them. Ellen Hahne has played her last game for the University at Albany women’s basketball team. A fifth-year guard from Sweden, Hahne was the only one of last year’s starters healthy at the beginning of the season and led the Great Danes through the nonconference schedule, when they played just two games at their temporary home of Hudson Valley Community College. The Wake Forest transfer averaged 11.2 points and 5.6 rebounds in her final season of basketball, helping UAlbany to a share of the regular-season America East title, its first in seven years. But the Great Danes (22-12) couldn’t repeat last year’s postseason success, falling to Vermont by two points in the conference championship game and losing at UMass 73-48 Friday night in the first round of the WNIT. “We’ve been through a lot of adversity (with injuries and not having a home gym), but not a single time have we complained or thought about quitting or anything like that,” Hahne said following the UMass game. “I’m very proud of my team for everything that we’ve done, and everything everyone has done individually to be prepared and just stay together and stay positive.” Hahne committed to transferring to UAlbany ahead of the 2020-21 season, during the COVID-19 pandemic. She never visited the school. “I simply had another Swede (now-senior forward Helene Haegerstrand) here that I talked to a lot, and then I talked to coach (Colleen) Mullen on the phone two times and I was like, OK I’ll come here,” Hahne said. “She completely changed our culture,” Mullen said of Hahne. “All these seniors and these juniors that I recruited in my first recruiting class, they all decided to commit to a losing program. ... It speaks volumes to their commitment of buying into their roles, being unselfish, sacrificing their personal glory for the team.” Fifth-year forward Lucia Decortes has also exhausted her eligibility. Seniors Haegerstrand, Grace Heeps, Taniya Hanner and Fatima Lee all have another year left, but haven’t declared their intentions for next season. Hahne and the rest of UAlbany’s scorers struggled in both the championship game at Vermont and against UMass. Junior guard Kayla Cooper posted a double-double of 18 points and 11 rebounds, nine on the offensive glass, and Haegerstrand added nine points. Hahne and red-shirt junior guard Morgan Haney, UAlbany’s third-and fourth-most prolific shooters, combined for five points. The Great Danes shot 23 percent (16-for-69) from the field. “We had open shots that we didn’t knock down. Similar to our championship game, we kind of went cold offensively, but we got great looks,” Mullen said. “This team has no quit and they just fought to the end.” The teams traded blows early, but senior guard Sydney Taylor drained a 3 to start a 9-0 UMass run that gave the Minutewomen the lead for good. UMass pushed the advantage to as many as 30 points late in the fourth quarter. Taylor had 19 points, and senior forward Angelique Ngalakulondi had 17 points and 15 rebounds for the Minutewomen. Atlantic 10 Player of the Year Sam Breen had 16 points on 7-for-12 shooting. The Great Danes trailed 36-26 at halftime after allowing just 13 points in the second quarter. “When we’re all on the same page it really shows, and I think when we started to come together and talk more, it was really effective,” Cooper said of the defensive effort. She started the second half with two free throws, closing the gap to eight, but Taylor got the Minutewomen rolling again with a fast-break layup, sparking a 10-0 run, and UAlbany never got back within single digits. ▶› Abigail.Rubel@- timesunion.com A @abigail_rubel
  12. I agree completely and I think Jonathan has had re-education about D1 ball and a re-set in what his aspirations are. I believe a person or persons are assisting the family through the process. I bet teams that Jonathan is interested in have received a very well-crafted video clip of his plays and accomplishments.
  13. No D... playing at $iena is not nonsense, it is in the realm of possibilities. Further, comparing the Hueter and Beagle families is unfair to both families. Kevin path to the NBA, while not absolute, was attainable. Beagle's aspirations are likely more modest, like making the NCAA Tournament. After a year of dealing with circus surrounding Killing and the UAlbany team, Jonathan and his family is looking for some stability and perhaps the $iena community can offer that however only they know what is on the table. I could easily see Beagle playing at Syracuse with Girad. As we know, the environment surround college sports have become fluid, some schools more than others.
  14. Yes, if he wants to play close to home so mom and dad can make all the home games and some of the away games. Look at this year's NCAA seedings, the AE has taken a step back and the MAAC has risen a bit. Five or six years ago, the top half of the AE was competitive with the MAAC. I am of the opinion, the AE is not as competitive with the MAAC at this time.
  15. Interesting, since a published news article stated Killing's defense team had requested no court dates until next week at the earliest as not to interfere any potential post season games.
