America East Coaches Refuse to Honor Rivera

[MRSGDG]

Is there any possibility that the AE coaches and AD's did not select Rivera because they genuinely didn't think the kid deserved the honor? Could there possibly be some factor that most of us are missing that the voters saw instead? Sportsmanship is one factor that comes to mind. There are other factors as well. This whole situation may not be due to feelings toward Binghamton's coach.

 

 

Nero said it was in protest to the NCAA. I'm sure he didn't make that up.

 

That could be the case if he wasn't selected POY but was on the all-conference team. He was definitely deserving of the all-conference team at the very least, don't you think?

 

 

Why not ask him, he doesn't have an email address posted online for nothing: nero@americaeast.com

Maybe. I don't know much about the kid to make a judgment. I haven't been following him very closely. He may very well be deserving.

 

I just find the explanation given by Nero to be lacking. There is something really wrong here with the whole situation. According to Nero, the coaches and AD's denied Rivera a well-deserved honor - supposedly out of frustration against BUNY's coach, but then they turn around and bestow COY honors on Broadus. A couple of years ago, I thought Will Brown far more deserved the COY honor than Broadus this year, but he was denied it. Were the coaches and AD's so angry with him then that they couldn't bring themselves to honor Brown, yet they give it to someone whose reputation is tarnished at the very least?

 

Can you explain the discrepancies? (Honest question because I don't know the answers.)

 

 

No. I'm just going on what Nero told ESPN and the NY Times.

 

 

Said it before and I'll say it again...

 

Nero=Zero

 

Put it over something and it is still zero (ie. 0/3)

Put it under something and it is undefined (3/Nero)

 

It's not often I get to make math jokes...

 

How about our Lacrosse team?
