It's possible there may be more changes coming to the coaching ranks in the SL, but here is the first one...
Chris Paul out as IPFW's women's basketball coach
FORT WAYNE, Ind. (AP) -- Indiana University-Purdue University Fort Wayne said Wednesday that it will not renew women's basketball coach Chris Paul's contract.
The Mastodons were 7-23 overall and 3-13 in the Summit League this season. Paul was 125-195 in 10 seasons as head coach, leading the team to a 20-11 record in 2010-11.

Denver and head men's coach Joe Scott have parted ways. Crazy to think how close they were to the SL Championship game.

I am a little surprised that Denver canned their coach. It appeared as Denver was playing better basketball at the end of the tourney and of course beat Omaha and should have beaten the Jacks.

Otzelberger is off and running with the SDSU program and it appears that things are not starting out very well at all in Brookings. Their fans were hot and cold on him coming in and by early indications the lack of head coaching experience factor could end up being a crucial over site by the hiring committee. Obviously it's early but no matter how good of a recruiter one is they still have to get 5 guys to play as a cohesive unit. We will see if that factor will always be lacking or if it is just a rough beginning.

Don't write them off yet. Honestly their only embarrassing game so far is the Wayne State game. Cal is a fringe top-25 team, UC Irvine went 28-10 last year, and Wyoming isn't an easy place to play.
Nice to know you're taking more of a 'wait and see' approach to these guys than Craig Smith's crew though.

Ok pessimistic. How about my following quotes about the Coyotes this year. You and many other only read what you choose to read and ignore things that don't support your own pre-conceived notions. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Drake thread
"Trey Burch-Manning was the most impressive new comer in the first half and probably the best Coyote on the floor overall. Mooney had some nice outside shots."
"They played GATA ball pretty well. They were hustling to the ball nicely. When Drake made their comeback towards the end they were composed and handled the last minute really nicely. Mooney was huge hitting two big time threes to give the Yotes the distance on the scoreboard to not allow Drake a tying possession down the stretch. scrappy play by the team overall. I thought going in that any win tonight was going to be a good win and a big win. Drake may be a weak Valley team but they are still a Valley team and this was still on their home court. I was fairly impressed and I give tonights performance a strong B."
The Bowling Green thread. I happened to have a difference of opinion than most on this game and was critical of this game but I said "We do need to give this team some time to gel. I will not judge this team completely until they get to the Summit League but I will still comment on the progress".
These are my comments on the Kent State thread
"That is one of those games that makes ya proud to watch the team"
"The Coyotes did some good things down the stetch. Up one with about a minute to go Hurst had a man's man defensive rebound where he just willed his way into the board. Then up one Mooney tried a 3 but it rimmed out and Flack had a very nice and athletic rebound tip in that wanted to come off the front of the rim but luckily nestled back in. Kent had a chance to tie with a three late but missed just before the buzzer and Kent couldn't foul in time. I was happy with the overall offensive effort as the Yotes looked smooth on that end of the floor. Mooney is going to be an opponent killer." -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
So Yotes do you read and see what you want to see or do you only comment on what you perceive as negative and that goes for everyone for that matter. As you can see I have had plenty of good things or perceived positive things to say about this team. I have been generally positive about 2 out of the 3 games that matter. I was critical of the Bowling Green game and I still don't think that was the best performance overall but did I say that game was the be all end all. I also specifically said that I it would take 5 to 7 games for the team to gel. I said that specifically as well. I say what I believe and don't believe in going with the majority if I don't believe in the majority. Too many people are followers and don't go out on a limb. I am not affraid to be brutally honest when it's needed but don't think all I do is whine or bring out the negativity because I just say it like I see it. It seems like you Yotes only see or read into things how you want to.
Oh and by the way regarding negative about everything. Read my comments in the Women's basketball thread and tell me that those comments are negative. If a team is losing they kind of deserve some negative talk.
Do you really want all fans to be kool aid drinkers. Isn't that kind of boring to you. If you really want an honest opinion of the Coyotes are you going to ask the Coyote insider cool aid drinkers or do you want an honest and unbiased opinion. With me you are gonna get the truth not a sugar coated opinion that most Coyote Fans will give you.
It's amazing as a society how we are getting less and less tolerance of diversity. We made progress as a country for a long time and now as a country we are going backwards. We just elected a bigot as our top leader that basically mocks everything that is not the status quo. We are talking about a guy that mocks women, the disabled, muslim military hero's, gay people etc. Basically anyone that is not a white male is mocked by him. The hatred for people that are different than them is amazing. People should embrace differing opinions not try to oppress them. College teaches having an opinion and having your own opinion. I feel that some people on this message board just want to pile on those that might seem to have different opinions then them. Get rid of anyone that doesn't share the status quo opinion. I guess that should be to no surprise because the attitude of many in this country to to be non accepting of things that are not exactly like them. I feel I have at least some leg to stand on as I was in the military for 12 years. I may not have been a former college athlete but I also know about team work and sacrifice. I think the contribution is just as valuable. I enlisted to help protect those that want an opinion and I believe everyone deserves one and everyone should have one.

I tend to agree with you,on respecting people with different opinions.I'm just a guest on this board,so it's really none of my business,and I may have overstepped my boundries a little getting involved in anything revelant to this board as sensitive as personal relationships,as I know very little about that.If it's any consolation,this isn't the only board where personalities clash,as I've witnessed it on many.I've no doubt your a true Cotote fan,but that's just me, others may disagree,that's their opinion.The election,well it's over and done, four years from now,you can hope for a different outcome.

CF - in case you are not sure what they are referring to, go back and read the MBB 2016-17 thread where everyone was discussing expectations. You state yourself that you are not as 'optimistic' as others. Everyone had the same info at that point, but you chose a more pessimistic POV. That's all - not an attack. (Please note I'm ignoring the hindsight is 20/20 portion where it is now very obvious the posts about this teams talent/athleticism is a big step forward from past years.)

It would be silly to write off anyone in SL after a couple weeks of playing games. But I'm really wondering what is going on with the SL? I don't have any 'last year vs. this year' stats to back it up, but it feels like the league is losing a lot of games to teams like Wyoming/Idaho/Montana/UNCG/etc. - other mid-majors that the league seemed to beat last year. Or maybe when I check scores, it is on a bad night? On a related note, after returning 0 starters (or 1, depending on how you look at it), the Yotes MBB is 5-0. And after a coaching change, losing all starters and possibly the best player ever, the Yotes WBB is 3-1. USD is doing it's part.

You are assuming that being less optimistic than others is being pessimistic which is not necessarily the case. I am guarded about this team more than anything. People have been way over the top optimistic expecting pretty big things. That might turn out to be the case but it also might not turn out to be the case. I really don't want to keep bringing up last year but after what I witnessed being cautious isn't exactly a misguided approach. I am taking the wait and see approach. I don't think there is anything wrong with holding back judgement. The way I see if I was more impressed with 2 games and less impressed with one game. No biggie just my opinion. I have seen over the top optimism time and time again from Coyote Fans about various sport more in particularly football and more often than not that optimism didn't end up panning out in the end.

I actually don't mind if the Summit goes through a cycle of being down for 2 or 3 years especially if in coincides with a Coyote resurgence. So far the league hasn't been real close to producing an at large bid so a down Summit means a better chance of the Coyotes going to the NCAA tourney. It's not like the Valley FC where nearly half the league goes to the playoffs.
