Hey I finally took the time to find you guys. My name is Dave Klipp, '79 University of Illinois. I've spent some time with some of you at games and even at MAAC tournaments when I lived in CT. I'm in California now, and my local mid-major, Sacramento State Hornets are less than a powerhouse even in the Big Sky. Their history is one winning season in twenty years or something like that. I'm sad to see the Stags have fallen on hard times.
I've watched a former Stag from a distance out here - Tim O'Toole is an assistant at Stanford. Actually there are quite a few former Stags and Stag coaches doing well. Cooley at Providence with Simon and Blaney. Fuller at Mizzou. Where is Akii Collins? Urgo at Penn State. Cormier is back at Dartmouth, carrying on their, ah, basketball tradition. Calzonetti is somewhere. Jerry Hobbie is special assistant to Larry Brown. Quartlebaum has an admin post at Kansas.

Hi to all. Its good to be back.
Good to hear from you again Menzies! I think the last time you posted the Stags were pretty good. Maybe you being back will bring good karma and better luck. Anyway, your right, there are lots of former coaches making their mark somewhere else. Actually it would be nice if the CURRENT coaches would do well while here. But to add to the list, Aki is at Memphis. Calzonetti is currently at LIU. Also, former Cooley guy Carmen Maciarello is at Boston University. Another one, Rick Carter is at Xavier. Let's see, who else. Oh yeah, Kevin Clark who was here a couple of decades ago is at Towson. And former student volunteer Luke Murray is at URI. And another former assistant (back with either Mitch or Cormier) Steve Clifford is the head coach of the Charlotte Bobcats of the NBA. One more, Brian Nash who was here for one year with Sydney, is at Duquesne.
