...is this a slap on the wrist for having escorts at the baseball party or what?
I'm failing to see how this incident "cost the whole team" for the entire season, considering that it took place last week.Originally posted by Stonewall D:
IMHO, tt is ashame that one person's behavior cost the whole team its season.
First, in the last week, the team lost 4 of the last 5. It also lost its head coach and its assistant coach. The team is limping into the post season. It was the worst possible time to remove a coach. All involved were affected by this action. To your point, the team has been steadily improving since we lost our last coach. A 30 win season is an outstanding accomplishment in baseball. The team could have achieved 35 wins, if this incident had not happened. Gill overreacted and has materially damaged the team. It will be years before UR baseball recovers, if he does something stupid like firing the coach.I'm failing to see how this incident "cost the whole team" for the entire season, considering that it took place last week.
I don't know any details aside from what I've read, but it seems as though McQueen should have handled it differently. Agree, this may be the final act in his career as UR's baseball coach. For whatever reason, we haven't gotten the results we thought we would under his supervision.
Impossible to say that without knowing all of the facts surrounding the situation.Originally posted by Stonewall D:

Per the article above, MacQueen and the assistant "were indefinitely suspended following a violation of the athletic department's code of conduct." That sounds like a firing to me.Originally posted by MolivaManiac:
I might have missed a memo. McQueen was fired?
SF- there is a difference between "suspended pending further review" and "indefinitely suspended."Originally posted by SFspidur:
Just like when Ododa was "fired" when UR indefinitely suspended him. Oh, wait...
