Bashing the coach is great way to keep pipeline open. How many great D1 high school coaches are out there? Diener is top dog no doubt about it. Past him the majority of ball fans have no idea.

I have already acknowledged that he is not a great technical coach.  But, the only other Division 1 coach in the state of Wisconsin that has exceeded what Collins has done is Diener at Vincent (who also had a bunch of D1 talent move through his program by the way).  And my guess is that there is a bit of jelousy with the other coaches in the area.

On the bolded part, no doubt.  Many coaches are upset with the "recruiting" that Memorial get's away with that others cannot.  Still, when you pick through that, you can get to the substance of their comments.  In many ways, Collins runs a very loose ship - ask Brendan Ortiz about that after the Regional game - where it is viewed as the "inmates running the assylum".

Oddly, I had thought that I was agreeing with your comment and am confused by the challenges.  Ah, well, everyone interprets things differently.  I just am not impressed with what I see and hear that comes out of the Memorial program.

I will leave it at that.  I have stated my point.  You don't agree, that is fine.

Doubt anything I state has any impact on Collins or future MU players, whatsoever.  But, Collins is not the key to the recruits and their college choices from Memorial.

MUMac--I did no realize you were so connected at MM, sorry.
