Has anybody ever noticed that since Diane Nolan appeared on the scene at FU the mens program has never been successful.
Pre - Diane Nolan men's hoop program was doing well. During Nolan a sad tale... She's been the constant thru the Barracat, O'Connor, Mitch, and Cormier demise. We've even had different A.D.'s during then- but Nolan has remained...I see a correlation...anyone else?

for men's poor shooting , bad scheduling questionable recruiting and poor bench decisions during the men's agmes /
Wow , I have been around for a good part of the referenced epoch ,I never noticed her near any of the men 's practices or game preparations .
I know maybe it 's her perfume . Perhaps , the men should play the opening game the women second that will absolve Tim O'toole and his predeceesors of their mistakes
FU fans have offered a wild list of excuses for poor play over the last 20 years but this has to be the best one .
IMO , 400 wins is terrific accomplishment Congrats to Coach Nolan

Having been close to Fred,Terry and their "demise" I could honestly say that you don't know what you are talking about. In fact over the past 12 years or so I sometimes wished she was the coach of the mens team. She runs a good program. Her players may not be the best atheletes but they are always prepared and fundamentaly sound. Congrats to Diane !
PS; I think we have had the same POPE over that time period. Maybe we can blame him!!!!!

Did you ever ask Terry or Fred how they felt abpout Diane? Maybe you should ask them...Diane is trouble. She has been and she will be as long as she is there.

The POPE may or may not be the same-but Father Kelley has presided over our entire run(walk?) in the MAAC... Thank goodness for O'Toole.
