I do not and will never understand the disgust for Willard. Took us from 2 to 21 wins in 3 years. Yeah, he left, but he got paid more. And let's not forget Cluess was out the door too not long ago. Difference was the pres. A little more complicated than that. |

Willard??? That cheater??? Grasso brought in Optimus, and TC brought in Grasso. TC also brought in Sean, I believe. It's true Willard got Scott, but TC has done just fine since. Also the MAAC has been one of the better RPI mid majors since I have been following Iona. (e.g. since Cluess was hired). Can't put Cluess ahead of Jimmy V though. Why are you referring to Willard as a cheater? |

Couple things.
Jeff got screwed and had bad luck. They fired his assistants. The 2 win thing was an anomaly.
Willard gets a bad wrap because it felt like he didn't want to be at iona. Not the most bubbly guy. Watching a 50 point game was painful.
He goes to seton hall and Lyons, bozella etc follow. Great for pat and tony but talk about raiding the cupboard.
Anyway I didn't find him likeable although he had a nice wife and kids.

Have to say I don't miss his offense. |

Have to say I don't miss his offense. Offense? Anything Pitino gives me the creeps, Wet Willie included. Cant imagine Iona ever keeping a coach that had that bar incident. See you guys at Billy Buds... LOL |

Why are you referring to Willard as a cheater? Probably thinking about his mentor Ricky dropping his drawers. |
