What does parity have to do with it. No one here is bashing on
the "kids". Sowell didn't have a losing season. This coach has
had 3 in a row, when the program had 1 in 10 seasons before he
got here. We are not looking for national titles, we are looking
to be relevant and having winning seasons is part of it. I get
the fact that he made the tourney in his 1st yr, but those were
Sowell players. This coach has made it clear that he wanted his
own recruits, after running off plenty of Sowell holdovers. Well
this is his team in yr 2 and they have gotten worse. I don't
know you but maybe you enjoy watching this, the rest of us
don't. I support SB athletics with season ticket purchases, and
as a alumn I would like to see better for the school. I have
never called out a kid on this site but as for a grown man
getting paid to do a job you should take some responsibility for
what is going on. If I did my job that poorly I wouldn't have 4
yrs to fix it.

Parity has everything to do with it. I should explain to you
what that means in person. This is the guy's second recruiting
class. Give the guy a break. Go check out Scott Marr's and Don
Zimmerman's record in recent years. Nagle didn't run of
Sowell's recruits. They chose to transfer and play elsewhere.
Why should Nagle have allegiance to guys he didn't recruit.
This is Division I. He's entitled to recruit or bring back
anyone he wants. If you're so bitter about him and the way the
department deals with him, don't go to the games. I supported
Tiffany, I supported Sowell and I support Nagle. SHouldn't be
looking at it any less. Is Priore any less of a coach because
he won five games after winning 10 the previous year?

Priore has a track record, so one season doesn't define him. I
agree every coach wants his own recruits, but if you are looking
to win now you take players from wherever you get them. I will
continue to go to games and support the school but I do not have
to except what I see. If you are at the gms then you should be
hearing the same rumblings that I do in the stands. If you like
this coach then so be it, enjoy watching this mess. The school
has put a 100% commitment into athletics with top notch
facilities so I like many others feel that the excuses are old
and you need to put an emphasis on winning. This is not little
league were participation counts. I do appreciate the difference
of opinion though, and welcome the back and forth banter as long
as you don't take it personal cause I never do.

Captaindj21, this is sports, not a child or a sibling. You can't
expect blind allegiance from sports fans. If that's your way,
fine, but you can't expect it from others. It may or may not be
too soon to hold Nagle's feet to the fire, but my allegiance is
to the success of SB sports, not to any coach.
If it's any consolation, Navy under Sowell not doing any better
than SB this season.

Navy under Sowell is currently 13-24; most wins are over new or
bottom 10 programs. Some good showings against great teams
(Hop, Loyola) but ended up close losses. EXCEPT for a
mysterious 8-2 beating of JHU (2012), best win is Towson (2012)
or Colgate (2012).
Unfortunately, Richie Meade's final season at USNA was the same
exact story.

The school is trying to build a fan base across all sports.
Having back to back losing seasons doesn't help. If any team we
have started to slide over 2 or 3 years we would hear
grumblings it is the nature of the beast. So it is not just mens
lax under the gun. I have no fault with the players they want
to win as much as anybody . But if poor calls are being made by
the coach or his or her staff then that becomes a problem.
Nagle had a great record at Colgate and I believe they were
ranked his last two seasons at Hamilton. So why not SBU in
his own hometown actually ?
