Welcome Coach Boals!

Thought this deserved a thread since we now know the answer to
the "now what?" question in the other thread.
Welcome to SBU, Coach Boals! I am excited about this hire. Thank
you to Shawn Heilbron and staff as well for what was undoubtedly
a stressful, challenging, and exciting search process.
From what I have gathered Coach Boals will be a quality addition
to SBU and the community. I will be right back in my seat next
season in full support.
Best of luck to SBU basketball as this new era begins.

I have no problems renewing my tickets, too.
Amazing how some people are so critical of this hire. I'm sure
Shawn didn't hire him without doing his DD....Even if Boals
brings us one quality player next season we will be right back
on top of the div.

There is a lot of whining on the Basketball Forum AE SB thread.
Most of it is in support of Jay Young because he was a DII HC
and an Associate HC.
No one mentions that Boals recruited D'Angelo Russell. Three
current NBA players backed him when he was named SB coach. He
convinced a top 35 recruit to go to Akron, a mid-major, when he
was an assistant there. He's been to the Final Four. Can these
people give the guy a chance?

I feel like these people are just friends/relatives of Young and
became Stony Brook fans because of the connection! Its
ridiculous the amount of venom being spouted towards the AD
Heilbron for picking Boals and towards Boals.. its like the HC
job was Young's birthright.

A few on the other boards are definitely related to Young in way
or another. But that's ok because when Boals brings in his first
3 star recruit, they will disappear and can be found on the
Scarlet Knights forum!
In Heilbron we trust!!!!!!!

By all accounts this is a great hire! I expected nothing less
from Shawn. I like the way this program is headed. As for Jay,
gonna miss him. Probably didn't have the personality needed to
run a program like SBU. No knock on him. Just his demeanor. Jay
landed on his feet.Lets not forget there is a business element
to this. It takes more that a basketball mind to run a
successful program. I agree with a clean sweep of everyone.

Hope you guys all tune in for the press conference today at 11.
I'm really interested to hear Coach Boals today!
Shawn posted the first breakdown with the team on Twitter- I'm
already getting pumped.

I tuned in late and only caught the last few minutes/final
question about staff and schedule. Hope the entire thing is
posted later for viewing....? Curious, any reactions from the
faithful if you saw it or were there?
