Head coach Norm Roberts met with his athletic director Chris Monasch yesterday and was assured that he would be back next year. In four years he has had only one winning season and failed to make the Big East tournament last year.
However, he took over a complete mess from Mike Jarvis and inherited a program that was on probation. These days most coaches get three years to turn things around. If you are lucky you get four. In Roberts case he deserves five for taking on such a challenge. This year they have made progress while starting and playing as many as eight freshman.
On another note, heard Mike Jarvis on the radio the other day and it seems he has found God and wants another chance to coach. Should he be allowed to coach. Absoulutely!! But if college presidents are true to something other than the almighty dollar he should have to prove his desire to coach by starting in the lowest of levels. Maybe NJIT.
