Did anyone catch this tidbit from the recent Valley News article?:
"Working against McLaughlin is that he was chosen for his job instead of current Cornell coach Brian Earl. The onetime Princeton associate coach has the formerly moribund Big Red in first place and will soon guide his squad in its fourth Ivy League tournament since he came aboard. Dartmouth has never qualified for the four-team even, which began in 2017."
Is that true, that we had Earl and McLaughlin in the running and the AD chose McLaughlin over Earl?

Cornell hired Earl a week before Dartmouth hired McLaughlin.
I have no idea what went on behind the scenes, or whether Earl had a preference between the two jobs.

Two things.
One, I can see the old AD administration being petty enough to not be so inclined to sign a Princeton assistant.
Two, McLaughlin had pre-existing relationships within the Dartmouth hiring apparatus.

Sometimes, the team's own social media unintentionally tells on the state of things. They just celebrated Dusan Neskovic for being the first Dartmouth men's player to score 20+ points in three consecutive games in EIGHT YEARS. That...should not be considered an especially impressive feat. (But congrats to him; he's trying to show up.)

And the reward for Neskovic was to only play 13 minutes against Yale? I don't think he saw the floor until the second half; did he violate a team rule or something?

I think all will be happy once the season is mercifully over...
While I'm sorry that things didn't work out, I'm not expecting McLaughlin to be the coach by the end of the week. Hopefully the team can put up some fight against Harvard tomorrow...

“These young men will go down as one of the greatest basketball teams in all of history,” said SEIU International President Mary Kay Henry.
Guessing Mary Kay has not watched a lot of hoops.

Dartmouth brought four guys to campus:
Billy Taylor
Dave McLaughlin
Mark Prosser
Dan Fischer
All four are current head coaches. Only Prosser has a winning record. Maybe Earl was in the running before taking Cornell but he never made it to campus.

Looks like they should have unionized earlier in the season.
Go, Local SEIU 560!
