he is the one who has recruited the kids for the past 5 years. This guy is a joke and is getting lucky. If we keep him, we are doing a favor to all the NY college baseball programs. Just because he argues with umps does not make him a good coach. He did not play college ball, coached at Manhattan in mid 90's when they won 6 games in 3 years, then went to Fordham for the worst 5 years in Fordham history. What are you guys thinking??? -- Fordham Rams Basketball Message Board

You might be taken seriously if you put your name on this post, or at least posted a name that we'd recognize as a legitimate contributor here. Nick was at Manhattan for two years, not three, and was an assistant coach, not even assistant head coach. And he's undoubtedly doing a nice job with the team now. So you sound like just a typical uninformed and unknown poster abusing the anonymity of this board. (NT) -- JoltinJoe, Fri April 08, 2005 09:17:31
- So all you said to correct me is 1 year difference at Manhattan. My facts still stand. (NT) -- pleasethink, Fri April 08, 2005 18:19:34
  - No, you said he coached at Manhattan, implying far more responsibility than he actually had (as if he was responsible for the Jaspers' record). You've brought nothing but slander to this discussion. No wonder you want to conceal your identity. (NT) -- JoltinJoe, Fri April 08, 2005 21:06:51
    - So he had nothing to do with the terrible Manhattan records and the same at Fordham over the past few years? Get a clue, you idiot....who are you , Restiano's father? (NT) -- pleasethink, Fri April 08, 2005 22:35:30
      - how many times did u get cut from the team, pleasethink? sounds like sour grapes to me... and insulting one of the most perceptive posters on the board in JoltinJoe, bad form indeed... (NT) -- FU91, Fri April 08, 2005 23:42:21
      - "Pleasethink," your moniker is too inapt to ignore. Your first post was a slanderous, inaccurate and hysterical rant -- and it's been downhill from there for you. The baseball team, by all accounts, is playing heads-up, solid, fundamental ball. In the process, the team is doing a fine job representing our school, and winning some games. So why not reward the team by acknowledging its effort, and the fine job that our young coach is doing? The kids on the team members plainly like their coach, so in rewarding the coach, we'd be telling the team members that we're proud of what they are doing out there. You are one of those posters who make the student/athletes who read this board think that the Fordham alumni are, in the words of Spiro Agnew, nattering nabobs of negativity.

        Strike "members" at the beginning of the fourth sentence. (NT) -- JoltinJoe, Sat April 09, 2005 04:08:11
        Joe, 15-11, 4-2 is a nice start but just 6 conference games so far. Let's let this ride out before annointing this guy the new coach. (NT) -- ANt Hill, Sat April 09, 2005 10:21:36
        I can agree with that. That's why I said we should "consider" dropping the interim label. But whatever, we should acknowledge the fine job Restaino is doing. He took a program that had gone off the track, and he has it back on the track under some difficult circumstances. With no home games, and an interim coach, it could have been easy for the team to mail this season in. Restaino took a heap of abuse from the know-it-alls on this board before the season. They were wrong. very wrong, and they owe him an apology. (NT) -- JoltinJoe, Sat April 09, 2005 11:34:38
        I sense part of that animosity was that some, including me, feel that gallagher manipulated the situation, retiring so late, to ensure his guy got the job , albeit on an interim basis. That left a bad taste in many people's mouths. (NT) -- Ant Hill, Sat April 09, 2005 11:40:10
