I find it comical that NTKHC64 can champion the quality of Dick Regan's coaching hires during his tenure. Look no further than the baseball team as proof that "non-revenue" sports (as if any of HC's sports provide the school w/revenue) are simply overlooked under his administration. First, Mr. Regan hired Paul Pearl to replace Coach Whalen...as if coaching a hockey program that was in transition to Division I was not enough on the man's plate (read: a convenient way to save money). Pearl did as best he could given the circumstances. After it had become clear (even to Regan) that it was ridiculous for Pearl to coach two Division I programs, Regan hired 68 year old assistant coach Fran O'Brien. Pearl's teams had just made the playoffs 2 of the last 3 years, and Regan responds by giving the head job to a man that he would no doubt have to replace within the next few years (as it wound up, O'Brien stayed for 3 forgettable seasons). Was there ever a search for a new coach? An interview process? Did Regan even realize that he passed on an excellent assistant coach with stellar credentials and a good rapport with the players in Steve Englert? I'd assume not. I'm glad to see that Craig Najarian now has the job, but he, like the new lacrosse coach, face an uphill battle regarding budgets, recruiting, etc. There is no reason that every sport at HC should not be able to compete WITHIN the Patriot League. Dick Regan should be held accountable.
