NTK,

BTW - Sorry I forgot to say this last night. Thanks for the recap and I too love Gilmore's optimism with sights set high.

The situation with Gilmore sounds very reminicent of when Rick Carter took over in my freshman year. I roomed with a football player and I very clearly remember him saying one thing about the new coach the day I moved in:
"He's a winner!"

Kudos to Norbert Knapp and his son Jeff for a vey nice and well run affair.

Both coaches were optimistic and enthusiastic about the futures of their sports. Both coaches also spoke about their excitement about being part of HC. Coach Flaherty is from the area and said that when she returned home last Christmas for a visit, she went past HC and thought that if the job ever opened up she would love to go for it and couldn't believe how it worked out. Coach Gilmore brought his wife with him to the Lehigh game a couple seasons back "just in case" an opportunity ever arose and also expressed his appreciation and for this "great opportunity". Neither coach dwelled on the difficulties of turning around the programs, everything was upbeat about the student athletes, the coaches, the school, and our future. Mr. Regan was straight forward in answering questions, he was optimistic about chances for approval for the new soccer stadium, and thought the ECAC visit went very well.
Thanks, Norbert and Jeff.
