I stumbled upon this thread...guess I am guilty of not reading it initially because it is not a school or conference I normally follow. I see that was noted in one of the previous posts. Since my stumble, I have googled info about the situation with Finley and the AD and I am dumbfounded. Does anyone know what came of his firing? Did he sue the school? Did the AD face any ramifications for what he did? My next question is...they say they want to rebuild the program...rebuild what? They were on top before from what I can tell. Take them to the next level...what next level? They are a mid major and always will be but were a very good mid major (again, from what I could tell). Teams were competitive, kids are competing at an appropriate level for their ability, I assume kids were staying out of trouble and graduating? I just don't get it. I guess Finley is getting the last laugh. He seems to be doing well at his new school. Took a team that was 9-19/WAC 4-14 the year before he got there and has them, in three years, at 10-5/WAC 2-0 so far. I haven't read anywhere that he ran off the former coach's recruits, so I am assuming he honored scholarships and truly 'built' a program honorably. If you are a winner, you are a winner, regardless of anything. Finley sounds like a winner to me and shame on VCU for allowing this.

Wow this thread will never just go away. Hey did you hear USAV Men won the gold medal in the 1984 Olympic in LA!!! Yes, but when it looks like a change was made based on discrimination, it shouldn't go away. The program is definitely heading in a different direction, as the AD wanted.

The Roman's discriminated the Germanic tribes but I do need to read about it all the time to know it existed.
Basically, Finley got a bad deal; ok looks like he has landed on his feet. You guys are like the people on the freeway stopping traffic to look for an accident that was already cleaned up.

Well, I have nothing to do until spring season starts so I figured I would kick the dead horse that Phaedrus does not have in the race. Year 3 and no championships, another losing record and a first round dismissal. This is my last post to this topic. It is what it is. The brand of volleyball that I watched under Finley is gone. Twist this into another excuse. Losing such as winning is contagious and I don't want to catch anything. I Love hittherocks posts. Real recognizes real!! I'm out like VCU volleyball in the A10 ships.

Wow this thread will never just go away. Hey did you hear USAV Men won the gold medal in the 1984 Olympic in LA!!! What is your ****ing problem? Are you the AD at VCU or do you just hate gay people too? Every post you've made here has been disparaging the existence of this thread even though it seems like the people keeping alive have a genuine point (not just regarding Finley's firing but the problems with the new coach too.) Exactly why is it that you have such a problem with this discussion of all the inane discussions on VT (of which this is not one)?

How many times can you watch the movie Groundhog Day. For you it must be around 1 trillion times.
