Tom Parrotta

Post by stuball888 »

It was bound to happen
with NIL and a loaded transfer portal it was just a matter of time before the carousel started with the assistant coaches
It will be announced soon that Tom Parrotta is leaving Hofstra to work for his old boss, Tom Pecora at Quinnipiac University
Tom Parrotta lives upstate near exit 17 on the New York Thruway. He is actually closer to Quinnipiac University than Hofstra university. Also his youngest daughter Luciana is looking to go to Quinnipiac.
At this point in his life, it’s a no-brainer
We wish him well

I hope they will have someone that works with developing bigs as the season progresses as well as Parotta did. It became an annual thing in recent years that Hofstra bigs showed very little early on and then grew more as the seasons went on, and Parotta had a lot to do with that.

Wait a minute, did I just fall for one of Stu's annual April Fool's jokes or is this real? :)

:lol: I should know better but well played this year. A little too obvious in past years but this one seemed plausible enough to be real, right down to the exit on the Thruway. :D

Yeah, I was going to say this year you had the portal and NIL going for you. Congrats, King Fool! A title well earned. :D
