Continuity IMHO is not that important because of the graduating class. This team will have an entirely different flavor next year anyway so I don't think we need to maintain too much continuity. I appreciate what Jay Young has done as an assistant but I'm in favor of going for a sexier hire. I'd be in favor of plucking an assistant from a big program with a proven recruiting record. Stony Brook is on the up and up- you have fantastic facilities and a very dedicated fan base.
As I've said numerous times, I have a lot of faith in Shawn to make the right move. I think we're a very appealing option for a young coach looking to establish himself. Plus, Stony Brook is such a great place to raise a young family. I'm excited for this next step for Stony Brook athletics.
