Confirmation of Earlier Information?

Hoopdirt.com is reporting about the Mount coaching situation today....

Strange situation at Mt. St. Mary’s right now. Early word was that interim head coach Matt Henry would not be considered for the job. I’ve now heard from two different people that not only is he in the running, he may actually be the front runner! I’ve heard that he is meeting with the president of the university today or tomorrow, and if he does get hired, and announcement could be made as early as this weekend. I’ll blog about this again as soon as I hear something.

For the record, to my knowledge I've never spoken with Mr. Hoopdirt. Also, unless he's spoken with the same two folks that I have, it sounds like the stories are very similar.

That's what I'm guessing. Just stealing stuff from here. What are the chances he actually has sources at the Mount?

Accused CBS writers Gary Parrish and Jeff Goodman of that yesterday via Twitter. Parrish wasn't very happy.

About theMountFanBlog

The Mount FanBlog is hosted by Ryan Raffensperger, a sports fan of all types and a Mount Basketball fan forever.

Raffensperger has loved the Mount as long as he can remember, which basically means 1981 - and remembers the true #GloryDays of Memorial Gym. He remembers the players from those days to the athletes who play at Knott Arena today. And if it's a #MountMayhem day, it's going to be a good day.

He holds a Syracuse University degree in broadcast journalism. He has broadcast high school, college & minor league levels of all sports in his past and regularly covered high school football for his hometown paper. So the blog does make a little sense.

Raffensperger worked professionally as a CPA for many years, but the chronic inflammatory immune disease Sarcoidosis made it impossible to continue that in a manner he found acceptable. Since then, he has spent more time around the Mount St. Mary's basketball program and values Coach Dan Englestad, his staff, and the players' impact on him. The blog was much more active, but the advent of Twitter (follow @themountfanblog) has made writing a little less important. But he hopes that the balance swings back in favor of more traditional content soon.
