re: Why I think Alleva's handling of the situation was a worst case scenario

You are correct. At any point in the last two weeks, he could have come out and said "Les is our coach, he is under contract, and like we do every year with every coach, we will evaluate after the season". But he didn't say a goddamn thing. He just let this bubble up for two weeks, and then acts like "wait nothing is happening" tonight.

Meanwhile the press is doing what the press does - digging up negative crap.

It's as if he learned nothing from how he handled the Lacrosse thing.
