Truth & Rumors

Please Accept My Apology

In the last issue of the Squash Ezine, we unintentionally used the word "on" instead of the word "to" in one of our article descriptions.

Normally, this would be a minor error. However, in this case, the mistake transformed a sentence from an accurate description of a video into one which included inappropriate innuendo.

I called the parties referenced in the article and apologized to them. And now I offer my apology to any reader who noticed the error.

Sincerely,

Joseph M. McManus

Help This Kid

This is where the system (NUSEA) lets you down.

You're smart.

You're a good kid.

You're poor.

You get selected to Squashbusters.

You get into a NESCAC college to play squash.

Your college is doing a training trip.

You want to go.

They aren't paying.

This will be your senior year.

In your junior year you went 15-8.

You want to go.

You swallow your pride and go to the internet.

You put your name and your face out there and ask for help.

No one answers.

NUSEA isn't helping you now, 'cause you're no longer their press release.

Bates Gets Four Wall Glass Show Court

Bates College coach Pat Cosquer understands marketing and promotion better than any other coach in college squash. He's the master.

The new glass court show-court he arranged will certainly be a game changer for the top level college squash program.

TRUTH & Rumors

Wishing Australia's Donna Urquhart a speedy recovery. The talented Aussie is taking time off from competition to recover. Word is she is recovering nicely after a successful surgery.
Squash Ezine released our college pre-season rankings here earlier this month. A smart reader noted Trinity's men will be hosting the national tournament this year and may enjoy a noticeable home court advantage.
Egypt's Hisham Ashour pulls no punches on social media. This week he declared on Facebook that 80% of coaches here in America are scammers, who have no idea what they are doing.

His comments here inspired many to chime in.
Maybe, Mr. Ashour will share some names from either his 20% list or, more interestingly, his 80% list.

Congratulations to Princeton Men's Coach Sean Wilkinson, who married Margot Webel this past weekend. They both played their college squash at Bates College.
Bowdoin College certainly builds leadership qualities. This year's women's team will have a noteworthy 6 captains. College matches are played with 9 players.
How can you not Like a place called Sneaky Pete's Squash Academy on Facebook here.
We are very confused by the upcoming Intercollegiate Doubles Championships this October 10-12.

According to College Squash Association (CSA) here, no college matches can be played before October 15.

But CSA and US Squash here are jointly sanctioning this tournament.
First, why are the intercollegiate championships happening before the season begins.
Second, how is CSA sanctioning a tournament before it is allowed to sanction a tournament?
Third, what penalties are waiting for any player/school who participates?
