As many of you know, Cornell University decided not to renew the contract of men’s basketball coach Bill Courtney. This obviously means the beginning of a new era for Cornell Basketball, and it also means the end of an old one. Here is a compilation of reactions to the dismissal across the Cornell community:
Barry Leonard:

That said, I wish nothing but the best for Bill Courtney. Was always accommodating to us media folks, and VERY well-respected on East Hill. — Nick Karski (@Nick_Karski) March 15, 2016
David Metzendorf:
Coach Courtney is the most genuine, insightful, & intelligent person I’ve been around. He’s been my mentor since I was a 19 year old manager — David Metzendorf (@Coach_Dooz) March 14, 2016
… And like the players he’s coached, he’s helped me grow as a person. Can’t thank him enough for the impact he’s had on my life — David Metzendorf (@Coach_Dooz) March 14, 2016
