All the very best to Billy. I always thought it was very strange that he was the only JvBK assistant that was NOT interviewed nor asked to provide testimony during the NCAA & Bona investigation of wrong doing.

Billy Mac the head coach of the Rochester RazorSharks, yikes! I wish him luck and will be interested in attending a game. Wonder if he'll consider any Bonas players? I hear Timmy Wynn is living and working in Monroe County. He'd make a great point guard, defensive stopper. Visit the Heart. -- TM

More on this, from Vinny Pezzimenti's column in Wednesday's Times Herald (linked below):

"The free agent situation," Jacob said, "it's really about relationships and networking."
Because of that, Jacob is interested in bringing in a number of local players. He has been in contact with former Niagara player Trevor Ruffin, former Pittsburgh and Turner Carroll standout Julius Page, Buffalo native and former Holy Cross forward Josh Sankes, as well as Canisius alums Brian Dux, a former star at Orchard Park, and Jon Ferris.
Jacob would also like to see 2005 UB grads Turner Battle and Mark Bortz try out.

But at the top of the list is former St. Bonaventure point guard and fellow Niagara Falls product Tim Winn.
"I'm highly interested in signing Tim Winn to be our leader, our quarterback," Jacob said.
Jacob is also hoping to persuade another former Bonnie, Caswell Cyrus, out of retirement. Cyrus, whose career overseas was cut short by injury, lives in Toronto and owns his own clothing line.

I heard Billy on the "Brother Wease" Show on 96 WCMF on Thursday morning. Of course, the scandal came up, at least briefly, and Bill didn't have to answer much to that (or conveniently, avoided it, to my glee). He did have some nice things to say about life at Bonas, though, and mentioned J.R., Marques and Vidal as playing ball overseas. He didn't mention anything about any Bona players having tryouts. Wease asked him about Shandue, who is obviously one of Wease's favorite players in Bona history.
