Easy pickins' with Bowling Green's new hire

Bowling Green's new assistant is Robert Frost. We could have lots of fun at poor Robert's expense, but we'd like to think we're above that frankly.

According to published reports, two candidates emerged during Bowling Green's hiring process, both so qualified that head Falcon Denise Van De Walle was sorry she couldn't hire both of them.

She considered the first candidate, who she imagined could help take her program deep into the post season. But the other candidate looked just as appealing.

"When you got right down to it," Van De Walle said, "each had the same experience, both fresh and ready to jump into the D1 game head first."

At one point Vandewalle said she thought she was ready to make a decision and thought "Well I can always change my mind." But she also knew that once she made a decision, she'd probably stick with it.

Bottom line, the veteran coach said, was that she had two great candidates. And years from now Van De Walle said she'll be telling people she picked the more obscure candidate, and it's been a big help to the Bowling Green Falcon volleyball program.

(Oh, and in case you're wondering, no, Frost has never forgiven his parents.)
