On This Date in Stag History

January 26th 2009- The Fairfield Stags were defeated by the Manhattan Jaspers 65-60. But the big news happened after the game when Stags captain Jon Han was involved in an altercation with an assistant and was then suspended from the team indefintely. He would not play in another game for the Stags but still finished among the 1,000 point scorers.

Well, if you think about it this could have been the turning point of the Stags program. Cooley was not very successful in his first few years, but after suspending Han he gave off the impression to everyone that no one is better than the team. Out goes Han in comes Needham and the rest is history
