When Lesley going online with a Men's team in 2005-06, I count 11 men's teams and 13 women's teams. St Joseph's Maine is an affiliate in Baseball.
Has the independent St Joseph's Maine submitted a bid to the NAC or been invited by the NAC to join?
The 12th men's team would allow the NAC to have divisions like the women.
The Men's side is going with divisional play this season. In the west will be Mount Ida, Elms, Becker, Johnson state, and Castleton State. In the east will be Lasell, Maine Maritime, Thomas, UMaine-Farmington, Husson and Thomas.
In 2005-2006 Mount Ida will move to the east and Lasell and Lesley will be seeded into the west.
St. Joes has not been invited to join the NAC as a full member
Jason, Thanks!
hey sully did u guys get any recruits from Maine this year?? I heard Erskine didnt return too, what does the team look like this year?
Kyle,
Jesse has decided to....well to be honest I have no idea what Jesse was thinking. Ron is playing this year, as last year he decided not to play. We'll be okay, McGaughran is going to have a very good year. To be honest I really don't know, its been a very injury riddled first few weeks of practice. We're starting to get some of the guys back. As for incoming freshman (I still count Ron Lane as a frosh) we didn't get any from Maine. Which means I am of course working on getting some for next year
A long-time and first-rate college basketball web site
www.collegeinsider.com will be covering Division II & Division III basketball this season. The site will profile Division II & III coaches and programs. The DII and DIII report will also provide news and notes and will be updated each week. The first article was written about Jack Bennett, head coach at UW-Stevens Point and will continue to promote some of the great work and people that make up Division II and III college basketball. I hope the great fans of D3hoops.com will become fans of this terrific college basketball web site.
Will anyone ever post on here? I really want to know how good Farmington is and the NAC will, in all liklihood, get an AQ this year. A big league with competitive teams and no chatter? We could use some input here.

D3hoops Fan's (Poster's) Top 25 Poll next year?
Attn:
I am currently thinking about running a fan's poll for the Top 25 starting next season (may not have a poll until the new year, to avoid previous year's bias, among other things). I am looking for posters who are knowledgeable not only about their teams, but about their conference and even other conferences, and having a familiarity about other regions as well. Obviously, there will be some bias towards the teams you know, but it is very important to become familiar with other teams from other regions of the nation. Though this is a Top 25 poll for fun, it is important to take it seriously and not just vote your team #1 just for the sake of it. I also ask that you not miss sending in your ballots any week. It's not a pick em league where you simply go 0-25 for the week! Ballots would be submitted by Sunday night/early Monday morning, prior to the official D3Hoops poll coming out. This poll would be strictly independent of the official poll.
If you are interested, feel you qualify, and are willing to take this seriously, to a point, please email me to show your interest. Include in the subject line: Poster's Poll, or something like that. Also include your handle, since I most likely won't know your handle from your real name (email address), the conference/team and region you would "represent". I'd like to get at least one poster from each region.
Thanks.
Elms topped Lasell 70-66 to get to the big dance!
Congrats to coach Silva and all the boys in Chicopee.
Six years from inception to the tournament...great job!
It is time to find out who is in... and who is out.
Whose bubble has been burst and who is wearing Cinderella's glass slippers.
It's Selection Sunday... and tonight there will be a special "Hoopsville" as the 2005 NCAA Men's and Women's Basketball Brackets are announced... LIVE on our air!
The Road to Salem and Virginia Beach officially starts tonight! It plans to be a huge night... as 50 womens and 48 mens teams are officially invited to the dance and a chance at a national title.
Some teams already know they are going (thanks to winning their conferences) and some think they are going, but there are always surprises.
So tonight, we will break it all down. Starting at 8:30 PM EST, we will take a look at who is definitely in, who might make it, who will be disappointed, and what match-ups you might want to look forward to seeing later in the week.
Then at 10:00 PM EST... we will broadcast LIVE the Women's Selection Show so you can find out when we do... the 50 teams on the Road to Virginia Beach.
That will be followed by the Men's Selection Show at 10:30 PM EST - when 48 teams find out what their Road to Salem will be like.
After those selections... we will go over it with a fine-tooth comb and find out who we think are the surprises!
And throughout the show, we will hear from different regions with live reports and talk to coaches that have made surprising moves into the tournament.
Of course, you can listen in thank to
Goucher College.
We suggest you try and use the low-bandwith signal which will require you to have
Real Player and selection the
28K version of the show.
At the same time, you can listen to the Broadcastmonsters.com version, using
Windows Media Player (go to the "
Hoopsville" page for more information).
And you can share your opinions and questions with us, live on the air.

Again... it all starts tonight at 8:30 PM EST.
I have heard that the Lesley men's team is going to be stacked and possibly a favorite to win the conference. Their coach is the coach from tabor academy and i think he also assisted at St. Bonaventure. I have heard that they are bringing in some former d1 and d2 players. Most of them on the older side. Tobe Britton from Northeastern is suppose to be a major factor. Alost they have a couple other guards who will be very good in D3.
Why did Coach Harvey resign at Lasell? Can anyone offer any insight?
I'm going to post here just so, hopefully, that little 'new' tag that shows up next to the NAC board on the Northeast region page will go away.
Let's see if it worked...
Ha Ha.
Success
We can all go back to ignoring the NAC now.
looks like lasell should beat the crapola out of everyone this year again.
Who is in this league?
Newbury College beat Lesley by 3 last night.
http://www.nacathletics.com
that will tell you who is in the league
Lesley actually started off decently for the year i thought, beating Framingham state, and almost beating Colby (NESCAC). But now it seems like they have lost a couple players who were playing before. Wonder if they are hurt, or quit. Anywyas i have a feeling Lesley wont be hanging around too much longer....
this league isnt doing all that well as a whole this year.
This league never does well as a whole, although Lasell seems to be having a decent season. If they get beat out for the AQ, that's a huge upset.
We'll be looking for some serious shakeups in the next few years and the NAC will be ground zero for lower tier teams looking for a shot at an AQ.
just wanted to give this conference some posts .. LOL who is going to win this league this year?? Lasell or Elms??
Who's wasting posts in here? I was hoping to see if we could go a year without one. Now we have to start counting all over again.
haha.. elms beat lasell easily by 10 earlier.. lesley beat lasell last night.. lasell has now lost 5 in a row.. i think their reign on the almighty powerful NAC is over.
Lasell didn't win the NAC last year; you're a little late proclaiming the end of their reign.
oh yah u are right.. my bad.. forgot that elms won last y ear..
my mistake..
will elms beat norwich?
I picked Elms; I think they have the stronger squad and the trip to Norwich isn't that bad for them.
elms i think didnt play to their potiential and choked.. should have been a way better game.
Agreed.
Elms definitely did not play their best
Elms was strange this year. I felt with a backcourt of Williams, Ancrum and Davis they should have been killing teams. I think they might have lacked a little bit of chemistry or something. I feel like they actually took a step down from last year.
I saw Elms this year many times as a student here. They definitely had a problem with chemistry. Also, Renato , one of their best players was hurt 13 games into the season. This killed any inside game they had. They did not play well at Norwich and still had opportunities to win if Willaims did not miss a couple wide open layups and they made freethrows. I think they'll be in the thick of things next year if they can create the type of chemistry they had last year and stay healthy.
I saw that williams play once. He is a darned good player, how did he end up at elms?
All-Around
"DD" Williams was at a junior college in Arizona but is from hartford,ct. I'm not sure how Coach Silva found him but I know we have two other players from Hartford. He's a great talent but was left off the 1st team all conference. I have no idea why. Coach Silva has been able to get some decent talent here somehow over the past few. I'm hoping they find a legit big man for next year.
Lasell, Mt. Ida and Lesley have all applied to the GNAC. Only Ida and Lasell have made it to the next stage. If those two got into tthe GNAC, the NAC would be really hurting.
I heard a rumor that the Lesley coach left after one year. Anybody know about this?
No one cares about the NAC.
1) Agreed, no one cares about the NAC.
2) Lesley job posting: http://lesley.interviewexchange.com/jobofferdetails.jsp?JOBID=3806&CNTRNO=1&TSTMP=1147437158558
3) No one cares about the NAC
how does mt. ida and lasell getting into the GNAC affect this league?
My first thought is that losing Mt Ida is one less football school in the NAC on its way to getting the Pool A bid for football. That really hurts football's Pool A bid. IMHO, the only hope for those schools to get a bid was thru Pool A. Their independent status keeps one-half of a Pool B bid open for the ACFC types.
One needs 4 core schools and then needs 3 more affiliates playing as a conference for 2 years. The NAC could have gotten Maine Maritime to come back from the NEFC to join Becker, Husson and Mt Ida which are independents in football but NAC members.
Then all they would have needed would have been 3 more schools to affiliate. The NAC could have had a Pool A football bid as soon as 2008 if they had put the conference together over the winter. (I realize that that smacks of the Thomas More-Presidents AC scenario. Okay, 2009, if they had done it like Menlo and the NWC.)
Officially, I am waiting for the press release. As soon as you see it, please post it. Thanks for the update!
Do you think that it was a geography issue? Newton MA vs Maine?
I think that the NAC needs Maine-Presque Isle to keep up the numbers. Maybe that chased the Massachusetts teams out.
Did Lesley get asked as well?
There's going to have to be an all-Northern NE league sooner or later. It seems inevitable to me.
Hoops, I don't know the mission and vision issues in the northeast, but I thought that what I had seen in the NAC, with respect to its growth and development, was what that part of the country would need.
I need some help with the Mission and vision stuff in the Northeast, so bear with me.
The NESCAC is the NESCAC.
The MASCAC is the MASCAC, Massachusetts State schools.
The Little East is the Little East, other New England schools, all public.
After those 3, it seems that there should be another big private school conference.
What about travel? How far is too far? One hour? Forty-five miles? Which schools would realign by football? Which schools see themselves as the next tier below the NESCAC?
Please help me. All opinions appreciated.
If there were a completely clean slate, who would be invited to play where? All coed? One geographic location? Football? Academics? Private vs Public?
That is exactly the way it lays out.
You have the NESCAC at the top and then the NEWMAC, which is a smaller, very rich, not quite so presitgious but damned close, conference.
The LEC and the CCC have lately been battling out for bragging rights among the "other conference" one is private, one public. They are pretty set, although there might be a change or two, I don't see anything too serious because they are scared of losing an AQ.
The GNAC has some good schools with academic chops that is working hard to improve its athletics.
Then you have a whole bunch of "others" with a huge range of mission/vision/academics issues. It is those schools that need to get things together first and then let the changes happen up the chain. If the GNAC really solidifies, then there might be no more hope for major reallignment.
However, if I hear things right, the GNAC is looking to drop a few schools, which would then spur the change. Gordon is looking to get into the NEWMAC as the eighth school (for men). Anna Maria would like to get out of the CCC and into a league in which it could be more competitive with what it has to offer.
You bring up the point about the NAC being a Maine conference and it is, which is leaving the MASS-CT-RI schools with less resources nothing to work with. That is why I'm predicting two lower-tier conferences developing, one focused in the north and one in the south.
As far as I can tell, football has little implication on moves in NE; its just not a big sport. Basketball is probably number one, with Soccer and Baseball being the other movers in the region.
i think you could see these teams as a new league in New england (newbury, daniel webster, mitchell, anna maria, becker, lesely, regis, albertus magnus).
If I were named Grand Master of New England Division III for a day and could re-arrange conferences based upon a combination of things, mainly a break in public/private schools, and geography I would come up with

I think you guys got the geographic issues right, but there are still some mission/vision issues that just won't work out that way.
The NEWMAC won't even give Endicott a sniff in the next two decades. EC was a two year school just a few years ago. The NEWMAC will need them to build a reputation and increase their academic credentials before they get in. Even Gordon is on the edge at this point.
The other one I see is Colby-Sawyer. No way they leave the CCC for a far less competitive league. More likely is the CCC to drop a few schools (like UNE and AMC).
There has to be a consolidation of Maine schools, although St Joe's is too good to end up there. You're still going to have some schools with longer travel schedules, but that's not necessarily a bad thing. I'm more concerned about schools getting into leagues where all the teams will have similar commitments to their athletic programs. It's ok to not be heavy recruiters, its just hard for an athletic program to survive when everyone else in the league puts more emphasis on it than you do (see Anna Maria).
my only thought on that is that committments can change, you can bring in a new president with a new vision, a new coach, new athletic director, etc.... and change the landscape of a school's athletic fortunes.... it was not that long ago that WPI was not a very competitive team, and now they are becoming a D3 powerhouse... but geography, and the public/private breakdown will always remain the same
In my view, the NESCAC stays the same. The NEWMAC adds Gordon soon, although maybe not this year. The MASCAC has to stay the same since basically the State of Massachusetts has told them to do it this way. I don't see the LEC changing either; they enjoy a pretty good reputation in the region and they are a really good fit together.
The GNAC now has 12 members, which is a number they'd like to keep, however, the addition of a travel date to St Joe's in Maine might make the Vermont schools and Albertus Magnus look elsewhere.
This is where it gets interesting.
If the NAC can lure UNE away from the CCC and Rivier and Daniel Webster from the GNAC (which the GNAC wouldn't be too sorry to see go), they can put together a seven team league in or close to Maine. Presque-Isle might be an option, but they're already 3 hours from Husson and that's the closest school. It's a stretch to think the Nashua schools will buy into this, but if the GNAC "encourages" them to go, it could work.
Then you have a western NE thing going on with Johnson State, Norwich, SVC, Green Mountain, Castleton, and Elms. WNEC would have fit perfectly as the 7th team here, but with their move to the CCC (who knows why the CCC approved that; it makes no sense), they probably aren't coming. You could pick up Becker, for example, or you could have the east and west function as divisions of one NAC, pretty similar to the current composition. This is probably your best option: 13 teams with a 7 and 6 divisional structure (7 and 7 for women with Bay Path staying).
That leaves the GNAC with Emerson, Emmanuel, J&W, Suffolk, Mt. Ida, Lasell and St. Joe's. Which is all they really ever wanted anyway. Pull in a local team like ENC for eight. (They have Pine Manor for women and could add Wheelock for ten, although Wheelock isn't much of a program, it would make the numbers work out well for all parties.)
The CCC now stands as CSC, Endicott, NEC, Wentworth, Curry, Salve, Roger Williams, WNEC, Nichols, Anna Maria (who wants out) and Regis (women only, might be going co-ed).
Anna Maria, Lesley and Becker become leftovers. Add Newbury and Mitchell, then pull Nichols, Regis and Albertus Magnus for 8.
That leaves a few women's only schools (Mt Holyoke, Smith and Wellsley stay with the NEWMAC and add Simmons for 8 men 12 women).
This is all predicated on a lot of things (the big one is Regis going co-ed), but it better fits the mission/vision of schools rather than just the geographic locations. Do I think it will happen? No way, but at least this model is realistic. I just don't believe anyone would be willing to blow up four conferences and start from scratch.
After all that, the moves would look like this:
NESCAC: unchanged at 10.
MASCAC: unchanged at 7.
LEC: unchanged at 8.
NEWMAC: adds Gordon and Simmons, now at 8 for men, 12 for women.
NAC: adds Green Mountain, UNE, DWC, Rivier, SVC and Norwich; loses Becker, Lesley and Wheelock, now in two divisions 7 and 6 for men, 7 and 7 for women.
GNAC: adds ENC and Wheelock; loses DWC, Rivier, SVC, Albertus Magnus and Norwich, now at 8 for men and 10 for women.
CCC: loses ENC, Nichols, Regis, Gordon, Anna Maria and UNE, now at 8.
New Conference: Becker, Anna Maria, Albertus Magnus, Nichols, Mitchell, Regis, Lesley and Newbury, now at 8.
Independent: Presque Isle

A school's direction can change, but generally a school with a 100 million endowment has different priorities than one with a 10 million endowment. That's what we refer to when we say mission/vision.

I will read them and any more tonight! :)
Thanks for the info. I had completely forgotten the NEWMAC. It does appear that the shuffling will occur at the bottom with only very selective cherry-picking occurring in the top-level conferences.
The thoughts on the MASCAC were interesting. They could leave the NEFC, add an affiliate or two, and have an AQ if they wished. Your comments about football in New England are instructive.
The Little East has a nice compact 8 team conference. Is there really that much momentum for the LEC to expand?
And poor Presque Isle...they are even more isolated than Sul Ross State. Sul Ross is 5 hours away from 4 other schools, but at least you can zip down the interstate quickly.

There isn't much incentive at all. They have a solid foundation where they are. In terms of athletic programs, teams like Roger Williams or Colby Sawyer might fit in for expansion, but then you have the public/private issues that come along with it. I doubt the LEC is even thinking about shaking things up. They've got a good thing there.

And poor Presque Isle...they are even more isolated than Sul Ross State. Sul Ross is 5 hours away from 4 other schools, but at least you can zip down the interstate quickly.
Well, Presque Isle is about 265 miles from Bates and Bowdoin, 215 from Colby and Thomas, 160 from Husson, 200 from Maine-Maritime, 240 from Farmington, and about 300 from UNE, St Joe's and SMaine.
Those may not seem too far for a guy from Texas, but you have to remember that Presque Isle is 35 miles off Interstate 95, which I believe has a speed limit of 55, even though it passes through towns like T17-P12 and other unpopulated sections of the state that have just been named after grid squares on some cosmic map. Technically you can move pretty quickly on those roads, what with the unihabited isolation and all, but you also have to be very alert for the moose. Just north of Orono there is a sign that says "Moose Crossing, next 83 miles" or something to that effect.
The big problem for UMPI is not the distance to other d3 schools, but the fact that there are no other non-d3 schools close to them either. UMaine is one of the closest, but its D1.
Google Maps says Husson is only 3 hours 21 minutes and although I haven't had a ton of driving experience up there, I would think 2:45 is about as quick as you could do it in a large passenger vehicle.
I think Sul-Ross had it about the same, in terms of isolation. In both places, people are used to long distances for anything.
Sul Ross State has been a charter member of the antecedent TIAA and the ASC. They are a known quantity, and the travel works both ways. Yes, they are a state school, but the isolation does not convey any advantages that cannot be rationalized. They have been a loyal member and shall continue to be a loyal ASC member. Alpine is a beautiful city in the high desert at 4500 feet above sea level. The dominant feature of the landscape is "sky". There is lots of big money moving to Alpine and buying 10,000 to 100,000+ acre ranch sites. They are developing a nice artists' community there also.
We visited Maine about 1992, to show our kids New England. The travel up there impressed me as slow and more difficult than West Texas. I am quite respectful of the challenge that they have
I am somewhat surprised that the GNAC let lasell and mt. ida in. Nothing against the schools athletic wise, but in terms of the academics. Also, I heard rumors in the past that Emerson was trying to get out of the GNAC. Academically wise Emerson is up there with Wheaton, Babson and those type of schools. May that be in the forseeable future?

I am somewhat surprised that the GNAC let lasell and mt. ida in. Nothing against the schools athletic wise, but in terms of the academics. Also, I heard rumors in the past that Emerson was trying to get out of the GNAC. Academically wise Emerson is up there with Wheaton, Babson and those type of schools. May that be in the forseeable future?
All-around, might the addition of Mt. Ida and Lasell be geared towards maintaining an AQ bid in "all" sports?
On an arbitrary D-3 continuum, 1 to 100, NESCAC might be 90's, NEWMAC high 80's. The GNAC might be solid 70's. If they were to lose one of their high 70's to another conference, they have to find replacements to keep the AQ. That may be where Lasell and Mt Ida come in. They were highest on the draft board, to use an NFL analogy. :)
Yeah, a lot of the considerations had to do with baseball, if my mind serves me right. I think I heard that they were looking for schools willing to add baseball. There was also talk about consolidating the NE teams that had men's volleyball, which both Lasell and Mt Ida. Then there is the geography of getting two more schools in the suburbs. I think if the GNAC does anything, it will be to kick out the schools farther away and try to consolidate around the metro area.
As far as Emerson, I've always wondered why they were in the GNAC, but it may have had something to do with not having their own facilities. As that becomes a reality in the near future, they may try and squeeze Gordon out of the NEWMAC.
New Lasell men's coach:
http://www.d3hoops.com/notables.php?item=594
Congrats to Coach Galletta. The whole situation at Lasell is terrible though. He is walking into a mess. From what I hear the athletic director has no clue as to what she is doing. I alos hear there is a number of guys transferring. It is lousy what they did to Coach Desantis he is a good coach but never given a chance.
Not pretty!!
Lasell---3 coaches in three years, what's going on there? It's alarming, but let's wait and see if anybody does actually transfer before we say that it's going to be a mess over there. There was obviously something going on there with administration and the former coach, but being an outsider, it's tough to say that the AD doesn't have a clue. They had a lot of success in the past few years and the same AD was there.
what happened to coach desantis?
word has it he resigned b/c the AD made a whole bunch of wild charges. the guys were shocked by everything b/c they had a lot of respect for coach d.
clearly, there success in the past has nothing to do with AD. as the admission standards have tightened the success has gone down. everyone knows the school for what it is. A SECOND CHOICE!! the school is a joke, the AD an even bigger joke and the team will struggle with all the defections.
Some harsh words towards Lasell. You really can't sit their and say that there will be all these defections when you don't know. You can guess or even hope that there will be, but until the season starts, you shouldn't be posting rumors. You have no facts to back up your claims. This is a forum to talk about basketball, not to bash schools, keep your bitterness to yourself.
Thats too bad. I thought coach d. did a nice job and he worked hard for that school. I thought Coach Harvey was terrific as well... and Tufts has made major strides since he went to Medford.
Do you really think that harvey was the reason for Tufts success last year? C'mon. Maybe it had to do with the fact that Coach Sheldon has been working hard recruiting over the last few years and it's finally starting to pay off. I think it's just a coincidence that harvey happened to be there for it.
i have been reading and never had the urge to respond...
but cmon...ya, 3 coaches in 3 years, the guy before desantis was there for a while, started the program, he left to move on, not the ad's fault, they made the job full-time for him, and he still left, the last guy was there for a year, he resigned, check out their website, the rest of the coaches have been there for a while with mixed success in the NAC, the ad cant be messing up all the time...the new guy has been in the program for the last 2 years as an asst., so he must have some idea of the school and program...desantis had a losing season, again not the ADs fault...let the new guy prove himself
gimmie a break fanatique. mixed success?? half there teams barely had winning records. only two teams made it to the conference finals in one of the worst leagues in the country. two ecacs teams are you kidding me!! you cant judge the desantis' win loss record by one year. he was never given the chance to develop the program. not for nothing the ad should have let the old guy prove himself.
wow, why do you think desantis would want to prove himself in the "worst league in the country", sounds like according to you desantis got out when the getting was good...did desantis make the conference finals? sounds like he didnt need a chance to develop a program, from what i see, that was the first losing record in a while for the men's team, and according to you, in that league he just needed to show up...
Well if the teams are getting to the playoffs, or making the ECAC tournament, isn't that mixed success?? Bottom line is that the hoop team had a losing record. Now whatever went on between the AD and the coach is between them. But you said it yourself, the AD should have let him stay and work through it, but wasn't it you that said the coach resigned?? Sounds like to me he could have stayed, but it was his choice to resign, or was it the AD's choice. Please pick one, you can't have it both ways.
their schedule was murderous and they played with six freshman. the conference is top heavy...certainly they did not have the success they had in the past. mixed success...that is little or no success. they were lucky to have team's with winning records. clearly there on a downward slope.
you must be a good friend to coach desantis and he is lucky to have you...but your argument about lasell college having "little or no success", it just seems too harsh, half the teams, your friend coach d's team included, had under .500 records, the other half were over .500, that seems pretty fairly mixed to me...2 of the school's coaches got Coach of the year honors in their leagues...again not coach d...leave lasell alone your friend resigned...if he stuck it out then maybe you would have an argument
Okay, again you are trying to have it both ways, it really doesn't work like this. Please pick an arguement and stay with it. You are saying in one breathe that the NAC is a joke and anybody can win it, yet the next breathe you are saying that it was the schedule that was the problem last year. Which is it? Last time I looked, even though the NAC "sucks", Lasell didn't win the league, and actually lost to some teams they had no business losing to. Maybe I'm reading from the wrong Lasell website, but it looks like they lost to Lesley (1st year program) 3 times last year. That really doesn't sound like a program that was doing a lot of good things last year!
truth be told, I know him only through the players. apparently, you have an affliation to the college b/c you are so defensive. he is not a friend but what i hear he was not given an option. anybody can go on the Nac website to see the school the standing. the school and the conference are weak. good luck in the gnac..those schools will eat you alive. from what he was not given an option there was obviously something between him and the adminstration. if you look at the records of the winning all the coaches have been there for awhile. sad state of affairs.
CCCalum take a look at the non-conference records of their opponents. Amherst, Williams, Trinity, Brandeis, Salem St, WPI etc....Try finding someone who played a tougher schedule. Clearly you and fanatique have no basketball knowledge only trying to defend the school, adminstration and new coach!!!

That might be close to a TOS violation. You might want to watch that.
Okay, not sure what a TOS violation is, but i'll try to not commit one here.
I agree that Lasell played a ridiculous schedule, probably one of the tougher ones in the NE region, i'm not debating that. This whole arguement started with your speculation of the happenings at Lasell, and I jumped to their defense because I don't think it's right that you are speculating on things that you have second hand knowledge of. I'm defending them, and you are bashing them, how is that any different. My basketball knowledge really doesn't come into play here. I"m giving you facts about the LC hoop team and you continue to rip apart their league, administration, new league, so really, I think it's your hoop knowledge that is coming into question here. Twice I've tried to tell you that you are contradicting yourself, but you have no rebuttal for that, you just continue to rail against Lasell, and I don't think it's fair that you are doing that, that's why I jumped to their defense.
no affiliation with the college, but ya im on the NAC site, so i am defending the college and the conference...
so you know the players on the team, why did they go there in the first place? another coach was there when they were recruited, and if they respected coach d, arent they disappointed that he deserted them?
It stands for Terms of Service, basically the rules of the site. You can access them from the front page, but it basically says do not be defamatory or bash another poster.
Saying that clearly someone has no basketball knowledge (no matter how true or untrue it may be) is not helping anything. Certainly a d3 educated person should be able to come up with a better way to disagree with someone and not resort to hurling insults.

No offense, but this doesn't fly. Either you DO know him (because you are him) or you are impersonating him with your e-mail address.
Frankly, I don't want to know which it is. I would hope that you read the terms of service and noticed that your e-mail address is visible to every registered user.
Not too bright buddy. I just looked at your email address as well. After re-reading all of your posts, it has become very clear who you are. NOT cool.
>:(
The goal has been accomplished. The Athletic Director made false allegations against me and forced my hand. I dont care how it looks.
hoop fan,
haha, are you freaking kidding me? Going through the past posts that you put on this website make me laugh knowing now that you are in fact the former coach. Why should anyone believe any of your posts, your credibility has been severely damaged. I think it would be best if you just stop posting and let it go.
I guess that's exhibit A on one of the troubles with division 3 sports. There are just so many teams with small budgets that at some point there are coaches hired who just shouldn't be working at a college level. I'm not talking about coaching performance, because Lasell didn't have a lot to work with and I think he did the best he could on the floor. However coming onto a message board and pretending to be someone else to defend yourself is quite a few rungs below proper conduct for a college basketball coach. I'm not sure what the purpose was? Maybe to get the word out that he was forced out of the job? If that was such a big concern for you, maybe you should have let them fire you rather than resigning.
I don't know the situation so I can't say whether the whole thing was justified or not, but your response to this mess certainly has not been. I don't know how many people would have cared one way or another about whether you were right for the AD was right, but I think many of us are less inclined to believe you after this display.
I certainly wish you the best in the future and hopefully we can put all of this behind us.
A few thoughts:
1) Posting Up is an archived record with public access. If Coach DeSantis tries to get hired as a basketball coach at some other school, the posts he made here in the past few days could come back to haunt him.
2) Who in the world would try to cast himself as an uninvolved bystander in a situation like this one after registering himself under his own name? It's like trying to rob a bank while wearing a work shirt that has your name tag on it.
3) Making a public statement about your former employer that "the school is a joke" is a very, very bad thing for your future job prospects.
4) Lying about your status -- that you don't know the coach, but have secondhand knowledge about his situation through knowing his players, when in fact you are the coach -- is as disgraceful as it is embarrassing.
It isn't unprecedented for a coach to come on to this site and post anonymously in defense of himself or his program. And it isn't unprecedented for a coach to get caught at it. But the fact that it casts such an extremely poor light upon both the coach's intelligence and his ethics makes you wonder why any of them are foolhardy enough to try it in the first place.
Maybe I made a mistake by hidding by an alias but do not call my ethic in to question. I could care less if I ever work again. who the hell cares what you all think anyway...
Hmmm.......not sure what to make of that. Digging the hole a little deeper, aren't we??
It's not so much what we think, but most of these boards are monitored quite regularly by athletic administrators at a number of schools. They usually do not post, but they remain knowledgable of the goings on. I think that is all Greg was referring to, because you're right. It's doesn't matter at all what any of us think.
maybe it is someone not tha tcoach made a fake email address.. not that hard to make an email with someone elses name it. i could make an email today that says bobknight1954@aol.com if i wanted. so maybe he this "hoops fan" person has made an email just to make this former coach at lasell look bad. Unless you have actually seen the person press the "post" button on their computer, i wouldn't take 100% truthful otherwise.
Yes but then you still have the TOS violation for impersonating the coach (because of the email). If Pat says its a no-no, then it probably is wise to heed that warning.
oh yah i am agreeing with you. but we should all just bash him assuming he is the former coach. thats all i was saying

That and he admitted to being the coach a few posts down.
how easy is it for someone to say they are someone else. I could be the coach from williams or tufts or wisconsin for all anybody knows.
i am just playing devils advocoate though.. i am not any of those people but it is easy for anyone to say they are someone else. unless you actually see them push the "post" button it is hard to know who really is who. Right?
I guess, but then it would have to be someone smart enough to act like the coach trying not to be discovered only to then admit he is the coach, when all the time it was someone else. Very complex; and we are talking about the NAC here.
Nice point Hoops. Obviously it's him - I don't need to see him press the button.
This is getting boring. Anything else up in the NAC? Probably not, eh?
Ballin' - you're a Newbury guy - where are they going?
newbury may go to the new league the dweb is forming. or maybe the NAC since they are down two schools?
who knows to be honest
Quote from: hoop fan on June 08, 2006, 10:52:08 AM
who the hell cares what you all think anyway...
Guess that would beg the question as to why you posted ...
I love it when Pat keeps piling on. That's the best.
Wow this site is like a soap opera.... Hey has anyone heard who the new coach will be at Lesley?
I suppose that might have been one more post than needed, but I have a hard time resisting such a blatant logical fallacy. :)
I'm glad the term "logical fallacy" has caught on so nicely here on posting up. That really makes us all sound so smart.
Not that anyone cares, but Lesley has hired a new coach, some guy from another prep. But supposidly they will have some new recruits. ALso, rumor has it that Elms star PG John Ancrum is not in school anymore
this may be a dumb question, but I am not very familiar w/ the NAC. Does Wheelock have a men's team?
No.
Looks like they are trying to add a mens program though,
any predections or reports, or should we just keep it up and never post on the nac board
Elms posted their roster recently....I see that John Ancrum is listed, so it looks like he is playing his senior Blazer season contrary to earlier reports in this thread.
Any info about how this conference race will shape up? Elms is 2-time defending champ - who's in the mix to challenge? Looks like the green and white should be strong again.
If ancrum is still at elms they will have to be the favorite. husson usally battles for the title each year but they lost the poy from last year........... other then that i would have to bet the other teams in the league will struggle to be above 500
i herd that 07/08 wheelock will sponsor a Men's Basketball team

I've heard this as well. No official confirmation anywhere though.
Frustrating loss for Lasell at Tufts last night. Lasers led for about 30 minutes, but choked at the end... Tufts guard Jeremy Black hit a couple of huge jumpers to put it away.
Tufts 85, Lasell 80.
That will be how it is all year for lasell there not has good has they were in years past. this team will not win more then 12 games this year. dont know why there still playing williams, salem state, wpi, west conn, babson, trinity
jsut wanted to put NAC on top for once :)
Any reviews on the Thomas Terriers? I see their schedule on d3hoops says they lost 74 56 to st joes LI but i dont think they played the LI campus. Any word on this mishap? Or the actual game??
No, they played the Brooklyn campus. But whomever reports scores for Thomas doesn't seem to know there's a difference between Brooklyn and Long Island. I've fixed the score.

Any reports on that game?? That Brooklyn Campus has played some NCAA games this season, and seems to be a decent team.

The Nighthawks Whisk Past Lesley
Brookline, MA: Newbury College improved their record to 10-8 with an exciting victory over Lesley College by the score of 74-67 tonight in Brookline, MA. Lesley fought hard in the second half to cut the lead but just wasn't enough for the determined Nighthawks.
The Nighthawks led the entire game and had an answer for every run Lesley attempted. Captain Arch Mitchell (Framingham, MA/Framingham) led all scorers on the night with 24 points. Rookie Heman Honore (Medford, MA/St. Clements's) contributed 19 points and was a known presence in the paint with 7 blocks. Captain Steven Morris (Somerville, MA/Somerville) added 10 points and dished out 4 assists in the Nighthawks victory.
The Lynx fought until the very last second of the game, but just came up short in the loss. Malcolm Andrews (Medford, MA) led the Lynx in scoring with 14 points. Fellow teammates Michael Lush (Saugus, MA) added 12 points and Joseph Chatman (Boston, MA) contributed 11 points on the hard fought loss for Lesley.

Hey what's up, I was just checking back on some of the posts from the past season and I just wanted to see how your words tasted? Were they good? They won 16, made an ECAC tournament, was competitive against Salem, WPI, Trinity and Babson, and if that wasn't enough, they absolutely waxed the NESCAC champs by 26 as well as a win against West Conn and Union. I'd say that is a pretty decent season for a first year coach that inherited a team and doesn't graduate a single player. They should be very competitive in the GNAC next season. While we are on the subject, I predict they beat Endicott tomorrow night as well.
Hey guys, we're collecting previews for each team in the tourney on one of the multiregional boards. If I get them by friday I may even be able to stick them in one document for people to peruse. A fun little tourney resource of sorts. Is there someone here, by any chance, who would be willing to do one for Elms there? ??? Thanks!

Green Mountain has been accepted into the NAC for 08-09.
http://www.rutlandherald.com/apps/pbcs.dll/article?AID=/20070601/SPORTS/706010360/1007/SPORTS
NAC has taken Lyndon State and Green Mountain. This will only leave Southern Vermont and Presque Isle as independents! wonder if those two applied to the NAC or not.
I think SVC is setting their sights a little higher than the NAC and no one's going to take UMPI.
sights hirer then the NAC? Where do you think they would go? The NEAC has already told them no. The GNAC kicked them out. I doubt the CCC would ever take them. Unless they go d2 schoalrship??I doubt that will ever happen.
I didn't say it was smart, I just said their sights are set higher.
what sights to you think they are working on? Enlighten us.
I don't think they're working on anything, but they left the GNAC with the hopes of improving their lot. I fully believe they think they're an LEC calibre program.
Maybe I'm wrong, but I get the impression they feel like they're better than the NAC. I'm not sure they have any other place to go, but I think it's their last option, even beyond staying independent for a while.

It looks like the Vermont side of the conference works for the sake of travel partners. Do you see the travel partners strategy in the east? If, so who would be paired?
Might the NAC accept Presque Isle as an affiliate for baseball?
southern vermont has no shot at the LEC. The LEC is all public schools.
I think NAC will have to take UMPI because of baseball. UMPI could play hardball literally and say this to the NAC "take us all or dont take any of us" and then the NAC will be stuck without an AQ for baseball.
I thing SVC in the NAC is good because they are so close to Green mountain and castleton state.
thats just my 2 cents
Just some thoughts about the LEC...
It is very hard to convince a conference that 9 members is better than 8, especially a stable conference with a very successful record in multiple sports like the LEC.
In no uncertain terms, that could be made very clear to the administration at SVC.
Secondly, a new conference, in which there may be some fluidity associated with the early years, and its need to have a buffer against such movement (as seen in the North Atlantic Conference and the North Eastern AC) means that bringing lots of "players to the table" is important in the "shaking out" period. In this case, getting eight or nine teams to have 7 participants in the sports offered may be the nature of the beast.
yah it will be interesting to see what happens as I think some schools (Anna Maria, rivier and Regis) might show some interest in the NEAC. I think ultimately the NAC will need to take SVC, because SVC is an active NCAA 3 member right now. Green Mountain, Lyndon State aren't active and if something happens where they get set back a year it could hurt the NAC. Not to mention SVC does have a baseball team and that is what the NAC needs.
I do, however, don't think that the Little East will be taking anyone but a state school if they ever think of expanding.
I think the NAC will be alright. Green Mountain is awfully close to being a full member.
SVC, however, may be floundering. I think they'll have to take the NAC or nothing.

I believe that Green Mountain comes online this summer.
Ballin, you and I probably agree that winning in your conference is probably second only to mission/vision and/or travel consequences (cost/ time away from class) in determining a conference membership.
Do Anna Maria , Rivier and/or Regis etc. possibly see the NAC as a conference in which they can be more competitive?
Anna Maria is far more concerned with mission/vision than having a competitive sports program. Not that they put any less effort into it, but it is lower on the list of priorities than most other CCC schools. I think they'd welcome a chance to be more competitive and to travel less.
Regis is an all-female school that has just begun accepting men. They would fit far better with similar schools like Lesley in the new conference.
I think hiring the new commish in the CCC took a pretty big commitment from all the schools involved; however, this may not preclude some from leaving.
i think Riv, Regis and Anna maria would be a great addition to the NEAC not the NAC. now that all the mass schools have left the NAC none of the vt, nh, me schools will ever let any southern schools in. I belive the NEAC is going to target riv, regis, anna maria and maybe even e. naz(though long shot at best with e. naz). to join the NEAC. Also rumor has it that Brandeis might become an associate of the NEAC for baseball.
The NEAC is a long trip. Who wants to drive all the way to Buffalo to play D'Youville and the like?
NeNAC is a better choice.
With all of this "geography", I think that I need to get me a map and plot all of the New England area schools in color coordinated dots to keep them straight! :-\
Kinda like this old map of the ASC (http://www.mcm.edu/asc/) from 2000...

Actually New England is less than one quarter the size of Texas. Even smaller than that if you don't include greater metropolitan Presque Isle. ;)
Rutland VT Hearld (http://www.rutlandherald.com/apps/pbcs.dll/article?AID=/20070510/SPORTS/705100389/1007/SPORTS) article about schools leaving for the NECC and the schools remaining in the NAC.
I realize this is slightly out of place, but since the North Atlantic Conference doesn't start sponsoring football until 2009, there's no topic in Post Patterns for this.
I see the NAC has seven members for football, with all but two being associate members. In order to qualify for an AQ at some point, four of them would need to sponsor at least one other sport in the conference (core members). Husson and Castleton State are full members, so there's two core members. I understand Mt Ida continues to play lacrosse in the conference, so bringing in it's football team would also make it a core member. That gives three core members, one short of the required number to start the AQ countdown start running. The other four confirmed members will be Becker, Gallaudet, Maine Maritime, and Norwich. I also have heard Anna Maria is considering becoming football team #8. Of those last four of five colleges, is there any chance of one of them becoming a core member?
Jim, I am so far removed from the local media and rumor mills, that I do not know how that conference is moving towards a Pool A bid. That clearly is the historical motive for the growth and expansion of the NAC.
I was disappointed that the NAC lost two football playing "core members" (Becker and Mt Ida) two years ago. I do not even know if sponsoring another sport in the conference makes it a "core member".
Good question, and I think that you posted this on the correct board for a response.
I know it's the dead of summer, but just curious about how the league will shake out next season. I know there are some teams coming in, and wondering how that will impact the NAC. Also, who's expected to contend at the top of the league next year?

Now can we talk about the players to look out for in the NAC for the 2008 2009 basketball season?
Well I guess I will list the first player. In his second year at Becker College Pg #3 DEE JOHN "DJ" EXUM will have a standout season. When I lived in CT I remember seeing his picture in the news paper every other day. He's fast, strong, and can get some major points if need be. I would like to see his team come to NYC to play a few games. Keep a eye out for this up and coming player.

since you play on the team you should know that you guys switched conferences. your are no longer in the NAC, and your best player is suber
Wat? No im not on the team. And I didn't know they left the NAC. But thanks for the info
What's the word on the reshuffled NAC this season. Now that teams are practicing and scrimmaging does anyone know who's favored to win the league this season? With Elms gone, is Husson the leader of the pack?
So, Husson was picked to win the league -- with all 8 first-place votes, but they currently sit at 0-3. I also see there's one team with a winning record right now (2-1 Maine-Farmington -- picked to finish tied for 6th) and another at .500 (1-1 Green Mountain -- picked 4th). Johnson St., Lyndon St. and Thomas are all 1-2 (picked third, eighth and second, respectively), while Maine-Maritime is 1-3 (picked tied for sixth) and the team picked fifth, Caselton, also is winless at 0-4.
Will the league shake out more like the predictions once league play starts, or is the early non-conference stuff more likely to continue?
Anyone? Bueller?
Even with the 0-3 start Husson is still the team to beat, in my opinion. It is wide open after that. UMF has probably looked like the second best team on paper after that even after losing their top three scorers. Johnson, Lyndon, and Thomas have looked decent if not dangerous. Castleton has had a rough start but I have a feeling they will be a solid team in league play. MMA will also be a tough game for anyone in the league on a given night. GMC is a bit of a mystery with Hammond and Fisher gone.

So has Husson just played quality non-league opponents?

I think it's more that the NAC is really weak.
I cant see anyone winning this league besides Husson.
Anyone know what happen to the kid howe at CSC last year he was first team all NAC.

Then it's more that Husson beats up on NAC opponents, while struggling against non-league foes?
Will that be the case with Castleton, which is now 0-5? They only fell by 10 or so points in their first few games, but have just been blown out in their last couple. I know Middlebury is usually tough, and are 5-2 right now, but what about Plymouth State (2-3) who beat Castleton by 50 points?
Husson has lost to SUNY-Oneonta & Westbury as well as Gordon. None are poor losses in my mind. No question, the team to beat in the NAC.
Not sure about Howe but a huge loss for the Spartans. They will get better every game out will compete well once league play hits.
The NAC is arguably the weakest D3 conference but have still produced some good teams at the top over the last few years. The problem is Elms and Lasell were usually those and have joined other conferences.
Thomas plays Babson very tough after giving Bates all they wanted. Perhaps emmerging as the #1 contender to Husson in the NAC.

New to the NAC boards...but sounds like some interesting conversation and new a league always exciting. With regards to losing to three quality teams I would say so far Husson has lost to 1 quality team in Gordon, 1 team in Oneonta that the jury is still out on how competitive they will be in the SUNYAC and an Old Westbury team that I would not put down as a signature win just yet. With that being said Husson is still the team to beat until someone new unseats them they have earned that right with their overall success in the league. Noticed your comment about GMC being the unknown that could be scary for the rest of the league considering the success that GMC had last year with some of the other members in the league. Hammond and Fisher were big losses off that team but have shown a recent solid win against Framingham State which just beat Williams (granted not a typical Williams team) and closing out the Eastern Nazarene tourny with a win over Mitchell. Based on some scores looks like they can put points on the board with the exception of a tough opening loss to Medaille.
Will be an interesting league to watch....
GMC is 4-1 but look at the teams they played they only have 1 real win. beating a good Framingham State team. I wouldnt say beating bard by 2 and eastern naz by 9 are good wins, and paul smith isnt a ncaa school.
Well with consideration not seeing that anyone in that case in the NAC has played too many prominent programs...if you would notice my comment was that they have some experience coming in with some of the other schools in the NAC. Not sure anyone said they are going to win a national championship because they beat Bard and Paul Smith's, my point was if you would have read the post was that the unknown could be tough for the league based on the fact that it is a new team along with several new players and that they do have some understanding of the other programs in the league having played several of them in the past.
Husson in my mind is really the only one who has played too many solid teams Gordon, Oswego and Oneonta and if I had to pick one to be standing in the end it would not be Oneonta very surprised to date that they are 5-2 my hats go off to their early success.
Oh yeah and forgot to mention jamiejohn the all the wins count, not just the one against framingham state....
So the North East Region Posters' Poll is back, if you are interested in participating, which clearly you are, please submit your polls to either my email or my message box here by 9pm mondays (so for this week tonight, sorry for the short notice).

League play, essentially, gets under way on Tuesday...
Thomas at Husson
Johnson at Castleton
Lyndon at Green Mountain
Farmington at Maritime
UMF picked up a 1st semester win over Thomas...should be interesting to see who plays well on opening night in a wide open NAC.

Johnson State (7-4, 1-0) 77, Castleton State 61 (1-10, 0-1)
Husson (4-8, 1-0) 75, Thomas (3-7, 0-2) 72
Maine Maritime (5-7, 1-0) 67, Maine-Farmington (3-7, 1-1) 64
Lyndon State (4-3, 1-0) 70, Green Mountain (7-3, 0-1) 66
After the first group of league games, it does indeed appear to be wide open, though it seems like a certainty that Castleton will be bringing up the rear. 1-10 is pretty bad, and I don't think they've played that strong of a non-conference schedule.
Green Mountain's got the best overall record, yet they lost to the 4-3 Lyndon St. Husson did get the win, but their record is perplexing -- 4-8 -- when they were picked to win the league, and they only beat Thomas by three. All in all, it does look like things are pretty even, with the exception of Castleton, which, again, seems like it is easily the worst team in the league.
Just wondering if there are any midseason losses/gains that could make the second semester a different story for any of these teams.
Mid-season...LSC added three solid guards to bolster their backcourt led by Ben Sackett...can really score/shoot w/range.
Tonight's Games:
Husson (4-1 NAC) at Lyndon State (2-3 NAC)
MMA (1-4 NAC) at Johnson State (3-2 NAC)
UMF (4-2 NAC) at Green Mountain (2-3 NAC)
Thomas (4-2 NAC) at Castleton State (1-4 NAC)

Thanks leelowlang, I think we're the only two posting on this board.
How do you see this weekend's games shaking out?
You got it Buck...
So last night a few non-league games...
GMC plays West Conn tough in Danbury, LSC just misses a season-sweep of Plymouth, and JSC gets stunned at home by St. Joseph (Vt.).
Husson appears, still, to be the team to beat although Farmington appears more than capable of slaying the Eagles in the playoffs. Thomas is so dangerous with their offense. Johnson could make some noise but haven't had any signature win in or out of the league. Lyndon and Green Mountain are both capable of beating anybody in the league. MMA has been a bit of enigma. Big win at Thomas last week but also lose at home to CSC. Castleton is struggling with W & L's but playing better lately.
As it stands...
#1 Husson Bye, #2 UMF Bye, #3 Thomas hosting #6 MMA, #4 Johnson hosting #5 Green Mountain
Long way to go though...
So, do six teams make the NAC playoffs? I'm new to following the league and was assuming only four made it in.
Correct, I believe.
POY Candidates?
Castleton...nope
Green Mountain...Fabian Ferreira
Husson...Brock Bradford, Matt McKenzie
Johnson...John Foley, Bobby Shedd
Lyndon...Brad Durr, Caesar Martinez
Maine-Farmington...Josh Tanguay, Eric Taylor
Maine Maritime...nope
Thomas...Andrew Duncanson, Isaiah Brathwaite
At this point:
1. McKenzie - Husson
2. Duncanson - Thomas
3. Bradford - Husson
4. Ferreira - Green Mountain
5. Durr - Lyndon
NAC Conference tournament is set.
First Round:
No. 6 Maine Maritime (9-16 overall, 5-9 NAC) at No. 3 Maine-Farmington (12-11 overall, 10-4 NAC)
No. 5 Johnson State (12-13, 6-8) at No. 4 Green Mountain (15-10, 7-7)
Semifinals:
Johnson St./Green Mountain winner at No. 1 Thomas (14-10, 11-3)
Maritime/Farmington winner vs. No. 2 Husson (14-11, 11-3)
Thomas Won 4, 8-2
Husson Lost 1, 8-2
Maine-Farmington Won 1, 7-3 , Green Mountain Won 2, 5-5,
In the first round, both sets of matchups produced splits during the regular season. Farmington lost at Maritime and Maritime lost at Farmington. With Green Mountain-Johnson State, each team won on the road.
I'll have to go with the top seed in both matchups, as both are sporting better records over the last 10 games than their opponent.
In the semis, that would have Farmington facing No. 2 Husson. They split during the regular season, each winning on the road. Husson dropped its last game of the season, but reeled off four wins in a row prior to that, all by big margins. A week off will give them what they need to top Farmington and reach the final. (If Husson's mentality is fragile, though, a week off to ponder the loss, could help Farmington score the upset)
Thomas beat Green Mountain during both of their meetings this season, but only by six and seven points. Both teams are on a bit of a roll, Green Mountain winning its last two, including knocking Husson from the top seed, while Thomas has won four in a row heading into the tournament. Being at Thomas, the edge has to go to the No. 1 seed. (If Green Mountain can show the kind of performance that helped them top Husson on Saturday, then they could upset Thomas)
In the final, the top two teams should meet, with each winning at home during the regular season. The edge has to go to the home team, Thomas, who also had the last victory between the two teams.
Leelowlang, what do you think?
NAC First Round results (from Tuesday night)
No. 3 Maine-Farmington 58, No. 6 Maine Maritime 53:
Farmington cruised into halftime with a 35-22 lead, and hung on in the second half for the victory.
Eric Taylor was dominant with 20 points and 12 rebounds for Farmington (although he did have six turnovers), which also got 10 points and five rebounds from Andrew Dean. Derek DiFrederico led Maritime with 15 points, while Jake Manner added 10 points.
Neither team seems to have shot the ball very well; 38 percent for Farmington for the game, 31.4 percent for Maritime from the field. Maritime was 4-16 from 3 (25 percent), while Farmington went 6-21 (28.6 percent).
No. 4 Green Mountain 86, No. 5 Johnson State 77:
It was 40-27 at halftime, another 13-point halftime lead for the winner (just like Maritime and Farmington), and Green Mountain was able to keep scoring for the win (despite giving up 50 points to Johnson in the second half).
Rui Carmo paced Green Mountain with 20 points and 11 rebonds, while Rich Bailey scored 18 points and dished out six assists. Other double-figure scorers were Scott McGuinness (11 points) and Abraham Saccoh (10 points), while Gerard Johnson led all rebounders with 13 boards to add to his nine points.
Bobby Shedd led Johnson with 20 points and nine rebounds. Ian Passino and Leandro Martinez both finished with 15 points, and Michael Bosch also reached double figures in scoring with 12 points, to go with eight rebounds.
This weekend is the NAC semifinals and finals, starting Friday at 6 p.m. with No. 1 Thomas (14-10 overall , 11-3 NAC) taking on No. 4 Green Mountain (16-10, 7-7 NAC). That will be followed by No. 2 Husson (14-11, 11-3) vs. No. 3 Maine-Farmington (13-11, 10-4).
The finals, I believe, will take place on Saturday.
I'm still sticking with my prediction that No. 1 Thomas and No. 2 Husson will meet in the championship game. Based on the low-scoring (and poor shooting) in Farmington's game against Maritime, I don't think they have what it takes to top Husson. Green Mountain has shown the ability to score plenty of points, but they've also shown their propensity for giving up plenty of points as well and seem to not be able to close games out effectively. They will have to be able to do that to overcome Thomas.
Leelowlang,
Since I think you're the only other person posting on here, I thought I'd share the link to livestats for tonight's games. I am assuming this will work for the championship game as well.
Here's the link:
http://livestats.prestosports.com/nacathletics/
Game 1 -- No. 1 Thomas vs. No. 4 Green Mountain -- 6 p.m.
Game 2 -- No. 2 Husson vs. No. 3 Maine Farmington -- follows game 1
Championship Game is scheduled for 2 p.m. Saturday.
Well, it's No. 1 Thomas vs. No. 2 Husson in the NAC championship today.
Thomas got out to a big halftime lead and held off a Green Mountain comeback attempt in the second half for a 90-84 win.
Husson was able to get a layup at the buzzer to pull off a 67-65 win.
I'll take Thomas over Husson in the championship.
I had Thomas as well. The more experienced, whether that had a real effect or not I'm not sure, Husson squad gets it done. McKenzie was again the man essentially as he was all year long. Perras had a strong, strong last month or so of the season and was an X factor in the semi's and finals.
I haven't yet taken a close look at the statistics or find out how Husson pulled away as at my last check Thomas led by one at the break.
Both of the teams, along with Farmington, should be right back in these similar spots next season with Thomas as the favorite losing only Liebowitz I believe. Husson loses Perras, Kissinger, and Figueroa I think and Farmington graduates Neil, Howell, and Kerschner. Most of the rest of the league, except maybe Castleton but even they lose arguably their best player in Cayea, has significant loss with regards to seniors.
I'm sure Husson will draw a Middlebury or maybe even old conference nemesis in Elms. Certainly no at-large love for Thomas. I wonder if any other NAC schools will get a invite to the ECAC's.
Got to go Top 3 in the Northeast as:
1. Middlebury/Elms
2. Elms/Middlebury
3. Dartmouth
Can someone post your NCAA team's profiles in here:

Coach Shipley stepping away from hoop at Castleton
http://www.csc.vsc.edu/athletics/news/03272009.htm
Any word on potential candidates?
how desirable is the Castleton State Job? I mean yes its a DIII job so it has its appeal in its own right, however, how appealing is it on the scale of a DIII job in New England?
Please no one take this as a shot at CSC because its not, its simply being unfamiliar with the NAC and CSC in general, I do not want to base too much on just this 2-20 something season. Is it truly that difficult of a place to win/recruit good enough players to be competitive at the top of one of the lower conferences in D3 New England?
CSC is in Castleton, VT. That's gotta be tough in itself. It's not an academically elite school like Middlebury so why would out of state kids go? VT does not have enough talent to sustain a competitive program. The really good VT kids are gonna be out.
That being said, it looks like CSC wants to be legit. They have grad asstistants for every sport. Basically establishing a full time assistant coach. They have done work around campus to facilities. The question to ask is, does CSC have any kind of agreement with boarder states as far as tuition rates. If they do , with say NY , then there has gotta be a chance to overcome being in VT. I didn't look up this but maybe someone out there knows.
I'd say Castleton is a more desirable position than other similar positions in New England. Balla did a good job looking at it. Not the best location, but they have the tools to be competitive, especially within the conference. That's always the first step.
Well, Castleton has its new coach, Paul Culpo. He's been at Hartwick College for the last six years, winning the ECAC Upstate Championship this season. Here's the link to the D3Hoops.com story:

Thoughts?
Long time until Oct 15 but an early look at the NAC.
Teams to beat:
Husson...The road will go through Husson again. With the return of seniors Bradford and MacKenzie, perhaps the best guard and best big in the league, and what looks to be a strong recruiting class, best of luck going to Bangor and getting a W.
Thomas...The best backcourt belongs to Thomas, the regular season champ of the league last year, with the return of Duncanson (POY) and Alexander, and don't forget the perimeter punch of Brathwaite and Burchill at 6'4" each.
Team to watch:
Farmington...The interior one-two punch of Tanguay and Taylor matched with the steady backcourt duo of Dean and Lelansky make them a legit contender. They are always going to defend and rebound.
Which way will they go?:
Green Mountain...GMC had a nice year last year but lose their starting 1,2, & 3 in Bailey, Ferreira, and Pellew. But they return a dangerous frontcourt led by Johnson and Carmo.
Johnson...JSC faded down the stretch and lose four seniors led by Shedd and Foley. They will need role guys Passino and Dodge to setp up to join 3-pt ace Martinez. Could be tough to continue climbing the NAC standings.
Lyndon...LSC loses frontcourt standouts Durr and Stoddard-Amari as well as dangerous wing Martinez. They return a nice, young backcourt in Sackett and Fortunato but will need answers in the frontcourt.
On the rise:
Castleton...With the hiring of a new Coach, a DI transfer in UVM walk-on Hughes, and what looks to be a very solid recruiting class, CSC will be much better...but they have a ways to go.
Could be a long one:
MMA...Scratching their way to a 6th place finish, the Mariners graduate their top two players. The Mariners are always dangerous way up in Castine but their best talent will most likely be very young.
09-10 Pre-Season Picks:
Champ - Husson
POY - Brock Bradford (HU)
ROY - Greg Hughes (CSC)
1st Team - Bradford, Andrew Duncson (TC), Matt McKenzie (HU), Eric Taylor (UMF), Gerard Johnson (GMC)
I think you are dead on with hudson. Brock Bradford and MacKenzie can dominate a game, and don't forget about Jay Uhrin either. Expect him to have a bang up year too. Think you are underestimating Johsnon some though.
Good call on Uhrin. With a year under his belt in the system he could flourish as well. With some question if the ROY Rodgers is going to return at Thomas, Husson is the clear favorite in my mind.
JSC loses a high percentage of production from last year's squad. Their entire starting frontcourt and point guard graduated. Any program would have a hard time with that.
I think Farmington could be very scary by the time they hit league play. Relatively big and experienced. Vet backcourt as well.
I could see Farmington, still Green Mountain may shock some people especially if the land a decent guard. Who does everyone think the shockers this year? As in who do you think, player and/or team, that wll turn head?
Potential Surprises:
Husson - Daeshawn McMorrin. They'll need him to fill the shoes of Perras/Meehan which won't be easy.
Thomas - Antonio Juco. Ultra quick but might still be stuck behind the stable of talented guards the Terriers have.
Farmington - Kevin Leary. Frontcourt X factor of sorts. Similar to Ted Neil '09 in that he can really shoot the 3 and should fill those shoes.
Green Mountain - Travis Debreaux. If he is back he is a horse. Combined with Johnson and Carmo, could be the league's best frontcourt.
Johnson - Nate Dodge. Big kid with guard skills and sweet stroke and JSC graduates their frontcourt.
Maine Maritime - Rob Connolly. With graduation on Manner they need him to be a presence.
Lyndon - Noah Fink. Lost in the shuffle a bit late last year but should be the Hornets go-to big this year.
Castleton - Marcus Hass. Good FY last year so maybe not a surprise but with significant perimeter help coming in he should have more space to do work.
11/15:
Solid win by Thomas at Wentworth 78-73. Defending NAC POY Andrew Duncanson goes for 24. Transfer Travis Dorsey impressive with 16 & 11 rebs. Back and forth game all day.
Johnson falls at home to Daniel Webster 90-73. Leandro Martinez scores 26 and Nate Dodge 15. DWC canned 13 3's. Was a 10-15 pt game most of the way.

Early Power Rankings:
1. Thomas - Undefeated at 4-0 with solid road wins. Defending POY Duncanson looks poised to make serious run at the repeat.
2. Husson - Though 1-2 their two losses were tight ones on the road against good teams. The addition of Jones to Bradford and McKenzie could be devasting.
3. Farmington - Has competed fairly well early but are 0-3 against good competition. Tanguay and Taylor comprise arguably the best 4-5 in the league.
4. Castleton - At 2-2 they have matched their 2008-09 win total. Many new faces will make this team interesting to watch and see how they develop.
5. Lyndon - Have a pair of solid wins and competed well in their losses and sit at 2-2. Getting big contributions from rookie's Avery King and Jason Gray.
6. Johnson - At 0-3 they competed well in the Wesleyan Tournament. They have shot the 3 very well led by Leandro Martinez.
7. Green Mountain - 0-3 but hung around games in the Rochester Tournament. Another team with many new faces but Rui Carmo and Gerard Johnson and a nice 1-2 punch.
8. Maine Maritime - Have a win at 1-2 but have gotten beat up in their last two. An inexperienced club will need Jarred Sternbergh and Paul Campbell to lead the club.

I was at the Cardinal Classic last weekend and saw Husson play twice. Joshua Jones was the best player on the floor for the Eagles in both games. If Husson had not been on the short end of that 72-70 final against Plattsburgh State, Jones would have been the MVP of the tournament. He was on the All- Tournament team, along with McKenzie.
I don't know if his addition to Bradford and Mckenzie (both very good players) would be devasting, but it could be devastating. :D ;) ;D

QuoteVermont Student Sues Over Co-Ed Dorm Bathrooms
A Green Mountain College student has filed a lawsuit over the lack of single-sex bathrooms in the her co-ed residence hall.
Nineteen-year-old Jennifer Weiler filed a civil complaint last week against the Department of Public Safety, which enforces building and plumbing codes she claims were violated.
All seven of the school's residence halls are co-ed. According to the lawsuit, Weiler and others are uncomfortable with the flimsy curtains on the shower doors and men using the toilets without closing the door.
This is certain to become a pissing contest.

And apparently they were down to four players during the second half when one fouled out.
1/8:
Maine Maritime 78, Maine-Presque Isle 68

Middlebury received 16 points from freshman Jake Wolfin in the win.
NAC Opener's on Tuesday:
Green Mountain (3-5) at Lyndon State (4-6)
Much uncertainty about who will be in uniform for GMC. Some significant roster changes for Lyndon it appears as well. Thinking LSC pulls it out at home by 5-8.
Husson (5-4) at Thomas (7-1)
Likely conference championship preview. Apparently Thomas had some personnel issues before the break so could be interesting to see who is uniform for the Terriers. Road goes through defending champ Husson until proven otherwise. Husson by a bucket.
Maine-Farmington (0-8) at Maine Maritime (4-6)
Though UMF has yet to win they have played arguably the toughest schedule of any NAC team. Thinking Farmington gets their first win and relatively comfortably. Beavers by 10-12.
Castleton State (6-5) at Johnson State (4-7)
They have played common opponents very similarly. Castleton seems to be the more consistent team at this point. Want to say CSC by a point but feel like JSC might get the squeeker at home. Pick'em...nah, can't do that...Johnson by a point.
1/12:
Lyndon State 98, Green Mountain 84
Lyndon (5-6, 1-0 NAC) out runs Green Mountain (3-6, 0-1 NAC) who only has six players in uniform on this night.

Josh Jones paces Husson (6-4, 1-0 NAC) with 28 points and 14 rebounds as the Eagles down Thomas (7-2, 1-1 NAC).

Leandro Martinez leads JSC with 17 points with Ian Passino tossing in 12.
Leelowlang, what's the scuttlebutt for the NAC tourney?
I know Green Mountain is at Husson and Johnson State is at Thomas tonight, with the winners advancing to play Maine-Farmington and Castleton State, respectively, this weekend at M-F.
Just curious to see if you had any thoughts on how it would shake out.
Congrats to Maine-Farmington, which won its opening game of the NCAA tourney, and on the road.
Here's the brief recap:
Over the next 17 days, 60 basketball games will determine which team hoists Walnut and Bronze in Salem, Va., as the 2010 Division III men's basketball national champion. And the tournament started with a significant upset, as Maine-Farmington, which entered the night at just 14-11, went to Bridgewater State and came away with the 64-63 victory. Bridgewater State, which made an impressive tournament run of its own last year, had two shots in the final 5.2 seconds to win and missed them both.
And here's the link to the full story:
http://www.d3hoops.com/game-releases/v2.0/2010/Mar/04/Bridgewater+State-vs.-Maine-Farmington/0w7ogsjh4sx5e5i4/33203
Next up, Williams, which received a first-round bye and finished its season 26-1. What a gift for the Beavers. Hope you enjoyed your stay in the tourney. But, seriously though, it's good for the NAC for M-F to get this victory and congratulations really are in order.
Unsurprisingly, Maine-Farmington went down at the hands of Williams Saturday night, losing 83-64 in the second round of the NCAA tourney. Congrats to the Beavers for turning their season around and getting an NCAA tourney victory.
Big congrats to the Beavs for an impression tourney win and probably an even more impressive second half of their season.
CSC recieve home grown kids commitment .

leelowlang,
Here's a post from Hoops Fan that was on the Undefeated and Winless Board yesterday regarding Green Mountain College only playing 5 guys.
Quote:
They've got six players listed on the basketball roster; none over 6'2". Two Seniors, two Sophomores, and two Freshmen. Sophomore guard Kenneth Williams must be injured or otherwise predisposed.
They lost all five starters from last year's squad. One of the players listed in their pre-season summary is not on the roster - he's evidently been replaced by a local kid.
This could be a long year for Green Mountain.
Husson 74 vs. UNE 51 - Jay Uhrin knocks down 4-of-5 3-pt FG en route to 21 points and Marc Zaharchuk goes for 19 & 10.
10/22 Games:
Lyndon at Springfield
CSC Spartans falls to Plymouth St 66-76.
CSC lead by 13 pts at the half time.
ugly game......lack of size.....
5 out ZERO inside style kill for us.
I have good potential freshman on frontcourt.
but They played only sevral minute per game so far(Coaches decision).

Josh Jones had a nice double-double Thursday night as Husson defeated Centenary 72-65.

Jay Uhrin had 19 points (7x13 fg, 1x5 3's, 4x6 ft) and Daeshawn McMorrin also had double figures with 13 points.
Husson improved to 7-1 on the season, but will face a tough opponent on Friday as they take on the Wheaton (Ill.) Thunder at 6 PM. Wheaton is currently in a tie for the 27th spot in the latest D3hoops poll.
It's not every week the NAC gets some love in Around the Nation. It did this week -- winless Green Mountain got amention about halfway down. I guess it answers some questions about their performance this season.

When Maine Maritime Academy's men's basketball season gets underway, the Mariners will do so with a relatively young squad. Of the 11 players on the roster, six are freshmen. The young Mariners will look to improve on a 10-15 mark from a year ago, relying on a solid cadre of returning players, but can only do so with immediate help from the freshman class...

So obviously no one posts in the NAC board, but seems like an interesting New England story....apparently Green Mountains head coach is out: http://hoopdirt.com/diii-dirt-leonelli-out-at-green-mountain/ (http://hoopdirt.com/diii-dirt-leonelli-out-at-green-mountain/) .
WOW - NJBalla - that story is all over the place! Crazy

Dave will talk to many coaches around the country who are looking to lock up automatic bids, securing at-large opportunities, or knowingly playing for the postseason lives. Dave will even make sure you better understand the selection criteria and how something like the Strength of Schedule helps or hurts teams.
Hoopsville hits the air at 7pm ET. You can tune in below.

Thanks!
On almost any night you can expect there is something to talk about in Division III basketball. From upsets to dominating results, when thousands of games are being played there never is a moment that goes by that shouldn't be discussed.
That's what we hope to do on Hoopsville (http://www.d3hoopsville.com) every show.
Sunday night is no different. There are plenty of upsets to discuss along with figuring out just exactly who are the best teams in the country. Sometimes that discussion means talking to those who won, those who lost, and those who are helping determine conference races.
On Sunday's show, Dave talks to several teams who are in the conversation around the country. From a men's team who ended a 72-game conference winnings streak to another men's squad whose undefeated conference run ended. Also, a women's squad who is already having the best season in four years and another being led by a man who has overcome more than most do and trying to lead by examble by staying focused despite his battled with attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder.
Dave will also update a few items voted on this week at the NCAA Convention that will affect basketball starting next season.
You can watch Hoopsville live or watch it on Facebook Live (simulcast): http://www.d3hoops.com/hoopsville/archives/2016-17/jan22. If you missed the show live, you can watch the video On Demand in the same manner or listen to or download the podcast (available when the show concludes).

Raheem Anderson was injured in his 8th game freshmen year, just under the cutoff for a medical redshirt, so he's got one more year to go. We knew about this in the spring, although maybe it was after our futures draft? He's playing this year, though - and may end his career top ten all time in scoring.
All us fantasy leaguers must have missed that...except FCGrizzlies.
Schools sometimes also list players academically or Husson did feel it was going to be his senior year and it was changed.
What school has the best chance to knock off Husson this year come playoff time? NEC looks good but they had a rough weekend in Maine last week. Colby Sawyer has the talent but didn't fare well in their first match-up with the Eagles. Is UMF the quiet sleeper? Looking forward to their game against Husson on the 14th.
NEC completes the season sweep of Husson! Impressive! Great match-up for them. It's a shame Husson probably won't lose another game during the regular season. Best hope for NEC is UMF can pull the upset on 2/14. I'd love to see NEC host in that gym!

I had a sneaky suspicion about this game. Where does NEC play the playoff games now that they most likely will host? That gym can't facilitate 4 teams and their fans.

Last I knew... the team that earned it. And last I checked, not all four teams or fan bases tend to be in the gym at the same time. ;)

OK wise guy I know they earned it and they are the top seed but have you ever been in that gym? Four rows of bleachers on one side. Two feet on the baseline and two locker rooms in the entire building. And seeing how there is 25 min between the first and second game, you need more than 2 locker rooms and yes fans from 4 schools will be in the gym at once.

Maybe they just put an hour between games? It's not too hard to work around that. Lots of small New England schools have similar facility issues. They'll work it out.
They will work it out.. and they won't punish a team. It isn't like these are money makers. The only restrictions on gyms comes at the NCAA tournament level.
The NCAA men's basketball regional advisory committees released their third set of rankings, and as expected, the Atlantic Region was among those getting shuffled. Here's the full list: http://www.d3hoops.com/notables/2018/02/men-regional-rankings-third

Dear D3 Faithful ;D,
I have read many of your posts throughout the years and even met some of you in person, but for those who I haven't met, let me introduce myself: my name is Michael Rejniak and I have spent over 14 years coaching Division 3 basketball and love what our division has done and continues to do for the sport of basketball. One of the greatest things about Division 3 basketball is the brotherhood that we all have with one another (coaches and players alike). My wish is to showcase the talents of D3 on a national stage in
The Basketball Tournament (TBT). You may have heard me speak about this on the Hoopsville Marathon with Dave McHugh of D3hoops.com (at the 6:11 mark). The TBT is a national tournament that is televised in July/August on ESPN after the NBA season is over. My goal is to put forth an all-star D3 team (current players are ineligible) and have them compete in this tournament to take on Former D1 / semi-pro's to prove that D3 deserves the same respect as other NCAA divisions. The team is mostly complete with former student-athletes from all over the country competing. Once the roster is complete we will be sure to release it through d3hoops. Former Babson College National Champion Matthew Droney '17 will also be assisting me on this journey.
How YOU can help our former elite D3 basketball players
While the end prize of this tournament is a monetary prize, being a D3-lifer, the goal is not the money (we all know that's not why we get into coaching), the goal is to bring an end to the stigma of Division 3 basketball, an awareness of how talented our student-athletes are and that we can compete (and win) against the best. We do need to raise funds for an entry fee, travel, meal and housing expenses for the athletes. In order to do this, we are conducting a crowd-funding campaign through GoFundMe to help make this a reality. These athletes need your support! Just think -- if every Division 3 school donated just $10, we will have raised over $4,000!!!! The link to the GoFundMe Page is below and please SPREAD THE WORD and email me with any questions/concerns at WeAreD3TBT@gmail.com. Thank you in advance for your support and Dave and I look forward to this "D3 Dream Team" taking the court this summer.-Mike Rejniak

Yes ... we've known about this for roughly a year. You will notice this announcement was Aug. 16 last year ... and D3sports has been following this for even longer (I just can't remember when I may have been public about the news).

I have to wonder where they will be allowed to play. Maine has a lot of tight restrictions forcing some like Maine Maritime and Southern Maine to make very different plans.
"d-mac"
I"m hearing their home gyms. They think they can get it done with around 45 people in the gym which is under the 50 people limit.
UMaine can't (won't) produce home games at the D1 level under that limit.

People in the gyms is NOT the issue and not the kind of restrictions Maine and other states are putting up that would keep teams form being able to play.
Leaving the state and it requiring a 14-day quarantine is a big one. Southern Maine has already said they won't play anyone further than two hours away - basically so they can get home in one night.
Fans and who are in the gym ... is the smallest issue.
this season will be hold conference tourney ??
or implement only regular season ?? :-[
I suspect the NAC will hold neither in the end ... I don't see how with all the different state regulations AND schools that won't be able to play (I would be surprised if the SUNYs will be cleared to play, for example) ... plus how any will be able to travel to one another.
I honestly think it will be a surprise to see any NAC conference action at all this season. And a tournament is an even further reach, in my opinion (also based on talking to individuals in the conference).
NAC has called off basketball season as a conference: https://www.nacathletics.com/general/2020-21/releases/20210111j43tmd
They will allow schools to conduct whatever is allowable on their own campuses or their local regions.
This really should have been the decision in early December ...

The Division III basketball season technically started nearly three months ago, but it has taken until the end of January for it to start feeling like the season is really underway. Even so, only about a quarter of the division has played just a single game. Another quarter of the division will never take to the court. And in between is wide gulf of different options.
On the first video-version of Hoopsville this season, Dave McHugh is joined by much of the D3hoops.com crew, Pat Coleman and Ryan Scott, to react to what has been one of the more unique seasons ... to say it lightly.
We react to the challenges schools are facing, what coaches are grappling with on a daily basis - especially beyond games and practices, and why schools are making so many different decisions.
We also discuss what is likely the future of this season's NCAA Championship Tournaments and, more importantly, when the decision on those tournaments will be made.
Plus, will there be a Top 25? No. Well, yes. Kind of. Tune in to learn more on what's coming. Plus a lot more including Dave spinning off Pat's thoughts on those wishing to attend games.

I know this board is pretty inactive, but does anyone have any info about the SUNY Canton vacancy? Seems pretty late in the year to not have named a replacement yet. I was going to have my dad get some inside info today as he had a golf tournament with someone from the athletic department but forgot to ask him.
The local weekly paper [North Country This Week] has the ad for the SUNY Canton basketball coach.
Pretty late to get started on this. Season starts 4 months from today, classes start on August 25th.
Senthil didn't take any of his Canton asst coaches with him, but did hire former Hartwick player Matt Knezovic as one of his assts at Oberlin.
That's the latest update from the beautiful North Country.

Their HR listing doesn't have a date when it was first posted, but Shiva is still on the website and the listed salary is $37k for a 10 month obligation. Definitely not the most attractive offering, but it's proven to be a pretty great place for a first time head coach and recruiting hasn't been too difficult, despite the geographic limitations. I'm sure they'll find somebody good.
