Curry won the conference in 1986, however there was no AQ

Hoops, COLBY/ CURRY . CO before CU.They were asked to vote first. They were not comfortable with the process. They elected to pass. After the vote they were not given an opportunity to vote again. AMC, Regis, NEC and Eastern Nazz was not invited. Not that any of this matters it was not in control of anyone that post here on this board. All upper level stuff. Hope everyone has a great summer and let's all enjoy the last hurrah of TCCC as we know it!

Anna Maria was not invited. Colby Sawyer was invited. They out of the schools invited abstain. The other nine schools that were invited voted yes. Get it???

There was a meeting between the presidents of 10 schools. Based on information provided by AD's and SID's for lack of a better phrase everyone was not invited to the party. The information given covered a few areas.... What schools had for facilities and fields. How well they have faired in league play with their various sports and how well they report results etc. The schools invited fit the criteria for the party. There was a vote taken about starting a new conference. The vote went in alphabet order. The first school to vote abstain. The other nine schools voted yes. The first school did not get a chance to vote again. That is what I heard, you guys can figure it out who the lone school to abstain was......... Again I was not there. Time will tell how this plays out. Hey if not for that this board would be dormant now. Everyone have a great summer and remember GO C?

Very Sad News. Mike Crotty Sr. father of Williams grad Mike CrottyJr. passed away this morning. Mike was the Director of Middlesex Magic an AAU basketball club that has been responsible for assisting hundreds of kids to attend college, rather they continued to play ball or not. Our prayers go out to the Crotty family.

Very sad news. Mike Crotty Sr. Director of Middlesex Magic AAU basketball program and friend to New England Basketball Coaches Assc. Past away this morning. There is not enough space here to list the countless kids he helped to get into college or just be a part of the game we love. I will miss him and all that he has done to make our sport and community a better place. Our prayers go out to his family. Rest in Peace Mike!!!!

Wow! Thanks for all the Curry love! Miller Gym has seen it's last game after a 52 year run. The new place is almost complete and will be a very nice addition to the campus as well as  to the conference. I hope everyone enjoys it as much as we will because over the next 3 years all of the Championship Games will be played there!

UNE 76 WNEC 67 ,  WIT 74 CSC 71 call me crazy I just think something out of the ordinary is going to happen here. It is all most impossible to win at CSC in the play-offs but it can happen. Coach D and Coach Foti are a great match -up. As the kids would say Doyle is that "Dude" he hits three to win it! Gordon 72 RWU 67 this really could swing either way. I think that Gordon is the team that is playing the best out of all the remaining teams right now! NC 84 SRU 83 2ot They are just that close. Both teams are hungry and feel like they are just as good as everyone else. We will see. In the end UNE is the team to beat however some how, some way I feel like Gordon will be the NCAA entry. The team I thought would be there did not make the play-offs but that is a story to painful to tell! Anyway who cares?? Good Luck to all the teams and may everyone stay injury free!

Good Morning Guys and good Bye the South has been defeated (again) I want to say that this has been fun.However I agree with the person who stated players and coaches should not be on here. It was brought to my attention that somethings were being posted by someone who had to be an Curry insider. Well we know how that ended. This posting thing can be addictive so I will check in to posting rehab via the recruiting trail. I must go out and get all this talent I was told we have. I salute the teams that are still playing. They are the toast of the CCC. Special kudo's to WIT for winning at RWU and NC for giving the Scots a fight. Hoops email me some time if you know where I can find some rebounders(smile) Take Care, Coach

Just want to apologize for mentioning an official's name on this site. I was truly just trying to humor myself about something that was factual. As a coach I guess my words carry a little more weight. New posting policy no names no truth just make up stuff................. priceless or worthless you choose. Oh yeah I will say this the team that beat us today is good real good I wish I could use thier name but you know who they are #1

That has been a major problem for us all year. It's hard to answer the question of why we do not rebound better as a team or as individuals without it sounding like an excuse. I will start with Raheim you really have to come and see him play he NEVER takes any time off or gives less than a 100% effort. At times he makes things look easy but that is different then what people say. We are preceived to be very talented however talent and skill are two different things. Rebounding is a skill more so then a talent you have to be very fundamentaly sound and have the desire to go get the ball. we do more rebounding drills than most college or high school programs to no avail. Yes some players do have a nose for the ball so to speak they are the exceptions. Then you have a guy that is always triple team to do what he does is remarkable. The price we pay for that is if he misses chances are he will not get the rebound. He has not miss much as well. You would think that if three guys are on him we should be able to slip someone in for loose balls,rebounds etc. That has just not happen. Why? I think some players have gotten discouraged not getting the rebound and getting beat down the floor for an easy basket they start to play it safe and just hang back and watch. Some others get hit with ticky tac fouls and become shy. Whatever the reason you can believe those things will be addressed via the up comming recruitment class. Last night with the game on the line Marvin Lamarre goes up and blocks a shot 3 feet away from the basket great play. Two officials started running down the other way to get in position as we advanced the ball,whistle blows by Ken Marshall goal tending. Curry down two. Steve Prescod blows by his man lays ball in over rim Geoff B. slides over and under the hoop foul called by Ken Marshall. Offensive Curry down two. I wish not rebounding better was my only problem. We will get better there one way or the other Ken Marshall in big RWU games as a ref. Is something that I have to live with ............. priceless

We want to win and host. Winning has always been the plan, we have the best chance on our home floor to extend the season. So it will be to our benifit to give GC a lost on thier home court. See how easy things are for us? What are our chances? Please don't answer that let a dying man have hope. I am going to pray and fast now up until game time. Have a good day. Coach

Hoops, We threw the ball away and when that did not work after being up 13 pts with 6 minutes to play we threw the ball away more. Try and try again and eventually you will succeed. Oh I forgot we were suppose to win the game. I must of gave them the wrong game plan. Well it's not my first mistake that I've made this year and the way things are going we want have many more games to play.(smile) Yes there is the good news of having Tim Jones for two more years. I would of rather had him this year with Raheim and Mike. Those two guys deserved better than what we were able to provide so far. I will never make predictions but if we are playing next week at this time that would not surprise me. All season long we have had the ability to do better however there remains two sides to the Curry coin if we are not playing next week at this time I would not be surprised by that either. Thanks for asking for my input after a game like last night this is therapy. I need it!

Good Day Gentlemen, You all have been very open and honest about your opinions. The collective knowledge on this board is FANTASTIC (no pun intended)OK it was intended. Thanks for taking it easy on James and me too for that matter. I will not say much here accept there is so much more to coaching than coaching and believe it or not I really enjoy it all. The great thing about our passion for the sport,conference or team is that only time will tell if our efforts was worth the results. The really good thing is if things do not work out the way we want them to we get to try again. Yes hope does spring eternal. I'll check in with you guys at season's end.Go Teams Go, Not only a coach but a big fan.MCW

Hoops Thanks for calling me coach. They started together vs CSU but Bartelle got sick and did not play but a few minutes.
