Did someone say something about D1 quality? I would have to agree with Coleman that such an idea is delusional.
I do agree with some of what cavs said. I think the point being made by cavs is that this conference is weak. It definitely is. However, I don't think that anyone can honestly say that this conference has been strong for a long time. Example: when is the last time we saw more than one PAC team ranked in the Top 25? When is the last time we have had 2 or more teams make it to the tourney and then go past their first game? I might be wrong, but I doubt the last question has ever occurred.
Just having one good team in the conference doesn't make it a good conference. Gwynedd was good with Badou, but never great. They needed a few things to make it there: a dominating PG, Badou needed to be able to play D, and a better supporting staff. Also, the Cavs were good, maybe great in their best runs, but who else was there with them?
Right now the conference needs some work. When and if Alvernia gets into the tourney in March, they won't probably make it past the first weekend. (the can only play 7-8 guys). Plus, they won't be getting their home refs that they are so famous for, as everybody knows their schedule is weak (besides their D1 game) and they won't be given a home game.
By the way, cavs, if you think Cabrini is going somewhere with Macciocca, you are either drunk or high or both. Macciocca doesn't recruit, is hated by his players (and parents), and might have gotten the job based on he and his family's bank statements. Dzik deserved a better replacement - I give Coach M two years.
