E,


I think they've got some decent young guys who played well at the end of the season. They might have made the change at the right time. A new system and some timely recruiting. They aren't going to be competing for titles, but they should be competing for a playoff spot next year.

And thats the problem. ENC "just" competes to make the playoffs. Yeah its great that the young guys competed during the end of the season, but competiton begins first game of the year. It just feels like every year the basketball team is rebuilding. When I came in my freshman year the team was rebuilding after lossing some key players and competing in the conference championships in 2000. Then my sophmore year we were rebuilding again because we had a new coach. Then junior year Zink brought in his recruits, we were rebuilding again, then senior year we were rebuilding again.  Next year will be another rebuliding year. New coach, new style. Then the year after he will probably bring in some players from Indiana. The prgram seems like it is the "BIG DIG". All I'm saying is that its time that ENC becomes a stable program. They have the talent. Luc Jasmin is becoming a beast, chris corey is a pure shooter, JP is the most athletic kid in the league, Ricardo can do damage, and the point guard is pretty solid, Duda is a workhorse, Chrisos palys with the biggest heart. I mean cmon lets go ENC and get these W's. Its time folks. No more phrases "They are rebuilding" please.

Well let the rebuilding phase begin again and again and again. When is ENC going to stop rebuilding and just start competing?

Rumor has it that Dana Barros is going to be the first assistant at Northeastern next year under new coach Cohen

Actually its not a rumor. I got an inside tip and I was told by someone who works closely with Northeastern basketball that Dana Barros will be associate head coach, former bc palyer Uki Agabi will be assistant coach and some gentlemen from Yale will also be an assistant coach. If ENC really had a chance to get Barros and they didin't than I think they really lost out on a once in a life time opportunity. Oh well I'm sure they will find a good coach for the job!

I'am not teaching I work in marketing for the Boston City schools in helping develop their athletic websites and notifying their communities about their athletes acheivements. You can consider me a teacher because I'am teaching these young boys the game of basketball. I'am still a quiet guy but when I coach I'am a totally different person. I had a passion when I played and now I have passion as a coach.

Thanks. I am currently working on my Masters at ENC and hopefully I will graduate in may of 07.  My goal is to coach college basketball eventually.  Right now I have been working with the Northeastern Mens basketball team so I can get some sort of experience.  As for ENC who knows what may happen?

Oh no you found out who I was, just kidding.  I'am coaching at Fenway High School boys varsity team. we just joined the MIAA this year.  They were playing in a weak charter school league, now we play in the Boston City League.  I enjoyed my first year being a head coach even though alot of older coaches thought I was too young to be at that position, but hey I was able to take the school to their first ever state tournamnet in school history.

Hello hope everyone is doing well.  This is my first time posting, but not my last.  I know a few things about the ccc because I played in it.  I also just heard about coach zink leaving.  I hope everything works out well with him and his family and may God bless his journey in Africa.  He had a rough four years, but all in all he was a good coach. As a player I learned alot from him and now being a coach head coach myself, I'am understanding some of the things they go through. Anyway thats my two cents and I hope to chat with everyone in the future!
