I am not a huge fan of Hope-Calvin opening MIAA play against each other. I rather see them get into the MIAA season with a game or two rather than have it right after Christmas when students at one or the other school aren't necessarily around. Hopefully, after 2010-11 that'll switch up again.

I saw on another board that Wittenberg has an open date for next year.

Paging GVW....Please call Witt. Schedule game.

GVW and KVS please call the GRSHOF people and tell them you will play a MIAA/WHAC challenge only.  Calvin/ Hope games should not be non league unless they meet in the NCAA tournament.

Agreed. I can't believe I am about to say this but I am getting tired of 4 Hope-Calvin meetings a year. (Did we hit five once even?) That's just too much. I think it actually devalues The Rivalry. 

Yeah...soon it will be like playing ALMA for Hope...just win when it matters

IWU loses 77-76 after UWSP scores with 2.2 seconds left!

John Beilein should watch the tape of how UWSP defended the court the last 2.2 seconds.

Wasn't that unbelievable? I saw that and - I don't say this lightly - said to myself that if someone puts together that bad of a defensive plan at crunch time, he should lose his job. Michigan's players ought to be furious at the coaching staff.

And this isn't even taking into account the refusal to guard the inbounder, a strategy for which arguments have been made on this board, even though I think you always guard the inbounder in those situations.

Until you have coached a team in crunch time of a tournament you should say everything lightly.....

turner made a shot that is made  unguarded in practice about 5% of the time and even less in a game...if you said, OSU will get off a shot that has a 5% chance of going in....I think you would take that.
Maybe you should talk to Beilein...your ideas will get you hired!

All MIAA teams announced - Verkaik is named the MVP.

I'm more than a little surprised to see only two Hope women on the All-MIAA team ... what am I missing here? Seems like all five Dutch starters (as well as a few off the bench) would start on any other MIAA team. 

That may or may not be the case.  I think most likely the Hope women don't have the stats like the other women do because they play fewer minutes per game in Morehouse's system.  Not a single Hope player made the most minutes played list for the conference season.  http://miaa.org/wbb/stats/0910/confonly.htm ........in fact you'll find very few Hope players in many of the individual stat leaders categories.

In MIAA play

Greene 21.4 min
Snikkers 17.4
Bruinsma 19.1
Ellis 18.8
Cowen 19.2

I think the league coaches are more than able to overlook stats in selecting an all-league team...it is more likely that each team be represented...having watched quite a few games...the players representing each school would more than likely start on every other team in the league...(I do think that Hope has more 2nd teamers that would start on many other teams...Miranda DeKuiper comes to mind.)
