Region 6 men's basketball / Re: MBB: USA South Conference

I agree that both Mark Wagner and Justyn Olson should be considered for first team.  My guess is that they took votes from each other and that is how they both ended up on 2nd team.  With that said, who would you take off the first team?

In regards to them getting it "right" on POY.....

Adrian Moore helped his team win 10 straight games into the conference tournament while winning the League.
Spencer Shoffner's team went 2-8 down the stretch and did not qualify.

In conference games the two finished with the following:

Moore - 4th in PPG, 3rd in PP 40 min, 1st in FG's, 5th in FG%, 10th in FT's, 9th FT%, 2nd in Off Rebounds, 10th in Assists, 3rd in Steals
Shoffner - 1st in PPG, 4th in PP 40 min, 2nd in FG's, 28th in FG%, 9th in 3pt FG, 3rd in FT's, 22nd in FT%, 22nd in Assists, 7th in Steals

All I am saying is that based on the information above, I think the coaches got it wrong.  Either which way, they both had great seasons.

All that being said, congrats to Covenant!  Picked 10th and finished 2nd. Proceeded to handle both WPU and Greensboro on their way to the Championship game.  I saw they were up as many as 18 in the 2nd half with just under 7 min left in the game before an unreal LaGrange rally.  Most teams would have fizzled in the OT but Covenant pulled away for a 9 point win.  Congrats to TJ Cox on MVP of the tourney.  Good luck to them in the big dance.

I am sure everyone has had a chance to look at the post season awards.  They got it wrong.  What it should have been was:

COY - Kyle Taylor of Covenant - picked 10th in preseason poll and finished 2nd
POY - Adrian Moore of NCWC - this kid is a Soph and was the best player on the best team
ROY - Dakota King of WPU - they got this one right.

Anybody disagree?

How about Ferrum this week! Went 2-1 and have knocked off both LaGrange and Maryville at home this season. One of the rookies even got some love, see above link.  This league is full of parity. It is anyone's tournament win.

Matthew & Ben,

So what you are saying is that the league may get a 2nd bid other than Averett? I hope so too! That would be great for the league. Time will tell, let's play a few games in the league though before we get ahead of ourselves.

Matthew, the whole Bill Peace name made me laugh. Big 7 days ahead for the league.  Obviously Coach Shields is COY but what is your 1st and 2nd teams?  POY and ROY? Like you said, time for seniors to step up so their careers don't end on a sour note.

Since there is a little bit of time between now and games this weekend, I thought I would pose a question to you all.  What do you all think is the best D-III coaching job in the state of Virginia?  When I say best, take into consideration the following....location of school, budget (salary for coaching staff), facilities, financial aid packaging (most likely a guess), community and alumni support, etc.

How about ranking your best 7 jobs?  Choices are: Averett, Bridgewater, CNU, EMU, E&H, Ferrum, H-S, Lynchburg, Marymount, Mary Washington, RMC, Randolph, Roanoke, Shenandoah, VWC, W&L
