Gordon! I missed the story - what was it about?

Kate! Sad to say I can't make the title game tomorrow. Though it's worth noting, since I enrolled, Wilkes is 2-0 in MAC/MAC-F title games I've missed, and 0-3 in MAC-F title games I've attended.

Ronk! Good to hear from you - and how about your Lady Royals this season? (I know, I know, wrong thread...)

CJ, Wilkes gave it their all yesterday afternoon, and then some. We were in that crowd of over 1,000 when you guys went ahead by ten in the first half. Del Val came within two at the half, but starting trailing early in the second. That's when the crowd & Chris Moran & Team took over. As I'm sure you know by now, it wasn't truly settled until that final buzzer. Most definitely what college basketball is all about!

Tonight at 5 we'll be glued to that computer! Good Luck Aggies!!!

Among many things, it was about Wilkes advancing.

What a game it was... Lots of runs for both teams. If anything was the cause of the Aggies' downfall (except for the two that sent it to OT) it was missed free throws. A lot of them throughout the game. Oswego's sharpshooter Sortino is difficult to stop, as I know being a fan of another SUNYAC team

Definitely nothing to be ashamed of here.

Delaware Valley University will definitely miss Coach Casey Stitzel who resigned today to take the head coaching job at Millersville University. Best luck and good wishes Coach!

I am thinking Delval U will hire a current D3 HC or D3 Assistant. While they win, it's not a school that can/will financially attract someone. My guess is someone from the Mid Atlantic region.

Del Val's 2016/17 schedule is up!!! Thank you Matt Levy!!!

A coach from a different conference but same region (CSAC) said the finalist are the following at Del Val:

Bob Hughes HC ROSEMONT College (CSAC Atlantic Region)
Tim Fusina HC Centenary College (CSAC Atlantic Region)
Nick Nichay AC Franklin and Marshall College (Centennial MA Region)
An assistant coach from the MAC Commonwealth- (MACC Mid Atlantic Region) No clue who
5th and unknown candidate- Dark Horse being kept tight- could be from out of the area or could be the DV assistant coach.

Hoopster, the MAC Commonwealth connection might be Messiah's AC... he has been in the running for a few jobs this year and in years past.

CCHoopster · July 10, 2016, 08:23:57 PM

Thanks Dave. I looked on the Messiah site and he makes sense. 5yrs at Messiah and another 3 at D3 level. Hard for assistants to compete against head coaches. Although he is from Philadelphia and is on the other side of the MAC.

Dave 'd-mac' McHugh · July 12, 2016, 12:53:58 PM

He will break through eventually. Been a finalist a number of times the last few off-seasons.

CC - Did you get any word on when they would like to fill the job? It's going to be a rough Year One for anybody given the players they lost (especially Moran and Sly) and the fact that they will have zero freshmen or transfers coming in. Whoever gets the job needs to be able to recruit like crazy. Casey is a very good coach but an even better recruiter.

Gordon Mann, have you heard anything about a timetable to fill the role? He's going to have one heck of a time with putting together a staff unless he retains a few coaches from the previous staff. None of them appear on the Millersville website as assistant coaches.

I don't think the dark horse is a DVU assistant. I've heard through the rumor mongers that it could be a stunning name. Former bigtime coach somewhere who is on the backend of his career, not looking to move up the ladder, loves the area (Doylestown/Bucks County is a wonderful area) and has plenty of money already. I have no clue whatsoever. He may wind up on the staff if it's true and he doesn't get the job. We'll see.

From what I have heard the coach is selected and has accepted. Others have been notified. I have two names so one is not right. Also the incoming class is still all on board and going to DVU. Coaching changes do not result in empty recruiting classes at the D3 level. Also there were no big names involved. It was who was mentioned above, another D3 HC and the assistant was indeed Mark Seidenburg (Spelling) the Messiah assistant coach who is from Phiily and played at Cardinal Dougherty HS in the Philly Catholic League (see bio and google search name+philadephia basketball).

Is it 10/15?!!

I don't know about an announcement.
