Well a congratulations goes out to Mike Moore the overwhelming choice as player of the year! A dismal finish to the season should not take any shine off this fine accomplishment. He has been a steady performer for the DePauw tigers and will be missed by his teammates,though I am sure all the rest of the conference is happy to say goodbye. Good luck to you Mike at whatever you choose to do.You have one of the finest educations that is available in this country and a truck load of good basketball friends and memories.

Ditto on Mike Moore's honors for the 2008-09 basketball campaign. Fans of the other SCAC teams indeed will be glad to see him graduated!

With all of his wonderful accolades, it was somewhat surprising to see DePauw finish the season on a downer. I am guessing DPU needed one more player of note to have gotten them further this season. I actually think Moore was a more effective player and force his junior year when he played his natural position - PG. I know being the star player meant DePauw counted on him to score more. Memphis proved you could place your best scorer at the point and he could generate offense in a lot of ways. DPU should have done the same with Moore.

Is the SCAC going to be able to continue flying halfway around the country to play each other? The NYTimes article on college and university athletics is a bit sobering....

Anyone know of any news on the hiring of an assistant coach at Hendrix?

No news of a hiring on the Hendrix Athletics web site. Word is that it is a part-time job and the position has been offered to a recent Warrior.

Centenary LA basketball drew post-season bans because of APR's.

With the question of Centenary's future in D-1, I also found that Centenary offers Club Lacrosse.

Is there synergy here?

We saw BSC announce their move to D-III in May of 2006. Has anyone heard anything from the SCAC office?

read the waiting on the board article...it does seem that the school has some serious $ issues, heck it sounds like they could even be taken over by the for profits from some of the comments...of course, they did hire a southwestern alum for president so maybe a move to d3 happens

Drew Gaeng, graduate of Roanoke College, will be the new men's basketball assistant at Hendrix.

Speaking of assistant hiring, Centre has hired Kyle Hankins to fill the slot vacated by the departing Matt Nestheide. Kyle is originally from Indiana and played at Morehead State. He has been an assistant coach at Kentucky Wesleyan (DII). Welcome Kyle to the SCAC and the Colonels.

Welcome aboard.

Always glad to have more Hendrix fans.

Hendrix2009, glad to have you posting. I hope to see Hendrix play a few times next season and get acquainted with some of the new players. My son - not a basketball player - just graduated from Hendrix. Living in Memphis, it's a relatively easy drive to Conway to see games, plus we follow the SCAC closely via games at Mallory Gym at Rhodes. Hope your son has a fantastic 4 years at Hendrix like my son did.

Thanks Mr. Turner and pbrooks3! We are looking forward to attending the Hendrix games. We will be at all the games they play in Texas and as many of the home games as possible. The 2009-2010 schedule is out and there is a tournament in Memphis in November. My husband has a birthday in November and family in Memphis. I'm thinking a plane ticket to Memphis for his birthday to visit with family and watch his son play basketball would work out real well!

On a fun note, the school colors my son graduated from are orange and black so we have the right colors to wear to Hendrix games already.

He hasn't gotten confirmation yet, but my son hopes to room with another freshman player that he has been in contact with. My son is 6' 7" and the other player is 6' 9" . They will make quite the pair!

Hendrix2009, I am impressed that your son and this other young man will be contributing some major length to the basketball team. It looks like the team has a pretty favorable league travel schedule for 2009-10 with only one weekend trip playing schools from the eastern side. You'll get your share of Texas games and some good ones in the home gym.

My wife and I are serious SCAC basketball supporters with both of our kids having graduated from SCAC schools - my daughter is a Centre grad and my son just finished at Hendrix. We support 3 teams in the following order 1) Centre 2) Hendrix and 3) Rhodes. I live 2 blocks from Rhodes.

Get ready in a few months to see some competitive D3 hoops.
