MBB: USA South Conference

[narch]

not to move this away from mourning cj woolum, but i saw this on the usasac site...http://usasouth.net/sports/mbkb/2012-13/releases/20130206ttou84

can't say i'm shocked to see the piedmont coach step down given what happened this season, but it's sad to see from a conference standpoint  - coaching stability is typically a significant step toward athletic success, and the pc coach didn't even last the entire season

i think lee is happy doing what he's doing, but I don't think PC would have cancelled the season with lee at the helm...

... I was told Lee was let go, too ...

What a big win for the Maker of Men Coach Wallace.  Is Lagrange or Greensboro the team to watch in the conference tourney?

I think Murvul's record is a bigger surprise than Piedmont's season.

pc - not sure who your source is, but i can tell you that i had dinner with lee (my source) about 2 months ago and he mentioned that he was contemplating his next step and possibly leaving pc...he is running a small, growing business and said he was at a crossroads with regard to the time the business would demand to continue to grow - when lee told me he had resigned, i wasn't shocked (other than i know how much he enjoyed coaching d3 student-athletes) - not sure i would categorize his departure as being "let go"...

yes...as sid...the conversation we had two months ago was in regard to his position as sid...if your source is saying he was let go, I believe your source is not accurate

[Pat Coleman]

His name is conspicuously absent from the staff list and former SID Richard Dombrowsky is listed as interim SID.

I would not want to play either Greensboro or LaGrange right now or in the tournament.  I think Murvul is better than its record but if they cannot win games....

why would PC list someone who resigned over two weeks ago on their website?

[scottiedoug]

There are several things going on at Piedmont about which one could ask "why?"

[Pat Coleman]

I wasn't able to divine which part of my statement you were disagreeing with. I feel very good about my source.

CJ's memorial service last night was a great tribute to his life as a coach but more importantly as a person. There was a great list of speakers who hit the proverbial nail on the head when it came to talking about the kind of person he was and how much he meant to the region and the campus. There's no doubt in my mind that each team will be "playing for CJ", if they haven't been already. Fitting note, the women's team played NC Wesleyan the day he died and won by 64 points, which is exactly how old CJ was. Looking forward to the men's game Wednesday against the Bishops on Senior Night.

as do i...i've had a 15+ year personal relationship with my source and he told me months ago that he was considering making this move - could he be full of it?...maybe, but i don't see the upside for him - will respond in more detail to your personal message
