MBB: USA South Conference

[PrideSportBBallGuy]

I will be honest its tough for me to actually choose a team.  I think about 10 people could make first team.

1st Team
Lenny Hall (poty) NCWC
Davon Barton CNU
Adam Nicholson GC
Lynn Bright GC
Jermiah Lawerence SU

2nd Team
Donte Seldon CNU
Trey Drake NCWC (ROTY)
John Godsey FC
Mouktar Fawehinmi SU
Cedric Jones FC

Hon Mention
Lenzie Adams SU
Cory McDaniel AU
Theo Baker CNU
Dragon Radmonvich MU
Damien Brown AU

Coach of the Year Brian Galuski GC

If AU doesn't get a player on the first or second team and Greensboro places two first teamers, doesn't Jimmy Allen at Averett deserve Coach of the Year honors?

Why does that make a difference?  They finished 9-3 in the conference.  Some expected that.  They lost to SU gave them thier only win.  GC was 12-13 last year.  GC has first winning season in a long time and takes a share of the title.  Based on your reasoning Coach Harris deserves coach of the year. They have quite a few All-conference picks, but they only won one game and beat AU. C'mon man.

btw... Congrats Greensboro.
Very tough crew...  must have shot 70% frm the arch!

First off, you make no sense with the Harris argument.  Also, Greensboro should be rewarded for being so bad for so long?  No doubt, Coach Galuski has done a great job.  He is easily a candidate for COY.

My point is Averett won a share of the title with a far less talented team (According to your all-conference picks).  As for Shenandoah beating Averett, it is irrelevant to the coach of the year argument.  Sometimes teams have poor outings...much like Greensboro's game at Ferrum...thanks for losing that one by the way, the top seed is sweet.

Another thing to look at is the fact that Averett experienced a world of injuries this season.  Rumley out seven games, Eubanks out six, McDaniel out five.  Averett dressed their entire team only five times this season.

Lastly, Allen has a win over the number one team in the nation and defending national champions.  How many ranked teams did GC beat?  Averett beat two.

Remember that SU knocked off AU while AU had all their guys injured.  Not that I want to take anything away from the SU win.

What was that game final score when Greensboro beat AU at home. I just forgot about that 76-41 score. (Don't even blame it on a player being hurt.)  That SU loss, I still think should penalize AU it gave SU their only win in conference.  I never even said anything before but we got "homer'ed" by the this one official when we went up to AU.  On back to back years I believe its Roger Norrell.  Always techical fouls called when he is doing a game.   Always the other team getting a techical foul too. Any NCWC fan can tell me.  Lenny Hall of all people got one called 1/27/07 game. I never thought that kid to be a problem.  Seen him play a couple times and looks to have a good head on his shoulders.

Oh Greensboro beat two rank teams, or teams that were ranked at one point in the season AU and CNU.  They also beat John Carroll a team considered for the polls and who won the OAC.  A very strong conference.

Just a few thoughts for you to ponder tomorrow when your mom changes your diaper.

First off, I am sure Narch will be in touch with some grammaticals in the above post.  Second, 76-41 was the margin last year Einstein. (Way to be on top of things).  It was 79-55 this year with no Jonathan Rumley, who is a difference maker for AU.

I realize recruiting is a part of coaching and Galuski should be considered.  However, Averett lost four starters from last season, didn't match-up well with anyone in the conference, and still managed to take home the top seed.  I am just saying that Allen did more with what he had to work with than anyone else in the conference did.

Uh oh, gotta go.  I think I need a change. MOMMMIIIEEE!

in case you didn't realize it I said I forgot the score and were trying to get you look at the scores from both years.

[hasanova]

thanks, psbbg.

that makes it -

notamensa 1 (to stay)
roundbll 0

come on, hasanova. i was already counting your vote. i will need it to offset cnu85, who will surely vote in favor of his drinking buddy (and who knows what other kind of buddy).

Sorry, notamensa.   I wasn't feeling well today, so I'm out of the loop a bit.  Of course, you get my endorsement. 

[notamensa]

thanks, hasanova. unfortunately, mr roundbll hasnt accepted my challenge to let the posters here decide who should log off for the last time, so it looks like were all stuck with him. instead, he tries to bully me off the board. i never picked this fight, and why he is so infatuated with a teenager is a real mystery. as the object of his affection, i think its really, really creepy, but im not going to be bullied by anyone.

but, for anyone interested in this tawdry, juvenile account, it is –

notamensa – 2 votes (to stay)
roundbll – 0 votes


feel better, hasanova. get well soon.

[narch]

but, for anyone interested in this tawdry, juvenile account, it is –

notamensa – 2 votes (to stay)
roundbll – 0 votes

it is juvenile....




i'm voting for roundbll, 'cause i love an underdog

[narch]

using showstoppa's rationale for coty and psbbg's all-conference list, it's clear that coach smith at mu is the coty...4th place in the conference with just 1 hon mention all-conf player while every other team had at least 2 players on the psbbg all-conference team...that's gotta get you some votes, right?[/sarcasm]

[narch]

First off, I am sure Narch will be in touch with some grammaticals in the above post. 

i've given up...for now

is grammaticals a word, or did you make that up...gotta go to dictionary.com and...oh, that's right, i've given that up

[notamensa]

it is juvenile....

i'm voting for roundbll, 'cause i love an underdog

like i said, i didnt start this. and frankly, im quite surprised by your vote. maybe you prefer golden oldie song lyrics to basketball discussion. oh, wait, i get it. im a cnu fan, and from what weve been able to tell, roundbll might not be.

notamensa – 2 votes (to stay)
roundbll – 1 vote

[narch]

like i said, i didnt start this. and frankly, im quite surprised by your vote. maybe you prefer golden oldie song lyrics to basketball discussion.

i told you exactly why i voted for roundbll...no need to try to analyze it (although i am an aerosmith fan, and the ability to work walk this way into a basketball conversation is an art that needs to be recognized in some way)

in all seriousness...why do you care? you call it "tawdry" and "juvenile", yet you're clearly keeping score - rise above it or embrace it for what it is, and it will probably go away...your continued reaction simply fuels the fire

[PrideSportBBallGuy]

Ok here we go.

Narch is right on how juvenile keeping score is

YES 2
NO 0

Score is 2 yes's to 0 no's. (Votes ar Narch and PSBBG)

Sorry I couldn't resist.  It's a joke and I am done.

[notamensa]

go to one of roundblls posts and click on his name. scroll to the bottom of the page and click on "show the last posts of this person." then read the vile stream of "art" that he has directed at me without provocation. you are as disgusting as he is if you welcome the contribution he has made to this forum. i actually thought that you were the class of the usasac posters here, and said so defending you earlier this season. i guess i was wrong. if you would rather have roundbll than me, then fine, thats what you get. i have better things to do.

my last act here will be to smite narch and to applaud hasanova to triple-figures karma.
