MBB: North Coast Athletic Conference

[smedindy]

It's not that hard to believe, actually. Deals are being made this summer for the annual bloodlettings of the low-majors. Those are usually one-year deals and everyone is negotiating now.

I just clicked on my local D-1 program (Florida Atlantic) and there's no mention of 2012-13.

I see there is a new assistant at Denison - Matt Winters. Where is he from?

The 4th team in the Mose Hole will be Geneva who will play Marietta and John Carroll......and will pick up two losses.

I don't see the schedule linked from the Wooster website anywhere. How did you find this?

Ok, so the Wooster schedule says that they're playing their exhibition game at Wyoming.  My prior detective work had revealed that the "W" team, who had played in the NIT last year, was the University of Washington.  Wyoming did not, at least according to the bracket that I've seen at the NCAA site.

You're right, I messed that up. I saw they played a couple of games after their conference tournament and assumed it was the NIT. They played in the Collegiate Basketball Invitational, whatever that is.

Head Coach at Wyoming is Larry Shyatt who is a 1973 graduate of Wooster. 
Here is a link to his bio page: http://www.wyomingathletics.com/sports/m-baskbl/mtt/shyatt_larry00.html

They have the NIT, the CBI and the CIT now. The CIT is usually a lot of mid-majors. The CBI plays a best-of-three series for the title (one game on each home court).

I used the linked URL for last year's schedule, and just changed the year, on the chance that the schedule might be posted, but just not yet linked.

Wooster is listed as having a road game against Sheridan College in Ontario, Canada.  They look to be pretty good, compiling a record of 24-10 last season.

Do Canadian Colleges play international rules?

[woosterbooster]

Canadian rules.  Ice.  Boarding.  Penalty boxes. 

Seriously, that's a good question.  I didn't know, but found this on the Ontario Basketball website, of which Sheridan is a member:

"Ontario Basketball competes under International Basketball Federation (FIBA) rules."

The Wooster players, at least some of them, will at least have a bit of experience with them, given their trip to Ireland last summer.

[Dave 'd-mac' McHugh]

I am pretty sure they play under international rules... I actually played high school ball against Canadian schools and I know they had the former trapezoid (which was done away with in October of 2010). And according to the CCAA website, they are governed by FIBA rules. Having experienced that in high school, that basically means that since the game is in Canada, it will be FIBA rules... if the game is in the US, it is US rules.
