MBB: North Coast Athletic Conference

[Pat Coleman]

Negative. The officials had not left when the video review began. Where the MIAA ran afoul of the NCAA is when the commissioner decided to overturn the result of the game at a later time based on the usage of the videotape. As the NCAA reminded the MIAA, the game is final once the officials leave.

Ghiloni starts Pat Sullivan in the second half??  WHY?  Pat Sullivan is the best we can do? 

Hey, at least Pat Sullivan has a Heisman Trophy; I bet Eberst doesn't!

Tough loss for EC.  Wow.  Two games in a row.  They can not be a happy bunch.

Interesting stat on the Big Red machine.

For shots taken per minutes played Krantz leads the team.  Now why does this bother me?
Here is a freshman shooting .359 from the field and .329 from behind the arc and he is your "go to guy".  HELLO!!  Am I missing something?

Is this OK in Ghiloni's world?  If that doesn't bother him, then we as fans are in for a real long couple of years.

DF,
If the Big Red are so painful to watch, why do you continue to attend games?

[DenisonFan]

DF2:
I also like hitting my fingers with a hammer!!  What kind of question is that?

All I am saying is I don't think it is smart basketball to have someone who has trouble shooting the basket ball shoot it more than your two all-conference players.

If you really think Krantz is better than Hern or Hodgkinson.  Then you are the one that needs to be hit in the head with my hammer.

Krantz is a player.  He is going to get better.  But someone must settle him down and if that isn't up to the coaching staff then so be it.

What's up with the EC's inability to finish a game?  That is 2 games in a row where they have blown double digit leads in the 2nd half.  Looks like they need to be spending a little more time at the ft line during practice.  Their ft shooting, or lack thereof, is a big reason they are losing these games.

[DenisonFan]

It sure looks like EC is going to get another shot at either Wabash or OW in the first round.  Maybe they can finish the deal when it really matters in tournament play.

good easy win for witt yesterday, as if that wasnt expected. witt was able to get a lot of players some playing time, and rest up players. 

witt should move up this week in the polls and regional rankings as carnegie mellon lost.

also, augustana lost as well last night

[ScotsFan]

also, augustana lost as well last night

Not only did Augie lose last night, that was their 2nd consecutive loss in the week.  They lost to Wheaton on Wednesday.  With Hope losing as well to Calvin on Wednesday, Witt could move up to 4th.  That would put 3 Ohio schools in the top 5 with B-W probably moving up to 3rd!

What kind of question is that?

I'd say it's a pretty simple question.  I think it is funny that you've presented yourself as just a "fan" of Denison, yet you've made trips to Cleveland and Crawfordsville to watch a team that, by your own admission, doesn't do things very well.  That just seems very loyal to me.  Meanwhile, you've criticized almost everyone in the program at one point or another, except for one player, who seems to do no wrong in your eyes.

You've just answered your own question...

Oh I like where this rivalry between Denison fans is going!!!  Should provide some entertaining reading over the next couple of days.

On a different note,  sounds like a great win for the Bishops.  They won a game when they needed to make plays to not only get themselves out of a funk early but to win the game in the end.  I was unable to be in attendance but it sounds like a game when both teams were hitting big shots.  Earlham has always been a tough place to play and the place a that OWU historically plays the worst.  I have no idea why.  Anyways, great win but I have a feeling that we are going to see the Quakers again in the tournament.

DF2,
Where have you been all year?

It is OK to name names.  You have something to say, say it.
That is what this forum is all about.

I have NEVER criticized players.  I have criticized the coaching decisions on who is on  the floor.  I have critcized all season long that we are not a deep team.

I have said all year long that Hern, Hodgkinson and Izzo should be 30+ minutes a game.   

It is the coaches job to reign guys in and get them to play together.

Tell me where I have criticized a player.  It drives me nuts that guys like you come in when the season is over.  Who cares where I have been, games I have seen.  What difference does that make.

I am a DENISON fan.  So shot me.

Honestly, if you have an opinion then give it to me.  Remember DF2, this is MY OPINION, PERIOD. 

As I have said many times.  I am sure that Denison's coaches will not change a thing they do because I have a comment to make.  So if you have an opinion, say it.

But don't give me some song and dance crap.  Either you support the team or you don't.  I am a big fan.  I like all the players.  It is just my opinion about what can be done, or should be done.

Plus, it is always very easy for me to sit here after the fact and be critical.  Hindsight is always 20/20. 

If you want, tell me what you think.

[woosterbooster]

Excuse me for taking the bull by the horns, but I feel that it's time that we got this out in the open so that perhaps we can move on past it.

DenisonFan -

I'm pretty sure that what DenisonFan2 is implying is that you're not just a fan but the father of one of the players.  If that's the case, I think that you should be upfront about it and say so.  If it's not true, then please let us know.

Personally, if you are not a player's dad, I really don't have much of a problem with your complaints about the Denison program, although you do tend to become pretty repetitive.  Having not seen Denison play, I have no opinion as to whether you're correct in your beliefs.

However, if you are in fact the father of a current Denison player, I think that your comments on here have been in rather poor taste and should be toned down considerably.  I would suspect that your son might agree with my opinion on that.

DenisonFan2 -

I really hope that you're not another D3Hoops poster having taken on a second identity.

[DenisonFan]

I am a former player!! 

I get upset when people lose what I am trying to say.

I actually think Ghiloni has done a very good job.  I am sure that everyone out there has got some opinion about the coach of their teams.  It doesn't mean we don't like the guy.

I am not sitting here calling for the firing of Ghiloni.

I just get upset when I think they poor coaching decisions in critical situations.

I don't sit here and repeat rumors that I hear in the stands at all games.  I am not into second hand comments.

As a former player, I think I am entitled to my opinion.

As far as who DF2 is.   Why would anyone change their name.  Who cares?

I was turned on to this sight for the first time this year and I really enjoy it.
I am sorry if I have offended anyone with my comments.

If the concensus opionion by my fellow posts feel I should sign off for good.

Please, run a quick poll.  Let me hear from you guys.  Simple stay or sign off and I will go with the majority.  And I promise I will not return under some other name.
