MBB: Coast 2 Coast Athletic Conference

[ycp]

I haven't seen a better ref than him in d3 in 40 years of watching this level.

That might be one of the funniest things I have ever read on this board.

[Matt Letourneau]

Yes, you're right.  He played very well and kept everyone around him in the right gameplan.

BUT...as I say, I don't begrudge them the win, but let's not pretend both teams were equally hurt by the way the game was called.  Not even close.  Every time Catholic would start to get momentum, they got killed by a bad call.  I don't recall Haney having to play with 4 fouls cause he got called for a ridiculous charge after rebounding the ball.  Nobody got nabbed for a phantom intentional foul.  And DiStephano at least earned his tech.  Let's see what happens when the lead ref doesn't belong in a DELETED.  (Having thought about it after posting, I decided well it might have been true, what I wrote was kind of mean.)

I'm moving on and Catholic better be moving on, cause Salisbury on Wed, even at home, will be no picnic.  Thoes guys can play!

[Coach C]

As I understand it, Coach Gamber junior had already been warned about standing on the sideline.  Plus, I have heard officials mention in the past that he is fairly active for an assistant coach.  The rule book is clear that only the head coach may stand.  I am not a friend of the zebras, but it usually takes a good bit to get warned and once you are warned you better sit on your hands and not open your mouth or you will lucky to make it though the game.

Again as a disclaimer, I'm not a guy who does a lot of bitching about the refs, and my team did win. But I have eyes and a good understanding of what having two feet planted in the same spot for 5 seconds is, but i'll leave it at that.
    As for Dean, the warning came in a previous game. He was not spoken to in this game. Plus in this instance he did not "stand up" he clapped his hands while hopping up in his seat. I was 5 feet away.

I know its only Monday afternoon but anyone have any predictions for this weeks weds. games?  York goes into Gallaudet where they just beat Catholic.  Always a tough place to play, and with a big game on Saturday at home against Salisbury, its important the Spartans dont look past them.  Any thoughts?

[coach t]

In the two games last year, Gallaudet lost to York by 7 and by 4. Two close games. This year, Gallaudet is an even more decent team with the addition of two freshmen players, Mowl and Weedon.

A comment by Matt, a Catholic fan who saw the game on Saturday I believe had this to say about Mowl who is a freshman:

"Yes, you're right.  He played very well and kept everyone around him in the right gameplan."

I look for a packed fieldhouse at Gallaudet for the game this Wednesday. I do have to add that Gallaudet will need to step up once again if York is to be beaten.

Plus, I am not sure York can afford a third CAC loss so pressure is on them.

[Pat Coleman]

That should be very interesting. I would also wonder if Gallaudet's campus can get up for York the way it gets up for Catholic.

[bisonpride]

Wait and see.. You can (and are more than welcome to..) go to the game and find out if the campus can get up for York like it did against Catholic, if you would like to.

[Matt Letourneau]

Well, I doubt very much there will be an idiot dressed up like a nun and a guy with a stupid sign that said "Catechsim This," which doesn't make sense and wasn't even funny. 

[mwgoonie]

yeah, who would ever dress up in a custome to go to a d3 basketball game?
Or bring drums for that matter?

[muchacho]

and yeah...what the hell is a custome. oh thats right...you went to mary washington when it was still a college and not a university.

[mwgoonie]

Yes, why yes I did. Back when MW a team to be reckoned with.
Nowadays?...Not so much.
There was hope at the beginning of the season but the eagles roster has been hurt too much for even Coach Wood to contend with.

We lost Jon Hurd and Josh Wilson before the season. Now A.J. Fitzgerald has been missing from the roseter since the begining of the semester.

Still I look forward to the games and rest of the season, as we should. Heck, I can't wait for 2/1 at CUA. should be rockin'.

Who knows...maybe we'll see a custome or two there

[mwcsid]

Ahh, the good old days.   
I miss having to run across the gym at a timeout to tell people theirs drums (or staffs and flowing robes, in some cases) weren't welcome.

Big week in the CAC this week, but I guess every week is big, as ANY team can beat any other on a given night. Good luck to all...

[Pat Coleman]

Flowing robes aren't welcome? Pass me a copy of the dress code and we'll make sure to post it on the blog or something.

[Warren Thompson]

Flowing robes aren't welcome? Pass me a copy of the dress code and we'll make sure to post it on the blog or something.

Does this mean that at certain basketball venues Druids are prohibited from attending?
