MBB: Coast 2 Coast Athletic Conference

[Matt Letourneau]

Sure, he got a lot of out his team, I suppose, but I would be shocked if I was sitting at midcourt and Coach K was coaching a game at DuFour and I heard that kind of thing.

And he wouldn't get away with it at the D-1 level anyway---D3 refs are intimidated enough not to T him up.  Try that on an ACC ref and you're watching the game from the lockeroom every night.

Whatever, lets move on to the next set of games.  Every game from here on out is tough, particularly on the road.  St. Mary's needs a win and has a really talented player to get one with.

Now that I know that kitchenrat called the games for WVYC, I finally know who you are!!!  Glad to know you are around.  Hope all is well!

Mary Wash beats Gally in a struggle.

Goucher gets win #2 at home against SSU

York pounds Marymount.

Coach K is one of the biggest culprits of using four letters words and getting into his players.  His practices are even worse.  Remeber he is a disciple of Bobby Knight.  He just hides it better.  Rest assured when he's got his arm around a player during a game, he isn't complimenting his jumper. 

[Matt Letourneau]

Yeah, that's exactly my point.   As I said, a coach should be free to say or do whatever he wants within reason with his team, during the game, but he shouldn't do it so that a large number of fans can hear it.  If you can hear it at midcourt almost midway up the top of the bleachers, its too loud.  People even farther away heard it.  And its not like it was the first time.

[kitchenrat]

Dan,

   It sure was alot of fun to watch you guys play.

[Coach C]

I have sat right behind Coach K and I have never heard an F bomb.  gary William, now that's another story.

One of the things that I wish coaches, players and fans remembered (and yeah, I have forgoten it on occasion too) is that kids go to these games. 

The F bomb is fine when used in the huddle or one on one.  But when the fans can hear it, it's a problem.

I think if we were to go back to the archives, we had this same debate over Coach Woods and his vulgarity within the past year or two.  Interesting...

Halftime at Goolrick,
GAL 41, UMW 35

Haney 16 points

Baker 8 for UMW, Pierce 7

UMW is just 2-13 from three in the first half.

Final:
UMW 70, GAL 69

Eagles win despite three bad calls by the same ref in the last eight seconds, who looked like he was trying to give the game to Gally.

[kitchenrat]

At the half YCP 33 MMU 20. Bushy has 9.

"Eagles win despite three bad calls by the same ref in the last eight seconds, who looked like he was trying to give the game to Gally."

Mr. mwcsid,

I was at the game and I cannot understand what you are saying about the three calls by the same ref in the last 8 seconds. Gallaudet had the ball under their own basket inbounding to Haney in the corner. He was immediately trapped by two and then three defenders. He was surely trapped and threw a desperation shot at the buzzer.

If there were any bad calls, a foul could have been called sending Haney to the line for possible game tying or winning free throws. None were called.

Therefore, you brought up the need for me to say that you are just simply disappointed that UMW struggled today and were very lucky to get out of your own gym alive!

Face it.....Gallaudet is a tough team and any team taking Gallaudet lightly will be beaten. Get over your disappointment and stop blaming the refs.

Thank you.
