A 10 team USASC doesn't really require that bad of a schedule. You play one weekend in Dec. and from the second weekend in Jan til the end. The travel partners play during the week and the pre-GSAC involved schools could still opt for weeknights to play other games as well. All that travel would have half of the schools miss one Friday class in Dec., 2 in Jan. and 2 in Feb(if you made the conference tournament). We have a Jan Term so that means we would never miss more than 2 classes per term. The reason I mention that is that it seems to always come up in the discussion when we talk about this reclassification. The two biggies are travel expense and class time. If I played everyone in that league on a weekend schedule it would cost me 8 hotel nights. We have 9 hotel nights this season. That would give everybody 18 conference games and only 7 others to go get. You wouldn't have to play another game that required an overnight stay if you didn't want to. Let's take a vote of the public. Is this a good idea?

+1 Coach! Your outlining the nitty-gritty details of how a new USAC would work (with hotel nights and class days missed) advances the discussion.

Another option would be to go divisions with double round-robin intra-division and single round-robin inter-division. That results in fewer games for everyone so it might not answer the scheduling question of a 25-game season.

I personally like it. I think that it makes Division III even more attractive!

Coach Haynes is the man
Coach,
I play ball with a guy who played in your gym in 1993, he was not to complimentary. I told him how many improvements you have made in your tenure. He played at St. Andrew's in NC. I had your back coach. I am sure Isenhour is going to make you all keep improving the facilities.

I hope you put a couple threes in his face. Speaking of my back I messed it up working out this week. This is not going to help me get in shape for my alumni game.

GSAC Killer · September 17, 2007, 10:14:49 AM

Speaking of alumni games "you better watch your back Grubby One" The killer is in top shape and he has the first pick!! Not looking good for you.

By the way forget MC Basketball for a minute and How About them Football Scots. Give Coach I a raise! Forget UT football and Mr.Full of it. He needs to resign!!

mattgrubb · September 17, 2007, 02:47:15 PM

Go Scots
Maybe we could get that hightower kid to come over from the football team and play a little PG for the scots

Killer, your alumni team will play like your Y league team, just like warm garbage

I like the divisional play idea but then who from Carolina gets sent to play Ga, TN and Ala. to complete the division? If I count right it's 4 (MC, LC, HC and PC ) and 6 (MU, CNU, GC, NCW, FC, and AU). Someone would have to go play the GSAC schools if you work geographically for divisions (North and South).

Ralph Turner · September 17, 2007, 08:00:17 PM

The Divisions could go 6teams north and 4 teams south, and you take the top 3 from each division to the Tourney. The ASC has 8 and 7 and in some sports the difference is even greater between ASC-East and ASC-West.

GSAC Killer · September 18, 2007, 09:50:55 AM

Grubby One you will need all the help you can get!! My team might have looked like warm garbage but we won and have the same record as you. By the way I am a defending champion of that league. It is not my fault you guys could no afford to keep me on the team.

It is going to be a rebuilding year for your squad when you replace the Killa with Bradley Blair and Andy Chaney!!lol

mattgrubb · September 18, 2007, 12:47:37 PM

you just get your mind right, i have a list of 35 alums who are potential players in the game and you are listed as a participant, not a player, i even have a special guest coaching appearance.

I would kill to have Andy Chingy on this team at the Y.

Also, my special guest coach just confirmed for the game, so get your mind right. My team, no Franchise, is building one block at a time.

GSAC Killer · September 19, 2007, 07:47:27 AM

By the way the only reason people will come out and watch is to see the Killer and Housewright show!! We put 100 on you guys last year! I got the list it looks great!

Anyone interested in playing you can shoot me or Brent Watts an email.

mattgrubb · September 19, 2007, 02:54:49 PM

alright all you gsac maniacs here is my prediction for the might scots starting line up this year and since i am a better person than most of you (you can fill yourself in the blank and lie to yourself if you think you are better than the grubby one) but not all

PG- Jared Laverdie
SG- Quinn "The Ladies Man" Bradley
SF- Alex "I need to eat" Bowers
PF- Timmy "I was made a defensive player by Kendal Wallace" Blakeley
C- Chris "I get beat up alot" Orr

this is a bold prediction based purely on speculation, but i think these are the guys with the personalities who will fight the hardest for the starting roles. 2 sophomores a redshirt sophomore and 2 seniors

This is a bold prediction, players don't gain glory by sitting on the sidelines. You all wait and see and if any of this is inaccurate, it is just b/c the grubby one has info he does not want to disclose.

GSAC Killer · September 20, 2007, 08:47:41 AM

Obviously your info is as WACK as your game!!!

I went by the school or should I say the house KRich built and saw some nice things. New air conditioning unit makes the gym look real nice! I saw the boys play a little and some good signs and not so good ones.

My potential line-up includes:
E.Watson
Q.Bradley
A.Bowers
J.Holliday
A.Shumate
but if i was the Coach I would go with a 4 guard line-up(with the transfer from ETSU) and Jeremy Holliday.

Watts get your mind right. The alumni Champ is working out!!

mattgrubb · September 20, 2007, 01:50:55 PM

please
quit trying to hold down the scots.
First of all, never underestime the strength of the Orr
Second of all, Holliday or Shumate will definitely be in the starting line up at some point
Third, it is really tough to start at PG as a freshman
Fourth, I bet you will see the Q at point at some point

mattgrubb · September 21, 2007, 03:37:57 PM

Since Lambert runs the GSAC and makes every decision himself( i am referring to earlier arguments on this board) He needs to get the GSAC to sign up for D3scoreboard.com

come randy

Great news from Panthersville, USA. Robby Lawrence was drafted last night in the CBA draft by the Rio Grande Valley Silverados. He was taken in the 6th and final round. As I checked the list of the 60 draftees, Robby was the only D3 guy taken. Other 6th round picks included Haluska(Iowa) and Landry(Purdue). His team took two other guys that he will compete against for time at the PG and SG. Those were Ivan Jenkins(Lambuth) and Jerrius Jackson(Texas Tech). I feel like I am a fairly humble fellow but there will be no hiding the smile on my face today when I get to tell everyone I know about this. What really makes me proud is that Robby was a solid student, son of a minister(and not in the typical, go nuts way), hard working young man who affirmed to me each day that I was in the right profession.
