Im not sure Lambert would take the job if offered. Sure it is double the pay, but it is double the work as well. He loves to watch his son play high school basketball and if he took this job that wouldnt be possible. Im sure Randy would like to elevate his coaching but when your interview is four hours long of questions like show me your motion offense and how would you get chris lofton the ball, I'm not sure if that is for my man Randy.

Congrats to Raul, Monte, Greg, Big E, teyon winton, and most of all Chaney on graduating. Good job former MC ballers.

Also to the great Hern dog. You are the man. Hugger of all things green, one of the all time greats in MC history. Gotta give my props to my man Joshua Herndon.

In answer to a previous question, the University of Chicago was a founding member of the Big Ten Conference then dropped out in 1946 and applied for D3 status in 1947. U of C finally got approved for D3 status in 1974. Well the timeline may be off a little but you get the picture...

There is one gross inaccuracy in that web page.

The first women's intercollegiate basketball team to fly was the Flying Queens from Wayland Baptist College beginning with a couple of charters in 1948 by Hutcherson Flying Service.

The Flying Queens have won over 1300 games.

Wow, it got deep in here, you guys need to go on jeopardy, so you all can answer my question?

back to the real subject, those of us in knoxville/maryville feel as if lambert is already gone. Even though it is not a done deal yet. How many D3 coaches can you name who have gone to the big time in the past 10 years.

I will say the power conferences ie Big ten, SEC, ACC, and CAA (yes, i know but let's give GMU their credit) and this way i can reference Tony Shaver from Hampden Sydney.
The D3 legend himself Bo Ryan, let's call it wisconsin legend Bo Ryan

Can you guys name any other?

Sorry Pat.

all of you huntingdon hawks need to enjoy a fresh hot Papa John's Pizza from your local neighborhood Papa John's restaurant in the greater montgomery area and make sure you pay full price, there are 6 of them in montgomery

any of you murvul insiders got any news on new recruits and what will happen to the recruits if lambert leaves

I will tell you the second part of that question, Dee bell will hit the ground runnin'
Dee is a stud and he would be more than capable of carrying the flame and if the college did not move him to the men's job they would be making a terrible mistake.

I wonder how many other Division III schools have similar slogans with an emphasis on winning? I see clearly now why the ODAC didn't want Maryville back, and the SCAC just plain didn't want Maryville. Little academic pride? Why can't he say if you want to be a Fullbright or Rhodes Scholar come to Maryville? Or if you want to go to an Ivy League grad school come to Maryville? Yes, I'm being provocative again ....

mattgrubb · May 24, 2006, 01:16:42 PM

wilburt i question your priorities again

How many good scholars does Vanderbilt produce?

okay, now how many of them are basketball players?
Good point grubby one, academics have their place, just not on the basketball team

Oh and by the way congrats to my teammate Timmy "Mule" Leroy, M.D. class of 00, who is now doing his residency

I'm not so sure Dee Bell would leave his girls for the mens position. He is very excited about his team for next year, those returning and his new recruits. He sees a chance to make a run in the NCAA tournament. Not so sure he would give that up as fast as you think.
