MBB: Great South Athletic Conference

[GSAC Killer]

To all Post Members: Remember this... Lagrange vs Maryville in teh GSAC championship

To base conclusions about what Randy Lambert (or anyone else, for that matter) did or believes on one article in a local newspaper is unworthy of someone who often declares his respect for truth.  This is especially the case when William concludes that Lambert is a racist.

Well said, Scottie.

I've always found the inappropriate and indiscriminate "playing of the race card" distressing.
Sort of reminds me of the story of the boy who cried wolf.

Racism is a terrible, disgusting thing. That label should not be irresponsibly thrown around.

Frankly, I was very surprised that Wilburt would go there.

I'm guessing/hoping that, upon reflection, he regrets that he did.

Matt,

You know how indefinite D3 recruiting can be ... you never really know until they show up for Fall classes. I hate to count any chickens before they hatch ... (Murvul is the only D3 school I'm aware of that even posts recruiting news.)

With that disclaimer issued ...

We lost 3 quality seniors. IMHO, replacing Brent Walker's rebounding and versatility will be the biggest challenge.

We have a solid core of our better players returning. The only thing (re new guys)  I've seen in print anywhere is on Miller and McCoy.
http://www.southeastbasketballacademy.com/HoopNews.htm
From what I hear, they both have the potential to be immediate contributors. BTW, I think McCoy is a wing, not a PG.

I'm also hearing rumors about several other good possibilities ... including at least four other guys who have the potential to crack our top 8. Of those four, my best guesses as to whether we'll actually be able to land them or not ... one is almost a lock, I like our chances with two more, say 80/20, and I'd say the chances of landing the fourth would be about 50/50.

We'll see...  One thing I feel fairly confident about is that we'll be deeper top to bottom next season. We should be able to get a lot more done in practice. The competition for PT should be fierce.

I'm looking forward to getting started in October. I'm hoping we are going to have something to say re Killer's prediction of a Murvul/LaGrange GSAC final.

[GSAC Killer]

The only way we could see a different GSAC final is if they let Jake and Baldwin play off one another.. A lot of isolations and definitely pick and rolls.. I would have a field day as a Coach if I had the players Piedmont has.. But hey thats just me...
   Besides the Point Guard from Anderson County and my recruit from Miami big 6'6 post player Greg Hernandez every other recruit is average or below.. Its been hard for Randy to get the players he has ben fortunate to land because of increase in school tuition and academic requirements...
    Old Lion how about this thought... No disrespect to Coach Glover at Fisk but if I had the squad Fisk had this past year PUNCH ME A TICKET IN THE FINAL FOUR!!! They were a big disappointment...........

Killer, I'm telling you ... you are going to have to find a little self confidence, if you are going to go anywhere in life!

You ought to read the Daily Dose on occasion. There's a plethora of recruiting news, much of it provided by the schools themselves.

well recruiting has gotten better for the scots over the past couple of years, these rednecks in Knoxville are actually realizing that there are other opportunities to play college bball other than the Vols and Bruce Pearl really helped recruiting by considering Randy for the job at UT

DUCKWORTH ON TUSKEGEE SHORT LIST: as the coaching wheels continue to turn, GSAC
member Huntingdon College is now getting a taste of what Maryville experienced
last month when men's basketball coach Randy Lambert was on the UT short list
for an assistant's position on Bruce Pearl's staff.

Huntingdon's head men's coach Tony Duckworth is on the short list of candidates
for the head job at Division II Tuskegee University.

``They contacted me to gauge my level of interest,'' Duckworth said. `` I've
been invited for an on-campus interview with their search committee.''

Duckworth is scheduled to meet with that committee today.

``It would be remiss of me not to talk to them and see what they have to say,''
Duckworth said in referring to the uphill challenges that division II and III
coaches face. ``It never hurts to look.''

Duckworth coached the Hawks to their first regular season win over Maryville
College this spring and his team claimed the GSAC tournament championship with
another defeat of MC. The Scots however still received a bid to the NCAA
tournament while Huntingdon did not receive one of the very few pool bids
available to the GSAC.

Duckworth also complimented his time with HC so far and the support of athletic
director Buzz Phillips since Tuskegee inquired about his interest.

Duckworth interviews with Tuskegee

By Ben Thomas
Montgomery Advertiser



Huntingdon men's basketball coach Tony Duckworth has interviewed for the same position at Tuskegee University.

Duckworth, who led the Hawks to the Great South Athletic Conference regular season and tournament titles a year ago, said he interviewed with Tuskegee's search committee Wednesday.

"I'm certainly not in any hurry to leave Huntington, but when this opportunity presented itself, I felt like I had to check it out," said Duckworth, who is 62-72 in five seasons at Huntingdon.
