MBB: Great South Athletic Conference

Highlander · February 25, 2007, 09:26:23 AM

Congrats to the Scots for winning yet another Conference title, and to Coach Lambert for winning his 500th game. He has been able to build one of the finest programs in the nation, that not only wins games, but also teaches young men to be leaders in their communities.

i hope we get the odac champ in maryville, but going down and beat the chocs in clinton would be phenomenal

Spencer Beaty · February 25, 2007, 12:24:22 PM

Yeah the Chocs or VA Wesleyan are the two dogs I hope we can take down. When do they select the field?

Agreed. It's kind of a busy couple of days so I hope you'll understand that it's not more important than, say, covering the NCAA Tournament.

Congrats to Randy Lambert for 500 wins. When they asked me at the tournament if I would object to a presentation after the finals if Maryville won. I only objected that I wouldn't be recognized because he would be a whole season away if he hadn't been beating us like a drum for the last 6 years. The man has really good players but the man knows how to coach too. That is a good combination. I also thought it was customary to donate $500 to the team that you beat for your 500 win. I don't know the exact rule but that is what Bobby, Pat and Dean told me. Speaking of rules. I am instituting a new rule. The first person that seems worried or pronounces any doubt about the Maryville Scots is banned from posting for 6 months. Don't worry 5 years from now we will be talking about number 600 for Lambert.

No problem my friend... I understand its a busy time of the year I just think he deserves some pub just like the previous coaches have...

UMHB watch out now,
I can't wait another year at the golden dome and the scots are ready with their inside attack.

Coach Haynes,
does this mean i can't get on your bandwagon again next year?

I second that ... he wins with class ... his teams play the game the "right way" ... good fundamentals, team work and no B/S. Also, congrats on another tourney bid. Good luck!

Let's not forget that Ole Randy got another 20 win season, which we all know is very impressive at the D3 level when you only get 27 games a year including your conference tourney

batteredbard · February 26, 2007, 04:04:31 PM

Couple notes for those who didn't see it live.

Randy did his postgame radio interview soaked. Bobby hid in the showers after the game and when coach came in to give his postgame talk Bobby came out and turned the whole water cooler on Randy from behind. (Reference notables on D3 home page)

Even with the flu Quinn Bradley was a defensive clinic. I only saw one play in two games where he made the wrong adjustment, he frustrated Hairston by going in and out to match Cole's minutes and really denied him the ball. Only excpetion to that was Hiuntingdon starting 5 played last minute or so against the MC freshman 5 when Cole got four of his points. Q was equally good in the championship as Scots only let one of the three LaGrange scorers loose.

Mr Intangibles was the reserection of Jeremy Holliday. J really played good defense and made some plays on coming up with loose balls and tipped rebounds.

And LaGrange did a great job hosting. The food in the hospitality room was better than what we get at UT games but not quite to Christopher newport football standards as far as good eating goes for the press. But the staff at LC did a great job with the whole tourney. I really liked the projectors in the rafters that roated a powerpoint presentation of all gsac team with photos and switched over to matchup team logos with starting fives. All in all very class act.
