MBB: Great South Athletic Conference

[Spencer Beaty]

MC's schedule is the most brutal thing I have ever seen.

[Spencer Beaty]

My take on MC's scrimmage with Tusculum.  Tusculum runs a very different system than any basketball team I have seen MC play.  They picked off the ball almost constantly trying to get 10 open for a 3.  He killed us...we never hedged a screen or doubled 10 off of a screen.  When 10 is on the court that is who was going to take a shot more than likely.  They never dumped it off the screen to their posts or anything inside.  We were a little rusty on offense.  I was pleased with the hustle for sure.  It is hard to give a POG for that game, but Jared hustled on defense extremely well and looked like he has been working on his shot.

Spence,

Who won the scrimmage?

[Spencer Beaty]

well there were 3 seperate halves.  Tusculum watched the only two i watched, but the second one was close.

Piedmont has a pretty tough schedule as well. They open up with Mercer which will be a very good contest. I hope this team does well. They have some size and from what I hear they are extremely coachable.

Alumni game is Nov 15th at 3pm. in Demorest.

Old Lion,

You should come catch a high school game. We (Webb) are going to have a good team this year. We play Baylor in Chattanooga which is most likely the closest to you. Come up and watch. You would like the way the head coach does things. In Wesley Parkers words "He is tight."

KC22,

Good to hear from you.  I don't know if I'll make it to Chattanooga or not.   But maybe I'll see you at the Alumni game.  I have a feeling that may be a function of what time kickoff is in the Ga/Auburn game.

That's good to hear ... I'm glad to see that you haven't succumbed to the nefarious influences of Messrs. Walker and Kemmerer.

KC22,
Do you plan to continue the well rehearsed Webb tradition of loosing to Catholic (not just referring to basketball)?

[Spencer Beaty]

That is for sure...

[KnoxCounty22]

Scotswin,

Im an assistant basketball coach at Webb. Im just focused on the boys basketball team. We split with Catholic last year. Both games this year should be fun to watch.

[scotswin]

I know from reading your previous posts that you are coaching at Webb.  I used to be a head coach at Catholic (not basketball), so I saw an opportunity for a little good natured ribbing.  Webb would be a nice place to start a coaching career, so good luck.

[KnoxCounty22]

I really like Webb. I couldn't have asked for a better place to start out coaching. Ive learned a great deal under Coach Kosmalski.

I am pretty sure this is a College basketball site not coacht.  as a veteran poster I know I have had my fair share of off topic posts so I am just warning you all.  Negative Karma will be bestowed upon you unless you talk more GSAC bball than anything else.

OK Spence, here is a gsac topic for you ... how about Jeremy Pittman apparently back for his 2nd Sr season at Huntingdon?

Not good news for the rest of the gsac ... the guy is a beast ... I'd have to say he is the gsac's top returning player.

[KnoxCounty22]

Ive played against Jeremy Pittman several times in summer leagues. He is from my hometown (Valdosta, Ga.) Although I never played against him in the GSAC (My senior year was 2006-2007), he is a very athletic player and a great defender. Extremely strong and tough. He is very good at getting to the basket.

However I would say his attitude is extremely poor when things aren't going his way. Im sure he makes things interesting for his coach.

I remember during the summer of 2005 we played ball against each other in Valdosta. He was enrolled at Enterprise Jr. College in Alabama. He told me "Man Im going D1, Im not playing at a D3 school." My how times have changed.
