Hate to say it... but Nichols wasn't getting in if they got to the championship game and lost as well. As Hoops Fan stated, they had to have more out of conference wins and work on their SOS - .502 isn't poor, but it is below average of at-large teams.

I think if they lose a close game to Endicott in the championship they'd be in the discussion. Don't know if they'd get one though. Being one and done killed that talk though.

They aren't even regionally ranked currently in the largest region in the country. They aren't in the Northeast's top 11. I can't imagine they would lose in the title game to an unranked team and then jump into the rankings and ahead of some other very good, criteria-based, teams. Sorry. It wasn't going to happen.

My plan is, right now, to head to Stockton for the Friday games. If anyone from EC is heading down, be sure to look me up.

Stockton has a good team, but they're not that big. They're deep with good ball handlers, but they've shown some shakiness. EC could win with an A game on a bad Stockton night for sure. I don't think it will be a blowout, but it might be pretty high scoring.

Hey, I just saw ENC has a home game against WPI right after New Year's. Good get for them.

How about Curry!?

They get rid of Coach Wynn who went to 2 NCAA Tournaments (Although admittedly had a few down years as well)

They hire a guy who went 21-70 at Wheelock...yikes. The rest of the league has to be happy with this one...

Ryan Scott (Hoops Fan) · July 01, 2015, 08:28:57 AM

I don't know the details, but perhaps Curry was looking to go full time with its coaching position and Wynn didn't want to do that?

NJBalla35 · July 01, 2015, 12:18:34 PM

No, still a part-time position at Curry. Weird, eh?

Ryan Scott (Hoops Fan) · July 02, 2015, 08:57:16 AM

The choices of CCC schools never cease to amaze me. Nothing surprises me anymore.

Was it Curry's decision or Wynn's? If it was curry that's a pretty quick hook for a part time gig.

For the replacement. You don't have many options being part time. I've said it before, I dont get the point of part time coaches. If you can't afford full time head coaches then don't have the team. Theres no way you can really expect a guy to give 100% and do his job fully if he has to have a side job to pay the bills.

"pretty quick hook for a part time gig." Huh???

Wynn was at Curry for 12 years (under .500 record). How is that possibly a "quick hook"

??

3 years ago he set program records for conference and overall wins along with having them in the NCAA tournament. And from 06-10 he had them in the Conference title game 3 out of the 4 years with a win. All this while 20 years before him curry didn't win anything. You'd think that get him more than 2 bad seasons before a pink slip.

Maybe he can hook on at WNE: http://hoopdirt.com/diii-dirt-theulen-out-at-westen-new-england/

Surprising but not shocking. It'll be interesting to see who the replacement is. If I'm WNE I'm giving Lindgren a call to see what he's up to. The talent he brought into Nichols shows what he can do, let him pursue the gig full time and hire a full staff and see what he can do.

The overall list of candidates should be interesting. Thats a place that could easily be like Endicott if they have the right man in charge.

He's on here under a different handle. If you check I wasn't a huge fan of him when he was in the league as I thought he just let Sheehan dominate and that's the reason for his success. Seeing how the guys he brought in did this year though and seeing the talent gap they had over half the league showed how good he was at recruiting.

The team they put together after Sheehan left leaves one to believe he could've gotten a lot more out of that team on the floor. Also, he left on his own because he didn't want to coach anymore. Maybe he's ready to come back, but do you want to hire that guy not knowing?
