I know Gaine is a solid fundamental player and all, but they had to be scraping the bottom of the barrel to load two rosters with guys who aren't better than him.

Wow, so I wonder if his coaches are wondering why he didn't step his game up for them during the year.


I'm just messing with Gaine.  He really did power that team down the stretch.  They'll really need to step to replace his leadership for next year.

So my "I'm just kidding" statement wasn't good enough for you?

Bryan Gaine is a fine basketball player; I just never in a million years would have guessed that he'd even be invited to that game, let alone be the MVP.  He was nondescript and without gaudy numbers on a squad that relied on team ball.  I was just surprised.  I've got nothing against him.

He's not even my least favorite player on his team.

Gordon has their schedule up.  I wonder how they are doing the official scheduling now that they are going away from the division format.  GC seems to have lucked out.  They play everybody once and then fill out a 15 game CCC schedule with rematches against traditional rivals Endicott and ENC.

Will these extra two games rotate?  Here is where the schedule now becomes a much bigger deal.  Who gets the good teams at home, who gets extra games against weaker squads?  Maybe this no division thing will work out just fine.

As I said early in a post there are not going to be divisions in the CCC, so each team plays all other teams once for a 13 game schedule.  As for Gordon's extra games with EC and ENC those are extra games that are going to be considered non-conference games.

Ryan Scott (Hoops Fan)


They're listed as conference games on GC's website right now.  Who's going to email the AD and ask?  I'll do it.

OK, those first two GC rivalry games are not in conference.  I did get another tidbit of information as well.  Regis' men's games are not in conference either.  Apparently they declared their intention to field a men's basketball team after the schedule had been set for the conference.  So there will only be twelve conference games this year.


Plus, I guess I'm out of the loop, but apparently there will be a new, full-time commissioner starting in June.  This is a first for the CCC and a big step.

The CCC had to add a full time comish because the NAC and the GNAC already had one.  I didnt look good that those two leagues had one and not the CCC.

The CCC was behind the 8 ball on that one. 

Also the new league is hiring a full time comish as well.

Do I perceive that the CCC is emulating the NESCAC to improve their chances at a Pool C bid?   :o

The off-season intrigue builds!

I'm not sure why they ditched the conference scheme, maybe one of those secretive emails I get from time to time will explain it.  The women already played the last few years with a 6-7 split between divisions.  Do we know if they are sticking with it now that they're up to 14 teams?


I did get more info on the new commish.  He's got a great resume and tons of experience.  He'll need a crash course of d3 athletics and New England in particular, but I'm sure he'll do a great job.

I'm not sure if he's found this site just yet, but today (I believe) is officially the first day for the new Commonwealth Coast Conference Commissioner.  I'd just like to welcome Gregg Kaye and say we're excited about what a full-time commissioner can do for the conference.
