WBB: Southern Collegiate Athletic Conference

[BlueZoneBruin]

BlueZoneBruin, appreciate your putting the facts of the OU-George Fox out there for everyone. The officials cannot be held accountable for the outcome of this game. Many times in basketball superior defense will win out over superior offense.

Thanks for your support of my earlier post. I am just as guilty about blaming fans, but sometimes it just doesn't go the way we want it to, and the refs aren't the reason.  It was fun to be exposed to the Petrels.  Hopefully we will get more opportunities in the future.

Got my tickets to Holland...

Hey does anyone know why Chris Hitchcock left Hendrix? did he resign or was he fired? Just curious...

[pbrooks3]

HendrixFan needs to chime in on your question about Hitchcock. My speculation is it was something of a mutual agreement for him to move on. Again, I am not in the "know" here. Just recognize from prior posts that he was not the most popular coach on the staff among the Warrior partisans this season.

[dropkick11]

Well I am not in the know either on this but I do have some info. I know he was asked to leave at his prior coahing gig to Hendrix. So you can speculate on the reason's at both schools..

[Warrier]

Hitchcock was asked to leave and from what I hear he will have a hard time getting a job at another college. He did not have a clue as a coach but was a great recruiter. Should see considerable improvement with Coach Mccracken.

[dropkick11]

Just a little added info on the Hitchcock resignation. It sounds like he may have had the same problem he had at Benedictine(this is just speculation). My sources say that if Hendrix did it's due dilignece he never would have been hired there. They need to do a better job on the background check..

Good to see you posting Larry!  How is coaching and teaching at CC in Chicago?

Hope has published their schedule which includes a late December trip to the Oglethorpe tournament.

Not knowing who else is in that tournament, it's still great to see Hope taking a trip, picking up a strong regional opponent if they play the host, and taking some steps to shore up the OWP.

Thanks for heading me in the right direction Pat.  Colorado College is listed in the west region so I went there looking for a thread.
It makes sense, since most of the conference is in the South region.

Quiet summer on this site - anyone excited about the coming season for their respective team?  I, for one, like what I see at Centre. More to come later.

I saw quite a few of the women's teams play last year, several multiple times, but not all of them (didn't see Austin College, didn't see BSC, didn't see Sewanee, barely saw Millsaps).  And I have no idea what new kids anybody has coming in except for the program my daughter is joining.

With those caveats, I think the East will come down to either Depauw or Centre, with perhaps a slight edge to Depauw (although Centre should be excellent) , and the favorites in the West should be Trinity and Hendrix.

No slight intended to Oglethorpe who was excellent for the past several years, but they lost an awful lot.......

Is it true that the SCAC basketball tournament will be held at Milsaps the next two years

Yep.  You can read about it on the Millsaps athletic website.

Thanks, by the way how did Millsaps do recruiting this year looks like they lost a lot of seniors last year
