Hunter Coach John Alesi resigns and takes Baruch Assistant AD job.  Hunter is looking for a new coach for the second year in a row.

What are the rumblings in CUNY? Who is looking good? Who added whom? Not many teams have their rosters up yet? Tough to tell. Rumor has if CSI added some pieces. York has some out of towners which is unusual.
Does anyone have any insight??

Any rumblings about coaching changes??

Tom Green (ex D-1 coach @ FDU) takes over CCNY.

[CityD3]

Decent opening day for CUNY, with lehman, bk, hunter, john jay tallying some nice out of conference wins. Rest all lost some close decisions to good schools. Bk most impressive after losing cudjoe and hemingway and still taking out fdu florham. Great debut for coach berry and hunter. Lehman beat out a very talented berkeley squad. John jay had to travel and beat a better Bard. Tough loss for ccny losing to mitchell by one.

Medgar Evers beating Rutgers Newark gets no mention.  Wheres the respect for the defending champs?

[CityD3]

York still winless after a ridiculous out of conference start to the schedule. anyone know what happened with Holley?

[CityD3]

An inconsistent Medgar Evers gets a great W against ramapo on friday night without one of the deare boys, after getting hurt early. CUNY continues to do well out of conference. Bk CSI, john jay also representing the conference well. Amazing how things have turned with Baruch and York struggling.

[BubbaChuck3]

How about Medgar Evars losing about half of their team following the ineligible player deadline?!?!?
Going into a CONFERENCE game with only 6 players on their roster? That is pretty serious stuff.

Are any schools going to add any bodies for the stretch conference run?

When is the deadline to add players?

[CityD3]

Which 6 players are left? If it's the two deares and douglas they ll be fine

[BubbaChuck3]

I have a question for you. Why was Jose Arroyo not honored on Senior Day at York?

From my calculations
He used his freshman and sophomore years at Kingsborough CC. (Killed my team when he was at Kingsborough too).
Used his Junior Year playing at Brooklyn College. (Played more than 20% of the team's games).
Senior year now playing at York.

How would he possibly be listed as a junior on their roster?

Sincerely,

A Concerned CUNY Fan.

Weird isn't it?  Another school had a player listed as a senior for the 3rd yr in a row and played 2nd semester.

[Knightstalker]

Bubba, did he play every semester at the other schools?  If he missed one semester due to academic or injury reasons he may have one semester of eligibility left and they can list his as a jr.  Keep your eyes open he might just show up again next year in the spring semester.

I've watched a lot of basketball & these refs leave a lot to be desired. There are 2 major issues with these refs-

1) They are wildly inconsistent with their calls (seems to be 2 different games going on on each end of the court).

2) They don't seem to know the rules (and even worse, when there is any doubt, they won't confir with each other to get the call right).

Q. If a player is fouled and has free throws because the other team has 10 team fouls but fouls out committing a flagrant 1 on the same play, who shoots the free throws for him?

[hoopheaven]

Yesterday, at Brooklyn College, was one of the most exciting games of the year. Brooklyn College defeated Medgar Evers College, 79-76, in triple OT in the 1st round of the CUNY tournament. It had all the elements of a barn burner, missed opportunities, game tying shots, game winning misses and clutch free throws. Sad that a team had to lose. This is what college basketball is all about.

Listened to the last few minutes of it online. Evenly matched win-or-go-home games are one of the best things about this week in college basketball!
