MBB: City University of New York Athletic Conference

[Coach AG]

If you really look at the talent level and depth at CSI this year you could possibly say Petosa did one of his best jobs ever.  Your right he should retire from CSI, a person that works as hard as him for a part time coach should be at the D1 level.

I said all year John Jay was a threat the thing that impressed me the most about them Saturday was their man to man half court defense, absolutely tenacious.  They also control tempo very well and the combo of Kased and Jaegar might be the toughest frontcourt in the league.

Hopefully CSI can squeck out an ECAC bid I doubt it though,  I just feel sorry for Mesjasz the way he went out last year with the devastating loss at the buzzer and how yesterday just was'nt his day.  Yesterday should not be any reflection on how he played all year.

Why do you hide behind your screen name Bubba Chuck

Hunter is golden right now.  They beat York by 11 earlier this year and i gurantee you they are going to be pumped.

BTW...after watching NYU beat U of Rochester i can honestly say that i think Hunter could take either one of these teams and the fact that Rochester is ranked so highly is a joke.  They have two VERY talented big guys but let me just say this : their guards are just like any others in D3 and as a guy who played against Rob Dominiak in HS, one shooter complimented with several other guys who play exactly like you isn't going to win your team a championship.

Are you talking about the Hunter team of 1998 or this year's team? Hunter lost to NYU by nine points at Hunter earlier this year. Hunter played great on Saturday against Baruch, but they're not close to being one of the top teams in the country. There's no way they'd be able to compete day in and day out in any of the power conferences. Just take a look at their out-of-conference record.

[NYBB]

that was earlier, not now.  I gurantee they have a new fire and if they beat York, they're going to win their first round game in the NCAA tourni.  You heard it here first, folks. 

As for the 1998 Hunter squad, they were coached by legend Mike Brown and that team will never be duplicated.  Mike and i were good friends once, when i was at Fordham Prep and he was the Asst. at Fordham.  Does anyone know where Brown is coaching now?

[Rhodes Scholar]

Hunter better take it one game at a time. And I'm sure that's what the coaching staff is doing right now.

I haven't heard anything about Mike Brown since he left John Jay about four years ago.

[NYBB]

i haven't heard anything from him either.  if anyone knows anything, i'd appreciate it.

Coach AG-

Because I choose to remain anonymous. My unknown identity has nothing to do with the indecency of Tony Petosa.

[Pat Coleman]

parody is not the word.

The word is actually parity.

I hear ya Aaron.. Mesjasz plays old school ball.Tough to go out like that.....He gives hard fouls, has a tough attitude.. I like that kind of toughness as I feel the CUNY game lacks that... CSI played well down the stretch... As far as Petosa's quotes... I dont think he meant what the paper said... how can you quote speculation? doesn't make sense....

I doubt CSI gets an ECAC bid (They screwed my 1999-2000 Brooklyn college team as we beat like 6 skyline teams)....... maybe BC gets a bid this year???

As far as the finals go...I want whatever CUNY team can represent in the National Tourney to win the CUNYAC... It's about time a CUNY team takes down some of the reginaol opponents....

[NYBB]

and i think Hunter has the team to do it.  They're coming into their own right now and with that overall performance destroying Baruch, they should be able to !

[Coach AG]

What is the story with Deluca? Is he done and if so why?

[NYBB]

either injury or grades...according to Hunter's website,, "we've had a lot of roster changes and injuries" - that's not the exact quote but it says that to the point

[CityD3]

for only entertainment purposes,  Unofficial lines for the CUNY semifinals made by........me:

#1 York (-1.5) vs. #5 Hunter

#7 city tech Vs. #6 john jay (-5)


what you guys think?

[Danny Weismuller]

Just my opinion, I believe Petosa should have won the Coach Of The Year. He lost the Preseason Player Of The Year in the middle of the season and CSI won 8 straight games.

Xalva... What do you think about the comments about my bro in the paper? Unprofessional or justified?

I'm sure Petosa did a good job but it's not like he turned water into wine. Let me also remind the CSI supporters that they had 2 all-conference players on their team and a great midseason transfer in Amenerios.

For the record... not once has my brother bad mouthed CSI's program, players or coaches in any of the interviews or articles since he transferred.
Even after getting indirectly ripped in every article since he left. 
Funny that some of CSI's players were telling my brother they were embarrassed by this whole thing and their coaches comments.

It's fine for us message board posters to comment on this stuff but I think they (CSI) need just leave it alone already before their obsession becomes a detriment to their own team and remaining players.
