BB: SCIAC: Southern California Intercollegiate Athletic Conference

[playball]

Thanks for those links, Teddy, I'll definitely read those articles.  When you refer to G. Fox's "bad losses" in D3 competition, I'm assuming you mean dropping a game to Whittier and losing two to Whitman?

Whittier as you know has the capability to rise up and take a very good team down, and Whitman is an interesting team, as they can also look like world-beaters on any given day this season (which hasn't been the case for about 3 decades maybe?)  They have wins against Hardin Simmons, and UT-Dallas out of conference (not a great team, but...)

And thats why the games are played.  Whitman has been TERRIBLE the last few years but any one bounce either way and BOOM! You have a W for the underdog

My mistake. I was thinking they had been swept by UPS, but that was PLU. Oops! Still the Whitman and Whittier losses are a little problematic, particularly in comparing them to Linfield's resume- who has already gotten through PLU. Maybe cream of the crop wasn't the best term, but they are definitively ahead of George Fox in my book. Pretty similar to how I view CLU and PP right now. PP and Fox have had very good seasons, but CLU and Linfield have been better in all the most important ways.

Yes, I agree Teddy, Linfield and CLU are a notch above Fox/PP, but we all really want to see all four make the West Regional - NO OUTSIDE OF REGION TEAMS SHIPPED IN THIS YEAR!

Tereschuk on leave from Panthers   

http://www.d3baseball.com/notables/2013/04/tereschuk-chapman

Chapman University baseball head coach Tom Tereschuk has been placed on indefinite administrative leave since March 28 as Chapman investigates allegations regarding violations of university policy. The news was first reported April 8 in Chapman's student newspaper, The Panther.

A local TV station posted this article:  http://losangeles.cbslocal.com/2013/04/10/chapman-baseball-coach-on-leave-for-alleged-profanity/

The timing between this suspension and the recent Rutgers situation is way too coincidental for my liking.

OMG!

Have you ever been around a college program?? 

My goodness........ The coach used a "bad word" so I am going to report him 

Unbelieveable.

Goodness gracious sakes alive.

I guess the code of conduct thing could be an issue depending on exactly what we're talking about. I don't know if profanity in and of itself rises to the level of verbal abuse, though it certainly could be part of an abusive act.

But coaches should be held to the same standard of conduct that students are. There's plenty of room for "motivational tools" that stop short of abuse.

I hope for a fair investigation and that justice is done, whatever result that is. I don't think there is a shortage of good coaches that want to lead Chapman baseball.

Chapman needs to reinstate this coach he has over 500+ supporters on FB and have written, called the Adminstration supporting what a positive difference he has made on so many players lives for so many years.

There are many good coaches out there. BUT so few great coaches. Chapman coach fits the GREAT category. Many schools/players would love to have him.

Look at Augie Gurrido at Texas and formerly of Cal State Fullerton that has won numerous D1 National Championships at Fullerton and Texas. He is another GREAT coach.

I am sure they do need to re-instate him and probably will with the positive impact he has had. But they should investigate. If he signed the agreement mentioned in several articles and then violated that agreement or appears to have, then they need to investigate. This is D3, Coaches and players should be held to the same standard as the rest of the student population. They just cannot ignore it.

I hope they finish this quickly and bring him back.

I wonder how popular this Newman kid is with his former teammates?   Baseball is a colorful sport, not saying swearing should be as prevalent as it may be but good grief. 

[108 Stitches]

........There would be very few college baseball teams if swearing was not allowed. 

It was not long ago there was an article in the Orange County Register talking about how Terechuck was the best baseball coach in SoCal INCLUDING all of the successful D1 programs.....

Hopefully they get this done quickly and move on.
