MBB: Colonial States Athletic Conference

Coach C,

I really enjoyed seeing your Fine Arts pic in the paper.

Back to basketball, you must really do a lot of traveling to see all the games.  Please, tell me what the score was in the EU-Lehigh game with 14 minutes left, since you were there.

. . . we'll be waiting.

Also, I would like to know how many games of Macciocca's and/or Chadwin's you have seen to make the statement that either of them know their x's and o's.

The Macs could really beat any team in the PAC (although I see them having a lot of problems with Alvernia).  A win on the horizon for them?  They could get a few wins right away with Arcadia, Rowan, Gwynedd-Mercy, or Williamson Trade.  I saw GMC v Rowan and both look like they are going to have a rough year with the personnel that they have (don't have in GMC's case).

"d3 -

Chadwin knows his x's and o's and Macciocia seems to as well. 

Who do you see as a win on the horizon for the Macs?

Eastern-Lehigh was not competitive. 

On the Cabrini issue, the young man was wrong.  That doesn't mean his isn't smart."

[Coach C]

Glad to be able to give you some enjoyment.  Since you seem to know who I am, give me a call.  the cell is always on.

Acutully the night of Eastern-Lehigh I was 1000 miles south of there taking in a South region game, but my former roommate coaches at Lehigh and was in the house.

Since neither coach has too many games under his belt you might tell me ho many games YOU saw to say that about Chadwin.  Both guys are well-regarded by other men they have coached with.  Coach M also has my respect for how he handles his players.

Rowan is young and will likely struggle this year in the NJAC, but i think both then and GMC are better than what I have heard about Immaculata.  Sorry, I don't count wins over Williamson except on a JV schedule.  Who are the Macs transfers? 

Talk to you soon!

Coach C,

I'm trying to figure out why you are dodging my question - what was the score with 14 minutes left in the game of EU v Lehigh?  Your post brough up another one:  who is your former roommate, who you say coaches at Lehigh?  If he coaches there and said it wasn't competitive, he was obviously not at the game.  Quit slipping my questions like a bad screen.

To make a statement about Chadwin, I don't need to see him much.  I've seen him plenty when he coached for GMC, and he did a lot of the x's and o's for Coach Baron (this is not a cut on Coach Baron, who does a fine job himself).  However, I did see him against EU at Immac.

Who are the "other men" who have coached with Macciocca who regard him?  I don't question that there are "other men" who regard him, but I question your sources, since you seem to make some unfounded and unspecific statements with little backup.  I'll understand if you don't want to respond.

I will agree with you on how Coach M handles his players, so far, but the night is young.

Immaculata has their player information on their website, so I'll direct you there.

Let's wait to see how Immaculata does against the PAC and Chadwin's former employer before one of us comes out correct on this one.  However, you need to see all three teams (Rowan, Immac., and GMC) rather than trust your sources, as "they" seem to be selling you a bill of goods.

By the way, I don't need to call you on your cell.  When (IF) you come to a game of EU's this year, ask one of the players or coaches who I am and they will direct you to me.

Chad -

I am not dodging your question - it's just not very important in the scheme of things.  It was a two point game according to the play by play score.   After that every player in a uniform got in the game.  Are games where everyone plays usually competitive?

I have a lot of respect for Coach Nadelhoffer and what he has done at Eastern.  He has really done a nice job there.  I have not met you and I am not sure how you know me, but next time you see me, why don't you say hello.  There are 2-3 interesting games left on Eastern's schedule from a quasi-national perspective, so you may see me there.   

As for my travel schedule - I am on the road about 1 week a month plus some other games.  I don't see as many as i did a few years ago, but I see 2 or so a week.  Why aren't you on the staff anymore?

As for the Lehigh guy, let's not go there, but I never said he coached hoops.  And if you know my background, you should be able to figure out who Coach M and I know in common.

Enjoy!

There's a reason why games are 40 minutes long, d3isbest. Most of us left the realm of 26-minute games when we left sixth grade.

[d3isbest]

Pat,

The game was obviously longer than 26 minutes, however, it was clear that Coach C didn't go to the game.  The point is not that the game was close at the 26 minute mark, but that it was competitive for most of the game.  The fact is the game of EU v Lehigh was competitive and it didn't get away from EU until there was about 7-8 minutes left.  And the last few players on Lehigh's roster didn't get in the game until the last couple of minutes.  It's interesting that EU shot about 20% for the game on few forced shots and still hung in there until that time.

Coach C,

Please e-mail me on my address listed under my profile.  I'd like to talk to you.  If you e-mail me I will give you my cell phone number so you can call me.

[hoopzwiz]

Your all ridiculous.
Why do people take things so personaly?
Can't we all just get along and talk some hoops?
I feel like I'm reading the script from some daytime soap opera.
Here's a question for everyone:
Can anyone beat Alvernia?  By the looks of the league scores so far it doesn't seem like it. 

[Coach C]

Hoopzhiz -

Only have seen Alvernia on tape, but they sure look pretty darn stout.  Could be their league to lose.

[Jon]

Coach C,

Out of curiosity, which Vern tape did you catch? The Crusaders didn't exactly hit the ground running in the season opener vs. Penn St. Berks, but the wins since have been fairly impressive.  Even the loss, at Lafayette (speaking of competitive DI/DIII games) was a great team effort.

[Jon]

Looks like the deep freeze has hit the PAC Chat Line. 

It's Alumni Day at the Vern with a noon tip-off in the Maroon/Golf Alumni Game followed by the Alvernia/Albright game at 2:00 p.m.

Follow the game action (of the 2:00 game) on the Alvernia website.

PAC story in the Notables section.  What a terrible situation for all involved.

[Jon]

Alvernia returns to the PEC to host Arcadia on Saturday.  As always, play-by-play will be posted live on the Alvernia College website.

The Crusaders went 4-1 on the five game "road trip" including a pair of 30-point wins (over Curry and Chestnut Hill) in Radisson Invitational, hosted by the University of Scranton.  Senior forward Zach Straining became the 18th Crusader to reach 1,000 career points on a dunk in the second half of the win over Chestnut Hill.

[rollingthunda]

And I thought the MAC Commonwealth room was dead.  Congrats to Straining and his 1,000th a few weeks ago.

[Coach C]

Yeah -  This is not a strong room.  It's a shame.  Some of these teams have had some success over the years.  SOme are having some right now!
