MBB: Colonial States Athletic Conference

Cheapwiz:

I saw Cheapwiz at the Dollar store.

The program is not done only the career of the head coach in my opinion!

It was obvious he has lost the team and the kids have tuned him out! Sorta like the Flyers with coach Hitchcock.  It happens with coaches who like to scream at they're team! It has happened too many times in sports history heres a small list:

Flyers, Hitchcock, Barber, Keenan
NFL Caughlin, Reeves, Schottenheimer,Wannstadt, Rhoads, Ryan
Knight, Calipari, Macciocca


I am not saying the coach is not a knowledgeable one just he needs to go and a fresh new voice is needed at Cabrini!

Did he really lose control of the team or are there sour grapes around campus?   The students of the college have the power to make change if they stick together until they get some attention.   Protest.    Sounds like frustration is setting in there.   

Tell me.... what if the Cavs come back from the holidays and beat up on Arcadia?   will this silence some ?

Now... what if the Cavs lose to Arcadia?  I may agree the coach is a problem if they cannot beat Arcadia.     What is the Athletic Director doing about the situation?

WolfPac, please remember what the AD's office did to Dzik (withe their pres).  Do you really think they care if Macciocca is running it into the ground?  Also, the $10 and $5 tickets is just an example of another genius idea.

Alvernia vs. Albright as usual is one of the better ways that one can spend $5 on this planet right now. Game was back and forth, lots of runs by both teams. I felt like Albright should have showed that 1-3-1 a bit more in the second half, it slowed down the Crusaders a little bit. They were almost exclusively man to man in the second half. King was getting open on pick and pop stuff or dribble penetration and nailing shots. He could be a legit stud regionally by the end of the year. Their bigs did just enough on the defensive end to help pull away. Alvernia seems like they need to improve with rebounding the ball, but they will work the kinks out by the start of January.

I was pleased to see that they raised as much money for cancer as they did. I coached Derek Kehoe in HS, and everything that has been said about him is true, he was an awesome kid, and it was a tragic loss. Nazareth high school, his alma mater, is retiring his number January 5th, and all the procedes from the event go towards raising money for cancer. The 5 other Lehigh Valley Conference games that night are also donating their gate. Just a good thing to see everyone pulling together to help out with this!

Coach K, Matt King is certainly a good player.  Tough matchup.  He is cagey, quick, long arms, great, GREAT shooter.  I want to see his defense later in the season.  He moves a lot, so defenders of him are going to get tired.  I think he is going to be really, really good as a junior and senior - should be 1st all-conf as a senior.  I don't know so much about all-region, but let's wait and see.

[Coach K]

I don't want to be a facilitator of more Cabrini bashing, but they really do just continue to pile up bad loss after bad loss. By 29 to Scranton? That to me is just unbelieveable.

Chizwiz, I think I may have over stated King's ability. But yes, he is a good shooter, and a matchup problem for most of the teams in the PAC. He will receive some sort of honor at the end of the season, I think we can at least agree on that.

Class of the PAC?  Do you athletically or academically?

Alvernia the class of the PAC... so far this year athletically they have been doing well in soccer, field hockey, etc. Their basketball and baseball programs have a history of being strong. Academically they have made great strides. What would be considered the more academic of the PAC schools? Let's not consider Arcadia and Wesley since they are leaving. Marywood has a good social work program, Alvernia is solid in CJ, Business and Education, and has built a new Science wing. Cedar Crest on the girls side has a great rep after almost going the way of the dinosaur 20 years ago.

The PAC schools in general have given opportunities for education to people who otherwise might not get an opportunity. That doesn't mean that they dumb down their programs. I think I got a first class education at Alvernia, and I am sure most of us in here that are PAC school grads would say the same about their institutions[

I don't think there is much of a difference between our statements about King.  Let's just say he is good, and let him show us some great stuff.

[East Coast Eagle]

Eastern, Neumann, Gwynedd are my early favorites to win the Pac. The Pac is wide open this year with no dominant teams from the Dzik era, no Gwynedd teams with Badou as their stud, and no Alvernia teams from last year.


Chizwiz: Please remember what the AD's office did to Dzik (withe their pres). 

The AD's office did nothing to Dzik. It was ALL the president. You can not compare the AD office to the President's office. The AD office wanted to keep Dzik, the President over ruled the decision to fire him.

Cheap Wiz:

Trying to bribe a parole official with Dollar store items will not help you get parole!

The Coach at Cabrini has definitely lost the team not hard to see!

A change is needed to fix the problem!

[East Coast Eagle]

Cheap Wiz (thanks All Star Scout),

Maybe the "top 7 man rotation in the mid atlantic region" was a big exaggerated. But best in the PAC? ABSOLUTELY!!! The Pac is weak this year and that starting line-up would be the most talented by far in our league. Like I said, top in the mid atlantic was a stretch, but they would certainly be most peoples favorite to win the PAC?

Also, are you sure Coach N is a full time coach at EU? I was told he was a high school teacher at a local district?

Not sure how you can't include Alvernia in that list.  The Crusaders handled the team many coaches think will win the league, and have been the most consistent performers in non-conference games so far this season.

[Coach K]

Yes, you definitely have to toss Alvernia in with those other 3 teams. The only thing hurting the Crusaders is that they only go 7 deep, but that is a damn good 7 they throw out there.

The league is missing a marque level player of the Badou or Damon Hunter type, but it is still a good conference, and it has shown nonleague that it can hang with other schools.

I agree about King, Chizwiz; he could end up being special. I hope we are both wrong and he exceeds our expectations!

Did you forget Alvernia?  I have them as the team to beat right now.

Get out of left field.  We're all lost with that comment.

East Coast, you're in left field, too.  YES, I'm sure he is full time.  Are you sure he isn't?  If Nadelhoffer is a HS teacher, then some high school is getting screwed because he can be found in his office at all hours of the day.  Again, let's get your sources.  Better yet, think before you type things . . . maybe call the coach.

I know of two coaches in this league who disagree with you on the Cabrini top 7 best in PAC blather.  I'm sure you can guess one of them.

Where do you come up with this crap?

While the president seems to have made the decision, the AD was in on it.  Talk to Dzik or any of their coaches.  I have phone numbers if you like.  Again, you're full of it.

All Star, you being from Cabrini and all, I imagine you know a lot of parole officers.

[East Coast Eagle]

Chiz Wiz,

I feel that Cabrini lineup would be best in the PAC. I think you would be looking at 4 All League players with 2 on the first team. I would think Dailey and Reid would make first team with McMahon (5th year Senior) and Fitzgerald (Junior) making the list. Really, it doesn't matter. It is pretty stupid to debate regardless. It's only a matter on opinion.

Hey, if you say Coach N is full time then I will take your word for it. At least I am man enough to admit I was wrong.

I am NOT wrong about the Cabrini AD pushing out Dzik. I dont need any phone numbers, I can go to the Piedmont website and get John's phone number myself thank you. And you can also go to www.keepjohndzik.com and read the following quote:

"As you are aware, it was not my decision to leave the college. I was forced out by one person – Dr. Toni Iadarola. The blame lies clearly with her. Regardless of what spin you may hear from her subordinates, Toni carefully orchestrated a plan for my removal." - John Dzik

Dzik gave the AD his job. The AD had NOTHING to do with Dziks removal. It was ALL the president. But you said I should review my sources before I post..... I just did that. Yes, my source this time is John Dzik himself.
