Coach C

Well, I don't know if the inspired second half was a result of good coaching or just kids being tired of losing, but the Cvas did do some good things against Neumann.

Maccocia is very good at handing out uniforms.

The Cavs alumni behaved very well Saturday and at the bar and there is no need for taunting.

Jon, I'll give you the Wacky Wiz Vegas Line for Thursday's games, as I'm beginning to enjoy this:

Vern @ Wesley - Vern by 7
Arcadia @ Neumann - Neumann in a squeaker by 2
Miseri @ EU - EU by 8 (Malloy has a career night)
Immac @ Cabrini - (you know where this is going) Chadwin's team beats by 15
Marywood @ G-MC - G-MC by 13

By the way, Macciocca, I hear Wake Forest is looking for a waterboy and someone who can stare down the Duke staff.  Graduate Assistantships are available.  They also need a uniform manager, which is probably right up your alley.




Chiz,  kinda reminds me of the song "Can't Buy Me Love"  you gotta earn your respect by winning games and coaching the right way.

Chiz....... for the record  whoever you are.................................................. You may have the biggest set of balls!!!

Does anyone out there think the Cavs will beat IMMACULATA?   :D

Not sure about the coach bashing but I like the picks.  Its always amazed me how easy coaching looks from the stands.  I'm sure it can't be as easy when you're on the sidelines, maybe Macciocca isn't the only problem.  Who knows, I've only seen them once.

Can't figure out Wesley.  As a roster-reader it would seem they are a descent team.  Any ideas why they're struggling?
I was surprised by the Eastern win vs. GMC only because it was on the road.

Not sure if anyone would want to trade places with Macciocca.  Through circumstances, he has the toughest shoes of all to fill.

The one thing he better do is to start recruiting if he wants to find skilled players to make his job easier.  Talented kids translates to wins then frustration dillutes itself.  If he can grab a couple of wins down the stretch he would probably earn himself the job for next year.   

If he goes winless in the PAC then the obvious will take place. The Cavs have to start playing better defense or develop a better system to overcome their lack of talent on the court at any one given time.  Seems like Reid, Clifton and Bruce M. are their strength but if the others catch on and pound the ball inside good things may start happening for them.

It is hard to teach skill though......  Why do you thing Alvernia is alway there? Depth, skill, talent.

Start recruiting.

Jon

Terrence Shawell put on another show matching a school-record with 38 points in Alvernia's 79-69 win at Wesley on Thursday.

Eastern and Neumann both posted 60 points in victories and GMC nearly doubled up Marywood.  Any word from the Dixon Center tonight?

WolfPAC

no word from the Cavs as of yet....


The Crusaders are looking like they are hitting stride ! ! !

Vern wins by 10
Neumann doesn't really win in a squeaker, with 11 points in the lead
G-MC wins by, ahem, almost 50 (was this a JV game?)
EU wins by 17
And the big news of the night - Cabrini wins over Immaculata!  Attentiona all Cabrini students, staff, and alumni:  10% off all men's suits and separates at Nordstrom's tomorrow!

A couple remarks about some interesting comments by recent posters:

Hoopzwiz - I, too, was surprised with EU's win at G-MC.  A pleasant surprise at that.  G-MC is tough to win at if the team lets the crowd get into their head.  If you haven't seen it, many of the out-of-season athletes sit just above the visiting team's bench and literally hover over them during the whole game, getting especially raucous during time outs.  It's actually a fun atmosphere and I've seen Coach N get into some hilarious give and take between the G-MC fans.  A coach with a hot temper, though, would have some major problems there during a tough game.

Wolf - this is my guess, but I think it's going to take more than 4 or 5 wins for Macciocca to salvage his job.  However, as we all know, the admin. at Cabrini has done more surprising things than keep a coach with a horrible record on staff.  I will definitely be surprised if he stays after February (assuming he wins less than 6-7 more games), but I won't be THAT surprised.

Jon,

Any interest on your part in making a gentleman's bet on the game coming up in two nights?  I'm predicting an EU win by 6.  BTW, I can hear you laughing on the other end, but I'm serious.

And Jon, please tell your scorekeeper no more funny stunts with the fouls.

Chiz you are something else.... my wardrobe is just fine right now though.

Hope the Cavs don't get a big head over their first PAC win.


WolfPAC

Whats wrong with EU stealing one from the Vern?

Jon, seriously,  do you think EU has a chance with the your boy lighting up the board at this time of the year?

Wouldn't it be great though if EU shocked them???


Jon

chiz,

I chuckled at the first post...the belly laughing didn't start until you mentioned the scorekeeper.  

Sorry I can't indulge in the gentelmen's wager...I'm contractually obligated to refrain.  I'm hoping the presence of former players in the building for the alumni game that follows will inspire the boys on Saturday.  Maybe we'll invest in a Wolverine cutout for the front row to inspire Shawell who is averaging 34.5 against the Wes.

It's funny, the other day I found myself sticking up for the Griffins in a discussion with other Mid-Atlantic schools, but now to see a Cabrini backer supporting Eastern...never thought I would see the day.
