For those of you who don't know, the ASC awards have been announced

No major suprises to me!  It was nice to see some LETU players earn recognition for their play this year.  I would've liked to have seen Jesse Hayes make the freshman team, but his time will come.

One thing I was somewhat shocked was that Guyden didn't win POY on the West side.  Was this expected?  I know Pickelman is the real deal, but Guyden led his team to an unbelieveable season.   Just curious......

Also, D3 Hoops is doing a Pick 'Em if you didn't see that on the front page.  Looks like it will be a lot of fun - http://www.d3hoops.com/pickem/

Great Idea Pat Coleman!

By no means am I writing this to belittle the efforts of Ken DeWeese.  UMHB had a great year in the west as co-champions.  But...

A little background:  Since the inception of the ASC not ONCE has Coach Ron Holmes won the Coach of the year award for the conference OR for the west.  That includes two conference championships, and who knows how man west division championships.

They ARE the winningest team in the west over that period of time, but for some reason Coach Holmes has never gotten coach of the year.  And THIS was another year that he earned it.

Think about it:  None of you knew what to expect this year from McMurry.  A new assistant coach...Very few returners.  (Only 3...And only two of those were consistent starters)  And out of that...a new team, and a new offensive system, he STILL managed to win the west division.

I don't get it.  (It's starting to feel like I write this post, same time, every year!)  Give this guy coach of the year SOMEDAY guys!

I do agree with you.  However one correction, Coach Holmes was named Coach of the Year in the West in 98-99.  The year McM went to the Elite Eight he was not named Coach of the Year for the Conference but was named Coach of the Year for the South Region.  Figure that one out!!!!

I scratch my head as well, and I find it hard to beleive that for the success he has had that he is not a multiple winner of this award.  He has one 2 ASC titles, shared one ASC title (prior to the expansion) and has won outright or a share of 6 division titles. He definately deserved it this year.

Thanks for the correction Blue Devil.  I had forgotten about that.  (Of course it's been 8 or 9 years.)

I guess what really got me was that stretch of time in the early 00's when they won every game in the west for the stretch of a few SEASONS and he didn't get coach of the year any of those years.

To everyone:  Thanks for letting me vent...I feel better already!

Chris, will you be able to work out the licensing details to videostream the tourney?

I know that the NCAA is the sponsor, but that video was great!

I wish that all ASC schools would sign on as conference, charge us a nominal access fee for all games thru the conference and let us subscribe for the year.

I would much rather watch Miss Coll than Duke.

I just prefer D3!

I'm working on it but not sure yet.

Chris, if you can make this happen, you will totally be the coolest person alive. Gooo Chris!

Chris,

Pull this off so we  SCIAC fans will stop whining. 

I'm planning on being there in person, but the videocast you had over the weekend was awesome.

[realist]

As a Calvin fan I agree the Sunday broadcast was great  For years we have
looked for a way to be able to compare one team, and one reagion or section of the country with another.  I really believe that internet video will do much for D3.  Calvin and Hope games have been on local TV since the 60's, and satellite since 98,  but how many D3 games get that coverage?  As I have said a number of times in this room the Mc Murry 00 game at Calvin is one of my favorite all time D3 games.  While it might not have ended well from an ASC perspective it showcased the best of several programs. conferences, and regions.  Calvin is building a new arena next year, and one of the things planned for it is state of the art video and web capabilities.  D3 bball has a great product we just need to get the word out.

The feature about Coast Guard mentions Ryan Burgess from Haskell.

How did he get away?   Other than a great chance to attend a service academy!

How about that front page coverage of the ASC!!!

Good picture of Coach Jones and Ryan Hudson at Kimbrell Arena last November! 

ASC Proud!

Y'all need to thank Ralph Turner every time one of my photos of MC or any other ASC school runs on the site.

So, uh, not that you have anything better to do right now... like organizing a lot of logistics for a regional or anything... but I have to ask... 

Chris, what's the current scoop on the Video stream?
