MBB: College Conference of Illinois and Wisconsin

[WUPHF]

From that screenshot, I did not take that 6.8% to be basketball-specific.

Thanks Pat! 6.8% still seems high, and must consist almost entirely of assistant coaches, right?

[Pat Coleman]

I would assume that's what it's measuring but agree that it seems high, even when I factor in what I suspect are sports where women coach men more often, such as cross country/track, swimming and perhaps tennis.

[WUPHF]

Thanks Pat!  I apologize, I do not want my fact-checking to distract from the conversation.

Millikin 20-21 schedule has been posted.

https://athletics.millikin.edu/sports/mens-basketball/schedule

[GU1999]

Millikin's schedule is heavy v. the SLIAC with these match-ups making up 44% of MU's non-con games. 
Over last four years Millikin at 4 and 4 against the SLIAC.  But this is only because of a disastrous four loss 2016/7 season v. the SLIAC.  No Greenville or Westminster, but MU did schedule Webster. GU, WU and WC look to be the top of the league for 20/21.

IWU's 2020-21 MBB schedule - https://www.iwuhoops.com/IWU%20MBB%2020-21%20Schedule.pdf

The other schools in the Jack Sikma HOF Tournament are: Hope, Ripon, UW-Oshkosh.

[iwu70]

Thanks, Q.  Looks like one of the strongest schedules in a long long time.  I'm hoping to get out West for those games in the Portland area.

I hope all the CCIW friends and chatsters are safe and well.

IWU'70

[WUPHF]

Looks like one of the strongest schedules in a long long time. 

The 2019-2020 regular season does feel like it ended a long, long time ago.

[Titan Q]

The Titans have a new MBB grad assistant - Justin Busch.  Justin played at Loras and has been on the coaching staff for the Duhawks the last 2 seasons, while teaching HS English.

Welcome, Justin!

(Justin replaces outgoing grad assistant Chris Davis, who did a great job. https://www.iwusports.com/sports/mens-basketball/roster/coaches/chris-davis/1092.)

[Titan Q]

I can't confirm any of this, but hearing these names in the mix for the Augie job:

* Duffy Conroy, D1 La. Tech (asst)
* Kent Dernbach, UW-La Crosse
* Steve Schafer, Ben U Mesa
* Jim Thomas, Downers Grove North HS

There is a 5th name my source was not sure about.

Dernbach would be a phenomenal hire by Augustana.  He gets the job done on the recruiting trail to say the least.
