I hear that "Congratulations" should be extended to Ricky Shilts who has been named as an Assistant Basketball Coach at Calvin College.

Good news for Bryan Powell, any open look across half court is fair game!

Seriously though, congratulations to Ricky, it is quite apparent his playing days are fondly remembered.

Congrats from me as well.  Ricky certainly has the genetics to be a great coach.

Very cool!  I look forward to seeing him in his new role.

What are the parameters for eligibility?  Can an individual play basketball in Div III for three years and then after a couple years off, can they come back -say- as a graduate student or to finish up their BA and play for a year? Can they attend college for more than 5 years and be eligible if they have not used their 4 Years of play?

My understanding is that you get 5 years to use up 4 years of eligibility. I don't believe you can stop the clock once it has started ticking.

That is incorrect, O Dean.

That's correct: 5 years for division I, 10 semesters for division II and III although I don't see how 10 semesters would be different than 5 years or why this distinction is made.

That's because they're not the same thing at all. D1 has an eligibility clock; D3 doesn't. A D3 student-athlete's eligibility enters a state of suspension once he or she ceases to be a full-time student, as long as he or she has eligibility remaining.

Going to school full-time or part-time also plays a role when calculating semester eligibility.  If you completely stop going to school after going full time and playing 6 semesters and then take a couple of years off, you technically will have 4 semesters to play 2.  If you quit playing after the initial 6 semesters but continue to go full time the student-athlete is burning eligible playing semesters.  At the division III level it is 10 semesters to play 8 at a full time student status.

That is correct. Props to the new guy.

As long as you didn't burn the rest of your ten full-time semesters of eligibility in the interim (or your fifteen quarters, if you attend a school that's on the quarter system), you can come back and play D3 sports at any age -- even if you played at some time in the past and then stopped. That's why 59-year-old Mike Flynt was able to come back and play football for Sul Ross State three years ago, almost four decades after he had last suited up for the Lobos.

Just got home from watching a relative of mine play AAU ball down in Ft. Wayne and I ran into a person who is connected in the league and they informed me that Coach Neil has no chance at the head job since he does not have a master's degree? Does anyone know whether he does/does not have his master's degree?  the name this source mentioned was the head coach at Buena Vista in Iowa?

Matt Neil does indeed have a Master's -- an MBA...just not a Master's in Kinesiology.

However, he is also already somewhat of an "adjunct faculty" (though not sure of the exact title) in the Kinesiology department, with teaching his weight training and conditioning course every fall for the last decade (at least?)

Yes, BVU head coach Brian Van Haaften was one of the first names mentioned in this room as a possible successor to Glenn Van Wieren after GVW announced his retirement. Thing is, however, Van Haaften's master's degree isn't in kinesiology or a related field, either; his M.A. is in educational administration, as his bio indicates.

I think its generally expected that Matt Neil, Chad Carlson, Brian Morehouse and Eric Elliot would all apply for the job among others.  Whether thats happened or not?  I certainly can't confirm it.

Sac:  How many of the individuals that you mention meet the requirement for being able to teach at Hope that are listed in the posting?  As an "outsider"  the requirement for GVW's replacement to replace him in the classroom as well as on the court speaks volumes in the selection process.  How many of the other current coaches are also profs.? 

I don't know that I would look to deep into the requirements posted for the job.  Coaches that would also teach is always preferred I'm sure.

[Gregory Sager]

I was simply correlating my response regarding Brian Van Haaften to devossed's post right before it regarding Matt Neil.

[HopeConvert]

I, for the life of me, can't see why we wouldn't take the job posting at face value. If it lists certain requirements, I assume they are there for a reason. In academic life, job postings are not made thoughtlessly or purposelessly, and the requirements contained therein are discussed in advance.

Since I don't follow MIAA tennis (but was aware of the streak), I was wondering - in recent years does anyone even give them stiff competition or is the final result a foregone conclusion before the season even starts?
