MBB: Landmark Conference

[Ryan Scott (Hoops Fan)]

The cap in the NCAA Tournament is 15.

It's 15 who can play, but they do allow non-rostered players to sit on the bench, so long as there's enough chairs for them.

In other news.I see the sale of Clark Summit University (Formerly Baptist Bible ) is pending 17.5 million for 109 acres. So my guess is Denaples,Basalyga.

 It was Venard Seminary when I played on their grounds as a youngster.

Dave has had some significant water damage at home, including to the area where his studio is situated. He's pretty frustrated by it but still working through it and I hope he'll be on in February.

So twenty games into the season and this guy still has no set rotation.He is plugging holes.Not sure what will happen but seriously things need to change immediately. Im not sure even if they get into the playoffs.Remaining games @Catholic,Moravian,Susquehanna,@Lycoming and @Etown the team we are fighting for 6TH SPOT 6TH NOT 1ST OR 2ND,3RD OR 4TH BUT 6TH.Come on seriously.PATHETIC.I  can't see them winning one.Please I hope I'm wrong but he just barely came out of Juniata by the skin of his teeth.Lycoming will not be easy ,Catholic forget about that,Maybe at home against Moravian just not sure.But oh well.

They were mounting a comeback last night, but this system does not lend itself to offensive or defensive rebounds. Not sure what the difference was in the 2nd half but if they played that way the whole game they come away with the win.

  Spotting the opposition an 18-0 run means you didn't have the mindset to prevent that from happening, individually and teamwise. Looking for improvement in that regard @ Catholic.

The more I watch the Royals the more I see the potential they have.
The problem isn't with the talent of the kids on the floor.
The issue is if several other coaches just in the Landmark alone had this team, they'd already be a lock for one of the top seeds.

Why?
How?

[ronk]

 I'd want to correct my individual and teamwise embarrassment. There's no problem in losing if the opposition is better than you, only if you don't make them earn that decision. It's the difference between competing and playing.

[saratoga]

That definition is not what I'm asking.
With regard to WHY...when have you ever seen this coach make the adjustments needed to pull his team over the top?
So my question remains...in the totality of Danzig's tenure, why do you think he'll correct the problems that have followed him year after year?

Regarding the HOW...what do expect him to do?
With so many games that the Royals have played where they either lose the lead they carried all game or play uninspired ball that leads to massive scoring droughts where they fall behind by obscene amounts...how do you retrain his coaching mentality over the course of 2 days?

What is the constant that prevents you from beating a very milquetoast Wilkes team but somehow has you capable of defeating a far better team in CUA?

As a coach I know once said, "Danzig will beat the teams he should most of the time & lose to the teams he should all of the time.
His biggest problem is on the 50/50's...he loses 75% of those".

Regarding your statement that, "It's the difference between competing & playing'...well, unfortunately that sentiment puts all the onus on the kids.
Where is Danzig's culpability in having them prepared prior to tipoff?
Taking timeouts before things go sideways?
Having a game plan that actually looks like its been thought out.
Making meaningful in-game adjustments to counter & exploit the opposition.

Hope springs eternal but...coaching matters.
He has a 24 year record of complete & utter averageness.
I pray he has an epiphany but history tells me I should expect another bruising.

[NEPAFAN]

also ...rebounding.

 They're unlikely to defeat Catholic @ Catholic; I'm just hoping for significant improvement in the effort department to carry through the remainder of the season(and playoff).
  Not expecting a similar improvement in the coaching, hence the onus is on the players. Utilizing the zone defense this season is probably as much a positive as likely to happen wrt to coaching. Especially disappointed in the closing 9 seconds of the Juniata game with a 1-point lead and 4 fouls to give, they let Juniata move the ball the length of the court without fouling/resetting and getting off a game-winning layup attempt.

The lack of planning as you just described (especially in crunch time) is exactly why this program will never Rock & Roll under current stewardship.
