susiddad: Just calling it like I see it. Believe me, I wish a million times over it wasn't so. All of us that have followed Royal basketball have witnessed a steady decline in support & interest by the students themselves that mirrors the current direction of the stock market. It was not very long ago that opposing teams dreaded coming to play in the Long Center because of the crowds & the atmosphere that made regular season games seem like playoffs.
  Certainly Coach Danzig can not be expected to be in charge of marketing as well coaching but, clearly there is a disconnect somewhere that has interest in mens basketball at an all time low. This apathy can not be directly related to winning & losing because the Royals continue, at least to this point, to win more than they drop...in the regular season anyway.
  Will interest in Royal basketball return? Well, just like the market itself I certainly hope it starts heading back in the right direction & sooner rather than later. However, it's pretty clear there is much work to be done & many issues to be addressed. And maybe, just maybe...winning a big game or two on the national scene just might spark some carryover interest to the following year.
  By the way, F&M is in "the tourney"...I think you meant to say "not". Also, I think you also meant to imply (Scranton's) time "winning" the Landmark is "up" rather than "their time in the might landmark is up". Hang in there, take 2 advil, get a little sleep & all will be well.
 
 


Nature of the beast. Internet, Video Games, TV, kids have more to entertain them....can you tell me what school at the D3 level has been packing in the fans?


I heard Danzig is going to start a reality show to find replacements for Hawk, Biagoli, Londo, and Fuller.

Banzhaf was first-team all-region; Patch was second-team.

*ducks to avoid the I-told-you-sos from Matt*  :)

I figured that would come up -- I suspect people need to remember that one is a guard and the other is a forward, so they were not voted on in comparison to each other. Banzhaf simply rated higher among forwards than Patch did among guards. It would be tough to beat Johnson and Braswell in this region, to be sure.

Patch is a guard?

That's how he was nominated. Does he play the 3, perhaps?

Yeah - I was going to ask why he was nominated as a guard. He could play the 3... but he was really a 4.

Patch is not a guard.  Someone screwed up there.  Not a big deal.

Personally, I would have placed JB as first team all region over Patch because he is a better player, but not player of the year in conference.  He'll get that next year.

I wonder if in the all region voting each coach on your staff gets a vote, hence JB getting from the bench at CUA. (jk calm down people)

It's SIDs -- SIDs nominate and SIDs vote.

Well, it took me half the year, but I finally got that.

Patch is certainly not a guard.  Odd.

Maybe Spencer x 2 will be in the post next year, Majors will move to the 2 guard & Cosgrove will move to the point since it appears our SID's love those 6'7" guards.
  Regardless, congrats to both players...well deserved.

LOL... I managed to resist!

This is questionable at best...not that Patch and Ashworth don't deserve recognition but no Banzhaf makes no sense unless susidad is making the list/team.

TheGrove

NABC = National Association of Basketball Coaches. Not saying that makes it right (or that I even agree with it), just sayin'.

for all the joking about Banzhaf, I was surprised he wasn't on the list.

Pat, any wisdom to add? I'm guessing you're familiar with NABC and how their voting works?

Pat Coleman

All I really know is that coaches have to nominate players and every coach gets a ballot. It doesn't appear there are any position guidelines for voters to follow or anything like that.
