MBB: Landmark Conference

[TheGrove]

I'm going to pre-empt susiddad:

So maybe the fifth assistant at Catholic forgot to nominate Banzhaf.

</sarcasm> 

[susiddad]

  you beat me too it.  I think its possible that because he is going to Delaware next year that they didnt want to reward him.

[susiddad]

also worth noting my karma went up from -31 to -30!!!! Watch out people things are going with the me from now on.

  Montgomery County Gazette article that Nate Koenig of BCC  High School will play @ Catholic; he's a 3-yr starter @ guard and among the school's all-time leaders in points, rebs, assists, and 3-pt goals.

Ronk,


Wrong team!! Or has Banzhaf lured you to become a Catholic Cardinal fan?

 Well, I could say I know Coach Howes or my wife is a CU grad(both true), but the main reason is I saw it in the paper and our chat group has said they're interested in conference recruiting.

What???!?!?!


Unacceptable!

Your wife had excellent taste...in colleges at least.   

Sounds like a nice catch for the Cardinals.  I have high hopes for next season.

Are you starting the "Koenig for ROY" campaign yet?

Is it true Catholic is jumping from the D3 ranks to Division 1?

Coach Bessior makes the case for Scranton to move to Division 1, or 2 about a minute into this segement. Coach looks good, maybe we should get him back in the Long Center?

Thanks NEPA...seeing the Coach on the bench would make many happy...reality is that will never happen at this point.
  There is zero chance that Scranton or any other respectable D3 school leaves for D2. That level is generally considered an academic wasteland & is only used as a holding point for schools passing through on their way to D1. NCAA rules make a stop at D2 mandatory however, I can not think of any schools that stay at that level by choice if D1 is the goal.
  I think there are always going to be some alumni pushing for the move up but, before that happens, I think a bit more of winning on the D3 National level would be in order. I mean 18 point wins vs. Penn St. Hazleton will only take you so far.

Peer institutions? Chestnut Hill a private Catholic college outside of Philly moved from DIII to DII. Comes to mind, I don't know if they plan on going Division 1.


@ Saratoga ....I don't know that as Bessior said the Physical Plant (facilities) isn't more important than winning on the national stage at this point.

Ralph...Scranton has no peer D2 schools in the area. Virtually all of the D2's are in the Pennsylvania Athletic Conference (Bloomsburg, East Stroudsburg, Kutztown etc.). There is not a snowballs chance in hell Scranton is interested in joining a state school conference. They are quite happy right where they are from all accounts.
