MBB: Landmark Conference

[NEPAFAN]

Yes can someone with a higher basketball IQ let me knew why Danzig never puts anyone on the line to rebound free throws?

[saratoga]

No idea.
The only thing I can think of is that he's afraid of getting a cheap foul on a missed shot.
If that's the case, then work on sealing the inside player correctly.

For actual positive results, look at the games that have been won when the offensive team does get the rebound, kicks it out & then scores 2 or 3 on that extra possession.

Please Matt Catholic were on there heels all night until that technical with about 3 minutes to go Scranton was up 71-68 and fonville hit the 2 free throws and Catholic also got the ball at half court from the T.Your lunatic coach should have been given a technical when Danzig called a timeout and was looking for an explanation on a foul and that is when your coach came to half court and start yelling because Carl looking for an explanation and that is when the assistants had to retain your coach from yelling and leaving the coaches box.Why does the Landmark allow Catholic the advantage of having 8 extra timeouts?That is a big advantage for the home team you have an advantage if you are down by 11 like Catholic was and never used 1 of the 5. Instead waited for the media/tv timeout or whatever they call it.One other thing there was an old gentleman standing in the doorway yelling at the Scranton bench yelling at coach and players as he is coaching and the gentleman in the yellow shirt never once went up and said anything to stop him from harassing the coach and players as the game is going on.In the ladies game Scranton just made it up from the locker room and Woodruff and Payonk were just walking in and the ref was going to T up coach because he was 5 seconds late coming up and refs started the game without our coach being there very classyCatholic and refs.As soon as the buzzer buzzed they didn't wait.So Trevor went to that gentleman in the yellow shirt and told him about the situation about not being able to get out of the locker room and they were arguing Trevor and that gentleman
when he came up so that is why he didnt get a technical.

What?  Lot going on there...I think we'll just move on. 

Anyway, Catholic easily handled Merchant Marine today to lock up the #1 seed.  On we go to the playoffs.

There aren't an extra eight timeouts, that isn't how the system works... because when media timeouts are utilized, the regular timeouts are shifted to accomodate. For example, instead of 4 fulls (75 second) and 2 30 second timeouts like a normal game, a media timeout game has 3 30 second timeouts and one full (60 second) time outs AND you have to use one of those 30s in the first half or lose it at halftime.

Catholic and many other schools choose to use them for countless reasons... one of the chief ones being the media timeouts are utilized in the NCAA tournament for all rounds.

Scranton can use them if they so wish... so can every other conference team if they want. It isn't a conspiracy or anything.

Lots of fouls and lots of walking back and forth to the free throw line today in DC. The game was very even for the first 10 minutes or so, but Catholic was able to put a good run together and lead by 14 at halftime. The 2nd half was pretty awful to watch. No flow or rhythm to the game, but the result was all that mattered today. A month ago there was no way I thought Catholic would be #1 going into the conference tournament, but they've played some nice ball lately.

CUA sophomore Jay Howard scored his 1,000th point today, one of only a handful of CUA players to do so in two years.

For MMA, senior David Smith had a huge game with 29 pts. I've always enjoyed watching him play and I'm glad to see him end his career with a good game.

Dave who said anything about conspiracy.Dave stop putting words in my mouth that is your problems I asked a question my friend read my post this will be my last time answering you.They get it at under 16,12,8,4 so what if it 30 seconds or a full it is a timeout pllus the 5 you get.

Juan.. that is the name of the game. Written in the rules. Completely allowed. What is your problem with it?

[Matt Letourneau]

His problem is his team lost that particular game.

Hey Matt?What did you finally come out of the box.First time I heard from you in two years.Typical Catholic fan just like the lady walking out of the gym saying to a Scranton fan have a nice freaking ride home like I said very classy.Good luck in the playoffs hopefully we meet again on Saturday.

[NEPAFAN]

Agreed, not noted enough that Boken barely scored at the High School level and if Scranton can get a few more games can break the all time scoring record. To be fair to Gene the Machine, he did it in three years vice four.


Saratoga , I know a few players that Danzig is very loyal to. If you catch my drift...

I've got nothing but respect for the Scranton program (quite honestly some of the "Scranton" posters on here are much harder on their team than anyone else), and I think the vast majority of Catholic fans/alumni/staff feel the same way.

There isn't a fan base in the country for any sports in any level that doesn't have bad apples. If you are going to throw stones, you might want to look at your own fan base. I know even the Goucher fan base has bad apples. It is what it is.

Dave she didn't use the word freaking she used the f word by the way.My problem with all those time outs is this when Scranton was up by 11 he waited for the media timeout instead of burning one of the five you get he would at least used 3 of the 5 in the first half but in this case he didn't have to which means he would be left with two in the whole second half.So it was a very close game say that it came down to having no timeouts in the final 3 minute which he had it changes the game alot because after that Technical he called a time out and set his offense without those extra timeouts you wouldn't be able to do that.Dave name 4 teams in the Landmark that use that system.We are not divison 1 and is that shown on live TV or stream?

[San Juan]

You also said the ncaa is trying to speed up the game!My opinion is it makes it longer.I understand the reason Divison 1 does but come on d3.It is not like they are making millions of dollars Dave off of these media timeouts.
