MBB: Centennial Conference

[Pat Coleman]

Kind of apples and oranges at different positions, right?

[ronk]

  Ashworth and Milligan play the same position; so, a choice of Franz over Milligan on the basis of stats is equally appropriate/inappropriate when comparing Franz and Ashworth. Any apples/oranges was your choice, not mine. 

[Pat Coleman]

My understanding is that Franz and Milligan are both point guards and Ashworth is a shooting guard. Is my understanding (and the nominations provided) mistaken?

[ronk]

  Upon further review, Milligan's position presents a problem from the standpoint of our discussion. When Max Brewer was in the game(26-29 minutes/game for the Centennial and NCAA tournament games, e.g.), he was definitely the point guard and Milligan the shooting guard. The issue is clouded because Brewer never started a game, even though he played a majority of the game; it's arguable whether Milligan did point guard functions when Brewer wasn't in there or if the offense just operated without a point guard.

Having seen all three players quite a bit this season... Franz, Milligan, Ashworth.

Stats say one thing, but Franz and Milligan were better defenders then Ashworth... Franz did more on offense both distributing and scoring then the other two... and if you look at team's success, Franz helped his team succeed this season more then what Milligan and Ashworth were able to do.

Also, side note, Franz's defense is underrated. There is a reason his steals/game is so high. Milligan is a solid defender, but I expected him to do more on offense. Ashworth scored a lot of points, but it wasn't like there were a ton of other options on that Scranton team... so he tended to take it upon himself to just score.

Congratulations to Mike McGarvey recently hired as an assistant coach to Colgate.  A great hire for Colgate and a major loss for Ursinus.

Mike has found his calling and will do an excellent job at Colgate as he has for the past nine years at Ursinus.

Can I ask a question? What is Karma and why do I have negative? My posts are positive, someone please explain. Thanks!

[etbu27]

Its a rating of your posts some of the older members can take advantage of. I think its after 100 posts (but im very forgetful) you are able to give people +1or -1 karma. I wouldnt take it to heart, its possible that a conference rival is giving you negative karma. Keep up the positivity though.

[mailsy]

Its 200 posts, by the way.  Then you can agree or disagree with a post with karma points.  I have also read in the past that asking is tantamount to getting some negative karma as well.  So just be warned.  (No you didn't get any from me).  But I read your posts Swat Dad as I do others and sometimes people will disagree by giving you negatives even when you're trying to be positive, because they just don't like what you said.  Keep staying positive and your karma will grow. Oh and Happy Father's day a week early!

Some may call last year in the C.C a down year.... Whether it was or was not, this year should be a good one! Anyone know about any recruiting classes for the C.C? Happy Fathers day to all you dads.

[Swat Fan #1]

Happy Father's Day every dad out there. I haven't heard much about recruiting this year. After two good years of Freshmen at Swarthmore, I am not sure what they are bringing in this year. One recruit's last name is Barkley, but Chuck isn't his dad (unfortunately)!  =)

Happy 4th everyone!!!
