MBB: Centennial Conference

Ahem, you're entitled to your opinion. Sorry, I stand by mine.

[Pat Coleman]

Yes, but I actually am the Centennial post police and the police for all the other boards as well. Sorry to have to spell it out for you but just in case it needed to be clarified.

swat dad,
i heard from someone who knows a kid on the team that the new coach is quite focused and serious about changing the basketball program. it sounds as if he will help the team take their play to a higher level, which is great. i am sure that his experience coming from davidson, a recently successful D1 program with very few students in the school, motivates him to build swarthmore into a more competitive team. in terms of my comment about dads hyping their own sons, i have seen too much of it with parents from middle school on up. i was hoping it would stop in a conference like the centennial, given the quality of schools and families. not everyone agrees that it is unappealing. the comment was meant for anyone who feels it applies to them.
good luck this year!!!

when a guy calls himself "dad," i dont really know how thats anonymous.  Coco, i thought that was a rationale, if not lengthy, retort to centfan's rather odd request.

Thanks OTS, I have that tendency when its something I'm pretty passionate about.

Centfan, darn it, I was hoping it would stay secret until the season started. It is very serious and much different. I hope this is a good year for anyone. And, if I have ever said anything that is not positive, I do apologize. I always try to be nothing but positive as I love the Centennial Conference!

SwatDad, keep supporting your son.
I support mine all the time. He just got back from his deployment in southwest Asia.

Swat dad,
you are one of the kindest people on here.
God bless all the young men in our lives

Thank you! I have spent the greater part of my life coaching young men basketball, both at the high school level and the AAU level. The one thing I do know is that all the young men are the same, whether playing for you or against you. I really enjoy the time after the game getting to know Centennial players and parents who are on or for the other team. Every young man I have met has been an incredible kid. When my son scored his 1000th point last year at Ursinus, I bet every opposing player and parent stayed after the game to congratulate my son. I thought it was a class act. I also loved after the F&M game, my mother in law went up to a player and told him not to guard her grandson so hard. The young man cracked up and talked to her over a half hour. We are all so blessed to be around such class acts! I hope the season goes really well, that all your teams win all their games except when playing Swarthmore, and you enjoy all the wonderful memories made throughout the season. And I agree, God Bless our young men who are keeping us safe. Basketball is a game, protecting us is life and death.

agreed, swat dad. well said. good luck this year!!

[centfan]

will someone please tell coco to stop writing to me. i am surprised that he is still allowed on this board. isn't he way over the negative karma limit?
hopefully, there will be a centennial conference fan game someday so we can enjoy watching coco showcase his skills. if we match up, i will immediately post him and call for the ball. should be fun.

2012 centennial season is creeping towards us!!!

Thought you Centennial and mainly F&M fans might be interested to see this.
