SLIAC

[Wydown Blvd.]

There is interest on this page...
With my eyes and ears turned towards the Final Four, I don't have too much to add to the SLIAC news, but you definitely have a frequent reader in myself.

I had the same feeling with the UAA board earlier in the season -- watching a few games of each team and writing thoughts and news with no responses from other fans/posters. There are folks out there, some like myself have nothing good to say/add so we don't say anything at all

Hope, I also follow this thread, I appreciate your analysis and as a rule, am in agreement with it. I am a Westminster fan and am really proud of the girls for the great effort they gave this season. Coach Braden and Coach Coop are top notch and they get 105% effort from their players.

Keep posting, I am watching.

I, too, am here, hopefan.

I just don't have anything to contribute (except rarely).  Critics may note that that doesn't always stop me elsewhere, but you know what they say about critics!

[Coach Will]

Hope, you can't leave this group. as many of us look forward to your analysis every year. You will see Coach Will on the sidelines next year at Blackburn.   He has not been on much as he has been very busy recruiting, especially since he loses three seniors.

Good to hear that Coacjh Will has not been caught up in the personnel turnover going on at BC...  Coach Will, I had a blast at your alma mater a couple weekends ago.. hit a couple hot spots down by the river.... Very good crowds both nights at the games...

ooops... thought coach Will went to Augie, but when I checked his bio, I find it was North Park... My mistake....

From fontbonne.edu     a shocker

March 24, 2011- Fontbonne University head women's basketball coach Keith Quigley has stepped down after a 15-year run of success at the helm of the Griffin program. Coach Quigley stepped down to pursue other professional opportunities.

Fontbonne University athletic director Maria Eftink commended Quigley on his years of service with Fontbonne and the lasting lessons he has taught his players. 

"As both the Director of Athletics and a former player of Coach Quigley's, I would like to thank him for his time and commitment to Fontbonne Athletics and the women's basketball program," Eftink said. "He has had great success over the years and had a positive affect on many student-athlete's lives, including my own. The memories that have come from Coach Quigley's leadership will be with his players forever. He is a great coach and will be missed on the sidelines."

Quigley ends his tenure as the Griffins head coach as the most successful women's basketball coach in the history of Fontbonne. Quigley compiled a 254-134 overall record and a 154-40 Saint Louis Intercollegiate Athletic Conference (SLIAC) record.

Throughout his 15 year career at Fontbonne, Quigley's teams have never had a losing SLIAC record. He led Fontbonne to six SLIAC regular season championships, three SLIAC Tournament Championships and four NCAA Division III National Basketball Tournament appearances.  In 2001, Quigley led Fontbonne to a "Sweet 16" appearance in the tournament. Quigley was named the SLIAC Coach of the Year in 1998, 1999, 2000, 2001 and 2010.

Hope, you lost a bunch of cool points thinking and implying that I went to Auggie. I played for "The North PARK UNIVERSITY" I Played for the "Real Vikings" not the fake ones.

Coach  -  my thought is you were a strong presence around the basket no matter where you played!!!

Hope, I played at 6'5 and 240 pounds my junior and senior your. Shot around 63% from the field my junior your. I was an ok player. My daughter is better...you will be hearing about her soon. She is going to be the best player of the family, passing her dear ole dad. As a high school sophomore, she scored 500 points this year.

Coach  -  that is really cool info, what high school does she attend?  -  would love to check out 'Princess Will' in action next season...  (although I'll bet her Dad is tough on the referees at her games)

She plays at Southwestern Piasa, and he dad is very Quiet at the games. I go to enjoy her. Have never had any issues with the refs. I actually don't like sitting by the loud mouth fans, so I sit way away with my head phones on.

Coach Will says... "I actually don't like sitting by the loud mouth fans"

Wow... do I ever agree with that...  (no critique on any of my Webster fan friends, though)     But I have complained about that behavior more than one time on these pages...

wooo checked out Piasa SW... Great Season...finish at 26-5... somebody is really impressing defense with that team... they gave up 40 or more only 5 times all season, 50 or more only once!!!  and Gabby Williams 16 points and 7 boards per game.... but just like her dad, leads the team in Fouls.... ....  Aggressive... gotta love it.....
