Yeah.... how bout that SMU MAC game? With a center scoring as much as he did, you would think it'd help to have some height in there.


Any talks for who gets freshman of the year? That kid from St Thomas could really play.

For all concerned about Trewick and the coaching position at Gustavus:


I would like it to be known that my intentions in my last post was not to place concentration on Trewick and any jobs that he may have considered in the past. I was clearly expressing my dismay and disgust for the Saint Mary's basketball program in general. I did point out that it WAS a rumor that I had heard. And after I had posted it, I had received information from the source stating that it was merely Trewick insinuating to the head coach that he might apply for the position is all.


Also, I only post on subjects that I am well informed on. I take offense to someone who calls me an "uniformed hack". I believe the statistics and former players that I had given in my last post makes me a bit of a credible source on the subject.

HoopScoops--

Lets get serious.... The Saint Mary's basketball program is the worst program in the state of Minnesota. Michael Trewick has honestly brought the team's record down (winning only one game this season), the program's morale down, and the university's overall GPA down (with the intelligent recruits that he and his assistant coaches had brought in).

Being a student of SMU, I am well aware of the attitudes that the younger players have towards the program. They aren't excited to have Michael Trewick lead them to the MIAC championship, aren't excited to go to practice, and there is an overall agreement that Michael Trewick should stick to assistant coaching. (Which rumor has it, that he applied for the Gustavus assistant coaching position this past summer..... weird.)

As a student and a fan, I sincerely wish the best for the Men's basketball team. I just don't see any hope for them in the future. Michael Trewick is not only the only coach in the country that doesn't have his masters but he may be the least intelligent person to ever step foot on SMU's campus. Nigel Jenks is a strong, tough coach but his recruiting is subpar. His recruits do not fit into the MIAC style of play and academically aren't able to hang around very long. And as for the 2nd assistant coach, Jack Nelson... I heard he's a nark and things should be kept on the downlow for he has an ear in every click at school.

I am not just backing up my arguments with attitudes of players, students, and parents but I am also able to back them up with facts.
The following students were recruited in "Hoopscoop's Laziest Class Ever": (Mind you, the majority of these players were recruited by Mark Lovelace....... a coach who left the program to take a Division I coaching position)
Dan Cormier
Mike Rohr
Jason Washington
Fiore Buccieri
Dave Shaw
Alex Walker
Dan Lewis
Eric Lear
Eustance Kessah
Ian Sinclaire
Kyle Hubbard
Dominique Deal
(Only 1 player remains on the basketball team as to this day)


Here is also a list of all the other players that Michael has "parted ways" with:
Dan Kloak
Travis Simmering
Jimmy Waida
Allen Emmery
Jeff Tendall


Another cute, little, successful fact of Michael Trewick is the number of players that Michael Trewick has seen through and graduated in his 4 years of head coach at SMU. There has only been 5 players that have been able to graduate in 4 years. 1 of those 5 players happens to be Jack Nelson who now has years of assistant coaching in the worst program in the miac to look forward to.

I would also like it to be known that I am NOT one of those students that had written a letter to the Athletic Director. I feel bad for every single player that goes through Saint Marys Basketball and I pray that they DO make it through 4 years of college basketball although things aren't looking great for them. I DID NOT write a letter informing the AD of Michael Trewick's illegal job application over the summer nor did I inform all the parents of the players on the team of Trewick's recent strategy to keep his job for another year.
Strategy Being:
Blaming a losing season on his two seniors' attitudes in order to keep his job for another year.... Savage.

My thoughts on the MIAC and the SMU basketball season. Looking forward to responses.....
