Lots of good players not on the list

One of my favorite moments includes 2 not on that list:  Tony Carr of UWEC and Andre McCoy of WW going at it shot for shot--I think they both had about 35, and WW won by about 7-8 pts.

Good luck narrowing it down to 10

We know a little bit more about Point, but what about the rest of the conference?  Have any scrimmages helped answer the following questions?

• How will the new player(s) fit in at RF and WW?
• Who will take Mane's shots at LaX?
  Will UWEC play like Marquette did under Crean with Green in charge?  (lots of plays)
  Is Cross at UW-P ready to take the next step to becoming a dominate big man?

Lots of questions--don't know if I can wait until the 15th for answers!

I correct myself on 1 point of my earlier post.  Nimrods is not a mining term, but is found in the Bible.

Other unusual nicknames found here:

Whitewater High School in Wisconsin is also the Whippets, ever since the 40's or 50's.  (Before that they were the Quakers.  Why?  no idea).

Of course, for truly strange nicknames a person needs to travel to northern Wisconsin or the U.P.  Examples:  The Hurley Midgets or the ever-popular Watersmeet Nimrods.  (Both are iron mining terms, not comments on the people who live there.)

MizzouBall:  As a coach, I would say that to embrace the system, it almost always has to be 100%.  Quite a few teams press and run like Missouri, but the system is a whole different level. 

The biggest assumption to the system working is how fast shots go up.  Coach A has stated all stats are based on a shot being taken every 12 seconds of the game.  This is the pace he feels necessary for conditioning to take part, and for the rest of the statistical measures he uses to be effective.

The number one way to ensure quick shots is to sometimes concede lay-ups--"If you can get the ball past half-court, you can score."  As a coach, your friend would have to ask himself if he can stand watching a team shoot 20 uncontested lay-ups a game, and if he can, will the parents and school board have a fit?   I like my teams to play as fast as they can, but I can't commit to the system; I am more like Missouri where they contest everything, but conceed nothing.

Another team your friend could study is VMI--they are the child of a Grinnell-Missouri hook-up.
