Yes, blame Wittenberg for following NCAC rules.

QuoteMy vote would go to Rob Clune and Allegheny.

I'm a loyal Big Red fan, but I'm on the opposite side of the fence on their coach and I have to say I agree with Clune vote for COY.  I don't think that Denison's going from 5-11 in conference last year to potentially 8-8 this year warrants a second thought as COY material.  Having seen some of the coaching techniques and decisions over the past several years, I would say that Denison's wins have come as a result of the talent rather than the coaching.  

I'd like to see a change in the staff and the system for these Big Red players.  I think you would see a much more competitive Denison if that were to happen.

Will you take Witt's Bill Brown in a trade for Ghiloni?

Call Dr. Erickson at 1-937-327-7916 to make the deal.

Witt4Ever,

Thanks for one of the most candid posts I've seen on this board. I've always had the sense that Wittenberg has had more physical talent than Wooster, but seeming underperformance (with the exception fo 2006) and the attrition rate does seem high there. Brown has what I think is a pretty strong recruiting advantage over Wooster due to the school's location. Springfield, and Clark County as a whole, is much bigger and has a lot more talent to choose from. In other words, the 30-40 mile radius around Wittenberg is much more fruitful (including Dayton) than it is around Wooster. So Wooster is forced to go farther away to get its recruits. That is not a small thing in Div. III. Being able to pluck a good local player every few years makes for easier recruiting. And while Wooster has had some nice players from nearby, the last all-conference level players were Nate Gaubatz and Steve Thompson in 2001.

Do not get me started on the recruiting topic. Brown hates to recruit locally because he does not want to deal with the players parents.

Regarding Wittenberg's downfall this season, much can be gained by looking at the present day roster and coaching of Bill Brown. As some may know, I am not a fan of Bill Brown's coaching style. Just ask Arte Taylor.

Brown plays too many players during the game. During Witt's heyday (70's), Coach Hunter only played 7 or 8 men a game, these players accrued around 30-35 minutes a game whereas Brown's starters are lucky if they play 25 minutes a game.

Sometimes Brown's player combination just boggles the mind. Inconsistent rotation.
As a Freshman recruit, Lewis Buzzard was the talk of Springfield, as he was picked in the top 125 post players in the Midwest regardless of college division. Sometimes Buzzard starts a game, then he does not play any minutes for 2 or 3 games. So the team can not get into any flow.
And for a team that does not scrimmage during practice and does not have any set plays, they are lucky the streak has continued as long as it has.

The roster situation should be noted as the following:
6 players that were freshmen that played significant minutes on the 2006 final 4 team are no longer on the team due to injuries or just quitting the team.

The players are : Dan McNeely(quit team), Tyler Howard (never returned to team from serious concussion in 2006 NCAC tourney game against Wooster, DJ Corbett (quit), Mark Caraway (transferred to Wright State to be with his girlfriend).

And the other 2 players are Gregg Hill (Witt's best  player, injured for over 3 years with a bad shoulder) and Kyle Bigler (point guard with ACL).

Now for  the rest of the story:

27 players are no longer with the team since the 2005-06 season
that could be playing at Witt now.

First the names of the players that played significant Varsity minutes:

Dan McNeely, Tyler Howard, DJ Corbett, Mark Caraway,  Gregg Hill, Kyle Bigler, Robby Peters, Derrick Hannon (transferred to Cedarville, local fans knew about this before Brown knew), Casey McCoart, Trent Bailey, Tim Beck ( saw him at the local Meijer store before season, said looking forward to the new season, then just quit),Jeromy Romero (on and off player from Delaware, Oh)

Now for the other players that played JV:
Dan Bruce, Sean Hyland, Jace McGonigle(was a star at West Jeff but never saw much varsity action),Sonny Snell, Nick Vukasovich,  Ben Dobberstein, Nick Felter, Joe Klamforth, Kevin Lange. Brian Morrow, Tyler Siemon, Adam York, Darrel Cook and Patrick Guido.

And for the record, I went back at looked at Daniel Russ's statistics during his freshman season He never started one game. Period. Maybe this speaks volumes about Alex Brandt or lack of talent that Witt has. I hope the former and not the latter.

As Bill Brown said during a recent post game interview, "Winning just is not important as used to be". If he feels like this, the players probably sense it.

Wittenberg athletics sure has changed in the last 5 years. Witt fans expect that the football and basketball program will lose and the soccer and volleyball teams will win.

Just like former Wittenberg President Wm. Kinnison wanted over 30 years ago and one of the reasons that Witt got out of the OAC. He wanted team parity among all varsity sports. A Springfield native which makes it worse..

Who would have thunk it.

Kenyon 75
Hiram 74 OT

I do believe the conference tournament will be wide open with no 'gimme' games, even in the 1-8 game. No one will be satisfied just making the tourney.

But Witt as a #5 seed and on the road in the first round. It could happen! Wowser.

better than a #7 seed 

Wittenberg 68
Allegheny 58

Wooster 78
Wabash 58

OWU 70
Hiram 62  OT

IU - East? Well, when you need play a game, that certainly will be a game. A good game? Now that's another story. But it is a game...

Yea, I guess Wittenberg could have scheduled Calumet College of St. Joseph
