Trey Calvin is awesome. I'm more annoyed about Tristan Enaruna.

Damnit! Free had better numbers throughout the year. If only he would have outperformed Enaruna in our two meetings this season!

Bart Lundy missed out on coach of the year because the Panthers did not win the regular season title. Most likely, that is what it came down to. If he/we could only have the end of the last Green Bay game back. And yes, Calhoun had a bunch of seniors/graduates. He deserves full credit for putting a team like that together. YSU's net rating is 114. MKE's is 209. If YSU wins the HLT (and that is a big if), it will be seeded in the dance higher than any other HL team. Of course, if they would have an award for Best Turn-Around of a Team by a Head Coach Award, Lundy wins hands down. I think it's also worth mentioning that we have been VERY, VERY lucky this season. We have been getting absolutely blown off the court in numerous games (even ones we come back to win). Ultimately that's not representative of a truly good team. Everyone knows that having a consistent big margin of victory tends to indicate team strength more consistently than anything else and winning close games is more luck than anything. Now, you can argue that we were playing way below our level and coming back is representative of who we actually are...but I think it's far more likely that others look around, see a team that is routinely down by 20 to terrible teams and think "yeah, that team is undisciplined and not that well coached especially considering their talent and athleticism". Factor in that we turn the ball over like craz and then do asinine things like not fouling at the end of the green bay game or chuck awful shots at bad times (like BJ at the end of the recent IPFW game was so awful that that triple double is trash IMO, he almost single-handedly threw that game with like 8 awful possessions in the last 5 mins) and I think it's hard for some to vote Lundy as Coach of the Year. I also think that if we don't improve the weak areas of the roster we could end up having a rude awakening next year and we lose a bunch more games that we barely pulled out this season where luck just doesn't go our way and we finish next year closer to .500 and scratching our heads wondering what happened.
That said, we should have gotten more than 1 all conference selection.

Someone said some time ago they dont hand out participation awards in this league...
IMO Freeman's immaturity cost him and Bart playing different line ups almost every game counted against the coach as well.
We have not won sh*t yet Win the tournament Bart and everyone who voted againist Milwaukee ...eats crow.

When you look at overall statistics of those that made the first team all conference vs. BJ, it's somewhat of a coin flip. BJ probably lost some votes due to his non-basketball actions in some of the games.
You can argue all you want that a coach that won the regular season did a better job, but no one had to start from scratch, get picked 9th and still finish second, a game out of first. Yes, there were inconsistencies, but I think overall Lundy did the best job in the conference this year.

One play* out of first place.

One play* out of first place. One play from knowing we’re at minimum going to the NIT. It’ll feel all that much worse if we don’t win the NCAA auto bid as that would likely be the end of our season unless we do something with the CBI, which I feel is unlikely.

Do you suppose the Athletic Director still thinks the CBI isn't a worthy reward for the season we've had, if the NIT and the NCAA don't come calling?

Also, I don’t know if we’d get in even if we had interest unless we were willing to pay for a home game.

I might be the only one who doesnt care about the CBI other then the fact its more time for the team to gel and we return alot. The actual allure of non NCAA tourney action is pretty low for me.

Still unbelievable to me that you can fire a guy after he had 20 wins and beat UW-Madison, Minnesota in a year and got an invite to the CBI. Lundy might want to watch his back if we get a CBI invite haha.

If you don't trust Amanda Braun, trust her self-interest - and her self-interest aligns with our interests, which is us being as good as possible.

I hate to open a can of worms, Jimmy, but if that were the case it doesn't explain Pat Baldwin Sr. at all..
