Message: [QUOTE="Dillon77, post: 2642508, member: 6620"] I was checking the DIII WBB tournament and a few things became very apparent: NESCAC plays hoops very well (both finalists were form the conference) and the NESCAC coaches of said teams -- and others -- are very good and successful. So, I thought about a D1 School in New England that has a good academic reputation that needs a boost in it's basketball program -- Boston College -- and wondered if these three teams might be worth considering: - [B]G.P. Gromacki of Amherst[/B] is in his 11th Season and has a winning percentage only second to one Geno A. He's got a two-year winning streak and has won the DIII championship two years running. - [B]Carla Berube of Tufts[/B]. I know a lot of Boneyarders think her lifestyle would preclude her from being considered, but quality is quaility and she is a relatively short drive away. She's also affiliated with the National program. and one just up the road in Maine: -[B] Bowdoin head coach Adrienne Shibles.[/B] No coach in Bowdoin's history has enjoyed a better start to their career, as Shibles has gone 194-60 (.764) with a NESCAC title and eight NCAA Tournament appearances. You'd assume that they'd have excellent contacts for a certain type of student-athlete that would certainly mesh with BC and I'm sure all of them could expand that thinking. I know longtime DIII coach turned D1 head [B]Nancy Fahey[/B] had a tough first year at[B] Illinois [/B]but the shelves were empty in Champaign and she's got some players coming in next year. Plus, I think the segue from NESCAC to BC has a bit more similarities than Wash U to B1G. Thoughts? [/QUOTE]
