Message: [QUOTE="Drew, post: 2060176, member: 3723"] Here is a recent article from a local paper on ECU basketball: [URL='http://www.reflector.com/ECU/2017/02/23/Compher-Football-hoops-face-different-challenges.html']Compher: Football, hoops face different challenges - Daily Reflector[/URL] [I]"Compher has set a tough standard for winning since taking the reins of ECU sports. He expects championships or, at the very least, championship races. As two more basketball seasons near their end, neither ECU hoops team is anywhere near contention. Like anyone surrounding the teams, Compher is quick to admit he is not happy with the results of either head coach Jeff Lebo’s men’s squad (15-13) or that of women’s coach Heather Macy (). But the AD also realizes just how formidable a task the American is. “That has proven to be a challenge, but I don’t think it’s insurmountable at all,” he said. “I think with the investment we’ve made in our facilities and certainly the level of talent we’ve been able to recruit as a consequence of the change in our league, I think the benefits are yet to be realized, but will be.” In short, Compher offered support for both Lebo and Macy, whose clubs are at the tail end of the regular season and have only their conference tournaments with which to build any credible momentum for next year. Compher said he still believes that can happen. “I don’t think that anybody looks back on the season and says that they’re happy with the number of victories that we’ve had, certainly within conference play,” Compher said. “But I also believe that they’re really trying to make progress with their respective teams in this league, and the league isn’t standing still either. So we’ve got to continue to grind on that. And it is a grind, and it’s been a long season.”"[/I] [/QUOTE]
