Message: [QUOTE="UcMiami, post: 2129849, member: 199"] The idea of preseason for D1 schools is to work out kinks in live action without it counting, and for D2 and D3 schools they make a little money and they give there kids a chance to see the other world and if they are good the coaches get teaching moments on tape - there have actually been some games that turned out much more competitive for D1 schools than they expected or probably wanted. And with a good coach it can be constructive and instructive and fun - last year Lubbock Christian came to the northeast with a plane full of fans, played in Boston and then came to Gampel - they had a great time, played hard smart basketball, got obliterated by Uconn, went home, used the film and the lessons learned (copyright:JPM) and went undefeated in D2 winning the championship in Indianapolis with the Uconn contingent including coaches cheering them on! So yeah, it can help, just like Jen scheduling a thrashing from Geno made sense to her, or Holy Cross doing the same for 20 years. [/QUOTE]
