Upstate CAC Coaches Thread Topic

You know polo, the +/- settings on 3 point shooting is one of the great unkowns to me in this game. When I first started this game, I had a solid (though not great in hindsight) SG by the name of Bobby Morris on my ferrum squad. I had him at +1 or +2 on many occasions, and we rode his shooting to a solid debut season that has brought me back for so muc more.

Since then, I've grown to distrust the + setting w/ any kid getting a significant % of the offense. Perhaps nothing I hate more than losing a 2 point game while watching my SG go 0-7 from 3 point land. As such, I've grown to favor the -1 or 0 for many of my players.

However, I have in the past found that having one of my gaurds w/ a low % of the offense set to a +1 has really opened up the offense before. When all else failed, this small switch (generally w/ a PG) has really made the offense purr. I'm now experimenting with a SF playing a lot of backup PF at georgetown set to a +1. We've pulled out some very unexpected wins at Georgetown, especially in some tough road contests. I've also got a PF at Texas that I just moved to a -1 (off a -2) and got a PF playing SF, that will play PF next year at a potentially 0 setting (he's at a -1 playing SF this season) We'll have to see how that carries out.

I'm heading to Vegas for a LEED conference this evening, but wouldn't mind looking into this more in depth when I got back if you want to exchange sitemails, strategies, review box scores, etc.... Like you I've typically always set my Posts to a -2 automatically, but have wondered if that potentially clogs the lane (especially in a motion offense)

this was the worst seasons for the upstate in years, next season it is time for redemption.

there is no way we finish with less than 6 NT teams and are GUARANTEED to be #1 RPI conf

as for season one of the oldave challenge. i about had a heart attack. after starting the season 16-1 (6-1 conf), Rochester sputtered out the rest of the season. my conference mates came through and saved me from dishing out any money to mr davey.

gots a feeling my money is safe in season two as well, but after that i'm a bit nervous, and thats when i can start losing big money. good luck to you the rest of the way sir (in OOC that is)

Agree mrpolo09, I know we only lose 1 player (we had 3 upperclassmen and made 3rd round PI) so I'm expecting to be strong next 2 for sure and will take my licks at Rochester. Chicago is much the same so I agree I think your money is secure for next 2 seasons. And then, hutchbrett should have Case-Western resurgent again. And marmup always seems to have Washington steady & tough.

olddave will make you sweat some seasons out (he's too good a coach not to) but I think your funds will be safe...
