How is YOUR Career Legacy going?!?!

[cubsball899]

JUST WON!!!! 64-63 wow they missed a halfcourt heave at the buzzer... my point guard corey wright junior came up huge in the second half, went 10-10 from the charity stripe, bledsoe could not guard him. he's a 5'10 quick guy with hops as well, had a 2 handed dunk over 2 6'8 guys in the Notre Dame game, so he kept getting to the rim and managed to get fouled

also had HUGE game from my center Roland Jordan with 15 points and 6 rebounds and 2 blocks while shutting down Daniel Orton to just 6 points and 6 rebounds

my defensive specialist michael culpo (all 6'1 of him) shut down darnell dodson to just 4 points on 1-5 shooting

i also got 13 points off the bench from my shooter kyle johnson

all in all thats a HUGE win for this program, pushing me to 6-5 now on the season with a very talented young nucleus.... defense wins championships baby!




**** its 1 in the morning

I took my 13 seed Montana St team against 4 seed Alabama and nearly got blown out of the arena in the first 5 minutes. Down 16-4, I slowly managed to claw my way back and trailed only 38-36 at the half. 2nd half it was back and forth most of the way until the final few minutes, when my 4 yr starter at PG got hot and hit back to back 3's to ice the game and send the Bobcats to the second round of the tourney. Final score 79-70.

It ended up being the biggest upset of the whole first round, and I didn't really expect to win. My team overall is 82 and Alabama was 93.

Next game I catch a break, playing against the 5 seed Miami (OH). They're only an 85 overall so I should have a good chance but they did go 30-4.

Miami (OH) put up a good fight in the 1st half, though Montana St still went into the break with a 29-28 lead. Junior Center Tyquan Blevins completely took over in the 2nd half and the rout was on. Blevins finished with 20 pts and 13 rebounds and the Redhawks really had no answer for him inside, eventually losing 71-51.

This means little Montana St, the 13 seed in the south regional, will be making their 1st ever sweet 16 appearance. However, I've decided to sim the rest of the tourney and explore moving up the coaching ranks. Hopefully my contract won't be extended, which always kills my chances of landing a bigger better job.

If no suitable offers come in, I'll still have a solid base of returning players and an excellent recruiting class coming in, including at least 3 players rated in the top 150 overall, possibly more depending on offseason recruits.

My poor MTSU Bobcats were destroyed without me leading the way, falling to Louisville in the sweet 16 by 51 points!

In the offseason I received 2 coaching offers from the Colonial that I considered, Virginia Commonwealth and Northeastern. After examining the rosters it's a no brainer, VCU is my new team! The Rams took 22 wins to the NCAA tourney as a 9 seed, and knocked off 8 seed Kansas in the first round before losing to #1 seed Washington in the 2nd round.

The previous head coach used this momentum to land a power conference job at Nebraska, leaving behind a loaded roster. I inherit the entire starting 5, an overall team rating of 84, and a 3 star local SF who my scouts tell me can shoot the 3 with consistency.

Then I catch the biggest break yet. The other available scholarship became available when a PG the previous regime recruited decided to sign elsewhere and in need of a center I notice a 7'2 three star prospect from washington that NO ONE is recruiting! After scouting him it becomes obvious he has 4 or 5 star ability and is flying way under the radar.

I assume after a week or two a power school will sweep in and snatch him up but it never happened and I land the steal of the 2012 class! At 291 lbs, a rating of 78 (including a 90 on offensive rebounding), he'll be the starter from day 1! This is gonna be a real treat, stay tuned!

I am in my 6th year at Dartmouth. I have made the tourney twice, but haven't gotten past the 2nd round. My team this year is rated right around 80, so hopefully we can do something productive. I had some decent job offers, most notably Central Michigan, but ultimately decided to stay with Dartmouth. I am just a really big fan of the Ivy league and how they don't have a conference tournament. I might leave after this year but it depends on the offers i get. My coach is rated B-, so I don't think I will get any really good offers. Do coaching offers depend more on how your team does or on your coaches stats? I mean if I took my team to the final four would I get some pretty good offers?

Haven't seen one made before, but when they go up and the games on the line your'e on the edge of your seat. Seen a few LONG 3's tho

Coaching offers depends on your grade, to get offers from mid-major/major conferences you have to be at B- or above, to get offers from power conferences you have to be at B+ or above.

[l3ulvl]

Yeah it depends on both really. If your grade isn't high enough you won't get offers from the top schools. But even if you have a high grade you need to win games as a team. I think if you took Dartmouth to the final 4, not only would you gain some coaching points but you'd be a hot commodity on the coaching market.
