Re: Dakota Wesleyan Game Thread

OK two options.........

1. Run all your sets and have DWU coaches send the tape out to all opponents who request the tape.

Not even any need to contact DWU. Just go here and pony up $49.95 one time to see the entire conference for the season. It's archived.

There you go. Big reason not to show your sets, roster or anything else helpful. Rep points earned for providing the link.

Re: Dakota Wesleyan Game Thread

OK two options.........

1. Piss pound the NAIA DII school and learn nothing about your team. Run all your sets and have DWU coaches send the tape out to all opponents who request the tape. Play your starters the entire game. Play zone for a better matchup or run man-to-man defense to work on something more valuable down the road. Win by a large margin and satisfy your alumni and booster base.

2. Run absolutely nothing, give the opponent nothing to send out because it's basically an organized scrimmage. Work all your athletes into the fold to see where they currently stand after two weeks of practice. Work on your defense and put your team into a situation they can learn from to help them down the road.

People, this was an exhibition game. When it counts the team will respond and the coaches will have them prepared. The game was five days ago, let it go. Enough already.

Yep. Rep worthy.

Re: Dakota Wesleyan Game Thread

Nagy sounds a little superstitious if he didn't want to use any plays because of other people getting a sneak peak at what SDSU brings to the table. In the NCAA there's something called the film exchange, does SDSU do that? Some teams scout until there's nothing left to scout and still lose. Some teams don't scout at all and pummel a team, so I don't know it sounds like a sorry excuse to me. DWU came to play and to win, I think they deserve some credit. I once saw Pierre struggle with Pine Ridge in a jamboree a few years back, that's AA vs. A. The biggest thing I can think of is leadership, SDSU is still young as far as academic class goes and DWU has a lot of poised players. This is the first time I commented on this so sorry if it seems late but I'm not trying to carry the thread on, just give my two cents. and Joeboe I will kick your butt if you try to nit pick with me. (not really)

I think Nagy has been learning on the go a little as far as Division I goes. He's been playing new teams all the time and has little time to scout them out where in earlier games he would know the kids already. That is not a knock on Nagy. But why not take this advantage when you have it to not help your opponents? Why show something when you don't have to?

Leadership should not be an issue with this team. Experience will be though. Our frosh and sophs excluding Kai could beat DWU on any regular night. And not to "nit pick" here, but comparing AA HS basketball with A HS basketball doesn't really compare to SDSU and DWU. SDSU is the better team. That's a fact. Does DWU deserve some credit? Probably a little. But you play this game seriously and SDSU beats them by 35. Like Cadsev said...lets' move on and quit worrying about it. The game was 5 days ago.

NCAA DI College Hoops they aren't sending coaches out to scout opponents...um thats a violation. Film exchange doesn't happen typically between opponents in conference. Typically it's done outside of conference with a team they played. At the high major level they simply have to flip on the TV. It's not like SDSU is calling NDSU for their game tape. Sorry but that's not happening. This isn't HS hoops. Oh and by the way I can't think of any DI college basketball team that doesn't prepare a scout for each game. Typically each assistant coach rotates the scout for the opposing team on a given game. Just look at which assistant coach is standing up barking instructions and you can easily figure out who has the scout for that game. Some schools do assign that to one coach but typically it is rotated. Nebraska played Nebraska Wesleyan the other day....they call USF a few weeks ago for a tape...conference rule prohibited USF from sending a tape. Don't think for a second that DWU won't get calls for the game tape from the other night.

To add just a smidge to this, many programs use their schools' satellite technology to tape every game possible for a library. Michigan State has one person designated to coordinate this and tape every game that's available on broadcast TV. So it's not just exchanging tapes anymore.

Actually most high major DI's have the video coordinator position on staff now. It's just been a necessity the past 7 or so years with all the new methods and means to obtaining film other than the old exchange methods.

AJ mentioned to me last year that they record as many televised games as possible within the limitations of their technology. Of course it makes more sense for the women since they more often play top-notch opponents who would frequently appear on TV.

Re: Dakota Wesleyan Game Thread

Kind of related. I saw over the weekend #5 Michigan state was beat by Grandvalley State in an exhibition game. Tom Izzo is a very good coach and it sounds like he deployed the same strategy as Nagy. Just let the players play with no set plays and his decision backfired even worse. I know everyone has been very critical on the team after the near loss, but remember it is just exhibition and we are a very very very young team.

Re: Dakota Wesleyan Game Thread

I just checked the SDSU record for 2007-08 Season to date....... 0 Wins & 0 Losses.

Re: Dakota Wesleyan Game Thread

Cadsev, how do they rank teams in the RPI? I checked collegerpi.com and they have the women's up (all D1 teams are ranked 1) and once they put the men's on it will probably be the same until actual games are played. I was just wondering what the formula was once it got going, how they determine who's top 50, top 100, etc.

Re: Dakota Wesleyan Game Thread

From RealTimeRPI.com:

A team's RPI is a sum of three values: 25% of the team's winning percentage, 50% of its opponents' average winning percentage (strength of schedule), and 25% of its opponents' opponents' average winning percentage (opponents' strength of schedule). Only results against teams which are in NCAA Division I are counted in all of these winning percentages.

Thanks because I had no idea ... really don't pay much attention to RPI because it changes so much for many teams from year to year except for the elite programs. Still interesting to see that the Missouri Valley Conference had an overall conference RPI higher than the Big 12 last season.

I agree with this as the rpi link shows me nothing at this point in time. The RPI's seem to be based on last year's win and loss record. So season to date pretty well sums it up.
