Quick & Dirty Western Carolina Scouting Report

UL is my hot hot sex — Sat, 12 Dec 2009 20:10:38 -0000

Western Carolina is a veteran team that plays in Southern Conference (SOCON) and should keep the score closer than the -15 point opening spread when they face a reeling Cardinals team inside Freedom Hall.

The Catamounts will not be a walkover like one would expect from the typical "Directional Team X" playing at Freedom Hall in December. They lost badly at Texas in their 2nd game of the season but have won 8 straight & are 9-1 for the first time since 1958-59, boasting wins over Duquesne (a team that won at Iowa and took Pittsburgh to 2OT before losing) and at Bradley (beat #21 Illinois 11 days ago).

Scouting Report: The Catamounts are a more experienced version of Charlotte

- Veteran roster; Catamounts return all 5 starters from a team that had their first winning season this decade, finishing atop the SOCON North Division with a 16-15 record in 2008-09

- Top threats:
   — 2008-09 SOCON Freshman of the Year, 6-4 Guard, Sophomore Harouna Mutombo (yes, he’s related)
   — 6-6 Guard, Senior Brandon Giles (24 pts, 6 rebs, 6 stls @ Gard-Webb on 11/28/09)
   — 6-8 Forward, Senior Jake Robinson (25 pts, 7-11 3PT FGs vs. Duquense on 11/25/09 off the bench)

- Very capable 3PT FG shooting team; made 17 of 35 3PT FGs against Duquesne this year

- Free throws are not a strong point; Louisville needs to challenge every shot and test early on how agressive the refs will let them play on D

- Balanced, the Catamount's leading scorer, Robinson (11.3 pts/gm), is their 6th man

Louisville will win if they: Challenge every 3PT attempt, limit Catamounts to less than 5 Offensive Rebounds, finish with 13+ assists and force 15+ turnovers

Western Carolina will win if they: Hit 8+ 3PT FGs, hold Samardo Samuels to under 10 points/5 rebounds, finish with 13+ assists

Prediction: 70-65 Cards

The Exclusive CC Interview with Charlie Strong

The Exclusive CC Interview with Charlie Strong

Robert Boland at The National Football Post put together an interesting hypothetical checklist that outlines the important questions that schools and athletic programs should think about when looking at potential coaching hires. Below is a snapshot of said checklist:

School questions:

1. Does this candidate have experience running a program similar to ours?
2. If not, what in his background makes him attractive to us?
3. Rather than his won-loss record, did he make it better?
4. Does this candidate address any of the failings or weaknesses of the outgoing coach?

Program questions:

8. What kind of football program should we be offensively and defensively?
9. If a coach doesn’t fit these styles currently, has he shown versatility in coaching or developing talent in other ways in the past?
10. Do we have any advantages or limitations in playing or recruiting certain types of players? If we are considering hiring a coach to make a change of style, do we have the ability to make it personnel-wise?
11. Does this candidate help with either extending our advantages or fixing our limitations?
12. How do our current players fit with this new system?

Part 2 of 2: UNLV fans storm the court as proud victors over Louisville after chanting "overrated" seconds beforehand.

It's hard to see it on this video but there were two blue-clad UK fans who stormed the court alongside the Rebel student section, one of whom was wearing a huge overstuffed blue foam cowboy hat on which was inscribed "I'm a huge douchebag" in invisible ink.
