[focer4]

This is my first time doing a legacy and I am very new on making legacies so if you have anything that might help please share I would greatly appreciate it. But enough of that this is about a legacy. Coach Finch will be the coach of Cornell and I will be using rosters from the 2014-15 college basketball season. I will not play any games but will coach them. Expect 2-3 updates per week for now.

Backstory

Allen Finch grew up in a small town near Buffalo and was An OK basketball player and was good enough to start his senior year in high school where his dad was the head coach. His dream from as long as he could remember was becoming a basketball coach and eventually become a coach at Duke University because it was his favorite college basketball team. Because of this dream he decided to not use his degree from Pitt-Bradford and became a coach and his first job was a middle school coach at a local school. He excelled in his only year there and was hired by his father to be the Junior Varsity coach at his old High School and retained that position for 4 years. He then took the head coaching job off of his father when he retired and took a team that was 8-14 the year before and made them into a 13-9 team that made the playoffs. Then he helped them steadily improve over each of the next 3 years and won a State Championship his last season there. After 4 years being a head coach at the high school level Allen Finch decided that he wanted to make the leap into college coaching and took the head job at Cornell.

C** -indicates Captain

Nolan Cressler will likely be my go to guy. I am also at a serious lack of hieght. This may be a tough year with Miller only being 6'9.

I ran a legacy where I started out at Cornell and you are correct in saying Cressler will be your go to guy, he was stud for me.

Thanks for the compliment. I really liked my time at Cornell. The Ivy can be fun and challenging because there is no conference tourney, so winning your conference games become very important.

If I remember right, Miller was actually pretty dominating in the post even though doesn't have a ton of height.

Cornell downs Lehigh in Coach Finch's first game

In Coach Finch's first game as the coach of Cornell he comes out victorious against Lehigh. It was a low scoring affair mostly because both teams were sloppy in thier first games of the season. Cressler led the way in scoring with 10 point and hit a crucial and one to seal the game. Miller was also very strong with 9 points and 6 rebounds. Cherry also showed off his unselfishness with a game high 6 assists.

Lehigh was carried mostly by Senior PG Makey Mcknight who had 14 points. Lehigh also struggled to hit the long ball. (they shot .278)

Overall this game was a sign that the Big red need to be more smart about how they play.

A 6'9" center isn't bad for a small conference team at all, IMO.

Good luck!
