~#$%&~The Coaching Career of Drew Clark~#$%&~

[DC72582]

The coach of the Missouri Tigers basketball program has decided to take a leave of absence due to health related issues. Mike Andreson led the Missouri Tigers deep into the NCAA Tournament last year. He will be temporaily replaced by Drew Clark. Clark runs the same type of defense as Anderson and a 4-Out offense. Clark is only 29 years old. He has been an assistant at Missouri after he graduated from the University of Texas. His dream has always been to become a great head coach. Can he fulfill that dream?

Team Overview- This team is full of good sophmores. Led by Denmon and English, this team is looking to prove that it wasn't just because of Demarre Carroll last year. Almost everyone on this team can rain 3s all day if you let them. They are predicted to finish 22-9 with a conference record of 11-5. It will be very interesting to see what this team can do in the tough Big 12.

Llyod Berry- **** SF 6'6 184 lbs. ABL Stats:12.1 Pts. 9.8 Reb. 4Ast.


Author's Note- I will be playing 12 minute halves on All-American. I will play every game unless I know it will be a blow out. The games I will sim are Southern, Coppin State, and UMKC. Any questions, just ask.

MIZZOU Madness
This is a introduction of the players to the fans. I will be playing this every year and provide the stats. Here are the teams:

Gold Black
PG-Zaire Taylor PG-Kim English
SG-Marcus Dixon SG-Marcus Denmon
SF-Keith Ramsey SF-J.T. Tiller
PF-Justin Stafford PF-Lawrence Bowers
C-Tyler Stone C-Steve Moore
6-John Underwood Rs. 6-Keith DeWitt
7-Miguel Paul



When you see these teams on paper you would figure the Black team would dominate. That however was not the case. The gold came out wanting to win. The black team threw up 3s almost every trip down the floor it seemed. We hope this is not a sign of things to come.



I am sorry I forgot to get the stats for this game. The final score was Gold 92 Black 74.

The Chippewas came out strong. They got out to a 19-7 lead. The refs were a little favorable to the Chippewas early in the first half. Later in the first half the Tigers started raining down threes and driving to draw fouls. Kim English put the Tigers on his back for about 4 minutes by making 2 threes, getting a steal, and a dunk. The score at halftime is 38-38. The Tigers came out with a 12-4 run. It was all Tigers from there on out. They were raining 3s and getting easy dunks. Bowers came in and gave this team a spark. Within the first minute he was back in after getting in foul trouble, he blocks a guy with intensity and gets the ball and slams it down on the other end. The final score was 82-60.

Wofford Terriers(1-0) vs. Missouri Tigers(1-0)


Well this game was pretty much evenly matched from the tip. The Tigers led the whole game until with about 15 seconds left when Wofford hit a 3 to tie it up. The Tigers called a timeout and went with a small lineup, with Bowers at the 5 spot. They gave it to Bowers with 8 seconds left he pump faked and the defense bought on the fake and gave Bowers a wide open dunk. They lead by 2 with 3 seconds left. They heave it down the court and throw up a long 2 and it bounces off back iron. Tigers win 69-67! Tigers win!

Next Game- vs. Southern(0-1)

[DC72582]

Southern Jaguars(0-1) vs. Missouri Tigers(2-0)

The Jaguars came out strong 6 of their first 7 shots including 2 3 pointers. They started out on a 15 to 2 run but the Tigers went on to score 13 straight points before giving up 6 straight. The Jaguars 1-2-2 zone press was doing great. They did get beat deep a few times to Bowers, but other than that, they contained the Tiger's high flying offense. The Jaguars went on a 14 to 4 run before coach Clark called a timeout. The Tigers went into halftime down 35-24. They were o for 6 from the 3.

In the second half the Jags needed to keep up their good defense if they wanted to keep their lead. The Jags went on a 7-1 run to start the half. The refs were not calling any fouls on plays the Tigers were getting hacked. The Tigers decided to step up there defense. They were trapping which forced bad passes. They narrowed the score to 7 with 9 minutes left. They battled back and forth for 4 minutes then English hit the first 3 of the day to make it a 5 point game. Stone hits English on a backdoor cut to make it a 3 point game with 4 minutes left. English tips the ball away from Walls and bounces it off his leg out of bounds to get the ball back. Stone steals it and dunks it down with 3:21 remaining the score is 63-62, Southern. With two minutes remaining Southern is up by 4 with the ball. With 15 seconds Taylor hits a long 2 that he thought was a 3 to make it a 1 point game. The Tigers foul and the Jaguar's Walls is at the line. He makes the first one and misses the second. Denmon misses two block shots for the chance to tie it. The Jaguars get the ball and get fouled. Jones misses the front end of the one-and-one. The Tigers get the rebound with 4 seconds left. Taylor misses the mid-range jumper. Tigers get upset by the Southern Jaguars. They almost pulled off the comeback. Final score is 75-73.

Coach's comments- We should of won this game. I believe we had 4 block shots missed in the last 2 minutes. 2 by Moore and 2 by Denmon. The next game you won't see them two in the starting 5. They will be replaced by Stone and Tiller. We need to make our shots. We made one 3 all game, that is not Missouri like.

I assume you simmed the Southern game like you said you were going to do and the computer rewarded you with a loss. That is sorta funny


What are you plans with this legacy. Do you plan to leave the Tigers after a couple years and use Clark as your coach at another school or is the plan for Caoch Anderson to stay retired?
