Re: Hoops Dynasty: Career of Hooper15c

This brings me to my 23rd season of coaching a Hoops Dynasty team within this Universe (What If Sports has multiple different worlds that you can take part in at one time). After long deliberation I have decided to leave the comforts of retirement and return to the coaching ranks and after searching all open jobs I found the one that fit me the best was Livingstone University in the CIAA. They return 3 Seniors, 1 Junior, and 3 Sophomores from a team that made it to the National Tournament each of the past 3 seasons (and out of the first round in 2 of them). I felt like it was the perfect opportunity to both find a place that would allow me to recruit talented kids all over the east coast but also compete right from the beginning at the national level.

The recruiting cycle went much better than I had expected after being away for so long. Of the original 8 players I had targeted, I was able to fill my 5 scholarships which include two nationally ranked players at their respective positions (Eugene Renosky and George Gross). Introducing these 5 talented players to the roster has really rounded it out and should provide me with the perfect combination to ensure that LU makes it back to the big dance.

My team will be led by the senior leadership of PG Russell Moe, SG Stephen Bradley, and SF Mack Goss. Moe is a freak of an athlete who has been predominantly used as a shutdown defender to this point in his career. As the starting PG we’re going to need him to improve his Assist numbers from his career 1.1 APG average. Bradley functions as a jack of all trades as he can be counted on to get key stops when we need them and knock down big shots with his above average outside jumper. Goss will have to carry the bulk of the scoring load for this team and should be able to greatly improve his 9.6 PPG average from last season.

The rest of the starting lineup will be filled out by Junior Benjamin Tatum at the PF position and Sophomore Arnold Davies playing Center. Tatum is the lone returning starter from last season but only had averages of 2.5 PPG and 5.3 RPG, both of which will need to be improved on this season as his supporting cast won’t be nearly as strong offensively as he had last season. Davies looks poised and ready to take full advantage of his increased role this season. His biggest weakness is on the defensive end, but he makes up for it in the post and on the glass. He played over 15 minutes per game as freshman last season and pulled in 4.2 RPG while scoring almost 2 PPG. His increased role should lead to both those averages improving.

Other players who will see increased responsibility are Sophomores Gary Woods and Ronald Smiley. Woods, who will function as the main backup to Bradley at SG, is a better pure shooter than Bradley but isn’t nearly as athletic or as good on the defensive end of the court. Those will improve as he gets older and more experience though. Smiley likely will get 6th man-type minutes as he will be the primary backup to both Tatum and Davies. I hope to run a 3 man cycle through those two positions as to not have to rely too heavily on incoming Freshman George Gross.

Speaking of the Freshman, all the eligible ones will see lots of playing time this season (William Saxton has been redshirted to both help even out classes and also thin the depth at the PG position). Renosky will serve as the main backup to Moe at PG, but Calvert will be nipping at his heels to get PT if Renosky starts to falter. Calvert comes into the fold as already the best perimeter shooter on the roster, once the rest of his skills develop, he’ll be a solid ace in the whole for the rest of his career. Thomas Dorazio will also see backup minutes as he will be called on when Goss needs a breather. Of course, since Goss will likely be called upon to do a large bulk of scoring, and is in the best shape of anyone on the team, Dorazio may not see more than 10 or so minutes per game. Finally Gross will be worked into the big man rotation as they need breaks and should fill in quite admirably. He is probably the one recruit with the most potential which is how he earned the ranking of a top 200 center in the nation for his recruiting class.

That’s how the team was set up for the exhibition games that took place yesterday and today. The first one saw us host N. Florida who was a national tournament team last season but lost a good chunk of their players to graduation so were merely a shell of their selves from last season and that showed in their performance. We jumped out to a 41-29 lead in the first half and never looked back as the 2nd half got even more out of hand with a final score of 92-61. We got 3 players into double figures as Goss finished with 29, Moe had 18, and Tatum had 17. There wasn’t much to complain about, but that issue of assists/turnovers I said needed to be improved upon by Moe turns out to be a team-wide issue as we had 13 assists and 15 turnovers for the game.

The 2nd and final exhibition game was against #15 ranked Minnesota, Crookston. They returned 5 seniors that have been to back-to-back national tournaments, including a trip to the Sweet 16 two seasons ago. This was a much more evenly contested matchup as we headed into halftime all knotted up 31-31. Through the first 7:30 of the 2nd half we had built a 12 pt lead and led 49-37, but that was when they woke up and slowly chipped away at my lead. By the 3:21 mark they converted an And-1 to take a 59-58 lead (their first lead of the 2nd half). That coincides with when the wheels sort of fell of for us as our next 5 possessions went Turnover, Turnover, Miss, Turnover, Miss. By that point they had a 63-58 lead with 1:34 left. After some back-and-forth it ends up as a 74-66 final, but the game was much closer than that final score showed. Goss finished with 26 pts and Moe contributed with 12. Again turnovers were an issue as we had 16 to go along with only 10 assists. Davies contributed the first 10+ rebounding performance of his career with 13.

Regular season starts tomorrow as Livingstone travels to Goldey-Beacom to take on a Sim AI (computer) coached team.

**I'm about halfway through the season at this point, but just wanted to get you caught up as best I could and will make each post as though each game is just taking place now**

Re: Hoops Dynasty: Career of Hooper15c

Livingstone (0-0) at Goldey-Beacom (0-0)

Opening night across the country and these young men are yearning to play in some games that actually matter and count towards the end goal of making it to the big dance. Goldey-Beacom returning 4 seniors and 3 sophomores from a team that went 7-20 last season. They have a very balanced scoring attack from their SG Small and big men Patton and Sims.

The game was for sure not the start I was hoping to see as I watched them jump out to an early 5-0 lead. They did a great job making us uncomfortable and about a half step off for most of the first half. They led all 20 minutes and were even able to push their lead to 8 on multiple occasions. Luckily right before the halftime buzzer we were able to cut their lead to 2 as Tatum hit a buzzer beater as the clock expired. So we went into halftime of our 1st official game of the season trailing 36-37. The shining star of that half had to be our leader Mack Goss who chipped in 20 pts to go along with 4 boards.

When the second half started, it went much more the way I expected the game to begin as we went on an 8-0 run to open and took our first lead of the game pushing it to 44-37, with 16 to play. GBU’s lack of conditioning and endurance started showing through as the 2nd half wore on as they just continued to lose ground and instead of clawing into the lead, they found themselves deeper and deeper into the hole. By the 10 minute mark they were trailing 57-45. They were never able to get it any closer than that as Moe was able to run out the clock at the end to cap off a 75-60 victory.

Up Next for LU: University of Indianapolis (1-0)
UI returns 4 seniors, 1 junior, and 5 sophomores from a 16-12 team. They picked up a win on opening night over Winston-Salem St by a score of 62-45 and look like they’ll be another team with very even scoring who play solid team defense. Going into this matchup I’ll be tweaking the offensive distribution numbers in order to try and get the ball inside to Tatum and Davies a little bit more and take some of the scoring burden off Goss as I can’t continue to ask him to shoot half of my team’s shots (12-22 and team was 27-49). Also will try to get Bradley and Woods more involved and get them some open looks from the perimeter as they went a combined 0-1 against GBU. There is no time to celebrate a game we were supposed to win as now we play a team that is, on paper, an even matchup for us.

Re: Hoops Dynasty: Career of Hooper15c

Livingstone (1-0) vs University of Indianapolis (1-0)

Going into this matchup I decided to adjust the distribution of the offense so that Goss wasn’t counted on to score 30+ points a game in order for us to win. Sadly, that’s what we would have needed this game. We came out of the gate sluggish and looked sort of like a bunch of giant turds playing out there. U of I jumped out to a 39-27 lead at half. The second half we resembled more of a polished turd, but a turd none-the-less. We ended up outscoring them in the 2nd half, but not by enough to pull off the victory as we fell to 1-1 with a 73-65 loss. Their starting SF went for 26 on 14-18 from the free throw line. We did manage to see a bit more balanced scoring as Goss and Tatum finished in double figures with Davies chipping in 9. We also had 15 assists compared to 14 TOs while forcing them to commit 17. So there were a few battles to be won, but sadly the war was lost.

Following that loss I decided to make some changes as I decided that Bradley, whom had been starting at SG, was a better candidate to play PG than Moe so I swapped them positions but left all other aspects the same. We were set to travel to play at Winona State who was also (0-2) but had a human coach so could be capable of almost anything.

Livingstone (1-1) @ Winona St (0-2)

This game we had a much better start. It was still a back-and-forth battle in the 1st and we were able to hold a 31-30 lead going into halftime. This was the first time since the first game that I felt like we were headed in the right direction. Of course as this team is teaching me, right about the time I start to get some confidence they just forget how to play the game and take a dump right on the court. They opened the second half on a sizeable run that pushed them out front by 8 pts and I was only able to cut it to 4 a few times the rest of the way as they ended up stealing their first win of the season by a score of 74-64. Goss was the leading scorer with 23.

Upon further review of the first 3 games of the season I have decided to make a major shakeup. Through 3 games Moe has averaged 5.3 pts, 2.3 rebs, 2.0 assists and 1.7 assists all in 27 minutes per game. That isn’t the sort of production I expect from a starter on a team that should have aspirations of making it to the big dance. So the decision has been made to give the reigns over to freshman Eugene Renosky. If you recall, he came in as the 192nd ranked PG of this current freshman class. Renosky has averaged 3 assists and 1.3 TOs per game in about 15 minutes. He is much more of the prototypical PG that I want but by starting him this early I’m giving up a great deal of defensive ability and athleticism. This move slots Moe in as the first guard off the bench where he should be able to provide us with a better scoring punch and generate more turnovers as he’s applying his defensive pressure against tired starters or 2nd string guys.

The first start of Renosky’s career will be tonight when we travel to play at University of the Sciences (yes, that is actually a school in Philadelphia, PA). They come into the game with a record of 1-1, their loss came to #20 Wayne State last night. So I’m in for what should be a good game, and one I hope to keep close to show that the roster changes have made a noticeable impact.

**Just to give you a look behind the curtain, here are the two players key attributes...

Player - Athleticism/Defense/Perimeter/Ball Handling/Passing
Moe - 83/88/48/65/39
Renosky - 28/32/51/65/57

Renosky has lots of room to grow in Defense, Perimeter, and has huge upside in Ball Handling. Depending how he does with this shot could determine how the rest of his career plays out as William Saxton who is redshirted this year has the potential to be as good across the board and a much better passer than Renosky. So this will determine how reluctant I am to give Saxton (38/16/61/44/52) a shot next season...

Re: Hoops Dynasty: Career of Hooper15c

Livingstone (1-2) @ U of the Sciences (1-1)

And so it begins, the hopefully long career of Eugene Renosky as a starting PG. Would the first game be a giant step in the right direction or would it be marred by freshman mistakes and overall issues. I’m just going to outline the first 1:07 of the game to give you an idea of which of those this game ended up being for Eugene. US won the tip, Eugene got called for a reach-in foul, they missed a 3, we got the board and Goss drilled a 3 (assisted by Eugene) to give us a 3-0 lead 58 seconds in. They run almost 20 seconds of offense and Eugene commits another reach-in foul, 2 fouls, 1 assist, 1:07 into his first start. He was then placed right on the bench until the 3:54 mark left in the half. Figure he could play smart and not foul the rest of the half. Less than 30 seconds later Eugene fouls their PG while shooting a jumpshot. So for the first half Renosky has played all of 1:37 in his first career start… To go along with his poor showing, we also were looking at a 41-30 deficit.

The second half started, with Eugene on the bench, and it was pretty much even when Eugene came back in 4 minutes into the half and us trailing 38-50. This time he managed to stay out there for all of 1:15 and miss one jumper before he committing his 4th foul of the game and burning a path right back to the bench. We were actually able to apply some pressure and cut the lead down to 59-53 when Renosky was reinserted back into the game with 7:36 remaining. He proceeded to get his 2nd assist of the game and immediate foul out with 6:41 left in the game. His final like was 4 minutes, 0 pts on 0-1 shooting, and 2 assists. I am quite pleased with his 2 assists as that is exactly what I want and need from my PG, and if he can stretch that into 20 minutes of action and end up with 10 assists, then he’ll fill the exact role that I need him in. They just played even with us the rest of the way and ended up making some free throws to seal a 74-64 victory against us.

Goss ended with 23 pts and 10 rebs, Tatum had 15 and 6, while Davies finished with 11 rebounds. We improved this game as we shot almost 44% from the field and 75% from the line, but 12 turnovers while only getting 11 assists (led by 3rd string PG freshman Larry Calvert who played 9 minutes and was credited with 3 assists).

There is no rest for the men as we play a home game against 3-1 Rollings University. This season of change isn’t done yet as I’ve made the change in defense from running a half-court pressure into a 2-3 to now we’re going to run a full court press all game long. This could be an issue given our current fouling troubles, but I feel like the team is most knowledgeable about running the press so we’d see a greater amount of benefits from our experienced players. Plus Renosky, who will remain in the starting lineup, is as bad as you can get at both defensive types so it’s not like he’ll be any worse playing the press…

Re: Hoops Dynasty: Career of Hooper15c

Livingstone vs Rollins

Rollins is a solid team on paper, despite being run by a Sim AI coach, and they proved to be just that as their guards started hot and stayed that way the entire game. This was a game that I left Renosky in the starting lineup and he ran into foul trouble as he only played a total of 9 minutes while racking up 4 fouls. The first half came to an end with Rollins clinging to a 44-40 lead. We were keeping it close and really just a couple bounces from finding ourselves in the driver’s seat. Sadly all the bounces went Rollins way in the 2nd half as they outscored me by 13 in the final 20 minutes to cruise to a 86-69 victory. Goss scored 25 in the loss as Livingstone dropped to 1-4 on the season with a battle at Western State coming up next.

Livingstone @ Western State

Renosky has been pulled from the starting lineup as a result of his lackluster play in the starting lineup. That is likely due to his lack of knowledge of the offense and defense that are leading to the numerous fouls when he’s matched up against the other teams top PG, so coming off the bench will suit him best until he gets a better understanding of running the triangle and press that we have adopted as our primary O and D. That puts Moe back in the starting lineup which I do reluctantly and he does a great job of proving that it likely isn’t deserved. Unlike the previous game, this time we hold a 30-29 lead heading into halftime and actually control the action most of the game. It’s back and forth the entire 2nd half and Bradley hits 2 FTs with 1:39 left in the game to give us a 4 pt lead. They drill a 3 with 58 seconds left to cut the lead to 1. Goss gets a decent look at the rim with 31 seconds left but misses his jumper and we’re unable to get an offensive rebound. They have the ball with 29 seconds left when they call a timeout, down by 1. Their possession takes about 24 seconds when with 5 seconds left they knock down the same jumper that Goss just missed. For our last possession Moe gets stripped and that’s how this one ends. Davies, Goss, and Tatum all scored in double figures with 15, 12, and 10 respectively. Moe finished the game shooting 1-3 with 4 TOs and 0 assists in 22 minutes (Renosky off the bench was 3-6 with 3 assists and 1 TO in 14 minutes). This loss dropped Livingstone to 1-5 and pushed the losing streak to 5 in a row. Next up on the schedule was Nebraska, Kearney at home. They were also a 1-5 team and didn’t have much going for them. Looked like just the game we needed to break out of our slump.

Livingstone vs Nebraska, Kearney

After that last game I decided to try a new arrangement of our starting lineup as I placed Bradley at the PG position and inserted Woods into the starting lineup at SG. This is a decision I immediately regret as Woods and Goss both get into foul trouble and Bradley really struggles the entire game at the PG position. So this went from a game that looked like it would be a great slump buster into one that looked like it would pour a giant bag of salt onto the wounds. They took a 34-28 lead into the half, but it was much worse than it looked as the foul trouble against Goss and Woods meant that I was playing with a short bench for much of the 2nd. The 1st half we were able to overcome the fouls in order to keep it close, the 2nd half we weren’t so lucky as they outscored us 39-23 in the 2nd to clinch a 73-51 victory. This was probably the most disappointing loss of the entire season as this opponent wasn’t very good and came into our gym and beat us, dropping our record to 1-6. As I look back I regret making the roster change as I feel like had I just kept the same lineup from the Western St game, we would have likely pulled off the W. Goss did manage to finish with 20 and Tatum contributed 11 in the losing effort. We are looking at back-to-back road games against very solid, human coached teams. Included in this mini roadtrip is a matchup against #21 Grand Canyon, however first up is W. Virginia St.

Livingstone @ W. Virginia St.

Going into this game we were an 8 pt underdog and given our recent showing I was actually pleased it wasn’t worse than that. I decided to give Renosky one more chance as a starter because I felt like he was starting to get the hang of things and this would likely be one of his last chances to impress me before I made him a backup the rest of the season. I feel like this team is a broken record that just continues playing bad songs as this game was so similar to the last 6 games as we just were sluggish and couldn’t seem to ever put any pressure on them as they jumped out to a 42-30 halftime lead. The 2nd half wasn’t any better as they outscored me 45-35 for the 87-65 victory. Goss, Bradley, and Renosky (he did play 20 minutes this game) all fouled out and as a team we committed 28 fouls compared to their 12 (this is a major issue with a general lack of knowledge about the defense we are running). Goss finished with 20, Tatum had 13, and Moe finished with 12 off the bench. The loss dropped us to 1-7 and looking squarely at a top 25 team when we travel to Grand Canyon.

Livingstone @ #24 Grand Canyon

Every single fear I had about this game going into it seemed to ring exactly true. I decided to keep Renosky in the starting lineup for this one as I figured we didn’t stand much of a chance either way and he could use the experience for future seasons. We found ourselves only trailing 40-30 after the first half, but they were just getting started as they came out in the 2nd half and just buried us. We were able to save some dignity at the end but the final score wasn’t pretty. Livingstone left with their tails between their legs after the 88-53 loss. Goss scored 17, Tatum had 14, and Davies finished with 10. This loss drops our record to 1-8 with 2 non-conference games remaining on the schedule and both games look winnable but this team has taught me to be pessimistic.

Livingstone vs Presbyterian

Yet another game we go into as the underdogs and to be honest, after these first 9 games I can’t blame anyone for not having any faith in us. This game marked Moe’s return to the starting lineup and I also decided to slow the game down a bit to hopefully mask some of our roster deficiencies. I also hope that by slowing the game down a bit, it will help cut back on the # of fouls we commit over the course of the game. Of course Presbyterian is unfazed by any of that as they cruise out to a 31-20 halftime lead. However, for the first time since I can remember we showed actual signs of life in the 2nd half. We actually won the 2nd half 31-30 and despite losing 61-51, this is the first time in a week that I’ve actually seen the team moving in the right direction and actually look pretty good. Goss finished with 23 and Tatum tossed in 12. The loss dropped us to 1-9, but I could sense the tides turning after that 2nd half and I didn’t realize how right I was…

Livingstone vs Nyack

This is another game we go into as the underdogs but like I said, I could sense something different with this group in the 2nd half of that last game. They show me that my feelings were correct as they jump all over Nyack in the 1st half and have a 31-18 lead heading into half. As I read the play-by-play I had to do a double take since I hadn’t had a sizeable halftime lead in what feels like an eternity. We keep the pressure on in the 2nd half and outscore them 33-26 to get the win by a final score of 64-44. Goss had 23 while Davies finished with 14 and 10 boards. Moe had 5 assists to go with 2 turnovers and Renosky had 3 assists off the bench. This win pushes the season record to 2-9 and wraps up the non-conference schedule. We open the conference schedule against Winston-Salem St. who has 1 win so far on the season and looks like it could be the start of our first winning streak of the season.

Livingstone vs Winston-Salem St.
This is the first time since the 2nd game of the season that I didn’t come into the game as an underdog (the spread was even). That roll that we’ve been on over the last 3 halves just keeps right on a rolling as we finally demolish a bad team the way we should have been doing all season long. We jump on them early and cruise into half with a 38-23 lead. This is the best I’ve been feeling about this team all season, and yes I realize it’s against likely the weakest team that we’ve played all year, and they do nothing to diminish those feelings in the 2nd half. The 2nd 20 minutes is even more domination than the 1st as we outscore them 36-19 and finish with a 74-42 victory. Goss, Davies, and Bradley all finish in double figures with 17, 13, and 12 respectively. This is the balanced scoring I’ve been tweaking and playing around with the team to achieve all season. We may have a better record had I let Goss go for 35+ a game, but I think that once we played any decent teams they would shut him down and my entire team would get rolled. This way we have Bradley, Goss, Tatum, and Davies who can all go for double figures at any time. The more balanced scoring I get, the more confident I get. This win boosts us to 3-9 (1-0) on the season and we travel to play N. Carolina Central, one of the human coached teams in the conference next.

Livingstone @ N. Carolina Central

Despite the 2 game winning streak, we still find ourselves as 3 pt underdogs entering this matchup. The guys just politely told the oddsmakers to get bent as they came out of the gate with guns blazing yet again as they jumped out to a 37-26 halftime lead. Despite a better showing in the second from NCC, we still managed to put more distance between ourselves and them, outscoring them 40-33 and win 77-59. Goss led all scorers with 23 and Bradley chipped in 11. Moe is still struggling with turnovers as he had 5 this game, but as long as he is able to lock down their starters on defense and Renosky is able to come off the bench and get assists (3 assists, 0 TOs this game) and not foul out we’ll be set. We currently sit at 4-9 (2-0) as we just had one of our two off days this past evening. Next up we travel to Bowie St who currently sits at 1-11 (0-2)

Re: Hoops Dynasty: Career of Hooper15c

Livingstone @ Bowie St

For the first time in about as long as I can remember we enter this game as the favorite, by 1 point. We go with the same starting lineup we have on this whole winning streak, Moe-Bradley-Goss-Tatum-Davies. We jump out to an early lead, but they keep it close for the first 12 minutes when they then take their first lead of the game 27-25. We keep it close, they push it to as many as 8 on two different occasions and lead by 6 heading into the half. We go back and forth early in the second but with 12:27 left they drill a 3 to take a 59-49 lead and this is about the time I start to get frustrated and panic that we won’t be able to claw our way back into this one. They have the last of their double digit lead at the 8:06 mark as they lead 68-58. From there they don’t score for 2 minutes and find themselves up by only 5 with 6 minutes left in the game. Over the next 2 minutes, there are lots of missed shots and turnovers by both teams, they manage to hit 1 FT but we answer that with a Gary Woods 3 to cut their lead to one. A steal by Goss who goes up court to Calvert for the layup to make it a 71-70 game with 3:55 left. Their next possession they turn the ball over again and Bradley proceeds to get fouled and drill 2 FTs to give us our first lead since the 8 minute mark of the 1st half. We push the lead to 76-71 with 1:51 left, but then they push back. They score on their next 3 possessions (which we in turn had 2 TOs and 1 missed jumper) to reclaim the lead with 23 seconds left 77-76. On our last chance possession they made the mistake of fouling one of my best FT shooters in Goss who calmly stepped to the line and drilled both FT with 18 seconds left. Their last possession went much like a lot of ours have this season, ending in a turnover and Goss ran the clock out of our 4th win in a row by a score of 78-77. Goss led all scorers with 26, Tatum, Moe, and Renosky all scored in double figures with 10 each. This win pushes our record on the season to 5-9 (3-0). Our next game is against the best team in the conference (RPI-wise) as Shaw comes to our house. We go into it as heavy underdogs, but hopefully can get a W and see a big jump in our RPI.

Re: Hoops Dynasty: Career of Hooper15c

Livingstone vs Shaw

We enter this game the same as we’ve entered so many other games this year, as heavy underdogs (16 pts to be exact). There is a reason for them being the heavy favorites, they had played a top 15 SOS and were in the 30’s of RPI. If the season ended right now, they’d be a shoe-in as an at large bid to the big dance. Their success to this point of the season can be almost completely contributed to the success of their 8 seniors, yes I said 8!!! They have gone 1-3 against top 25 teams this season and were 3-1 in conference play going into this matchup. With that little background, let’s get into the actual game. This matchup started much like you’d have expected it to as Shaw jumped out to a 17-7 lead 5 and a half minutes into the game. Just about this time is when our defense kicks into gear. Over the course of the next 6 minutes they only manage to score 2 points as I cut the lead down to 19-14 with 8:04 left in the half. Over the next few possessions we trade scores, but I’m able to slowly chip away at that lead and with 5:27 left in the half I take my first lead of the game by a score of 22-21 on a layup by Tatum. They manage to take the lead back on their next possession but Dorazio hits 2 FTs to reclaim the lead with 3:27 left and our defense shows up again as they are unable to score at all the rest of the half. Luckily their defense isn’t quite a stifling as we are able to go into the half with a very nice 33-23 lead.

At this point I’m almost giddy. As I’ve stated before, this team has turned me into quite the pessimist as I now am always just waiting for the opponent to go on a huge run that either cuts any and all of my lead or absolutely buries me and the rest of the game is sort of pointless. This game, it was us who would be doing the burying.

Shaw keeps it within 13-14 for the first 10 minutes of the second half. There is lots of back and forth play and at the 11 minute mark left to play we go on a run over the next 4 minutes to push the lead from 13 to 21 as Dorazio tipped in Davies miss to give us a 55-34 lead. Our lead stayed above 20 the rest of the way and we ended up sending Shaw on their way after handing them a 74-46 defeat. This has without a doubt been the biggest upset in conference play and the biggest win I’ve had since I’ve been at Livingstone. It didn’t do wonders for my RPI, but I’m at 204 so almost into the 100’s finally. We saw extremely balanced scoring this game as Goss was the only player to score in double figures with 26. This also marked one of the first games that we finished with an above 1 assist to turnover ratio as we had 16 assists compared to 10 turnovers, led by Renosky’s 5 assists and 0 turnovers. Next up we travel to Elizabeth City St who are currently 4-10 (1-3) and I go into it as a 2 point favorite.

In a perfect world both Fayetteville St (currently 9-5 with RPI of 36) and I will both win our next 4 games and have our first matchup of the season with identical 8-0 records within the conference. In the span of those 4 games I play 2 teams with winning overall records and both those teams have RPIs in the top 170 so winning those should also help bring my RPI to a much more respectable level. Looking at Livingstone’s history, they haven’t finished with an RPI outside the top 100 in 23 seasons although the following season back then they did end up with an RPI in the top 30 and then proceeded to make the Sweet 16 when they batch of freshman were seniors. So there is hope for the future of Livingstone as I start to instill my philosophy and get my guys into the program.

Re: Hoops Dynasty: Career of Hooper15c

Livingstone @ Elizabeth City St.

Here is some news that I can start to get used to more and more as I settle in as the head coach at Livingstone, we were favored heading into this matchup (by 2 pts). They sat at 4-10 and us 6-9 so it’s safe to say that despite the high expectations, and their low expectations, from before the season we both found ourselves in very similar positions heading into our first matchup of the season.

On paper, this game shouldn’t be close. We are a much better team than them in nearly all aspects and despite what the oddsmakers seemed to think, we were dead set on proving that against an inferior team. Despite jumping out to an early 9-2 lead, ECS fought back to cut it back to a 13-11 game 9 minutes in. However, starting with a Bradley tip in off a Tatum miss we went on a 9-0 run over the next 4:30 to take a 22-11 lead and finished out the half on an 11-4 run to take a 33-15 lead to the half. Odd note: neither team scored in the final 2 minutes of the half in which we only had 2 possessions (both ended in missed shots). This win, our 6th in a row, pushes us to a record of 7-9 (5-0).

The second half started with us pushing the lead to 44-24 a little over 3 minutes in. We then proceeded to do what we have made famous this year and that’s give up a sizeable run to the opponent as they cut that 20 pt lead with 17 minutes left in the game down to a 9 pt lead (47-38) with 12:39 left however right about this time is when Goss is reinserted into the game and that’s when the offense seems to find it’s spark and we are able to push the lead past the 20 pt mark again with 6:24 left (67-46). The game pretty much stayed at that difference the rest of the way and we ended up heading back home with a 79-59 victory. There was one point to touch upon in those closing minutes, Mack Goss left the game with an apparent wrist injury. It looked like it wouldn’t be extremely serious, and with a 20 pt lead he was pulled and didn’t return to action.

Goss led all scorers with 27 and Tatum contributed 12. Renosky, whom I’m still sold on as being an all-american before his time is done, finished with 7 pts, 4 assists, 0 turnovers, and a steal in 13 minutes of action off the bench. As a team we had 20 assists and only 7 turnovers (!!!) which is our best A:T ratio of the season and fewest TOs of any game this season.

It’s safe to say that so far this season out biggest weakness as a team was committing too many turnovers and having a general inability to set up the scoring play (evident by the lack of assists across the board). Both of those problems have been getting progressively better over our current 6 game winning streak as we’ve only had 2 games with fewer assists than turnovers over that stretch, compared to only 2 games with more assists through the first 10 games. Another issue early in the season was foul trouble. During our 2-9 nonconference schedule there were only 4 games that we committed less than 20 fouls, and only 1 where we committed less than 15. Compare that to our current 6 game winning streak (1 game shared) where we haven’t committed over 17 and less than 15 three times. It’s an issue I attribute to playing so many underclassmen who didn’t have a great knowledge of the offense and defense.

I don’t think anyone exhibits the importance of understanding the offense and defense quite like my current favorite freshman, Eugene Renosky. He had 2.0 PPG and 1.9 APG to go along with 1.1 TOG and 2.6 fouls per game during those first 10 games (1-9) of which he started 4 (having fouled out in 3 of them and getting 4 fouls in that other start). These past 6 games he has 7.0 PPG and 3.2 APG with a measly .7 TOG and 1.5 fouls. To say that I am expecting those numbers to not only be maintained for the remainder of the season would be an understatement. I am expecting Eugene’s production to continue to improve and be ready to step into that starting role by the time next season rolls around and Moe is off working in the real world.

Re: Hoops Dynasty: Career of Hooper15c

Livingstone @ Virginia St

We were feeling pretty good coming into this one riding a 6 game winning streak and our underclassmen were starting to really find themselves. Of course, what happens to everyone when they start to get a little bit too big for their britches, they get knocked down a few pegs. It took playing against another human coach for that to happen to me. (It also didn’t help that Goss wasn’t playing at 100%, which is never good considering he is currently averaging over 25 PPG for us).

This game was a back and forth battle for the entire first half. They led by as many as 5 at one point and I was never able to build a lead bigger than 2 over the course of the first 20 minutes and they hit a buzzer beating jumper to tie the game at 30. The second half was much the same, except this time it was me who was able to build a slight lead as I had taken a 6 pt advantage through the first 6:30 of the half, leading 41-35. They were able to battle right back and reclaim the lead 50-49 with 8:15 left. They held a 3 pt lead for the next 5 minutes or so until I cut it to 1 (60-59) with 3:30 left in the game. Sadly that was as close as I was going to get as they were able to make the majority of their FTs down the stretch and they claimed a 74-68 victory, that was actually much closer than the score indicated.

Goss, Moe, and Davies all finished in double figures with 17, 12, and 11 respectively. On a bright note, we shot 19-20 from the line, but we committed 26 fouls and had only 10 assists compared to 14 turnovers. I think those are going to be the two most important things to our success for the rest of this season, keeping fouls down and having more assists than turnovers.

Instead of dwelling on the loss too much, I decided to turn my gaze to the future and consider how the team will look next season (I already have my top recruiting targets picked out, but I’ll save divulging in those details until we get into the national tournament since I’m sure I’ll have a few days off then to go into depth on each player). As it stands right now, here is how I see my starting lineup shaking out come our first exhibition game next year: Renosky at the 1, Calvert at the 2, Dorazio the 3, Tatum the 4, and Davies rounding it out as the 5. Saxton (currently red shirted) and Woods will serve as the primary backups to the guard spots while Gross serves as the main backup for the bigs. So as that stands we’ll be starting 1 senior, 1 junior, and 3 sophomores with the 3 main guys off the bench being a junior, sophomore, and a redshirt freshman. At first glance that amount of youth gives me reason to worry, but I think the team will be much more balanced than they have been this season. Davies, Tatum, and Gross will be my primary scorers while Calvert, Woods, Saxton, and Renosky will have to be counted on to knock down shots from the perimeter when they get a good look. My biggest weakness will be Dorazio stepping in as the starting SF. He has been largely untested this season serving as Goss’ backup, only getting about 11 minutes a game, scoring 1.2 PPG and pulling in 1.8 RPG. I think looking far down the road, my goal for this season is getting my RPI into the 150’s, next season an RPI in the top 80, and by the time Renosky and the guys are Juniors I’d expect to be a perennial top 25 team who is competing for births in the Final Four, Elite Eight, etc.

Livingstone vs Johnson C. Smith

All it took was one loss before the oddsmakers were once again throwing us to the wolves, so to speak, and making us the role we’ve grown accustomed to this season, the underdog (by 1 pt). Johnson C. Smith entered this matchup with a 9-8 (3-4) record and this is the first of our two matchups with them this season and they were tied for 3rd in our division coming into this matchup. This will be our first game following a loss since our giant 9 game losing during the non-conference schedule. So to say I was nervous how the guys would react to that little bit on info would be an understatement.

We started the game a little slower than usual as we found ourselves in a 5-2 hole 1:30 into the action, but then Bradley drilled a 3, Tatum blocked a shot and took it coast to coast for the lay-in to give us a 7-5 advantage 2:22 in. We rallied off 5 more points to push our mini-run to 10-0 and take a 12-5 lead. They were able to cut it to 15-13 halfway through the first and we answered that with a 8-2 run to push the lead back up to 8 pts. We continued to push the lead as the first half wound to a close and took a 37-23 lead into the break led by Goss’ 11 pts and 5 reb in. The second half was much the same as they were never able to claw their way back into it and as the game went on they just found themselves in a deeper, and deeper hole. The final score ended up being 84-54 and Livingstone improved to 8-10 (6-1) and have one game to go before they face Fayetteville St (currently hold a 1 game lead for the division) for the first time this season. Goss led all scorers with 27 pts. Tatum contributed 13 and as a team we had 12 assists compared to 11 turnovers and only 15 total fouls.

Re: Hoops Dynasty: Career of Hooper15c

Livingstone vs N. Carolina Central

With this being the game before what appears to be our biggest game of the season to this point, it was important to not overlook this team. We have beaten them earlier in the season at their place by a score of 77-59. In all honesty, they haven’t improved by much and this game should be an easy win assuming we focus and just get the job done. We do just that as we jump out to an early lead and continue to push the lead through the entire first half as we take a 36-24 lead into the break. The second half goes almost exactly as the first half went, just with more scoring from both sides as we outscored them in the second half by that same 12 pt margin to win the game 82-58. Goss and Davies were the leading scorers with 24 and 16 respectively. It also should be noted that we had 12 assists compared to 9 turnovers and only 14 fouls.

This win set up our matchup with the current leader in the clubhouse, Fayetteville State. A win pushes us into the lead in the division and a loss almost assuredly means we’ll wind up as the #2 seed from our division when the conference tournament rolls around.

Livingstone @ Fayetteville St

Coming into this game it’s only the second time since the conference schedule started that we’ve been a double digit underdog. They were favored by 10 pts, only other time was against Shaw who was favored by 16, and their team absolutely looked the part and had an RPI of 31 to show for it. They enter with a record of 13-8 (8-0) and at this stage are an absolute lock to make the national tournament as an at large bid, if they get upset in the conference tournament. The first half starts out as a slugfest as we just exchange blows and I lead for the majority of the first 15 minutes and push the lead to as many as 5. However just about that time they go on an 11-0 run to take a 6 pt lead and end up taking a 7 pt lead, 32-25, into the half. It’s quite disappointing that we had them on the ropes, up by 5 but just went through such a cold streak that we were unable to maintain any sort of lead and actually were on the verge of being put out to pasture before the first half ended. That was the type of cold streak we couldn’t afford against a team like this.

The second half continued just as the first half ended as they pushed their lead to as many as 15, 45-30, 3 minutes into the half. It’s about this stage where I expect the guys to absolutely fold and pack it up and just settle for 2nd in the division. But that isn’t what happens, we go over a stretch over the next 9 minutes where we only allow them to score 3 pts and cut that 15 pt lead back to a 48-45 game with 8 minutes left. They are able to keep about a 5-7 pt lead for the next 6 minutes until with 2:04 we are able to get it back to 3 pts when Tatum converts a 3 pt play. However we were never able to get over the hump and reclaim the lead as they made their FTs and we weren’t able to hit any 3s to make up for the difference as they ended up with a 73-63 victory. Despite the double digit loss, I think it’s safe to say this game was much closer than that and we’re not as far from the top of the mountain as some would have guessed after that 1-9 start to the season.

They did an amazing job of really limiting what Goss was able to do as he was held to his lowest pt total in recent memory with only 14 and Tatum contributed with 11. As a team we ended with 9 assists to 12 turnovers and a total of 21 fouls which were bloated by the fact we were trailing late and had to foul to force them into shooting FTs. This loss drops us to 9-11 (7-2) and puts our RPI at 179. We have 6 more games and one off day before we get a rematch against the guys of Fayetteville St on our home court. Hopefully we’ll win out the rest of the way and end up with an RPI in the 140-150s by the time that matchup gets here and a win could bump us into the low 130s.

Re: Hoops Dynasty: Career of Hooper15c

Updated most of the games with box scores. Sadly since I'm doing them after the fact, they show my current W/L record. The only ones I haven't done are while I was on vacation over Thanksgiving and compiled them all into one because IE keeps crashing (no wonder I stick with Google Chrome).
