Coaching Career of Bob Knight (no, not THAT Bob Knight) - ch2k8 (ps2)

[doncoryell]

VIRGINIA MILITARY INSTITUTE


Lexington, VA - A surprise press conference today by the AD of VMI was to announce the resignation of basketball coach Dugger Baucom. Coach Baucom decided to persue other things and wished the team and school well. The Athletic Director then announced the hiring of Bob Knight, a successful coach in the high school ranks, to be the next head basketball coach of the Keydets. The members got excited, and confused, that Bob Knight would leave Texas Tech to be coach of the much smaller school. Unfortunately, it was not THAT Bob Knight that was arriving.


(note: Army was available but I decided to try a different military team)

Re: Coaching Career of Bob Knight (no, not THAT Bob Knight) - ch2k8 (ps2)

The day has finally come and new coach Bob Knight saw what the players had during their annual first practice that is on the day known as Midnight Madness.

"This team has a bunch of good to great shooters who can put up long range shots at a whim." Coach Knight stated. "However, the players don't play defense all that well and that will probably lead to a lot of shootouts. I hope that we have enough lights in storage for the scoreboard because we will certainly keep the scorer busy."

Starting Five

PG  Adam Lonon
SG  Chavis Holmes

PF  Quinn Brownfield

As well as the top 25, I will be trying to follow the other coaches' schools that are being journaled. When the coaches change their schools, I will start following the new schools.

As an added treat to you readers, I will also follow your favorites as well. Please let me know which ones they are. I will start with the avatar as a starting point (that is, if there is a school logo there).

Re: Coaching Career of Bob Knight (no, not THAT Bob Knight) - ch2k8 (ps2)

(note: Army was available but I decided to try a different military team)

I'm wondering why VMI (and Army) are available? Are you using a roster file in which changes were made to player ratings?
