Coaching Career of Dan Stone (CH 2K8)

[crayzman]

Been reading pretty much every College Hoops legacy on here while writing my NHL 08 dynasty and it really made me want to do my own since I have the game and it gives me something to do other than NHL 08 all the time (360 wise, not actually all the time, I have a life people :wink Anyways, it'll probably be pretty ugly at first until I find a format I like.

Difficulty: All-American (changed after Tulsa game)
Quarters: 16 minutes
Sliders: Heelfan's with a couple tweaks
Rules: Must recruit in-state with any small conference school. Once I get to mid-major I can recruit up to half of my recruits from any bordering states as well as in-state. Major all of my players can come from any bordering states. Power I can recruit nationally but half of my recruits must be from either in-state or a bordering state. This is all assuming I don't get fired from my first job.
Games: Playing all games.

25 Year Old Dan Stone Named New Head Coach of North Florida

Jacksonville, FL - The University of North Florida announced today that they've hired a 25 year old nobody named Dan Stone as their new head coach. When asked about his resume, he said bruntly, "I coached one of the top ranked high school teams in Canada for a few years and sent an application in when I heard that the coaching job was open here thanks to a friend of mine with connections to the school. I didn't expect to actually get the job, but here I am and my job is to try and build this school into a contender in our conference and hey, judging by a lot of your expressions it seems you guys think this is a joke. That's fine by me, guess that means no pressure from you and when I do succeed here I guess I'll be the one laughing at all of you."

Ospreys Lose Season Opener 76-55 to Maryland

As was pretty much expected, the North Florida Ospreys lost their O'Reilly Auto Parts CBE Classic tournament game against the Maryland Terrapins. They started off well actually, trailing by as few as three points with just minutes left in the 1st half but turnovers would allow the Terrapins to gain an 11 point lead going into the half and that pretty much sucked all the energy out of the Ospreys at the beginning of the 2nd half. North Florida's lack of a true big man really hurt them in this game as they would be out rebounded 33-25, but more importantly, the Terrapins would pull down 12 offensive boards to the Ospreys' 4. Maryland's 12 steals and 7 blocks didn't really help the Ospreys either. The Ospreys will be playing Tulsa who lost 72-66 to Hampton tomorrow in the consolation match.


North Florida Leaders:
Points: PF Justin Cecil - 14
Rebounds: PF Justin Cecil & C James Grimball - 7
Assists: PG Chris Timberlake - 2

Maryland Leaders:
Points: C Braxton Dupree - 16
Rebounds: C Bambale Osby - 7
Assists: PF James Gist - 5
