I wonder if Foreman is hurt or ill as she was a DNP. HC shot poorly, but dominated the boards 54-35 & only 10 turnovers

Better than close 23/77=29.9%.

Better than close 23/77=29.9%. Not when you made the comment that HC shooting had to have been under 30% - then it was just 1% higher than 30%.

So many short shots...so many misses Really remarkable how many bunnies HC has missed today Munt and Huber 0-14.

Sometimes they missed them in pairs (shot, rebound and put back)...certainly disappointing. Good news is they kept their cool and steadily took over (until the mass substitutions at the end)

It looks like the ACC network is part of the ESPN family because when you click on the live video link on the HC website it brings you to ESPN. The early start means it might be one of those games with a couple of thousand screaming school kids.

Early start and local opponent probably to facilitate people getting home for T-Day if they can.

You can't argue with 3-1 can you?

It was...according to the live stats. If they were incorrect it would not be the first time.

That’s two sloppy performances this past week and not the way to get ready for BC (Wed at noon) - the Eagles are vulnerable this year and we should be competitive

I expect that BC will pack the middle and let HC try & beat them from outside, much like CT did with great success for most of the first half. Flanagan, Donnelly & Berger have really impressed so far, but we need some folks other than BPC to start hitting 3s

As MM said at halftime, she wants to get the ball inside against the zone. Definitely better in the 2nd half. I like the wins, not surprised by the play, a lot of newcomers and new responsibilities across the board

Maybe the NESCAC WBB >Patriot League?

Maybe the NESCAC WBB >Patriot League? That is absurd. No one, except possibly you, would suggest that. No NEXCAC coach would say that privately.

You don't pay to go to Connecticut College over a free ride to a PL school. There isn't an academic or prestige premium at C.C. to justify that. Although I am sure it is a fine institution.

I don't know about now, but I would say 3-4 years ago that the coaching in the NESCAC was better then the Patriot overall.

Connecticut College finished 4-17 and 2-6 in the NESCAC last season finishing in ninth place. Amherst went to the NCAA Final Four and didn't even win the NESCAC regular season or postseason title.

Over the last few years, both Williams & Tufts would have been competitive in any number of leagues - the rest maybe not so much.

Amherst, Tufts, Bowdoin.

I don't know about now, but I would say 3-4 years ago that the coaching in the NESCAC was better then the Patriot overall. Is that because the overall compensation package including pay, pressure, work load, benefits and job security was higher than in the PL? Or is it an example of an inefficient market which would allow for a sharp low D-1 AD to find better coaches in lower divisions instead of among the usual suspects of D-1 Assistants and retread head coaches?

That's complicated, Longsuffering. Some random thoughts:
I think the coaches in the NESCAC are at 100k or higher money-wise, so not a huge gap frankly.
I don't think D3 jobs are any more or less secure than D1. One could make the case they are less secure since most D3s don't work with multi-year contracts.
The work load for D3 folks is probably higher than D1 folks considering the difference in both staffing and department-wide support for all aspects of program functions at the D1 level.
I think if the primary focus of D1 hiring, specifically for ADs in the patriot league, was just to hire the best coach they could find then coaching leadership would look very different. There are a multitude of factors at play for hiring coaches and higher ed has its own view of what's important in a hire too. My guess is this is probably frustrating to some ADs but they have their own job security to worry about.
