Seems like they geared up for football. The basketball transition has been a disaster.

Originally posted by Columbuseer View PostExpect the Unexpected with Frostburg basketball
In the Jan game at West liberty, we witnessed the appearance of the Frostburg mystery guest, when their player committed a foul. One problem: he wasn't listed in the scorebook. Admin technical foul.
Last night at Frostburg, the half ended with WL leading 59-43.
With 5 minutes left in the 15 min. Intermission, WL returned to the floor to warm up.
The rack of Frostburg basketballs stood alone at the opposite end of the floor, waiting loyally for the loving hands of the home team. Two minutes remained and the rack remained untouched.
The buzzer signals 0:00 and WL proceeds to the center circle... And waits. They make small talk with the officials. Everyone is perplexed. Where is Frostburg?
1. Did they take a wrong turn out of the locker room and get lost? Nah, this is their home court.
2. Did their coach go to the William Jennings Bryan school of oratory? Nah, every coach would have run out of mindless cliches by now.
3. Did they all get glucose IVs to get energy for the 2nd half?
4. I considered bizarre X Files alternatives. I imagined the announcer saying:
" The team won't be returning due to the onset of the Rapture. For those of you still in the gym, I have some bad news... "
After about 3 or 4 minutes, a few players straggled out. Soon a couple of more, still tucking in their shirts, likely from the potty break. Finally, the coach arrived and called time out before the second half started! He still got an admin technical. So we ended the half with 59 and started the second half with 60 points.
Whatever he said, it just didn't take. WL forced 30 turnovers and won 117-74.
Frostburg had no warm-up and no answer for WL!

If your team:Would your team likely:
A. Win the game
B. Lose a close game
C. Lose by 31 points
If you answered A, you would likely be correct,
You were playing West Liberty when they are on their game.
In that case, the correct answer is C.
You lose by 31 when: Final score WL 111-Glenville State 80

Joe is 50-5 with Chucky.
I'll leave it at that ...
Edit: Joe's actually 50-4 with Chucky dressed. Not a math major ... but most can do that math.

I'm still serious ... I'd have called a 30-second timeout and literally canned their coach in the first half of the last game.
And during his post-game presser after Charleston, Howlett was asked about getting ready for Glenville. One of the reporters mentioned something about Glenville wanting to run with WLU. Maybe it's just me, but it sure looked like Howlett was suppressing a smile while he answered the question. He gave a typical low-key Howlett response to the effect of "We'll run with anybody; that's the kind of thing we're built for." But it sure seemed like he was working to suppress a smile while offering his answer. I'd guess they LOVE the Glenville games every year.

Blocking the scolly was only a temporary condition. We picked off James Griffin who it turned out was every bit as good as Chucky. Chucky has not lived up to his hype...not even close.
