Let me finish that thought as I hit the send button too quickly. At the same time a school like GW needed to schedule a bit harder than us b/c they stood to benefit from it by season's end. Each team should schedule based on their perceived ability, not based on some flat guideline. -- Fordham Rams Basketball Message Board

In reply to: J�Dete93 's message, "The key to me is that the guideline should be on a sliding scale based on a team's ability. For instance, this year with only a very slim chance of post-season we should have scheduled a bit easier. The conference would have benefitted more from us going 6-5 OOC with a weaker SOS than they did with us going 4-7 with a SOS of about 60." on Mon March 14, 2005 13:49:20

That makes sense. Has the A-10 had hard and fast OOC scheduling guidelines? (NT) -- Rambacker, Mon March 14, 2005 14:52:47
- From what I have been told they have a rule that is fairly strict and if you fail to reach their guideline you are subject to fines. I do not have the details, but each opponent gets assigned a point value based on the RPI range they fall into and if your opponents total more than a certain number then you have failed to schedule as the A-10 wants you to. I am not saying that this was his brainchild, but this sounds very John Chaney-esque to me. (NT) -- J�Dete93, Mon March 14, 2005 16:07:31
