Subject: Re: Don't most schools look for a coach that wins? Author: Sac MAN [ Next Thread | Previous Thread | Next Message | Previous Message ] Date Posted: 15:27:45 03/31/05 Thu In reply to: Josh 's message, "Don't most schools look for a coach that wins?" on 11:29:19 03/31/05 Thu If anybody in the SAC conference is in line for the OCU job it will be BOB BATTISTI FROM NWOSU. The President of OCU was the pres at NWOSU. The two were close and i think McDaniels would hire him anywhere [ Next Thread | Previous Thread | Next Message | Previous Message ]

[> Subject: Like I said at the NAIABasketball.net website Author: Tim Buck 2 [ Edit | View ] Date Posted: 16:29:18 04/01/05 Fri If Battisti is hired watch OCU become a middle of the road team within the next few years. Here is a coach that likes to slow down his offense eventhough he has the horses to get up and down the court everynight. And what has he EVER done at the National Tournament? OCU has one of the top 3 strongest reputations in the NAIA and their AD and President are going to go after a guy like this. I know that the President use to be at NWOSU but that doesn't mean that he has to bring a guy who has a career mark of 317-226 (.584 winning percentage) career record in his 18 years at the college. This job will be a make or break move for this athletic department which has been flirting with the move to the Division I level. OCU basketball has been down for some time now, and they have to get a proven winner that will raise money, recruit the top players like they use to have and get more fans interested. It would be nice if this coach was a young up and comer with no ties to the SAC. [ Post a Reply to This Message ]

[> [> [> Subject: Welcome to Comedy Central Author: Tim Buck 2 [ Edit | View ] Date Posted: 16:38:31 04/02/05 Sat You have got to be kidding me that Big Game Bostwick would even have someone (or himself) get on this board to pimp himself up. We are talking about trying to fill the HEAD COACHING position at OCU not the assistant's position that orders the pizza at the end of the games and walks behind the bench during timeouts to bag popcorn for the fans. “Bootlick” is a great guy but way, way, way out of his league to even be brought up on this board for that position. I imagine that OCU would welcome his application so he can add to the increasing amount of applicant's who want this job. By the way, tell Battisti that this is a Christian university and his antics on the sidelines would never be allowed at OCU. His four letter verbal assaults on other opposing player’s (Leonard Mosley) and 18 points per half average would never attract the kids from around the hood. He needs to realize that he is 3 years away from his retirement and he can save his embarrassment from being rejected from this job for the second time. [ Post a Reply to This Message ]

[> [> [> [> [> Subject: Re: Comedy Central is right Author: The late Mitch Hedburg [ Edit | View ] Date Posted: 07:36:05 04/04/05 Mon Alert to Tim Buck 2: OCU already IS a middle-of-the-road NAIA institution. Prez Mc Daniel and his crew have turned 23rd and Blackwelder into Northwestern on Crack Street and whomever they hire will be more of the same. Just like SNU, OBU, OC, etc., nobody outside the alumni base knows the schools exist. Unlike, SNU, OBU, OC, etc, none of the OCU alumni care, either. [ Post a Reply to This Message ]
