Go to the GameOn Facebook page, it worked there for me. I couldn't get the link FlamesNation shared either.

He'd have to have a fairly deep run in the NCAA Tourney to get any notice at all. He's doing a great job, but let's not get carried away here.

If we win the BSC we would no doubt be a 16 seed. A first round win would be historic, and would be more than enough to get national attention.

The team would absolutely get attention, but for the coach to be a candidate for national coach of the year? I think not.

COY awards are less about accomplishments than they are about exceeding expectations. When expectations are zero, you have a head start on everyone.

Having said that, I don't think Ritchie is a shoo-in for the BSC award yet. McDevett at UNCA will get votes of they win the conference.

We have a legit shot to win the league. Unca coastal and Winthrop will all be beating up on each other. If we finish 4 and 1 we will finish no worse than second and Ritchie will lock up coach of the year. Saturday is such a huge game because the Asheville road game will be a heavy underdog in that one.
