oyce comes to WNCC with an impressive track record. On the court, he served has only the third head coach in NJC history, guiding them to a 97-38 record, including a national tournament berths in 2000 and 2005. His teams were ranked six of seven years in the top 20, and received Street and Smith’s Magazine top 15 rankings in three of the last five years.
He has also proven himself as a top recruiter. At Colorado State last season, he helped sign two junior college all-Americans, a commitment from Mr. Basketball finalist in Colorado, and two players the from No. 4-ranked junior college team in the nation. He has also sent 32 players onto Division I schools and 18 of his players have been starters at the Division I level.
Off the court, his resume is just as impressive. He has had four academic all-Americans and 31 of 33 sophomores have graduated with an associate’s degree.
“I am in this profession because I think you can utilize this game to impact their lives,” Joyce said. “I know that it is a cliché that a lot of people use, but my track record speaks for itself with the loyalty I have from past players. I was fortunate to be under some older coaches along the way that helped me understand the true root of teaching and how coaching fits into that.

I don't see what's so bad about bringing in this guy. Brings recruiting connections from the midwest, head coaching experience with a good record, and familiarity with Layer.

flames1971 wrote:...maybe now we can get players past the state of TexasJust thought I'd mention that Texas extends further west than Fort Collins, CO (home of Colorado State) and Alliance, Nebraska (home of Western Nebraska CC). They probably don't teach that in geography class in NC junior high schools.
Joyce was a first team all-state selection for La Cueva High in Albuquerque, N.M., where he led his team to a state championship.http://wncccougarathletics.blogspot.com ... tball.html
He followed that up with two outstanding years at Northeastern Junior College, where he played for the legendary Lowell Roumph from 1991-93. During those years, he scored 801 points and made 108 3-pointers. He was also the school record holder for assists and steals, helping the Plainsmen to 43 wins in two seasons.
After that he played at Idaho State University for one year before transferring to Oklahoma Christian University, where he was nationally ranked in assists, 3-point shooting and free throw shooting.

If this was for the #1 assistant position I'd agree with you...however at a BSC not being the #1 this is to be expected. You're looking at people like Juice who has no coaching experience however could produce a big man every 6 years and this guy....keep in mind this route is what produced Jason Eaker who has proven to be a tremendous recruiter just young...and that's worked out great for use producing a ton of these players we're winning with.
