Big shoes to fill Both Cowboys, Cowgirls looking for answers in the post By SCOTT NULPH

University of Wyoming men’s basketball coach Larry Shyatt sees a lot of Larry Nance in his son, Larry Nance Jr. Shyatt remembers the elder Nance as being a hard working, humble player who was a late bloomer in college who went on to a solid NBA career. “Junior inherited those traits,” Shyatt said of Nance’s father. “He doesn’t like the limelight sometimes, but he’s going to step in to a new role this year. Not only a leadership role, but perhaps a scoring role.” Wyoming will need more this season from Nance with the loss of Leonard Washington to graduation. Over on the Wyoming women’s side, the losses in the post are even more profound. Gone are threeyear starter Chaundra Sewell and two-year starter Ashley Sickles. Those two made up almost all of

the Cowgirls’ inside presence last season. “It’s going to be very difficult to replace Chaundra, a first-team all-conference pick, an honorable mention All-American pick who led us in scoring and rebounding,” UW coach Joe Legerski said. “We’re looking right now at players who played last season a total of 55 minutes out of 6,400 in the season. That’s less than one percent. “It’s going to be a learning process for our players on the inside.”

Nance’s year Nance stepped into the starting lineup last year as a sophomore and was productive for the Cowboys. The 6-foot-8, 225-pound forward averaged 10.7 points and 6.9 rebounds while playing 32 minutes a game. Nance also shot 53.3 percent from the field and 75 percent from the free throw line.

WYOMING COWBOYS 2013-14 But that came with playing alongside Washington, who drew most of the defensive coverage from the opposition down low. Now it’s Nance’s turn to feel that pressure. “I can’t wait,” Nance said with a big smile. “That’s added incentive to beat that team that is trying to stop me. It’s not just scoring. If I can get these guys (his teammates) points, that’s just as good as getting a basket myself.” Nance won’t be all alone battling down low for the Pokes this season. Six-foot-nine junior Derek Cooke Jr. was one of Wyoming’s top players off the bench a year ago while 6-10 junior Matt Sellers saw playing time when Washington was out with an injury late in the year. Cooke averaged 13 minutes, 3.1 points and 3.8 rebounds a game. Sophomore Austin Haldorson (68) will also be in the mix this fall, along with newcomer Alan Herndon (6-9). “We have a lot of competition going on with our bigs,” Nance said. “When teams do try to stop me like they did with Leonard last year, that leaves opportunities for Derek, Matt, Austin or whoever may be playing that other spot in the post. “As practice goes, on we will learn our spots when each person has the ball.” Shyatt likes his post depth this season. And he likes being able to turn to a talent like Nance. “He’s got the ability to take over games,” Shyatt said. “There are not a lot of guys that are juniors right now in the nation that threw up 11 points and seven rebounds a game last year. I think he would want more and we want more.”

Post by committee While the Cowboys do have experience returning in the post, the Cowgirls do not. As Legerski mentioned, of Wyoming’s inside players this season, only 6-1 junior Jordan Sibrel (32 minutes) and 6-2 sophomore Whitney Gordon (25 minutes) saw any playing time last season. Joining that mix this season will be 6-4 freshman Kaylie Rader and the return from injury of 6-6 sophomore Fatima Thiam. Last year, the Cowgirls knew they’d get around 70 minutes of playing time between Sewell and

Wyoming senior Fallon Lewis will take over one starting forward spot this season. JEREMY MARTIN/WyoSports photographer

Sickles. UW will get that much again, they just don’t exactly know who will get the minutes. “Right now, that’s the biggest question mark on the team: Who’s going to step up and separate themselves from the other players,” Legerski said. “The players that are able to separate themselves with their offense and defense and overall play will get the majority of minutes.” Sibrel brings the most experience. The Loveland, Colo., native also played in 16 games as a freshman. “She’s had a couple years to learn and now it’s her time to step on

the floor,” Legerski said. “Jordan’s confidence continues to grow in practice.” Gordon spent all of last season playing behind and practicing against Sewell and Sickles. She hopes to turn that experience into playing time this season. “It was awesome getting to guard Chaundra every day and growing as a person and a player, seeing how she does things and how hard she works every day in practice,” Gordon said. “I learned that how they played is something I still need to build up to. I’m not there yet, but my goal is to be a ‘Chaundra’ one day.”

Rader brings a different dimension to the post for the Cowgirls. At 6-4 and a more physical presence than recent posts, Rader’s game is more around the basket than out at the three-point line. “Kaylie possesses a skill set where she can shoot the basketball and she has great hands,” Legerski said. “Her size is a benefit to our program. We don’t have a lot of players in the 6-3, 6-4 range, so that helps us. She’s starting to understand our offense. She’ll be a contributor.” UW will also have 6-foot senior Fallon Lewis to help out inside while taking over a forward position.


Pushing the tempo UW wants to be faster on offense this season

By ROBERT GAGLIARDI [email protected]

Work the shot clock, try to get the ball inside, and, if not, shoot a 3-point or perimeter shot. That summed up the University of Wyoming men’s basketball team’s offense last season and much of 2011-12. But that’s about to change. Coach Larry Shyatt wants to play faster. He wants his team to take open and good shots early in the shot clock. He also wants his players to drive to the basket and get to the free-throw line more. If there are

opportunities to get the ball inside to a post player, that’s great. But Shyatt knows pushing the tempo offensively best fits this team’s personnel. First, that’s because UW is guardheavy, and most of its proven and most experienced guys play in the front court. Second, the Cowboys don’t have a proven 1-2 punch inside. Last season, it was Leonard Washington and Larry Nance Jr., but Washington was a senior. It wasn’t like the slow-it-down philosophy didn’t work. UW won 21 games in 2011-12 and 20 games

last season, and both resulted in appearances in the College Basketball Invitational. It averaged 62.7 and 61 points per game, respectively, during those seasons. UW also was among the nation’s best scoring defenses and it also averaged fewer than 12 turnovers per game. Shyatt said this season’s Cowboys have been turning it over more in practice by playing a faster and more aggressive style. “If I have to, I will slow them down at a later date,” he said. “But right PageI 6don’t Laramie now, wantBoomerang to take away that

attacking mentality. “Lucky and bad shots often go in, but nothing good happens with a turnover. But these guys do care enough about making the extra pass, being unselfish and making good decisions, and I am hopeful that will be the case come game time.” The players like the new style of play, especially the guards. “This is definitely going to be a strength of our team, and doing it more often is definitely going to be a plus,” sophomore Josh Adams said. The 6-foot-2 Adams said driving Wyoming Basketball Previe to the basket has been a strength

WYOMING COWBOYS 2013-14 of his game since he was in high school. He is UW’s second-leading returning scorer at 6.6 points per game. Senior Nathan Sobey, one of two seniors on the roster this season, also said that style of play should be a strength of his game. But whether it is him, Adams or others, it should lead to more offensive options. Sobey made 41.9 percent of his 3-point shots last season, and sophomore guard Riley Grabau made 32.3 percent. The Cowboys added size in 6-4 junior Charles Hankerson Jr., a transfer from Alabama, and 6-4 senior Jerron Granberry, who transferred from North Florida and can play immediately. Granberry is North Florida’s career leader in 3-point shots made and attempted. But the guards shouldn’t be the only ones who benefit from this. Nance is the Cowboys’ top returning scorer (10.7 ppg) and rebounder (6.9 rpg). He and UW’s other post players could benefit from a lot of drop-down

passes from the guards if defenses collapse on them in the paint. UW’s post players also are good passers to kick the ball out to guys open along the perimeter, and they all have been working on their mid-range and perimeter shooting, where guards can kick the ball out to them for a 15- to 18-foot jumper. “Pushing the ball down the court and being able to take a shot and not worry where the shot clock is — that’s exciting,” Nance said. “There were some open shots passed up in the past. This is going to fit all of us. We want to put some points on the board.” Shyatt doesn’t want UW’s new offense to take away from what it does defensively. If that happens, Shyatt could change his mind quickly. But even though Shyatt said this offense may cause him and his coaching staff to get more gray hairs until they are more comfortable, he’s willing to live with it if he sees more points on the Wyoming Senior Riley Grabau is part of a solid backcourt for the Pokes. scoreboard.

A friendship rekindled

Wyoming brings together best friends Granberry, Hankerson


Peaches & Herb released a song in the late 1970s called “Reunited.” It’s a good way to describe the relationship between University of Wyoming men’s basketball players Jerron Granberry and Charles Hankerson Jr. Granberry and Hankerson grew up in Miami. Their fathers were best friends, and they began playing basketball together when they were little kids. They were high school teammates at Coral Reef High in Miami. When Granberry was a senior and Hankerson was a junior, they helped their team win a state championship. That was in 2009, and both thought that was the last time they would play basketball together. Although both took different, and, in Granberry’s case, unfortunate paths to reunite, both get one last chance to be teammates. In, of all places, Laramie. Granberry went to the University of North Florida, where in three seasons he became the school’s career leader in 3-pointers made (213) and 3-pointers attempted (579). He made 101 career starts and scored 1,071 points. Last season, Granberry was excused from the team to be with his family after the death of his father.

“Words can’t describe how happy I am. I really feel lucky to be around a person like that. His leaving (North Florida) came under circumstances I didn’t like, but it’s definitely an honor to be back playing with him.” — Charles Hankerson Jr.

“I tell people the real reason I came here is when we were both about 7 or 8, were at a camp and Junior blocked me. I’ve been waiting all this time to get him back, and I did during a recent practice.”

WYOMING COWBOYS 2013-14 He applied for and was granted a hardship waiver by the NCAA. He will have one year of eligibility with UW while he pursues his master’s degree. Even though Laramie is a long way from Florida, Granberry wanted and needed a change after dealing with his family tragedy, yet to still be with people close to him. Current UW assistant coach Jeremy Shyatt was an assistant at North Florida when Granberry played there, so there was some familiarity there. But, more importantly, there was Hankerson. Hankerson signed with UW in 2012 after playing two years at Alabama. Hankerson sat out last season to satisfy NCAA transfer rules. Since this past summer, both have been reunited as friends and teammates. “Words can’t describe how happy I am,” Hankerson said. “I really feel lucky to be around a person like that. His leaving (North Florida) came under circumstances I didn’t like, but it’s definitely an honor to be back playing with him.”

UW is counting on Granberry and Hankerson to provide more size and production on the wing. Granberry is 6-foot-4 and a proven scorer. Hankerson, who Granberry described as linebacker playing basketball, is 6-4, 220 pounds, and hopes to give the Cowboys a good defender and a player who can drive to the basket. Coach Larry Shyatt said both are capable of playing multiple positions on the court, and he has been impressed with the competitiveness both have displayed in practice. “For Junior, it’s been a process and at some points disappointing for him,” Shyatt said. “Whether it was focus on his school work or punctuality, being in shape or not having played in a year. But I like the direction he’s going in now. He has high aspirations, but it’s about being the best you can be and what you can control. I want him to focus on that. “Jerron is quiet and introverted, at least when he’s around me. But I do find it interesting that he really gets emotional and passionate at practice. He has a level of calmness and is a mature guy.” UW has won 20 or more games and played

in the postseason each of the last two seasons. The Cowboys’ three most productive players last season were seniors, and even though it returns three starters and 10 lettermen, many of them are young and unproven. If UW is to make it three postseason appearances in a row, Granberry and Hankerson will have to play big roles. Granberry said when he decided to transfer, his choice was easy because Hankerson was at UW. He joked that he didn’t need to visit Laramie; all he needed to know was that Hankerson was there. But there was something more. “I tell people the real reason I came here is when we were both about 7 or 8, were at a camp and Junior blocked me,” Granberry said with a laugh. “I’ve been waiting all this time to get him back, and I did during a recent practice.” Not only is Granberry reunited with his best friend, he found even more, despite being across the country from home. “These guys have been great for me,” he said. “They are always making sure I am OK and everything at home is OK. I think that’s what is putting me in a position to succeed here at Wyoming.”

Sometimes it was by choice, and other times it was out of necessity. No matter how you look at it, University of Wyoming men’s basketball coach Larry Shyatt likes to play guards — no matter their size — that play defense, and take care and distribute the ball. This season will be no different. The Cowboys must replace point guard Derrious Gilmore, who led the team with 3.4 assists and was third in scoring (12.4 points per game). They also must replace Luke Martinez, who before he was suspended indefinitely last season led the team in scoring (14.5 ppg) and steals (25) after 12 games. Gilmore was 5-foot-10, and his predecessor was 5-foot-9 JayDee Luster in 2011-12. Another small point guard will try to make his way into the lineup this season in 5-11 true freshman Trey Washington, who has impressed Shyatt and his teammates so far in practice. Washington still has a lot to learn, but is confident he will. “The older guys are bringing me along,” he said. “I’m pretty sure by the midway point of the season, when I know the style as well as they do, we will be unstoppable at point guard.” Washington joins a trio of other guards who have all seen time at the point guard and shooting guard positions: 6-2 junior Riley Grabau,

6-2 sophomore Josh Adams and 6-1 junior walk-on Jack Bentz. “We all have a similar connection as last year,” said Adams, who is the leading returning scorer among the guards at 6.6 points per game. “The only difference is people on this year’s team are apt to help each other out more on the defensive end. We also are looking to get in the passing lanes and get more steals this year, rather than just contain teams.” Shyatt wants to be more aggressive defensively by pressing more. He also wants to do the same offensively by taking open shots early in the shot clock, and by driving to the basket and getting to the free-throw line. If that isn’t there, then the guards can get the ball to the post players, led by junior Larry Nance Jr., who is the team’s top returning scorer (10.7 ppg) and rebounder (6.9 rpg). That seems to fit the talents of this season’s group of UW guards. “I think we have more guards interested in attacking the rim now,” said Grabau, who averaged six points per game, but, more importantly, had 79 assists and only 37 turnovers last season. “We are trying to attack the rim and get everyone the ball, whether it is to another guard or getting it to our big guys inside. It’s fun to watch and fun to be a part of.” Washington, Adams and Grabau are not the only guards who will be involved in this new style of play.




WYOMING COWBOYS 2013-14 Seniors Nathan Sobey and Jerron Granberry, and junior Charles Hankerson Jr. — all in the 6-3 to 6-4 range — will be, too. But if UW is to make this style work, it will start with the point guards. Maybe not always in terms of scoring, but going back to ball security and distribution. “On the defensive end, we’ve always been asked to be aggressive,” Adams said. “Now to come back on the offensive end with our abilities, I think we can be hard to guard, and you see that a lot in college basketball these days.”

WYOMING COWGIRLS 2013-14

LONG-RANGE SNIPER UW’s Mileto is one of the nation’s top 3-point shooters

By SCOTT NULPH

[email protected]

Like any good craftsman, University of Wyoming guard Kaitlyn Mileto is always critiquing her work, looking for ways to improve her performance. As a sophomore, Mileto’s work was pretty good. And the Colorado Springs, Colo., product believes it can be even better in her junior season. Mileto averaged 11.8 points and 2.6 rebounds for the Cowgirls a year ago in earning All-Mountain West thirdteam honors. And the 5-foot-10 guard was particularly lethal from behind the 3-point arc. Mileto was 70 of 167 on 3-point attempts last season, a 41.9 percent clip, which was 10th best in the nation. That mark was also the fourth-best single-season 3-point percentage in program history. Mileto’s career percentage of 37.4 percent also ranks fourth in school history. And with 116 made 3-pointers over her first two years, Mileto is already No. 12 on the Cowgirls’ all-time list. Yet it’s not the makes that keeps Mileto working on her shot — it’s the misses. “I analyze my shot a lot. Any time I miss, I’m trying to make a correction and I’m finding something I can do better with it,” Mileto said. “With my dad being my shooting coach, that helped me. He gave those tools so when it’s off left I know how to adjust. I love being in the gym.” Mileto figures she got up to a minimum of between 1,000 and 2,000 shots a week during this past summer. She’s also usually one of the last Cowgirls to leave the ArenaAuditorium after practice, getting up even more of her patented 3-point bombs. Along with fellow junior Kayla Woodward, the Cowgirls possess one of the top 3-point sniper duos in the Mountain West. “Everybody sees how well Kaitlyn

and Kayla shoot the basketball, but what you don’t see is all the hours they put in to get better,” UW coach Joe Legerski said. “They put in an unbelievable amount of time in the offseason perfecting their shot, and you see how it reflects in the games. “Kaitlyn continues to do that in the season. Her drive is to be a tremendous offensive player, which she is, but she’s not satisfied with what she’s done.” Mileto admitted there are times when she over-analyzes her shot, but that she’s able to get things back on track pretty quickly. She also knows that getting up a shot is just one component to a successful offense. “My teammates are the ones that get me the open shots,” she said. “They’re the ones creating the open looks for me, so I owe it all to them. If I didn’t have my teammates on the floor occupying the defense and getting me the ball and playing to their strengths, it wouldn’t happen for me.” Being one of the top 3-point shooters in the country does come with a certain degree of difficulty. Mileto said she was more aware of defenses trying to take away her 3-point shot as the season went on last year. “I’ve always kind of understood that role, so I know they’ll be looking for me and Kayla out of the wings,” Mileto said. “We just have to do a good job of working to get open, and our teammates will get us the ball.” Mileto is on pace to shatter Shelby Hoffman’s all-time 3-point record of 215. And before it’s all said and done, she may have to battle Woodward for the top spot. That doesn’t mean Mileto has stopped working on her game and her shot. “I’m just focused on getting better every day and our team getting better every day,” she said. “That’s our team goal, and that’s what I’m worried about. I will do whatever I can do to University of Wyoming guard Kaitlyn Mileto shot 41 percent of 3-pointers last help my team win.” season. JEREMY MARTIN/WyoSports photographer

Cowgirls will be led by guards this season By SCOTT NULPH

[email protected]

University of Wyoming women’s basketball coach Joe Legerski was asked if he has ever had a guarddominant team in his previous 10 seasons coaching the Cowgirls. The answer was yes — sort of. “We have had teams that have been led by the guards, but they’ve also had some solid post play to go with them,” Legerski said. “We’ve been able to get by with the post player by committee at times. In the college game, you need good guard play. If you don’t have good guard play, you have tough nights.” The 2013-14 Cowgirls should definitely have good guard play. The Cowgirls return two allconference selections in juniors Kayla Woodward and Kaitlyn Mileto. Woodward was a secondteam All-Mountain West pick after averaging 14.1 points and 6.3 rebounds a year ago. Mileto was named to the third team while averaging 11.8 points and finished 10th in the nation in 3-point shooting percentage (41.9). Senior Fallon Lewis was the top Cowgirl off the bench a year ago and could play at guard or forward for the Cowgirls. Wyoming also returns senior point guard Chelan Landry, who didn’t start last season but played the most minutes at the point of any player. Sophomore Marquelle Dent also saw time at the point and will battle Landry for the starting spot. Throw in senior Kaylee Hoffman, junior-college transfer Jasmine Davis and freshman Hailey Ligocki, and UW’s depth at guard might be as good as it has ever been. “I think we can really run, and that’s really fun,” Woodward said. “In high school, we didn’t have any tall girls, so that’s all we did. We have the talent to get out and go this year.” Woodward and Mileto form a dynamic wing combination. Woodward was tabbed as the preseason MW player of the year by a vote of the conference coaches and media, and both are constant threats

from behind the arc. Both players increased their numbers across the board from their freshman to sophomore seasons. “That’s what you always hope happens to all your players, and that’s why it’s so hard to look to freshmen to make huge impacts,” Legerski said. “As veterans, they understand the game, the game starts slowing down for them. Their confidence continues to grow.” Lewis spent her playing time

last year backing up Woodward at the wing and Chaundra Sewell at the forward position. As Lewis steps into a starting spot this year, she’ll be listed as a forward, but will provide an outside threat the Cowgirls didn’t have in recent years. “Now that I’m kind of relaxed with the offense and I know what’s going on a lot more, I can help and just play the four and be that leader,” Lewis said. With a smaller lineup this year, the

Cowgirls have the chance to be a more up-tempo team than recently. “Coaches have kind of given us the leeway to do a little more things,” Landry said. “Hopefully our speed will help out in the long run.” Added Mileto: “I think we’re going to be tough because we’ve got so many threats in Kayla and Fallon, and our point guards are stepping up and our posts are stepping up. It’s going to be really difficult to guard us.”





Newcomer to leader

Lewis assumes a bigger role for Cowgirls this season

At 6 feet tall, Lewis is penciled into Sewell’s starting spot at forward this season. Fallon Lewis always dreamt of “No one can replace Chaundra, becoming a Cowgirl. obviously, but I’m just going to try Growing up in Dayton, just outside to do my best and get out there and of Sheridan, Lewis has been a get rebounds and points and try to University of Wyoming fan her whole life.

Sewell did for the Cowgirls over “I never really thought of that the last three years, there are a few growing up,” Lewis said. “I just things Lewis can add that Sewell wanted to play for Wyoming.” didn’t — mainly the outside shot. There’s no more thinking involved While Sewell made just four for Lewis. As a senior for Wyoming 3-pointers in her career as a this season, Lewis has made it to the Cowgirl, Lewis was 24 of 49 top as a starter for the Cowgirls. from behind the arc last year, a Lewis, a three-time Class 2A All49-percent clip.

MOUNTAIN WEST BASKETBALL 2013-14

ASK THE COACHES

Joe Legerski Cowgirls coach

QUESTION One or two words on the conference this season

Larry Shyatt Cowboys coach

Exciting and unpredictable.

The best.

Do you like the new 18-game conference schedule?

I’m fine with it. I’ve been around to play 14 and 16 conference games. It’s the schedule that’s set.

I’d like to see everybody play everybody twice.

Should all 11 teams play in the conference tournament?

It’s the culminating event and it’s important for student-athletes to participate in a year-end event.

I’m definitely for every team in the country getting to play in the conference tournament.

How will Beth Burns’ retirement affect the league? (Asked of the women’s teams coaches)

Beth Burns is one of the best coaches in the country. She will be missed in the profession.

—

Do you feel the conference tournament should be moved from the Thomas & Mack? (Asked of the men’s teams coaches)

—

If we want to emblemize being a BCS conference we should never play it on somebody’s home court.

What does the MW need to do to take a step up this year as a conference? (Asked of the women’s teams coaches)

I remember the days when the women had multiple bids. Now the tables have turned and I think it runs in cycles. The women’s program will be back.

—

Are you in favor of the new defensive rules this season? (Asked of the men’s teams coaches)

—

Should the NCAA tweak the NCAA tournament? (Asked of the women’s teams coaches)

Decisions need to based on what’s best for women’s basketball. Going back to Friday-Sunday format would be a positive step.

I’m disappointed that we would ever make any rules that wouldn’t make our sport more entertaining rather than just make it fair.

—

Can the MW match its success from last season? (Asked of the men’s teams coaches)

—

We have to do our work in November in December like all of us did last year.

Do you like the new 10-second backcourt and 5-second guarding rule? (Asked of the women’s teams coaches)

I like the 10-second backcourt rule. You play to how the rules are and we may now press a little bit.

—

Do you think athletes should get paid beyond their scholarship? (Asked of the men’s teams coaches)

—

What’s the biggest key to a successful season? If you could be any other coach, what would it be? When you need to get away from basketball, what would it be?

At the BCS level they are no longer in the business of collegiate athletics, they are in the world of entertainment.

Having your team stay healthy.

Doing the best you can do against who you play against.

Football.

I don’t know if I would enjoy coaching another sport.

Spending time with my family.

Spending time and enjoying my family.

MOUNTAIN WEST WOMEN’S BASKETBALL 2013-14

ASK THE COACHES QUESTION One or two words on the conference this season

Andrea Williams Air Force

Gordy Presnell Boise State

Ryun Williams CSU

Raegan Pebly Fresno State

Jane Albright Nevada

Yvonne Sanchez New Mexico

Jerry Finkbeiner Utah State

Stacie Terry San Diego State

Jaime Craighead San Jose State

Kathy Olivier UNLV

Wide-open race.

A big question mark.

Extremely balanced and competitive.

Parity and post play.

Wide open.

Good and getting better.

Tradition and respect.

Very competitive.

Defensiveoriented and big.

Always competitive and very good coaches.


Without playing it, it should be right.

I want 20 games, no question.

I think 18 is a really nice number.

With 18 games they made it as fair as they could.

I think it’s the lesser of two evils.

It will be a wait and see for me.

I think anything between 18 and 20 is good.

For me it’s okay. It’s a good balance.

It allows you to have a good preseason.

I think it’s good for the conference to have that many games.


Without a doubt. It’s one of the things a studentathlete is excited about.

Absolutely, it’s the way it should always be

I like that. The MW tournament is such a neat spectacle for our players.

We need to remember that we’re the only one who brings all its teams to the tournament.

100 percent. I’m for education and I think that’s what makes sports fun.

I think it’s the student-athlete experience and sometimes we forget about that.

It’s all about the experience for the student-athlete so yes.

It makes it fun for everyone and it’s a fair shot for everyone.

That’s what the postseason is all about, seeing if somebody can get hot at the end.

I like that for the student-athlete. It’s the best thing the MW conference does.

It affects our league tremendously.

She was a great representative of our league nationally.

She will be missed, no doubt about it.

We lost a great coach in our league.

Beth was a great mentor for everyone. She’ll be missed.

Not having that spokesperson for the league might be tough for us.

There’s some national fallout a little bit.

Unable to comment.

Beth was a legend so she’ll be a big loss for the conference.

We’ll miss Beth’s voice. She knew the women’s game more than anyone.

What does the MW need to do to take a step up this year as a conference?

You’re talking about one or two bids in the entire tournament. ... You have to do your work outside the league.

There isn’t parity in women’s basketball like there is in the men’s game so it will take some time.

We’ve got to do a good job in the nonconference of winning some of those games against high RPI teams.

We need to keep recruiting the best players we can. We just need to pull our own weight.

It’s time for us to win games in the nonconference.

We need to load up on the nonconference schedule and beat those teams. It takes all 11 teams.

We all have to ... schedule teams in the nonconference before we start beating each other up.

We need to do a better job of challenging ourselves in the nonconference.

It comes down to the preseason, you’ve got to play people and win some games.

We have to make sure we play challenging teams in nonconference and win those games.

Should the NCAA tweak the NCAA tournament?

A couple things would be changing the weekends from the men’s tournament.

I think regional sites shouldn’t be played on the home team’s court.

I like it the way it is.

We can’t be afraid of the conversation.

I think making it a week later would be great.

Moving it a day or two would be better. Moving it to Friday-Sunday would be great.

I think the game has to change a little in that it’s become a little more physical.

The days that we play could be tweaked.

There are a lot of issues in women’s basketball.

I like the voice of kind of getting away from the men’s tournament.

Do you like the new 10-second backcourt and 5-second guarding rule?

I love that rule. I’m a pressing coach so it’s a great rule.

I don’t have a problem with either rule.

Not sure why we have it any different in the women’s game.

The more we can have our game mimic the FIBA rules, the better we are.

I think it will allow people to do things in the full court.

Defensively, it helps and speeds up the game a little more.

It’s more political than anything.

It’s going to change the game dramatically and change the way we coach.

You love it if you’re a pressing team so ... it will help us speed up the tempo.

It’s good because it will speed up the game a little bit and that’s good for the fans.

What’s the biggest key to a successful season?

(Avoiding)Injuries.

Avoiding injuries.

You got to stay healthy.

A team that’s committed to each other and the process.

Keeping your players healthy.

Injuries are always a major factor.

It’s about a good foundation and chemistry and trust.

Having the team come together and jell as a team.

A little bit of luck and you have to stay healthy.

Take care of home court and steal a couple on the road.

If you could be any other coach, what would it be?

Baseball.

Football.

Football.

Football.

Football.

Football.

Track and field.

Football.

Men’s basketball or softball.

Tennis.

When you need to get away from basketball, what would it be?

I’m a TV junkie.

Spend time with my wife, have a date at least once a week.

Watching my two daughters play basketball.

I truly love spending time with my family and cooking.

Hiking.

I like to go fishing.

Getting on my motorcycle.

Family.

I like to vacation a little bit where it’s quiet.

Playing tennis.

ASK THE COACHES QUESTION

Dave Pilopovich Air Force

One or two words to describe the conference

Competitive and talented.


Sixteen games ... gives you a little more flexibility in the nonconference schedule.


Leon Rice Boise State

Larry Eustachy CSU

Rodney Terry Fresno State

David Carter Nevada

Craig Neal New Mexico

Stew Morrill Utah State

Steve Fisher San Diego State

Dave Wojcik San Jose State

Dave Rice UNLV

Underrated.

Balanced and toughness.

Highly competitive.

Deep and competitive.

New and exciting.

Very balanced.

Competitive.

Competitive and wide-open.

I was against it. Too few.

I think it’s perfect.

It sounds like a lot of games and I’m not sure I like playing some teams only once.

I have no problem with the 18-game schedule.

I like where it was, but I wouldn’t even be opposed to playing 20.

A perfect world we’d play everybody twice but I’m okay with it.

I think it’s okay, I’m okay with 16 or 18 games.

I understand both sides of it, but I would like 20 games.

Until it becomes truly random there will always be discussion. I’d be fine with 20 or 18.

All 11 teams deserve to be the conference tournament.

I think we should have all 11.

I would have it no other way from a coaching standpoint.

Everyone ... should have a chance.

100 percent I think that’s something that has to happen.

I think everybody’s got to be included.

Yes all 11 teams should have the chance to play for a conference title.

Yes, all 11 teams should get their chance to play.

Teams should be rewarded for being in the league.

We’re a major conference so that’s what we need to do.

It’s a great environment because everyone loves to go to Las Vegas.

I think it should be at a neutral site.

I think it would be fair to play it somewhere else, but it should be in Las Vegas.

I think there’s more pressure on UNLV to play at home so it’s not really an advantage.

I like Vegas and I think it’s great for us. The exposure is great and the fans love it being there.

It’s good where it is.

I think it should be somewhere neutral. I’ve fought for that forever.

I don’t mind it in Vegas, I just would like to see it at a different venue.

It doesn’t bother me where they hold it.

I’ve always believed it needs to be in Vegas, where they choose to have it is fine with me.

Are you in favor of the new defensive rules this season?

When the officials are consistent with it, yes.

If (the officials) enforce it the way we think they will, it will help.

I like it.

It will affect on how you teach it. I’m in favor of the charge line.

Hopefully it will help the officials in terms of judgment calls.

As long as they don’t get caught up ... it’s a good rule.

It scares me because I don’t think they’ll ever call a charge.

We’ll see how the officials do with it to see if it’s a good rule.

We’re not going to let it affect us.

If they can (be consistent) it’s a great rule.

Can the MW match its success from last season?

I think we can still represent the NCAA with five teams.

Five is an awful lot, but there’s a lot of good teams still.

The ... key to our league is to win in the NCAA tournament.

We lost some great players, but ... the teams will still be very good.

The conference will sustain that success this season.

A lot of it will depend on ... nonconference games.

I think there will be (good) years ... I just don’t know if it will be this year.

I think we can get there again.

I think the league won’t have a major drop off so I think we can.

Teams are accustomed to winning.

What’s the biggest key to a successful season?

How you grow as a team and get better.

Being injury free.

Good players.

Road wins.

A team that competes at the highest level over a full season.

Win on the road.

Staying healthy and staying together.

Depth and staying injury free.

You have to have great chemistry.

It’s all about chemistry once you get past talent.

Do you think athletes should get paid beyond their scholarship?

If we pay them, where do we stop? I’m old school and I don’t think we should pay them.

They do a lot for the university and sometimes we put them in a poverty situation and that’s not right.

We should be able to do more for our players.

You can’t pay athletes because when they want to get paid, it’s for the wrong reason.

I like the amateurism. The purity of the game is what you want at this level.

I think maybe with their scholarship. I’m not a big fan of the stipend.

I think we start messing with amateurism it’s something we don’t know what we’re messing with.

It’s a dangerous area.

Being a former student-athlete it didn’t bother me. If you open that can of worms there will be a lot of issues.

There’s got to be some sort of formula but it’s a slippery slope to go down.

If you could be any other coach, what would it be?

Football and I’d be a special teams coach.

Football.

I’d be a horse trainer.

Baseball.

Football.

Golf.

I love offense so being an offensive coordinator.

Golf.

Baseball.

Football.

When you need to get away from basketball, what would it be?

Spend time with the family.

I spend time with my family.

Horse racing.

Go to movies.

I love working out, trying to stay fit.

I spend a lot of time on my motorcycle and I play a lot of golf.

Spending time with my family.

Being with my family.

Like to work out, anything outdoors.

Golf is a great release for me.

Do you feel the conference tournament should be moved from the Thomas & Mack?

Tough.

Kentucky, UConn earns top spots in AP polls LEXINGTON, Ky. (AP) — Every time Kentucky coach John Calipari starts to praise his latest crop of talented freshmen, he’s just as quick to point out that it is a work in progress. As the Wildcats take the first step toward coming together, Calipari will also have to remind his players to get through those growing pains quickly, because they are now the team to beat in college basketball. Kentucky — with a collection of high school All-Americans — is ranked No. 1 in The Associated Press’ preseason Top 25, a significant step considering the Wildcats finished 21-12 last season and were upset by Robert Morris in the first round of the NIT. “It’s a nice honor, but it’s way too early to figure out who’s the best team in the country,” Calipari said. “We may be very talented, but I can’t imagine us being the best team in the country at this point.” It’s Kentucky’s third preseason No. 1 and first since 1995-96 when the Wildcats won the national championship. Kentucky was ranked for just one week in the final 16 polls of last season but Calipari enters this season with a roster featuring two returnees — Alex Poythress and Willie Cauley-Stein — and six freshmen who were selected McDonalds All-Americans last season.

Huskies unanimous pick Geno Auriemma and his UConn Huskies are back in a familiar place — No. 1 in the poll. Connecticut received all 36 votes Friday in The Associated Press’ women’s basketball poll marking the ninth time that the Huskies are the top team in the preseason. Five of those years UConn went on to win the national championship. “I don’t know that being preseason No. 1 necessarily gets you anything except some attention,” Auriemma said. “But it’s always nice when people want to talk about your players and program. We like that feeling.” UConn has most of its team back from last season’s national championship run led by sophomore sensation Breanna Stewart, who won most outstanding player of the Final Four honors in April. Duke was second in the poll — it’s best ranking since the Blue Devils finished at No. 1 in the final poll of 2007. Stanford, led by senior Chiney Ogwumike, was third followed by Tennessee. Louisville matched its best ranking ever at No. 5. The Cardinals will play one season in the new American Athletic Conference before bolting to the ACC next season. Their former Big East foe Notre Dame was sixth in the poll.
