Comment on SVSU seeking a new head men’s basketball coach by Jared Field

Also, I didn’t write anything about Mott beating anyone. That was another poster. I will say that your assessment of the GLIAC is a little bit grandiose. One of Mott’s least successful teams in the past decade only won about 26 games. They had two players go to the GLIAC one starter and one reserve player (Bobby Lewis and Andrew Charlesworth). Both players averaged more points in the GLIAC than they did at Mott. That sort of calls into question your assertion that no one plays defense.

Actually I’d be comparing apples to lemons. SVSU’s program has been a joke for a long time — one winning season in a decade (16 wins). The program is the very definition of mediocre.

Jared that is the most ridiculous thing I have ever heard. Mott C C wouldn’t beat SVSU on a good day. You are comparing apples and oranges. They actually play defense in the GLIAC, unlike the community college leagues.. And, lastly Schmidt wouldn’t have a chance at this job. They want someone that actually coaches college basketball, not an open gym manager. I have been to Mott games, and they are entertaining, but it’s bad basketball.

Comment on Mott’s Steve Schmidt and John Taylor share national awards by Dre

Jeremie had a pretty stacked team his sophomore year and still managed 22 per game, with Thomas Kennedy,Deandre Nealy,Lamarr Drake,Al Pegues, and Jacquez Williams(Latter part of the season).

I think he could have easily averaged more had his team not been stacked.

This years team was good, but they aren’t better than the 07-08 team.

I may be wrong and if I am let me know,but I think if Jeremie played with this years team he could have averaged the same if not more points.

Tiggs is my favorite Mott player, no doubt. Great player and an even greater guy.
