Team of the Week

Air Force – Maybe it is proof of the power of the home-court in the Mountain West (note that Ken Pomeroy carves out an altitude exception here to the declining value of the home court). Maybe it was visiting teams overlooking the previously 2-8 Falcons, a team run down by injuries. Maybe it was just plain old college basketball craziness. But, whatever the case, Air Force invited both New Mexico and Wyoming into Clune Arena this weekend and sent both those teams packing with losses. Against the Lobos on Wednesday, they scored the final nine points of [...]]]> http://rushthecourt.net/2015/02/10/checking-in-on-the-mountain-west-52/feed/ 0 Checking in on… the Mountain West http://rushthecourt.net/2015/01/06/checking-in-on-the-mountain-west-47/ http://rushthecourt.net/2015/01/06/checking-in-on-the-mountain-west-47/#respond Tue, 06 Jan 2015 22:41:57 +0000 http://rushthecourt.net/?p=107110

Missouri’s long overly complicated coaching search came to an end yesterday as they announced that Kim Anderson, who played there and served as an assistant there, would be their next coach. Anderson has been the head coach at Central Missouri where he was 274-94 and won the Division II title this season. He may turn out to be an excellent hire, but the way the school handled the entire process hiring a search firm, spending more than $40,000, and being rebuffed by many more prominent names only to select a former player who was coaching only 1.5 hours away makes them [...]]]>
