Bobby Cremins Retires

Tue - 20 Mar Written by Administrator

Bobby Cremins,, a veteran of 31 seasons as a college basketball head coach and the winningest coach in Georgia Tech history, spent six seasons as head coach at the College of Charleston. He was named coach of the Cougars on July 3, 2006 and is the third-winningest coach in program history with a 125-68 (.648) record.

Prior to his retirement from coaching on March 19, 2012, Cremins ranked 14th among active NCAA Division I coaches in career victories (579) which currently stands as the 46th-most all-time in NCAA history ahead of former CofC legendary head coach John Kresse (53rd, 560), his mentor and former coach, Frank McGuire (56th, 549) and Lou Carnesecca (61st, 526).

There is not a coach in the country who combined experience, development and caring as much as Cremins. He mentored 25 players who were drafted or went on to play in the NBA, coached in an NCAA Final Four and was twice named National Coach of the Year by the media and his peers.

The Bronx, N.Y. native, who coached six seasons at Appalachian State (1976-81, 100-70) and 19 at Georgia Tech (1982-2000, 354-237) compiled a 579-375 (.607) overall record in his illustrious 31-year coaching career. He led Appalachian State to one NCAA Tournament berth and Georgia Tech to 10.

NCAA Men's Basketball Conference Breakdowns

Fri - 18 Mar Written by Administrator

With the completion of the 2nd round of play in the NCAA Tournament, we break down the numbers of teams per conference and it seems that the Big 12 Conference has the highest percentage remaining, with 80%. We are very impressed with the play from the CAA teams as 2 of their 3 teams will be advancing. With 4 losses in the first round, the Big East has a disappointing 67% of their teams remaining, and we predict that the Louisville lost busted a lot of people’s bracket. For all the people who keeping saying the Pac-10 is a weak conference, they have 3 of their 4 teams alive. Your thoughts?
