VIRGINIA MILITARY INSTITUTE


Lexington, VA - A surprise press conference today by the AD of VMI was to announce the resignation of basketball coach Dugger Baucom. Coach Baucom decided to persue other things and wished the team and school well. The Athletic Director then announced the hiring of Bob Knight, a successful coach in the high school ranks, to be the next head basketball coach of the Keydets. The members got excited, and confused, that Bob Knight would leave Texas Tech to be coach of the much smaller school. Unfortunately, it was not THAT Bob Knight that was arriving.


(note: Army was available but I decided to try a different military team)

The day has finally come and new coach Bob Knight saw what the players had during their annual first practice that is on the day known as Midnight Madness.

"This team has a bunch of good to great shooters who can put up long range shots at a whim." Coach Knight stated. "However, the players don't play defense all that well and that will probably lead to a lot of shootouts. I hope that we have enough lights in storage for the scoreboard because we will certainly keep the scorer busy."

There's the first five games. If you want me to jump ahead to my current season (year 3) instead of posting my first two seasons first, please let me know.

Also, if you would like for me to follow a school for you, please let me know as well.

[Preo32]

i have a legacy with Northern Colorado, and like in your legacy, NC won

[ChrisPaul_3]

This is pretty nice.

[Sheerdominance]

I live in Lexington, VA. I go see VMI play all the time, R. Williams was awesome. The twins are good too. They're a great three point shooting team, but when they're off.... they lose.

I like your franchise presentation dude.

i have a legacy with Northern Colorado, and like in your legacy, NC won

I'm sure that you had to try to slow the game down a little bit because of their fast paced style of play.


This is pretty nice.

Thanks for the kind words.


I live in Lexington, VA. I go see VMI play all the time, R. Williams was awesome. The twins are good too. They're a great three point shooting team, but when they're off.... they lose.

I like your franchise presentation dude.


I loved coaching the Keydets for the first two seasons. The team certainly was a great 3-point shooting team during my time there. Williams and the Holmes twins did really well in my system, which is much different than what it is in real life.

I try to give the reader a sense of being right at the arena watching the game. It's a much different approach than just putting out the stats from the games with little or no review of the game played or coached.


Thanks guys for the responses and feedback.

At practice today, Coach Bob Knight addressed the team.

"Early last week I had a talk with your former coach, Coach Baucom. He told me that since the team was struggling that I should try his up tempo, fast break offense because he had built the team that way. What I saw for the past two games was a whopping 33 turnovers and my top scorer averaging under 30% from the floor. This is what I think of his offensive style!" [Coach Knight sends a chair across the Cameron Hall floor!] "I am the general here! You kids are going to do it my way now. Let's get to work on cutting down the turnovers and hopefully we can win against the conference leading Bulldogs!"

[Superjames1992]

Haha, looking back I think the instance where you threw the chair was the thing that really got your team going for a great season for the rest of the year! It pays to be like the real Bobby Knight!

I must have scared the living daylights out of them. The use of props does wonders, I guess, when your teaching the students.

Recruiting didn't go as planned. With only two scholorships and high school seniors ducking our military school, the two players that were offered declined and opted to go to Ball State and Appalachian State instead.

We did, however, have five walk ons with only one spot available on the bench. The others will have to live with being members of our reserve squad.

Out of these five shmucks, I am leaning towards Borders as being the 12th man on the bench. Although Forte's overall is higher (53 to 51), Borders looks to be a better shooter and defender than Forte.

Lexington, VA - Midnight madness has arrived on the campus of Virginia Military Institute in a huge way as 45% of the stands are filled, double from last year, in anticipation of the upcoming season for the Keydets. A surprise trip to the NCAA sweet sixteen can have that effect on others and expectations are high on campus in hopes of another trip to the "Big Dance".

Four of the five starters from last season have returned as well as everyone that was on the bench last season, including both assistant coaches. All four will be starting again and will be joined by senior forward Travis Holmes as he is promoted from last season's sixth man role to that of starting small forward.

[xanax12]

been reading along your legacy, very exciting and fun. and now am seriously planning to start a legacy of my own, "coach mode" too. but am still stuck with my old and trusty ps2. do you where to get very good "coach" sliders?

thanks.

[xanax12]

Started my legacy (PS2) wth the La Salle Explorers and got through with our first 2 games. I have posted this in the other thread, but got no help, I want to play it in a "coach mode" (like you do), unfortunately, my PG does not want to call plays. He just stands there and wait for the last 5 seconds, then shoot.

I have also read a lot of thread about this, and same thing neither got any reply.

How do you do it with "coach mode"?

He doesn't post this legacy here anymore. I have never done Coach mode, So I can't answer your question, but if you go over to the Operation Sports Forum, Doncoryell is posting his leagcy over there as well as several others who are using coach mode.....
