Mt. Vernon was a player/parent issue... I didn't follow them much of the season, but once I did I found out quickly they would play 6-7 kids a game and suddenly it was 6-7 kids in another game. 1 or 2 kids that were playing earlier didn't play in upcoming games. I don't know if the issue was those players or the kids that replaced them were sitting for a reason. I do know that they began putting things together as the year progressed.
Assumption hired a former alumni and All-American basketball player at St. Ambrose. He takes over after coaching with Samford University. Assumption will be a work in progress position over the next few years, but they are looking up from the younger classes.
His nephew Trent was the leading scorer for freshman last year and played a few good games at sophomore level as well. That didn't have an influence in his decision, but I'm sure it didn't hurt at all.
Humboldt coach was my former classmate. He comes from a good lineage as a basketball coach. You can be sure if the chance arises he will coach. Not sure if that will be as the head of a program, but he will definitely be involved.
