Marcapulos Camp has caused this by saying "Katz does not want the job" and acting as if what he has done at Delta was easy. I was holding off on this but if you want to see what Marcopulos own newspaper says here you go. http://www.santa-cruz.com/archive/2006/February/25/sport/stories/04sport.htm this will give you all you need to know about his website and what his own area coaches think of him.
Grizz - I think it's odd that you link to that article while acting like it's gonna hurt Marcopulos' reputation. You suggested that we read it to find out about the Cabrillo website and what area coaches think of him...
- - all the article says about the website is that it's "geared toward recruitment and promotion." Why
wouldn't a coach/program do everything possible to make the school attractive to prospective players?
- -I don't see anything in the article that indicates what area coaches think of him, I just here the
complaining voice of a local sports writer who wants more local kids on the team.
My guess is that when the regular readers of this board (the Sac St. fans) read that article, they'll recognize that Marcopulos is a hard-working, driven coach that is determined to build a winner (which he did -- this article was written the season before back-to-back conference championships).
Conley obviously had an agenda when he wrote the article... to make an argument that there should be more local kids on the roster. Here's a quote in that article from Marcopulos regarding this issue:
"My take is that my job is to get the best basketball team together that gives us a chance to win. First and foremost I'm going to look at local kids, if I think they can help us win a championship," he says. "This is not a club thing, like a lot of people like to think. My team shouldn't be made up of kids in this area just because they're from this area."
If I'm a Sac State fan, I'm thinking "That's what I want, a coach that is determined to get the players needed to WIN."
