Great place, I had so much fun there. Shame to see places like that close. Huge pool. 5? diving boards at a separate diving-only pool. Putt putt golf. Attached restaurant. Basketball. Hand table tennis game.
Playground. Sauna. Big jacuzzi. Workout room. Huge locker room. Video game room. They don't make places like that anymore. Kind of like the old NCR/Old River pool, a relic of the past.

There is sort of a similar swim club on the west side of Cincinnati, Phillips Swim Club, that I have actually been to once, still open, I wonder if there is any relation, Phillips spelled differently.

I remember being told that his Mom said that she’d close the pool and turn it into a parking lot before she would allow black members. There’s no excuse for that kind of thinking. Unfortunately, her thinking was prevalent at many urban swim clubs.

NCR was such a cool place. Huge pools with tons of grass. Hanging out and listening to WDJX. Great memories.

Turns out that it is the same family that ran both those pools in Cincinnati and Dayton. I never knew that.

https://www.cincinnati.com/story/new...tion/23740111/:

Herbert Hoover was president of the United States, bread sold for nine cents a loaf, the price of a Chevrolet was $525, and the average cost of a new home was $3,840 when the Philipps Swim Club opened its doors for business in June 1930.

Built at the height of the Great Depression, Philipps is a testament to the enduring optimism and perseverance of the American spirit. Risk taking was nothing new to the Philipps family. According to an article by Julie Hotchkiss in the Cincinnati West Side Examiner, Charles Philipps built the first privately owned pool in the United States in 1868 along the banks of the Miami River. His descendants would later build pools in Cincinnati, Dayton, Columbus, Buffalo and Muncie.

Edit: and I just realized that I used to work in the same building for the same company with the guy who wrote that article, Michael Colligan. Wow, crazy, small world.

Loyola Chicago is now 0-5 in its first season in the Atlantic 10 after today's 31-point loss to St. Joe's. Ramblers are allowing an average of 85.4 PPG in conference play.

Different weight class than the MVC.

UConn has lost 4 of the last 5. Went from being ranked #2 in the AP poll to probably around #20-25.

Correct me if I am wrong, but when you add a team to your conference in order to strengthen the conference, you are not expecting them to completely fall down and start off 0-5 in league play in one of the weakest years for the A10 in recent memory. Not a good sign for the future prospects of Loyola IMO.

I am not convinced that the A10 has any idea what they are doing regarding A10 expansion. You could argue that the A10 is 0 for 3 with Loyola, George Mason, and Davidson.

Torvik end of season projections for this year:

Loyola...#249
Davidson...#174
GM...#140

Davidson hasn't finished at #174 or worse since 2010 when they were still in the Southern Conference before they joined the A10.

The A10 rode Davidson and McKillop to sucess, but there is uncertainty now that McKillop has retired IMO. Adding Davidson might have been a short-sighted decision.

An Alabama player was arrested on capital murder charges. It does make you thankful that AG does seem to recruit decent people. It also makes you shake your head that many college coaches, in many sports, sell their souls for these kind of kids.

Let’s keep an eye on this storyline- I’m sure the Miller bros are likely interested in him if this guy gets acquitted.

Loyola is projected by Torvik to finish in dead last place in the A10 this year at 4-14 in league play and 10-20 overall.

Is there anybody on this board that would still add Loyola if they had a chance to get in a time machine, go back to last year, and have a chance to not add Loyola?

Loyola was added as a geographic play IMHO. If they were in Springfield, IL (for example) I am not sure they would be in the A10 now

Ok, but again, I am skeptical about adding a team based upon geography. Does our recruiting really get a huge boost from the league having Fordham in NYC and Loyola in Chicago?

Fordham has been a huge drag on the league in terms of their win/loss record for basically the entire time Dayton has been in the A10.

And Loyola could become a team that is perennially in the bottom half of the A10. There are no guarantees in life. Loyola’s attendance is kind of sketchy/up and down, they lost their head coach that led them to almost all their recent success, they suck this year, etc.

You could argue that adding Loyola, Davidson, and GM were all short-sighted, poor, flavor-of-the-week decisions.

Almost nobody in NYC and Chicago watches or cares about Fordham and Loyola basketball.

Why was the A10 in such a rush to add Loyola? Loyola wasn't going anywhere, there is no other league, other than the A10, that was going to be an upgrade for them. The Big East doesn't want them, the BE already has DePaul. The A10 should've waited 5? more years to see if the new coach could keep things rolling before adding them.

And the same thing should've happened with GM and Davidson. Wait until McKillop retired or left and wait until Larranaga left GM, give it another 5 years, and then evaluate what happened in those 5 years.

And if the new coach can't keep things rolling, then don't add them to the A10. There is nothing wrong with adding nobody.

We are better off at 12 teams than adding 3 more poor/mediocre teams to get to 15.

Right now, I would add nobody other than maybe Wichita State. Wait and see on Belmont and Murray State in the MVC.

I agree with you on most of this, especially GM, and I think Loyola will probably end up being a bad choice as well. But has Davidson been that terrible of an addition to the league? They have three NCAA appearances since joining the league (we have four in that same time frame) and three NIT appearances (we also have three). They have an A10 tourney championship to our none and two regular season championships to our three. They have only finished under .500 in league play once. Seems they are better than all but maybe two or three teams in the A10 since joining.

Yes, I realize that. It is just that these expansion decisions are really, really big decisions. We are now stuck with Loyola, good or bad, for forever.

The A10 needs to do exhaustive, comprehensive research and analysis of any expansion candidates before pulling the trigger, and I really question if that happened with Loyola, GM, and Davidson. If you can't find close to exactly what you want, then don't pull the trigger.

It's almost like they said: "oh look, there is a shiny, fancy new thing, we've gotta have that right now, let's go get it, who cares about what happens five years from now."

Davidson was regular season champs in their 8th year in the league last year, that's more than five years after they joined so they seem to have held up their end of the bargain. I'm not saying they will be the best team in the league every year and they will probably have their lulls, but there are only two or three teams with better results since they joined the league, so they seem to be less of a worry than those other 11 teams in the league.

No, Davidson has been a great addition since they joined the A10 for the 2014-2015 season, but again, these are long-term decisions. McKillop built almost that entire program. He was there from 1989-2022. What happens now that he is gone? We have no idea what is going to happen. Was the short term success with McKillop worth it if they never get back to that level again?

Teams we add need to ideally have a track record of sucess due to multiple head coaches, at least respectable attendance, and at least a respectable athletics budget. Davidson only checks 2 of those 3 boxes: attendance and budget.

Davidson ncaat appearances:
Pre-McKillop:
1966, 1968, 1969, 1970, 1986

With McKillop:
1998, 2002, 2006, 2007, 2008, 2012, 2013, 2015, 2018, 2022

Even Davidson's budget is on the low end of the A10. A lot of uncertainty with them IMO. McKillop did more with less.

Based on 2018 stats, VCU ($6.1 million); Dayton (5.6); St. Louis (5.6); Richmond (4.9); RI (4.7); Duquesne (4.4); Joe's (4.2); GMU (3.5); Bonny (3.5), LaSalle (3.1); Davidson (2.6) .... could not find Fordham's. Duke is first nationally at 19.5 .... ODU 3.5; Virginia 8.6 ... many Division I's well under 1 million ... again, these numbers are two years old

Budget numbers missing for Fordham, UMass, and GW.

The A10 needs to do exhaustive, comprehensive research and analysis of any expansion candidates before pulling the trigger, and I really question if that happened with Loyola, GM, and Davidson. If you can't find close to exactly what you want, then don't pull the trigger.

It's almost like they said: "oh look, there is a shiny, fancy new thing, we've gotta have that right now, let's go get it, who cares about what happens five years from now."
Seeing as these decision are really, really big. I will contact the league and insure that you are in the loop, and have a vote when these really, really big decisions are made.

Teams we add need to ideally have a track record of sucess due to multiple head coaches, at least respectable attendance, and at least a respectable athletics budget. Davidson only checks 2 of those 3 boxes: attendance and budget.

Davidson ncaat appearances:
Pre-McKillop:
1966, 1968, 1969, 1970, 1986

With McKillop:
1998, 2002, 2006, 2007, 2008, 2012, 2013, 2015, 2018, 2022
Not sure I would call 1998-2022 short term. Coaching change is always a risk, but overall the Wildcats have been a +

Loyola was picked 4th in the preseason coaches poll, nobody saw this coming. Davidson was picked to be middle of the pack, so maybe Davidson bounces back next year.

Florida Atlantic in Conference USA is 17-1.

College of Charleston in the CAA is 19-1.

Kent State is 15-3.

FAU is projected to get an at large bid if they stumble in the CUSA conference tourney. Charleston and Kent are on the bubble if they stumble in their conference tournaments.


Louisville projected to finish at 3-28(1-19 in the ACC). 2-16 right now. That would have to be their worst record ever. What happened there?

Kentucky not projected to make the ncaat either. Bad year in the state of Kentucky.

And Indiana was in such a rush to can Archie and pay him $10 million to hit the road.

The new coach has delivered a First Four 12 seed and a projected 10 seed in the two years that Archie has been gone. Last year they won their First Four game and then got pounded by Saint Mary's in the round of 64, losing by 29 points.

Was it worth it to spend $10 million to get a 12 seed and a projected 10 seed?

And Louisville thought Chris Mack sucked. He looks great right about now.

AM was behind the eightball from the getgo. Just didn't work out. The Hoosiers made the right move. As URI is showing in AM's first year, good players make a good coach better, URI a little shy of the former. Time will tell how it goes, but I expect AM to have success, although hopefully not at the expense of the Flyers.

It seemed very excessive to me to pay Archie $10 million to leave after only four years, especially in light of the struggles with covid. I would have given him at least another year. They could've saved a lot of $ by waiting one more year to let him go.

I think he'll have success at RI, I am not sure how far he can take them, hard to tell.

These big schools want to win big right away with a new coach, a lot of pressure.

Virginia Tech put an end to their 7 game losing streak at home tonight by defeating Duke
78-75. Grant Basile, the former Wright St. Raider led the Hokies with 24 pts.

Our worst game of the season, a 77-49 shellacing, was at the hands of the Hokies and Basile was high point man in that game as well.

Sean Miller doing pretty well his first year. Shaka Smart has Marquette in the top 15 his 2nd year after making the NCAAs his first year. I thought the first 2 years for new coaches were automatically rebuilding years though?

I think that argument or approach was fair up until a few years ago. The popularity of the transfer portal has changed everything. Players like Xavier's Soule' Boum can play at a school like UTEP and then transfer to a bigger program like XU for his final year and make an immediate impact.

The only reason Shaka is at Marquette is because Texas told him to find a new job or get fired. He was terrible in Austin given their resources. Fans wanted him gone a year or two earlier.

I watched that game. I was impressed with the Bonnie’s forward Venning. Farrell played well for them too in his first start of the year. They are well coached and they play disciplined ball. This will be a well fought game when we play them. They had a lot of players leave and quite a few new players, including three transfers. They seem to be coming together and playing well.

Any coach who has the facilities, crowd, budget, history, and expectations of the UD program and fails to lead his team to NCAA in five out of six years should be feeling like the walls are closing in. Because they are. Why cant some of you see this?

We had a nice 26 point win, let's just enjoy it and take a break from griping for a bit. We're gonna be ticked off all the time otherwise until Grant gets fired, or we win the A10T.

Texas to Marquette is like Duke to Seton Hall. Not all P6s are the same. Texas is its own athletic planet with more money ego, and reach than the Sultan of Brunei.

The suggestion was Marquette was smart to hire a coach that can get things done in just two years unlike the long wait with Grant at UD, but that same hire was deemed a liability and told to get lost from the previous job he was at (Texas), which meant Marquette was not hiring anything close to a sure thing. Indiana thought they were hiring a sure thing too with Archie Miller. Just because you won at a previous stop (VCU, UD), doesn't mean the success magically follows. It can, but it often doesn't. Hiring coaches is one part due diligence one equal part good fortune. There are zero guarantee hires at the Dayton level. Archie was a massive calculated risk just like Gregory. Grant brought risk/reward too.

Sometimes you get the bear. Sometimes the bear gets you.

Also see Travis Ford at SLU. He was 5/8 making the ncaat at Oklahoma State plus a single NIT appearance. He will be 1/7 at SLU if he doesn't win the A10T this year. Success at the previous stop doesn't always follow. He also has 2 nit appearances at SLU.

There is no way SLU thought that Ford would be close to 1/7 at this point, they never would have hired him if they thought this was going to happen. Hiring is a bit of a crapshoot.

The VCU coach is 2/5. If he ends up 2/6 after this year, I wonder if he will be on the hot seat?

The A10T will be fiercely contested. Nobody will have an at large bid in the bag, every team will be playing for its life.

Greer is beginning to heat up at St. Joes. He had 31 points/11 reb on Wednesday and 18 points/11 reb today. I saw most of their game against GM today and Greer was a bear driving to the hoop and scoring through lots of contact. He is averaging nearly 17 ppg in the last four games after a very slow beginning including not even starting against the Flyers. So it goes.

Texas also fired Rick Barnes, who went to Tennessee and has been doing pretty well there. Using Texas is not a good example because we're never happy with what we have.

Unfortunately, we’re nowhere near close enough to the Top 25 to be able to take advantage of that instability.

Agreed. At this point in the season that ship has sailed. A pre-season rank means nothing and so far it appears we could be/may be considered IF we went undefeated the rest of the way ...

The Buckeyes are on the bubble, just 3-7 in Big Ten play. Youngstown State with Dwayne Cohill is in first place in the Horizon League, YSU has never made the ncaat. I always think of Jim Tressel when I think of YSU.

Have to believe the SLU fans are at least a little upset with hc Ford after that. Can't believe he isn't on the hot seat at almost 1 ncaat appearance in 7 years.

Gotta give VCU credit for winning at Dayton and at Saint Louis. Other than Baldwin - not very impressed by play of top two teams. A10 sucks this year.

Would probably still have to go 3-0 against those two, guessing that probably won't happen, but you never know, team that played UR maybe, team that played LOC, very iffy.

It figures that Kenny Powers would go 0-4 tonight and 6-8 against us.

Watching Loyola early easily handling Mason. If I had no idea of record and all I had to go on was our game and this game I’d say Loyola may be as tough an out in the A10 as anyone.

Mason looks to have a pretty decent big that could give Daron some challenges.

Ohio State goes down again to Michigan and falls to 11-12. Given the current performance of our Flyers, who would win if UD played OSU right now?

Imagine having OSUs resources, facilities, NIL potential, national branding, history, and talent and being 11-12. Holtmann is 2-10 in games decided by 10 points or less.

Yeah, but he's 5/5 at OSU so far. He is allowed to stumble every now and then.

Yeah and they keep losing in the first(1) or second round(3 times) too. None of this is acceptable here.

What a ridiculous way to try to make a bad point. They aren't nearly in the same competitive position relative to the rest of the Big Ten as Dayton is in the A10. Holtmann hasn't missed a tournament yet at Butler and Ohio State. He's been to the S16. I think he's far from perfect, but if somebody asked for a coach swap, I'd do it. The resumes aren't even close.

If Holtmann is doing such a great job, why are OSU fans screaming (like some Dayton fans) for his head?

I never said he's doing a great job and I really don't care what Ohio State does with their coach. I said it's not comparable to Dayton's situation and he has had more success than Grant over his career. Fans can say what they want, that doesn't make his resume comparable to Grant's. It also doesn't mean that Dayton's position in the A10 is actually comparable to Ohio State's in the Big Ten.

It isn’t about comparable results because the teams situations aren’t comparable at all. It’s all about expected results and OSU fans expect more and should. OSU has the same fans that are screaming for his termination based on their expectations. Id argue they have more right to do so as OSU HAS failed miserably the past 5 years under Holtman.

If UD is expected to make it 4 of 6 with a couple of sweet 16s surely OSU should have at least 1 sweet sixteen in 5 years. The problem on this board is the vocal minority thinks it’s just that easy and anything that keeps it from happening is just an excuse because everyone else has no problems meeting the standard.

Look no further than OSU, X, Butler, DePaul and even Georgetown in the BE to see how hard it actually is to meet these expectations. And these schools all have huge advantages over UD to help meet these lofty expectations. When you can be 4-14 in the big and be on the bubble those fanbases aren’t measuring success by nbr of bids.

I think that's a fair point, although I do question the premise of Ohio State basketball fans existing in general. I agree that they are probably somewhat justified to want more (competing at the top of the conference and not so much living in the 4-5 range, advancing in the tournament) while also acknowledging that Holtmann hasn't really terribly failed until this season. He has been competitive nationally and in Big Ten play and made the tournament consistently. Probably not enough to satisfy those who want to see Matta results, but also not a terrible failure generally. I see that as pretty different from where we are (troubling trends of losing to sub 200 KenPom teams and missing the tournament entirely).

I’d also argue he’s not someone UD fans that don’t like AG should look for in their next coach. With all the advantages in money and recruiting he has at his disposable he’s 3-4 in NCAA and he lost in the opening round as a 2 seed which doesn’t happen very often.

The too vocal minority are stuck in the backup qb love affair scenario. They don’t like the guy in the starting role so they’ll love just about any else (like Holtman) just as long as he’s not the current guy. Problem is the backup QB is usually a backup for a reason and has plenty of warts too if they’d examine him as closely and by the same standards as the current guy.

OSU fans go crazy (maybe even crazier (?) than UD fans) about the results of their teams ... they have bigger money donors than UD will ever dream of. Their voice gets heard that is for certain.

Different school, same behaviors'. Neither is surprising to me.

Unfortunately their fate so far in their season doesn't negate UD's fate in our season.

Yes but it has everything to do with fan expectations and how much if at all they line up with university thinking/actions. There are the way too vocal minority in every fanbase that only see things from their expectations and not actual realities. Thankfully they don’t speak for all like they think they should and even more so for the university decision makers.

Holtmann got ejected in the first half Thursday for arguing with the refs.

LaSalle did UD a solid last night by eating the Bonnie’s. While I know that the A10 is down, it’s still a decent product on TV. The UMass - Fordham game was fun to watch, too. I didn’t see any of the Richmond - GW double OT game, but both teams cracked 100. That’s some fun stuff.

Some competitive games going on in the A-10 today. That’s not a tremendous surprise, since the standings (per my ESPN app) showed 10 of the 15 teams in the conference having league records of between 7-4 and 4-7.

And in last night’s “Battle of the Mattas”, Butler beat the Eggs-heads 69-67 at Hinkle on a Goaltending call in the last 5 seconds of the game. I’ll defer to Rollo to determine (a) if it was a good call, and (b) if any time should have been put back on the clock (since the infraction appeared to take place at about the 4.0 second mark, but X was only given about 2.5 seconds when they inbounded the ball afterward).

T-Bone…great question. I saw this play last night and it’s the craziest ending to a game I can remember.

Keeping in mind that any shot on its downward path cannot be touched by a defender (goaltending), I many times raised the question at officials rules interpretation meetings whether or not you could legally block a dunk. A dunk attempt is considered a shot and since the shooter is throwing the ball down, it’s my contention that any block attempt that makes contact with the ball is goaltending. I got mixed answers at my meetings but the concensus was that blocking a dunk is legal. I disagree, but deferred to the officials/assigners running the meeting.

So last night the X player - with 3ish seconds left in a tie game - blocks an attempted dunk by a Butler player and gets called for goaltending. I agreed but was shocked that the ref, in a tie game, had the balls to make that call. He could have called a foul…could have swallowed his whistle…or could have called goaltending. He did the most controversial…and I loved it! Proved I was right!!!

As for the clock, I wasn’t sure when the whistle blew but I think the 2.5 was a better call than the 4.0 second option. It all depends on the whistle…if I can get away from my bourbon buddies tonite I’ll rewatch the replay and ask the other UD boyz what they think of the call and timing. Stay tuned!

If remember the play correctly the goaltending call was on the second player coming up and hitting the rim during the shot attempt.

I got mixed answers at my meetings but the concensus was that blocking a dunk is legal. I disagree, but deferred to the officials/assigners running the meeting.

So last night the X player - with 3ish seconds left in a tie game - blocks an attempted dunk by a Butler player and gets called for goaltending. I agreed but was shocked that the ref, in a tie game, had the balls to make that call. He could have called a foul…could have swallowed his whistle…or could have called goaltending. He did the most controversial…and I loved it! Proved I was right!!!

As for the clock, I wasn’t sure when the whistle blew but I think the 2.5 was a better call than the 4.0 second option. It all depends on the whistle…if I can get away from my bourbon buddies tonite I’ll rewatch the replay and ask the other UD boyz what they think of the call and timing. Stay tuned!

I saw the play, and correct me if I am wrong, but the X player that made the block was not the player whistled for the infraction. There was a second X player that was involved in the play. That second player touched the rim and/or net during the play, and that touching was whistled for goal tending/basket interference, and the ref said that the blocked dunk counted as a made basket because of that touching.

The call seemed correct to me. It was a clean block IMO, but the second player touched the rim/net, so the basket has to count because of goal tending/basket interference. The TV announcers also thought it was a clean block, but again, the second player touched the rim/net and committed an infraction.

I missed the 2nd player…didn’t pay that much attention. Even though, i don’t understand that call! Unless you shake the rim, making contact with it is hardly worthy of a game deciding call

Maybe not quite this play, but if a player is dunking the ball and the ball is in the cylinder, can an opposing player even legally block the ball since the ball is in the cylinder? Or are all bets off when trying to block a dunk (no third player involved).
