Union Street Hoops

[talksalot]

Other notables seen around the ARC recently?   Kevin Mackey?  Joey Meier?

And Mackey would be scouting for who?

according to wikipedia:

In 2004, Mackey was hired as a scout for the Indiana Pacers of the NBA. Pacers basketball operations president Larry Bird, whose early days with the Boston Celtics coincided with Mackey's tenure at Boston College, had long admired Mackey. He'd originally gotten in touch with Mackey in 2002 during his abortive bid for what became the Charlotte Bobcats.[5] Mackey is still with the team as of the 2013-14 season.[11]

A new episode is available.  Good stuff ... I really enjoy these and hope they continue throughout the season.

I'll throw in my kudos on these podcasts. Very entertaining.

[VU2014]

@FauxmerDrew guys on the last podcast! Hilarious!

[chef]

great stuff...said they've followed Valpo basketball for six years. Thus they're likely former students who graduated a couple of years ago. Perhaps a VU2014.

They went to school in Nebraska - they aren't former students.

"NWI Times reporter Paul Oren is joined by a pair of special guests to preview the 2016-17 Horizon League season. Former Horizon League Director of Communications Bill Potter talks about a litany of conference topics. ESPN broadcaster Jordan Bernfield then joins the program to preview Friday's nationally-televised game between Valparaiso and UIC."

This was my favorite episode yet. Tarrance Price had some great things to say about following the Sweet Sixteen team as well as hitting four 3-pointers in 54 seconds to beat Oakland in Kampe's first trip to the ARC.

[M]

Price was our C team coach in high school.

[valpotx]

For the next Oakland game, can you get Phil Wille on, in order to discuss his Oakland experience ?  Two big men sprawled out on the floor, lanky arms/legs flying.  That was greatness.  I believe that he is an Associate Director of Compliance at Ohio State now.

[VU2014]

Great podcast. For a more recent Alumni its great to hear from the former players like Tarrance Price that were a little before my time.

Guess who else gave the Podcast a listen lol

Now we really need Tarrance to deliver game ball!

[valpotx]

PO referenced Valpo fans not liking Kampe.  I don't know if that is true or not, but I have never had an issue with him.  I do think that he is a more approachable/honest coach than most D-1 coaches.  He does give second/third chances to some people with Legal/violence issues, but I can't fault him for believing in such a thing.  The thing that I most make fun of is STL's man love for him, however .

[M]

STL is joined by PO in his heterosexual man crush on King Kampe. 😂

Kampe seems like a fun coach...not sure if I'd want him as my coach but he does a great job for them. He does have a challenger for sideline antics this year from UIC's Skeletor coach though.

[FieldGoodie05]

Kampe is a good guy back in Rochester, but not well known.  Having spent my first 18 years there, we never heard much on the negative side.  During those years in the 80s and 90s OU was more of a commuter school, so most attention went to MSU and U of M.

I respect the man, he's up front and seems honest.  What's not to like when he talks about emulating VU all these years?  He's sort of like a little brother of Homers...always wanting to be like Homie 😉

Been on this forum since the chaos of Drew-gate...can't say I've heard much Kampe bashing in that time.

P.S.  The one similar example (though opposite) that comes to mind is VU to Butler.  We respect their program, develop our program and they shut the door on our face when we begin to give them real competition.  Sure hope that doesn't happen with the VU or Oakland series as conferences come and go.  Rivalries are the lifeblood of sport. 

I can get behind some Butler bashing...THEY B PUNKS!  Albeit, good punks.

[valpotx]

The difference between Valpo/Oakland and Valpo/Butler is that we continued to play Oakland after we left the Mid-Con/Summit (they were still in The Summit), even when we were losing to them.

[bbtds]

even when we were losing to them.

If you hadn't noticed WE ARE STILL LOSING TO THEM and even if we had Hammink not throwing the ball away so much, Jubril on the floor, Alec doing enough good stuff to be close to a win, the Grizzlies are too athletic and hit too many threes to beat them no matter which team we put out on the floor.

[valpotx]

My post was before the game started, and speaking to the string of victories they had against us before they joined the HL

I hope they decided it doesn't matter if Valpo fans care or don't care about what the Drews are doing at their new places.

Parker and I breakdown some of the biggest games of Peters' career. Any other games stand out for you?

Haven't listened yet, but the freshman year Evansville tornado game instantly comes to mind. Also, the Cleveland State game at the end of the year where Peters knocked down a 3 while getting fouled to ice the game and give Valpo the regular season championship.

Then last year the clutch baskets at UWM and UWGB during the last week of the year.

Oh, and scoring like 30 points in 20 minutes vs Maine.
