Reminder From Dennis Scott (Sport
Chair)
When
games are completed on Saturday, Feb. 28, remember to fax or e-mail me
your Region Champion form and your At-Large Bid form as soon as
possible. Don’t forget to include
the team’s season schedule with results. I will compile
all necessary information and get it out to each of you for voting.
Remember that all voting will be
done by e-mail and there will be three votes. Keep
checking your e-mail regularly throughout Saturday
evening/Sunday morning into early Sunday afternoon. I will be at
church between 9:00 am and noon (Central time) so you may not get
anything between those times. You will be receiving information that
will help you vote and then receiving the results of the voting a
short time after everyone has returned their vote to me. I will
usually give a time frame within which I would like to have each vote
returned to me.
First vote
will be for the Top 4 seeds (selected from the 8 regional champions).
Second vote
will be for the At-Large spots.
Third vote
will be to seed spots # 5 – 12.

about who qualifies to put an At-Large bid in for Nationals.
At-Large Teams shall be selected as
follows:
Here is a reminder from the NCCAA Handbook
about how to figure the Power Rating. Take the total number of
points earned according to the regular season schedule and then divide
it by the total number of games played (including the Regional
Tournament games).

Dear Coaches,
Here are updates on information you may
need. Please communicate to the coaches in your region that our
National Coaches meeting will be moved
to the NCCAA Annual Convention in May. This year it will
be in St. Louis. We had 39 schools vote out of 47 members (83%). Out
of those 39 schools, 37 voted to move the meeting to the Convention in
May (95%). I think this is a good move and we will have so many more
coaches involved in the business meeting of men’s Division II
basketball this way. If you want to send an e-mail to the coaches in
your region, that would be great, but you may also be able to remind
them of this change when you have your regional coaches meeting. I am
assuming that you have a regional coaches meeting to select your
All-Region team, select Coach of the Year, collect Scholar-Athlete
certificates, set future schedules and conduct the overall business of
your region. If you do not, make sure you have collected all of the
necessary documents (All-American, Scholar-Athletes, Maravich Award
nominees, Coach of the Year, etc.) and bring them to the All-American
meeting on March 10 in Springfield, MO.
1.
Intent to Participate: I
have received 100% response from only four regions. They are
Mid-West, North Central, Southwest, and West. I need confirmation
from the other regions that you do indeed have an Intent to
Participate from all teams in your region (Central, East, Mid-East,
and South). Please send me an e-mail confirming that you have 100 %
compliance with this deadline for your region. If there are schools
in your region that have not yet complied, please contact them
immediately. Thanks.
2.
Photos/Roster: I should
receive an e-mail this week from Kirk Hanson as to who has not
complied with the deadline to send a team photo and updated roster to
Central Bible College (National Tournament Host). Once I receive
that, I will let you know which teams in your region need to comply
before they are allowed to participate in Regional competition.
3.
Regional Championships: Dates and
Locations: Attached is a document that tells you when and
where the Regional Championships will be played. I am still waiting
to hear from Jon Mack about the details of the East Region and any
scheduling conflicts they may have with their dual-affiliation. The
scheduling and results of the East region’s championship will
determine whether our conference call will be on Sunday, March 1 or
Wednesday, March 4. We will let you know the details as soon as we
know something.
4.
All-American Meeting:
Tuesday morning, March 10 at 10:00 am. This meeting will be held at
the National Tournament Host Hotel. The specific room is yet to be
determined. You will need to be at this meeting or make sure that a
suitable replacement is there to represent your region.
Again, please remind coaches in your
region about the change in our national coaches business meeting.
Thanks for all of the extra work you do. Best wishes for a strong
finish to the regular season and a successful post-season. God
bless.
The Victory is His,
Dennis

------------------
Here are a couple of items for your
attention as we begin the second half of the season. Curt has done a
great job communicating with each of you regarding weekly stat
reports. You all have done well in getting your region summaries to
each other as well. Please remind coaches in your region that they
are required to send a minimum of 3
stat reports between Jan. 15 and Feb. 15 in order to be
eligible to post-season play. Also, they need to send an
updated roster and team photo to Kirk
Hanson at Central Bible College by Feb. 1. I reminded
everyone of this in an e-mail to all coaches earlier this week, but it
doesn’t hurt for each of you to remind them again. I think it is
impossible to “overcommunicate”.
1.
National
Coaches Meeting - As far as the vote goes regarding our
annual coaches business meeting, I have received 25 responses from
either head coaches or A.D.s. The vote currently is 23 in favor of
moving it to the Convention (in May) and 2 in favor of leaving it at
the Tournament (in March). I’ll let you know when I receive more
votes. Please encourage coaches/A.D.s in your region to respond as
soon as possible and no later than Jan. 24 so that I can move forward
with appropriate plans.
2.
Regional
Championship – below is an excerpt from the NCCAA Handbook
(p. 97) that may help you. Please let me know if you have any
questions. Please let me know
which weekend your tournament is being held and where it is being
held. The West Region champion has already been decided
through regular season competition. Because of the distances between
the schools and the fact that there are only 2 schools currently in
the West Region, they were given approval to determine their Region
Champion through regular season play. Southwestern College (AZ)
defeated Multnomah in 3 of their 4 regular season contests so they
will be the West Region representative at Nationals. I will assume
that the West Region will not have an At-Large bid. The East Region
has requested some flexibility with regard to their Region
Championship because of some of the member schools in that region
being dual-affiliated with the NCAA III.
Jon Mack, could you give us an update
as to how and when your region championship will be determined?
If I remember correctly, we may have to have the
Seeding Votes and Conference Call on
Wednesday, March 4 (six days before the National
Championship begins rather than 10 days – Sunday, March 1) as per a
decision by the NCCAA Administration Council at the convention last
May. This was to accommodate the East Region’s request for
flexibility because of dual-affiliation. This may not be necessary,
but Jon Mack should keep us updated as things develop out there. Here
is the excerpt from the handbook.
3.
Pete Maravich Award
nominees – so far, I have received
no responses from coaches who are thinking of nominating a
player for the Maravich Award. Please encourage the coaches in your
region to nominate deserving seniors who meet the criteria. Right now
we just need their names and schools so we can keep an eye on them
throughout the rest of the season. Proper forms can be brought to the
All-American meeting rather than faxed or e-mail to me. Eventually, I
would like some photos, personal statistics/records, and coaches
comments to enhance the presentation of the Maravich Award at the
National Tournament Banquet. We would like to recognize all finalists
who are in attendance before presenting the actual award.
4.
Region Champion Form (click
here)– At the completion of your Regional Championship (I am
assuming that most of them will be held on the weekend of Feb. 26 –
28) you will need to fill out the
Region Champion Form and e-mail or fax it to me
no later than Saturday, Feb. 28.
Please include a season schedule and results. The power rating
formula is as follows: Take the total number of points accumulated
throughout the season and divide it by the total number of games
played.
Power Rating System: The following guidelines shall be used to
determine power rating:
a. Victory over team in NCCAA DI, NAIA, or any level of NCAA - 3
points
b. Victory over team in NCCAA DII, NJCAA, ACCA, or USCAA - 2 points
c. Victory over other intercollegiate team - 1 point
d. Loss by ten points or less to any team in NCCAA DI, NAIA, or any
level of NCAA - 1 point
e. Any overtime loss, regardless of spread, to NCCAA DI, NAIA, or any
level of NCAA - 1 point
f. Forfeiture – 0 points
5.
At-Large Bids (click
here) – Please review the handbook information regarding At-Large
bids (below). We basically need the same information from the
At-Large bid teams as we do from the Region Champion teams. The
proper form filled out with a season schedule and results. This form
should also be faxed or e-mailed to me by
Saturday, Feb. 28.
At-Large Teams shall
be selected as follows:
a. No more than one team from a region. The host team is an automatic
selection and not considered as the at-large bid from their region.
b. No lower than fifth seed in the region.
c. If the #1 seed loses then they are the at-large. If #1 seed wins
the regional tournament, then the #2 or #3 seeds shall be selected if
they are runner-up.
d. If the #1 seed wins and the #4 seed or lower is runner up, then the
#2 seed shall be selected as the at-large team.
e. If teams in the same region are matched in the first round, then
the lower seed shall switch spots with the next lower seed. If the
team is seeded #12, then the #5 and #6 seeded teams shall switch
spots.
f. If the qualifying at-large bid of a particular region declines to
submit a bid, then the next highest seed shall receive the at-large
bid opportunity.
6.
All-American Selections –
The top 5 vote-getters on your All-Region team are eligible to be
nominated for All-American. Please make sure that each of these
players has the proper forms filled out by their coaches. These forms
are found in the NCCAA handbook. You can bring those forms to the
meeting in Springfield. You do not
need to fax them or e-mail them to me.
The All-American meeting will probably
be held on Tuesday morning, March 10 at around 9:00 am.
You are required to represent your Region at that meeting. At this
meeting we will also collect Scholar-Athlete forms, vote for the
National Coach-of-the-Year and the Pete Maravich Award.
7.
Scholar-Athletes – remind
your coaches to fill out the forms for any of their athletes who meet
the criteria for the Scholar-Athlete award. You can bring these forms
with you to the All-American meeting as well. Forms can be found in
the NCCAA handbook. They do not
need to be faxed or e-mailed to me.
8.
Coach of the Year – each
Region selects a COY from their region and he is nominated for the
National COY award. Please check the handbook to make sure the proper
forms are filled out. You can bring this form to the All-American
meeting on March 10.
I am sure that there are
some other things that I may be forgetting, but I thought putting all
of this together for you would be helpful. Please remember that, as
Region Basketball Chair, you are responsible to represent your Region
at the All-American meeting on Tuesday, March 10 in Springfield, MO.
Please let me know if you have any questions. God bless.
The Victory is His,
Dennis
