Archidiacono

Uh, yeah.....that's fair.

Arch is a the Pg on the first place team that is 28-2. I don't have a problem with him. The kid on Butler I don't know much about but that is more questionable.

IMO Dom should have gotten on over Harrison. I love Harrison but he hasn't been himself the past month.

It doesn't matter. It's about the best players and who produced the most. If it was about who has the best record the whole nova starting lineup would be the all big east team. Dom deserved it more than arch, Dunham, and Harrison.

You right, it doesn't matter. The Big East coaches did not want to deny one of the leagues marquee names a place on the 1st team. IMO opinion there should just be an all-league team of 10 players with no 1st or 2nd teams. It has been obvious that Dom has been the major factor in BE play on this team while Harrison and his game have gone south. Harrison has chance to redeem himself in post season.
 
Would be interesting if BE players voted for this team.
 
Dom Pointer and Kris Dunn named BE Defensive POY

Dom Pointer named BE Most Improved POY

I have no idea why Pointer and Dunn are co-winners. But at least Dom is getting his due recognition.

Sir Dom just the second SJU player to be named BE Defensive Player of the Year, after the somewhat odd choice of Mark Jackson in 1987 (you'd think, if they gave it to someone from that era, it would have been Willie Glass, since defense was what he always seemed to be recognized for).
 
Dom deserved first team over Arch and Dunham...probably even Harrison. He was fantastic, and the sole reason we are a better team this season over last.

I'm glad he got co-Defensive POY and Most Improved, but he deserved first team.
 
@moe_harkless: S/I to my brothers @DangeloHarrison and Dom for the all big east honors! Way to represent #SJUBB
 
Hats off to D'Lo and Dom on their well-earned accolades!

Dom got short changed on second team status (a great achievement nonetheless, and one nobody saw coming), but we all need to keep some perspective. I remember a guy who won the Wooden award but could not win BE POY award outright.

That was because coaches were not allowed to vote for their own players, and Thompson, trying to protect Ewing, cast his vote for Pearl Washington (he had heard through the grapevine that the coaches were leaning towards Mullin). Louie played it classy, and chose Ewing, making the final vote, Ewing 4, Mullin 4, Washington 1. If Thompson votes for the right guy, Chris would have gotten it.

Kudos to the coaching staff for whatever they did to help Dom elevate, literally, his game. Well done gentlemen!

And we'll done, Dom. You deserve all the accolades you get.

I told Dee congrats on his First Team All Big East Award, his immediate response: I'm giving it to Dom he deserves it #sjubb

This is the kid that Lavin suspended????
Very classy comment.
 
Wow. DLo such a great and classy guy

I was speaking at the HOF dinner to someone very close to the team who said that he thinks D'Angelo would be a great sports announcer some day. I'd agree. Whatever the next chapter in his life brings, I just want him to have a ton of success.
 
Crazy its actually what I thought he would do. No surprise there.

And Jack, agree about the announcer comment, that has been floated around before.
 
Harrison could make a lot of money coaching or announcing. His personality is off the charts and he's extremely intelligent.

The tats will prove to be a poor decision in retrospect for both endeavors, but is really building himself a great resume to be a respected college color commentator one day.

Id imagine you are an older poster. Tatoos do not and will not natter to the millenial crowd. Harrison's ability to broadcast and his personality will determine his success in the field
 
I have a few thoughts on these BE FIST TEAM AND SECOND TEAM SELECTIONS..

These are my comments, representing my opinions, to which I'm entitled. Those differing, especially the crowd that only resorts to personal venom, they can't help themselves, please keep your comments to yourself.

i never single out a individual poster to scorn or ridicule, unlike many here who are boorish and ill mannered. WE ALL KNOW THEIR NAMES.


honest disagreement is fine, personal gutter sniping is not.

THE HOMERS AND KOOL AID DRINKERS all think they are the only opinions that matter.. MAYBE ON THIS Board, it is true...They seek approval from their like minded and usually get to the insult level rather quickly.

Obviously,many here are as bored by my comments as I AM OF YOURS. BUT, LET'S BE CIVIL OK?

Anyway, HERE GOES;

1. Pointer deserves first team recognition, over DLO in my opinion. Harrison, hobbled by his injuries, got the nod, mainly on past performance. Second team for DLO and move DOM TO FIRST..

2. Posters moaning that the Coaches should not pick the All Star Team are puzzling. Who should then? REDMEN.COM posters? Other school fans? The Media? THe referees?
No, in this case, the COACHES DO KNOW BEST. Does that guarantee a perfect selected team? No, but it is still the best mechanism.

3. Some have posted that Ryan A and Kellem were selected because they are White? And, that the COACHES were biased in picking them? Really? The BE has 3 African American Coaches. If polled separately, I would bet all 3 voted for these 2 kids.

4. ARCHIE D , for those who know BB, is a Premier PG on the best team in the conference. To coin a phrase, for the CATS, he is the straw that stirs the drink. Enough said! If we had him, he would be our most VAluable Player, without a doubt. We have not had a quality PG in so long, we've forgotten what one looks like. He is the real deal. And, believe it or not, even Lavin thinks so..

Kellem, for those who have forgotten, almost beat us single handed at CA EARLY IN THE YEAR.a deadly shooter..

5.COY ? Well surprise. IT IS not Lavin. Some have advanced him as a candidate weeks ago, for what/ FINISHING 5TH ? It will likely be Jay Wright but, the Butler Coach deserves serious consideration..
I remember many here posting that Butler was a poor choice for the new BE Conference.. They had a remarkable year when many thought they would be challenging De Paul or Creighton for bottom dweller status.They are a legit top 25 team..

A final comment.. For those who are PREMATURELY celebrating our making the tournament, consider this..

What if PC beats us by 25 and Xavier wins the BE tournament, not likely but, possible. How many think the NCAA SELECTION team WOULD STILL PICK US? tHINK ABOUT IT..
Nova, G'town, Butler and PC are locks.. We are the 5th team hopefully..

BUT, if a 6th or below team wins the TOURNEY, DO WE STILL GET SELECTED? Think 6 teams get in? I DON'T.

Did anyone mention that Dom was Co-Defensive player of the year with Dunn and also most improved player. Well done Sir!

The NCAA selection committee doesn't go by conference standings and take those top teams, they go by overall body of work. Therefore, your theory is garbage and your pessimism sucks.
