[Da Coach]

Jim answered a few questions about the game in Milwaukee, and how he appealed to his team at halftime to get them to make a comeback.

He talked a little about the upcoming game against SIU-E, and how it's tough to face an old friend as an opposing coach in Lennox Forrester.

He also mentioned that none of the coaches in the MVC are close at all. They don't talk to each other like maybe some coaches in other conferences do, and even when they run inbto each other while recruiting, there is very little conversation, which he described as uncomfortable. He believes it is because the MVC coaches try to "beat each other's brains in". I also think it's because the MVC coaches sub-consciously are competing to get better jobs, unlike coaches in the Big Ten and Big East, and most haven't been in their jobs very long.

...the coaches in the MVC are close at all. ....

there apparently are exceptions, as Steve Merfeld and Jim Les & Ken Kavanagh were very good friends, and I would suppose Dana Altman & Kevin McKenna have remained friends.
