Another Season Comes and Goes

Men's Basketball - Mar 03, 2010

This was a really rewarding season for me.  I will tell you why.  The least amount of games I have ever won in a season is 15, and have done that 3 times, so in reality from a record stand point, wasn’t what we were hoping for, but let me tell you why this was a great year.  [Read More]

Semifinals of the Conference Tournament

Men's Basketball - Feb 25, 2010

Well the conference tournament is upon us again.  We look forward to this game against Wartburg.  They have a real nice team and are always a tough opponent.  They are well coached and Coach Peth and I have gone up against each other many times in these kinds of games over the years.  We have coached against each other for 13 years.  He does a real nice job.  The two games we have played this year, have been blowouts in the 2nd half by the home team.  I expect it will be a close game this time.

Senior Day on Saturday

Men's Basketball - Feb 19, 2010

It is another night of Senior Night at BVU on Saturday.  It is hard to believe that these four seniors are already almost done.  They are tough guys and are solid leaders.  They are team first people, and that is why we have had a good year, and the reason we have never given up.

A Long Week Finished

Men's Basketball - Feb 16, 2010

Last week was a mentally draining week for my family and I, especially my wife.  My mother in law, Irene Dokter, passed away a week ago Sunday, and of course, it has been tough.  Spent a lot of time with my wife’s family, and had the funeral last Wednesday.  My wife went back up to Sioux Center on Saturday and spent a couple of days with my father in law.  As most of you fans know, my in laws did not miss many home games, so we need to keep my father in law coming to the games this week.  Barb and I want to express our thank you to all who had kind words, cards, and emails.  It really means a lot.

Alumni Weekend is Great

Men's Basketball - Feb 09, 2010

My most favorite weekend of the basketball season is always Alumni Weekend.  We had 20 guys back and honored the 2000 team for the best season is school history.  The Alumni put it on our JV team.  Now you have to know, that our JV team has been real solid this year with a 12-2 record, but our Alumni put it on us by a score of 84-67.  Mike Cameron led the way with 19 pts.   It went so well for them, that even Chris Petersen and Matt Janssen made 3’s, which that now gives Pete one for his career.  Anyway, we had a get together after the game and it was just a great time reliving old memories, and talking about our team now.[Read More]

Loras comes to town playing the best basketball in the conference over the last month.  They have won 8 of 9 games.  They beat Cental a week or two ago, and is the only team to beat them over the last month.  Loras and Central play in Pella next Wednesday. Will be another fun matchup for them.

Always a War at Luther

Men's Basketball - Feb 02, 2010

Luther is one of our favorite places to play over the years, as they have a nice facility, the floor is nice, but for some reason the game is always low scoring and not very pretty.  [Read More]

To Luther We Go

Men's Basketball - Jan 29, 2010

The journey continues to Luther tomorrow afternoon.  We will leave after practice to stay overnight in Decorah.  I like these trips, as it gives us a chance to relax together as a team tomorrow morning.  Have a short meeting and go over last details, and then have our pregame meal and play after the women’s game.  It makes a long trip feel better when you get there the night before.  I am sure the poker game in the back of the bus will be at its finest tonight.  Not too many more road games left, so the enjoyment starts to heighten a little bit more.  We love to travel, we really do.
