| + | == East Coast All Stars Europe basketball tour with Coach Guy R == | ||
| + | |||
| + | <html>By Mike Lipinski | Aug. 23, 2012 | ||
| + | For the past seven years, Coach Guy Rancourt, head coach at Lycoming | ||
| + | College (D3), has assembled a team of top-level college players for a European | ||
| + | basketball experience that aims to prepare student-athletes for possible professional careers | ||
| + | overseas.?Competing against some elite-level national teams from Europe, | ||
| + | Rancourt?s goal is to educate players in foreign cultures and provide an | ||
| + | introduction to international hoops.<br><br> | ||
| + | Rancourt founded The East Coast All Stars in the summer of 2006 while working | ||
| + | as an assistant coach at Stony Brook University (D1) in New York. Since then the | ||
| + | team has visited and competed in Holland, Belgium, Denmark, Sweden, Austria, | ||
| + | Slovakia,[http://edhaiti.net/wiki/index.php/Utilisateur:Uujoxwjvtwhz#Kate_Middleton_Baby_News-_.27Baby Kate Middleton Baby News- 'Baby], the Czech Republic, France, and Switzerland. Abroad, the ECAS get | ||
| + | the opportunity to study the international game and its subtle rule changes.<br><br> | ||
| + | This summer they departed to Estonia for the Four Nations Cup ? a four-team | ||
| + | event held in Tallinn, Estonia. The competition field included the Republic | ||
| + | of Georgia, the Czech Republic, led by Jan Vesely (#6 pick by Washington Wizards?in | ||
| + | 2011 NBA Draft) and the host country, Estonia.?The Republic | ||
| + | of Georgia alone had three players drafted into the NBA. On top of that, the | ||
| + | Republic of Georgia?s lineup included college stars Jacob Pullen from Kansas | ||
| + | State and former Villanova guard Corey Fisher.<br><br> | ||
| + | The size and speed of the Europeans shocked some of the East Coast All Stars,[http://www.rogaine.jp/wiki/index.php/%E5%88%A9%E7%94%A8%E8%80%85:Renepaley50#Real_fans_flock_to_welcome_record_signing_Bale Real fans flock to welcome record signing Bale], who featured | ||
| + | some undersized players. Jerald Williams is a 5-foot-8 point guard, who starts | ||
| + | for Coach Rancourt at Lycoming College and is among the leaders in several | ||
| + | statistical categories,[http://wiki.sylph.ws/index.php?title=%E5%88%A9%E7%94%A8%E8%80%85:Renepaley51#Final_Fantasy_XIV_is_.E2.80.98Reborn.E2.80.99_in_Latest_Expansion_0 Final Fantasy XIV is ‘Reborn’ in Latest Expansion 0], including assists and steals.<br><br> | ||
| + | ?Our players were surprised of the size and physicality of the game,[http://obdpedia.ru/index.php?title=%D0%A3%D1%87%D0%B0%D1%81%D1%82%D0%BD%D0%B8%D0%BA:Renepaley96#Respect_the_Game-_Pettis_Needs_to_Fight_TJ_Grant_First Respect the Game- Pettis Needs to Fight TJ Grant First],? Rancourt | ||
| + | said of Williams? experience overseas. ?The speed of the game took him by | ||
| + | surprise... A shooting guard Jerald is going up against would be 6-foot-7 and be just as fast as him.?<br><br> | ||
| + | Some of the players who stood out for the E.C.A.S were Duke teammates Quinn | ||
| + | Cook and Marshall Plumlee; Juwan Staten, who led the Atlantic 10 in assists and | ||
| + | then transferred to West Virginia, and Nick Faust from Maryland who led the | ||
| + | team in scoring.<br><br> | ||
| + | Having to deal with some last minute roster changes due to academics, the | ||
| + | ECAS struggled against the competition for a fourth place finish. In a double-overtime win over the Republic of Georgia, Quinn Cook from Duke University, had 29 | ||
| + | points, 7 rebounds, and 3 steals, including the buzzer-beating floater that sent | ||
| + | the game into a second overtime. Cook ? who will be a sophomore for Coach K?s | ||
| + | Blue Devils ? was also named to the All Cup Team.<br><br> | ||
| + | Although the ECAS came in fourth place,[http://wiki.rocid.ru/index.php?title=%D0%A3%D1%87%D0%B0%D1%81%D1%82%D0%BD%D0%B8%D0%BA:Renepaley68#Obama_Gun_Control-_Executive_Order_Causes_.27Outrage.27 Obama Gun Control- Executive Order Causes 'Outrage'], the players got some valuable | ||
| + | experience playing against grown men and were offered a taste of what | ||
| + | professional basketball overseas might be like. Which is the main goal of the entire experience.<br><br> | ||
| + | ?Brad Redford in particular stood out to me, as he summed it up, as for someone | ||
| + | who has the desire to play after college and the NBA not being accessible,? | ||
| + | Rancourt said. ?He gained valuable experience of playing overseas and knowing | ||
| + | what areas of his game he has to work on.?<br><br> | ||
| + | The All Stars are invited back to compete next year in the Four Nations Cup.<br><br> | ||
