All-WCC Teams Announced

but he could coach

hhmmm... I recall watching many a game in Rob's later tenure where he repeatedly ran "The Flex" offense to no end while the defense simply switched the flex cut screen eliminating the open cutter and forced us to throw up desperation 3 pointers as the shot clock expired. Did he have the right athletes to run his offense the way he wanted it run?...probably not. Was he a good coach or bad coach - I don't know, but I will say for right or wrong, I think a big piece of coaching success at the collegiate level is determined by how well the head coach and his staff can recruit and the the bottom line is Rob was unable to maintain his early level of success. Personally, from what I've seen from Reveno, I feel much more confident in our program's continued success with Rev at the helm.

Rob Jones Saint Mary's Jr. F
Mickey McConnell Saint Mary's Sr. G
Nemanja Mitrovic Portland Jr. G
Robert Sacre Gonzaga Jr. C
Luke Sikma Portland Sr. F
Michael Williams San Francisco So. G

Honorable mention: Perris Blackwell, USF; Elias Harris, GON; Lorne Jackson, PEP; Jared Stohl, POR; Vernon Teel, LMU; Mychel Thompson, PEP; Drew Viney, LMU

The preseason coaches' picks for all conference were:
Keion Bell, G, 6-3, Jr., Pepperdine University
Matthew Dellavedova, G, 6-4, So., Saint Mary's College
Kevin Foster, G, 6-2, So., Santa Clara University
Steven Gray, G, 6-5, Sr., Gonzaga University
Elias Harris, F, 6-7, So., Gonzaga University
Mickey McConnell, G, 6-0, Sr., Saint Mary's College
Jared Stohl, G, 6-2, Sr., University of Portland
Vernon Teel, G, 6-4, Sr., Loyola Marymount University
Marc Trasolini, F, 6-9, Jr., Santa Clara University
Drew Viney, F, 6-8, Jr., Loyola Marymount University

Bell obviously imploded. Trasolini was a disappointment, too. Six players made All-WCC who were not listed by the coaches in preseason: Rashad Green, Rob Jones, Nemanja, Rob Sacre, Luke, and Michael Williams. Two surprising Dons helps explain their unexpected league performance.
