[QUOTE=MKNiner;332916]I was surprised by this. Really a shot at Bobby by her. Kind of surprising that sheâd do it so publically.[/QUOTE]
I agree though. This is an outrage, and and embarrassment to both programs that this game is not happening.

I donât know that Iâd go that far. Iâm ticked about it as well but if Davidson was trying to play pre-madonna with the date and wanted us to play after weâd been on the road for 10 days I donât blame Bobby for saying no. Why should he put our team in that situation?
We had an agreed upon date. They decided theyâd rather play in the Jimmy V. Fine, but donât expect us to just accomodate you to our detriment.
[QUOTE=4t9er;332913]Maybe UNCW?[/QUOTE]
Nope. UNCWâs November-December schedule is locked in with the maximum number of games allowed. The only thing Benny is waiting on is finding out if their hotel on South Padre Island will reopen after the storm in time for them to stay there. (The tournament also has made backup hotel arrangements already.)
I donât want to blame anyone but Charlotte vs Davidson is a game that both sides should pretty much have a set date to play on every season, ie: the first Wednesday every December.

I see what youâre saying, but WE HAD A SET AGREED UPON DATE!!! Backing out of a committment like that is absolutely PATHETIC.
Until both sides sign the game contract, nothing is ever firm. And in this case, Davidson holds the contract since it is their home game. Our multiyear deal with them ended last season and Davidson lost two OOC games with the addition of Samford to the Southern Conference.
Once again⌠large conferences are the devil!

Thatâs why I blame them. They backed out.
If they wanted to play in the Jimmy V., thatâs fine⌠they say âHey, weâve been offered this. Can we change the date?â If we can accomodate it, yes, thatâs fine. If not, then they keep their commitment. We didnât back out of anything. They should pay us a cancellation fee.
A little background here. The network (and MSG) invited us to play in New York. Canât hardly turn that down. Also, the SoCon has us playing that silly 20 game conference schedule. We voted against it, but it passed. We have to live with it, although we donât like it.
Davidson rearranged their schedule a couple of years ago to accommodate Charlotte when they had a change. It doesnât appear that Coach Lutz worked very hard to ask Winthrop (or another school) to move the game date.
HP49er has a good idea. A set date may work pretty well for future games.
I think there is something else there that we all donât know about as well.

A set date, in Bobcats arena. Should have started years ago. This should not have happened.
One trip to the E8 and theyâre suddenly too big for the team thatâs pwnd them for years. Hmmm. I hope they get demolished in the first round.

[QUOTE=4t9er;332913]Did you guys notice the jab Judy took at Bobby. Looks like there is still some bad blood here between the two of them. Davidson is gonna be top 25 this year most likely so it would have been a good year to play them. What a shame. I just hope we can replace them with someone good. Maybe UNCW?[/QUOTE]
âWe canât do that, Lutz said. âWe would be playing five away games in 10 days.â
This is why scheduling is controlled by the coaching staff. Otherwise, weâd be playing it after 3 games in 3 or 4 days and traveling across the country. Kind of like playing Fri-Sat or even Fri with an early Sun game to open the season.
I hope they find a date but itâs definitely Davidson who changed the plans.
The schools have not operated with a signed contract by Davidson for at least two years. Thatâs why there are no repurcussions and nothing set in stone. There was a verbal agreement to play Dec. 9-10, Charlotte operated from that premise, Davidson got another opportunity on the same time and took it.
You are reading too much into Judy. It was not a shot at Bobby. It was an attempt to say if the coaching staffs cannot come into agreement perhaps it could be handled by outside parties (athletic directors). Iâm sure if someone in the community took up the challenge that would be welcomed as well.

We play 4 teams in 8 days to open the season (including Clemson), travel to Anaheim on Thanksgiving (Arizona State, Baylor, Wake Forest, St. Maryâs, Providence, etc.) & to Southern Illinois a few days later. So I donât know if the problem is solved by replacing the 12/10 date at Davidson with either Missouri or Arkansas.
What we could really use is a game between December 14th-January 2nd. Right now, the only 2 teams we play during that stretch are Long Island & Youngstown State.

You know Iâm probably going to get run off of NNN for asking this, but does the âcommunityâ of Charlotte really give two craps about Charlotte vs. Davidson? It was a decent following but itâs not exactly like itâs a tough ticket to get when we play. There would have been more interest this year obviously because of Davidsonâs run last year, but overall Iâve not ever got the sense that to Charlotte community at large could even tell you that we were playing, much less seek out a ticket for it.

Iâm sure Davidson AD called Judy during the process and said talk to Bobby, we want this game. It is huge home draw for them. Judy is very competitive. Iâm sure sheâs thinking PAYBACKâŚwe want to show who controls this rivalry. Iâm serious. She doesnât back down in situations like this. She definitely wants to play.
I was thinking about how it might play out. PLay it up in the media and then big announcement: Time warner arenaâŚthe battle of Meck county!!!
I wish.
and who FREAKING CARES is we play Davidson this yearâŚthey usually are a boat anchor on our RPI every season. Props to Lutz for standing his ground, I am sure McKillop was being the chump using his short lived leverage.
You guys have no idea. There has been NO CONTACT with anyone at Davidson other than exchange of emails. Judy hasnât talked to Jim Murphy since the Final Four. Iâm telling you Davidson already has a replacement game in mind. Watch.

I have no trouble believing this. I bet the game was talked about months ago and they were just waiting to drop the bomb.
Theyâre going to milk the Steph Curry era for as much as they can.
