Hoops Round-up
CIAA One piece of big news in the CIAA is Shaw's loss of league-scoring leader Curtis Hines (20.2 ppg.) who was ruled by the NCAA to have used up his eligibility. Otherwise the January part of the regular season is winding down without a lot of separation between teams in both divisions. This past week, Bowie State (2-1 North) posted wins over Virginia Union (80-71) and Chowan (80-74) to get back in the North Division race. Virginia State handed Elizabeth City State its first loss in the division (70-59). BSU, ECSU and VSU now enter this week tied atop the North at 2-1. BSU and VSU tangled this Wednesday. VSU is at Lincoln Saturday while Bowie State is at ECSU. In the South, Johnson C. Smith was the big winner, getting narrow home wins over Saint Augustine's (84-80) and Livingstone (76-73), while Winston-Salem State, Livingstone and Fayetteville State split two games. The longjam at the top now has JCSU, WSSU, Livingstone and FSU at 2-1. WSSU hosted JCSU Wednesday before travelling to Livingstone Saturday. MEAC North Carolina Central (5-1)

Apparently, winning was not enough for Jackson State but it appears to be plenty for SWAC East Division rival Mississippi Valley State as the school announced last week that it had hired successful former JSU head football coach Rick Comegy as the Delta Devils new head man. Despite compiling a 55-35 mark over eight seasons including an 8-4 mark this season and appearances in the last two SWAC Championship Games, Comegy was fired by JSU in midDecember. The school said that decision was not based on wins and losses but cited lack of local recruiting and discipline as reasons for his dismissal. JSU endured three years (2008-11) of NCAA sanctions including loss of scholarships, practice time and postseason bans for low Academic Progress Rates (APR) while Comegy was head coach. The school also said it was looking for someone familiar with Jackson State culture and followed through by hiring former JSU standout Harold Jackson as its new head man. Comegy moves on to head a SWAC program that has not won a division championship nor made an appearance in the league championship game since the conference went to that format in 1999 and has had just three winning seasons since 1990. He replaces Karl Morgan,

Comegy's winning record good enough for MVSU

BCSP Notes

who was 8-35 in his four seasons at the institution including 2-10 this past season. Morgan's contract was not renewed. "You're always a little bit hurt," Comegy told the Jackson Clarion-Ledger of his firing from JSU but said in an ESPN interview that he feels good about what he accomplished with the resources he was given. "It's not just about winning on the football field, but in the classroom," Comegy said upon his hiring at MVSU. "I know a lot of people just say that. But if you're not winning in the classroom, then you're going to have a hard time on the field." Comegy earned $191,580 annually from Jackson State after an extension in 2012. Financial terms of Comegy's contract were not released last week, but MVSU director of athletics Dianthia Ford-Kee said it is a four-year deal.
