The Legacy of Coach Nolan (ch2k8)

How long is the legacy mode Im in my 22 nd year and i am afraid it will end soon.

Louisville, KY January 18, 2016 15-1 (5-1) 101 - 64 8-10 (2-4) CARDINALS WIN NOLAN #200 Aras Hollins provided a big spark off the bench to keep the Friars at bay. 1st 2nd Final Providence 27 37 64 #10 Louisville 46 55 101 In just 283 games in his 9th season coaching, Coach Nolan has made it to the milestone of 200 wins. There is no way to overestimate the beat down Louisville put on Providence last night, pulling out a thirty-seven point victory in Freedom Hall. With the victory, Nolan moves to 200-83 career with a 71% win percentage. If Nolan can keep it up, and it looks like he will be able to, he could be on his way to shatter all-time coaching records. Chas Dennehy was back to form after his foul-laden game earlier in the week against Cincinnati. Dennehy recorded a double-double with a game high 18 points and 10 assists while also mustering up 7 rebounds and 6 steals. Chas only shot 6 for 17 from the field, but cashed in shooting 6 for 6 from the free throw line. While Emmitt Austin struggled with foul trouble in the early goings, Major Dillard stepped in in a big way. Dillard recorded 18 points, 5 reboudns, 1 assist, and 4 steals all in just 17 minutes of play. Austin was in foul trouble early and ended the game 1 away from fouling out, and Dillard was very eager to try to take back his starting role. Providence's only real scoring threat is Kendrick Eitutavicius and Dennehy was able to keep him under control the entire game. Eitutavicius only recorded 8 points, 1 rebound, and 4 assists while he had his pocket picked 7 times on the day. The Friar offense shot very well from the floor, but it is very hard to win against a Cardinal defense that forces 35 turnovers on 30 steals in a single game. "I am ecstatic that the guys played the way they did today for my 200th win," Coach Nolan exclaimed. "It means a lot that the starters told me they wanted to make this game special and insisted on being put back in the game. No knock to Providence, but there was no way I could make the guys sit on the bench. Hollins and Dillard had great games off the bench too, I hope we can play the rest of our games with this much enthusiasm!" The next match up for Louisville is a tough Pittsburgh Panther team. Pitt is ranked #21 and sits at 14-4 overall and 3-2 in Big East play. While most of the Cardinals points came off of beating the press last night, Pitt rarely presses and runs a very slow paced offense. Main focus will need to be put on Leon Massie, the strong forward who averages 16.9 points, 5.7 rebounds, and 1.9 blocks per game. Other attention will need to be focused on Malone and Wells who average 11.2 and 11.1 points per game respectively. Pitt Lost to UConn in conference play two weeks ago, but have followed it up with two big wins over St. John's and Cincinnati and hope to get another big win against the Louisville Cardinals. Louisville will need to buckle down on defense to force turnovers and win the rebounding battle to stand a chance against Pitt next week.
