OK let's try this on for size. When Witchita State ran an exhibition team last year in D2 at SCT (and despite what Mueller tells you what he thinks happened with this is just WRONG), they were listed on the NAQT site as having their wins not count because of the ineligible player and the individual stats were expunged. Now BY DEFINITION, the point of being an "exhibition" is that the wins and losses count for squat. The individual stats would then too. But NAQT awarded Meigs a scoring title, as a result of his COMPETITIVE performance. His and UCLA's stats are also listed on the NAQT site http://naqt.com/Results/2003-ict-divii-results.html So, basically NAQT (conciously or not) broke with how it treated Witchita and basically (intentionally or not) misrepresented to everyone what that UCLA team was. Course this is what we get for insisting on coddling newbies for a year by even having D2 to begin with. But that's a separate thread. Sean Phillips talking for himself, the crazy homeless lady on my street with a killer mullet, and the mouse living in my stove.
