West Coast Revival: Rebuilding The WAC

[JMD]

WEST COAST REVIVAL: REBUILDING THE WESTERN ATHLETIC CONFERENCE

This dynasty will involve the rebuilding of the Western Athletic Conference into a basketball powerhouse (Alaska-Anchorage will be added in as the 'extra' team in the game.) The 2014-15 season will be simulated with no reports and Duke's recent real-life title may be retconned as a result. Personalities from previous JMD dynasties will also be included in this dynasty, such as Grand Canyon's head coach Josh Drake.

HEAD COACHES:

Alaska-Anchorage: Dorijan Gutic (Sarajevo, Bosnia & Herzegovina)
Cal State-Bakersfield: Ryan Leslie (Santa Ana, California)
Chicago State: Tony De Palma (Chicago, Illinois)
Grand Canyon: Josh Drake (Grover, North Carolina)
Kansas City: Weston Mitchell (The Bronx, New York)
New Mexico State: Colin Derrick (Calgary, Alberta, Canada)
Seattle: Andrew Tullinger (Spokane, Washington)
Texas-Rio Grande Valley: Jesus Mendez (Mexico City, Mexico)
Utah Valley State: Shawn Whitney (Portland, Oregon)

(At the parking lot in Indianapolis...)

JD: Well, it looks like it's over for me this year... I lost to Charlotte...

AT: Hey champ, how'd you do? Did ya annihilate the whole field?

JD: Obviously not

AT: What? WHAT? You didn't annihilate the field? But you were almost undefeated for the year!

JD: That was an easy schedule, Andrew. That's the same reason Wichita State went undefeated for the regular season last year...

AT: Anyway, are you gonna talk more about Atheism now that you're eliminated?

JD: Like that's all I talk about...
