Pick for Pride or pick to be snide, it's the seemingly semi-annual Pick the New Coach contest!
Contest Question:
Who will be the next men's basketball head coach at Siena College?
Tie Breaker:
Guess the date and time that the new coach will be FIRST publicly ANNOUNCED (not the start date). Rumors and guesses, especially if they come from Rodger Wyland or Steve Amedio, DO NOT COUNT! In order to be valid the announcement must be posted on Siena's official website or stated by an official from Siena in a press conference.
RULES:
1) You may only make one guess.
2) EDITS are NOT allowed. This is too ward off cherry pickers once the announcement is imminent. It may be to your advantage to wait before making your selection.
3) Your Tie-breaker can not be closer than 1 hour to a competitor's earlier entry, or it will be invalidated. Here is where it may be to your advantage to pick sooner.
4) If a tiebreaker is necessary (it likely will be) the winner will be the eligible entrant with the correct coach AND the closest to the actual announcement date and time, whether that entry is earlier OR later than the actual time of public announcement.
5) I reserve the right to end the contest at any time once an announcement appears to be imminent, but the contest will not end later than 3/31/2013.
6) As always, the winner receives pride, unless the coach ends up tanking, at which point I will send you a dozen rotten eggs in my mind.
EXAMPLE OF FORMAT:
