Basketball committee rails against MOV Margin of Victory and neutral locations for state quarterfinal games were the two main topics of discussion during Wednesday's virtual MIAA Basketball Committee meeting. Much of the meeting was spent discussing options for altering the margin of victory cap, which is set at 10 points. 'Our committee suggested 1 [point max MOV] but that hasn't been supported by the [Tournament Management Committee],' said Dover-Sherborn boys' basketball coach Rick Grady , one of the coaches' reps on the committee. 'Maybe we could suggest a smaller number than 10? We've heard of situations where teams didn't foul at the end of games if you're down 4 or 5 and are afraid of losing by 10.' Advertisement Whitman-Hanson athletic director Bob Rodgers , a vocal opponent of the MOV, expressed reticence to changing the number on the fly. 'I will grant that the results have been OK,' Rodgers said. 'I wouldn't want to change it so the results aren't OK, but we're still dealing with MOV. Until it's fixed, I'd rather not touch it, even though I used to be a proponent for making it 1.' Related : Always pragmatic, St. Mary's AD and girls' basketball coach Jeff Newhall stepped in. 'It's a waste of time to try to reduce it to 1, it's not going to happen,' he warned. 'But maybe two possessions plus one? Whether that's 5 or 7? There may be some changes we could make, like in lacrosse where they changed it from 10 to 7.' MIAA liaison Peter Smith explained that the numbers have been crunched with MOV set at 5 and 7, noting that switching to an MOV of 7 would have resulted in the same boys' basketball teams making the tournament in all five divisions, although their seedings would have shifted. On the girls' side, two teams would have moved into the playoff brackets, with two teams moving out across five divisions. 'I've seen [the data] at 5 and 7 and there's very little change,' Newhall said, also noting that running the data with a small boost for wins also produced negligible changes. Related : Advertisement The committee decided to review data of every possible MOV between 1 and 10 before reconvening in the fall to craft a proposal for the TMC. Last fall, the committee voted unanimously for neutral sites in the Round of 8, but were denied by the TMC. But after hockey's quarterfinals were moved to neutral sites, there was hope on the basketball committee that the TMC would reconsider. 'I'm optimistic it could change,' said Newhall. 'It's on the [TMC] docket.' For those data-lovers out there: The 2024-25 MIAA basketball season featured 6,993 regular-season games, followed by 417 tournament games. On the boys' side, 58.4 percent of teams qualified for the tournament, while 62 percent of the girls' teams reached the playoffs. 7. College corner Medfield graduate Jack Goodman , a junior shortstop at Northeastern, was named All-Coastal Athletic Association for a second straight season, earning a spot on the first team with a .333 average, 10 homers, and 49 RBIs. Three position players earned First Team honors - Cam Maldonado and Jack Goodman each join Harry on the All-CAA First Team, both earning All-Conference honors for the second time in their careers! 🎉 — Northeastern Baseball (@GoNUbaseball) Joining Goodman on the All-CAA First Team were a trio of Northeastern pitchers from the Bay State: Aiven Cabral , a St. Mary's graduate, Will Jones , a Hamilton-Wenham graduate, and Charlie Walker , a Milton graduate. Cabral, a junior righthander, went 10-2 with a 2.45 ERA and 69 strikeouts in 80⅔ innings. Jones, a lefthanded gradate student, went 10-0 with a 1.99 ERA and 69 strikeouts in 63⅓ innings. Cabral and Jones tied the Northeastern program record for single-season wins. Walker, a junior righty, was 3-0 with a 1.27 ERA and 49 strikeouts in 42⅔ innings. Jordan Gottesmann , a lefthanded graduate student from Acton-Boxborough, was named to the All-CAA second team and senior Brett Dunham , a North Andover graduate, was an honorable mention. Advertisement Bryant third baseman Pat D'Amico , a St. John's Prep graduate from Lynnfield who previously played at Holy Cross, was named to the All-America second team after hitting .247 with eight homers and 39 RBIs in 43 games. He made just two errors in the field for a .961 fielding percentage. Congrats to Charlie Saul, Pat D'Amico and Gavin Noriega on earning Second Team All-America East honors! — Bryant Baseball (@_BryantBaseball) Bryant's Kyle Rizy , a Worcester Academy graduate from Fiskdale, was also named to the All-America second team as a reliever after posting a 7-0 record, 3.53 ERA, and 39 strikeouts in 35⅔ innings. UMass Dartmouth senior Connor Richard , a Plymouth North graduate, was named to the 2025 USTFCCCA All-Region Team for the fourth time after winning a Little East title in the javelin. Corsairs freshmen Ancil Alexander , a Taunton High graduate, and Sean Patrone , a Wilmington graduate, were named to the All-Region team for the first time after Alexander was a Division 3 New England champion in the discus and shot put and Patrone won a Little East championship in the high jump.
