The 1929–30 Georgetown Hoyas men's basketball team represented Georgetown University during the 1929-30 NCAA Division I college basketball season. Bill Dudack coached it in his first and only season as head coach.〔(The Georgetown Basketball History Project: Head Coaches )〕 Georgetown was an independent and, after playing its first two games at Clendenen Gymnasium on the campus of American University in Washington, D.C. – its home court the previous season – played its home games at Tech Gymnasium on the campus of Washington, D.C.s McKinley Technical High School in Washington, D.C., the first Georgetown team to use Tech Gymnasium as its home court.〔(The Georgetown Basketball History Project: Home Courts )〕 It played one home game later in the season at Brookland Gymnasium on the campus of The Catholic University of America in Washington, D.C. ==Season recap== Dudack was a 1921 Georgetown graduate who had played for four years on the varsity basketball team beginning with the 1917-18 season and lettered for the 1918-19, 1919-20, and 1920-21 teams. He had served as an assistant to head coach Elmer Ripley during Ripleys two very successful seasons as the Hoyas head coach in 1927-28 and 1928-29. Dudack inherited a team stocked with veterans Ripley had recruited, leading to hopes that Ripleys success would continue under Dudack.〔 Senior guard and second-year team captain Fred Mesmer was an important defensive presence for the team during the season and led the Hoyas in scoring for the second straight year, averaging 9.2 points per game. He averaged 8.5 points per game over his collegiate career.〔(The Georgetown Basketball History Project: The Top 100: 83. Fred Mesmer )〕 Senior center Don Dutton scored a career-high 20 points against Johns Hopkins on January 22, 1930, and averaged 8.0 points per game through 16 games before being declared academically ineligible for the rest of the year after mid-term examinations. He focused on his studies and graduated on time in the spring of 1930.〔(The Georgetown Basketball History Project: The Top 100: 85. Don Dutton )〕 Despite the teams veteran talent and the winning tradition the school hoped Ripley had established during the previous two years, the 1929-30 Hoyas only managed a 13-12 record. Georgetown did not rehire Dudack for the following season.〔 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「1929–30 Georgetown Hoyas men's basketball team」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
