What exactly is the politics employed by Coach Dodd? The better players play more? The players that do what they are told...stay on the floor more often? The players that improve the chance of winning are in the game? I'm confused. Is Dodd not interested in putting the best product on the floor? Is he not playing the best players? It would be nice if we had a message board for Marathon, AK, prison, hospital, McDonalds so that lay people could do a walk through the establishment and make critical comments about what's going on. The games represent less than 25% of the season and in large part reflect the practice performance of players. Most of us posting on this site are not privy to that information, only second hand which usually has a tilt to it. Firing Dodd statements are a joke but whoever filled out the scorebook at the tourney...that may be another story.

Oh, you've been waiting to say that haven't you. The book was never filled by anyone on the Russell staff.

Isn't there a roster card for each team that goes to the official scorer? I'm not sure but I thought there was? The score of the game is not that bad because both teams normally play a part in low scores, but leaving a name out of the book on the biggest stage, well that's down right embarassing. The worst part is that Turner is in the rotation and was certain to be in the game. The person that left off the name on the card/or book laid an egg at the state tournament. That's as memorable as the call, "would L.J. Butchsomoly please report to the scorers table, L.J. Butchsomoly". I know it is not spelled correctly but I'm hooked on "fonics" on this one. I would presume that Dodd is not responsible for this mistake?

Hey, UKCATSFAN - I hope you had a nice week. We have missed seeing your post. Could you please give me a call. I have an important one for you. Thanks,

You have no idea what happened. You can say what you want. You obviously have a personal problem with me, so I really don't care what you say. There was a mix-up, that's all. I've kept the book for 3 years, I don't think I would screw that up on the biggest stage in the state. So, keep running your mouth like you always do because you have no clue what you're talking about like you never do. I can take your assaults, no problem.

I heard today that Dodd has applied for the head coaching job at Pikeville College.

I do not have a dog in this fight so forgive me for adding comments if I shouldn't. I do not know nor do I care to know what has went on behind the scene at Russell. What I do know is that I see a coach that is a very good coach - Plays his best players no matter what year of school that they are in. Coach Dodd probably goes a lot on who performs in practice and deserves to play and not what fans or parents think they know his job better than he does have to say. I would not blame the man at all if he does apply for different jobs. Believe me Russell fans - you could do a lot worse.

also heard that Dodd applied for the Morehead job and about the player been left off, I believe the coach signs off on those.

What are his chances at Pikeville and Morehead?

I don't see how he could be in the running for the Morehead job. I don't know much about the Pikeville situation.

I would think he would have a decent shot at Pikeville, but I agree with

lynks66 about the Morehead job.

I heard that the Russell folks would help him get any other job, don't know how true it is.
