Holmes 79 Western 30

Featured Replies

Okay, then we quit! You win! We stink! All these stupid coaches around the state put us in the top ten. Those silly guys! They must really just like our staff! .

 

We average 7 TO's a game...for the season. And that's even up a little. You can say all you want. I know where you're bball knowledge level is. You talked about who we might get a couple dribbles out of. Right there tells me what you know. What good ball handling team beats pressure by dribbling????

 

Too easy!!!

 

Highlands has to pass the ball because they can't dribble not to beat the press/ball pressure. Just watch when they play the Lady Dawgs. That little Pt. Guard is going to need a vacation after the game I'm calling Holmes by 12-15 they are so much better.

Pass judgment??? This is where all you guys are getting it wrong. I have said nothing but good things about Holmes. Are you upset because I feel their schedule is no stronger than HHS at the moment. That has nothing to do with whether I think Holmes is a good team or not. I know they are. But their opponents (as a body of work) have not been any stronger than HHS. No spinning needed. There's nothing wrong with it and it has no reflection of how good I think Holmes is.

 

And we have not play great either and managed just fine too. A loss on a last second three in overtime is not much different than a double overtime win. So again, very similar. You're splitting hairs.

 

 

No I think you may have taken offense to the amount of interest and props given to this Holmes team and maybe not to the Lady Bird's! This thread has grown on your comparisons!!

I propose next years schedules mirror each other!!

Ha ha ha ha. You are clueless! It's actually comical! But it's kinda cute too! I'm sure "that little point guard" will be just fine. Do you think it's the first time she's played against these exact same kids. Again...you are cute! Keep it coming!

 

I agree. Holmes by 15. I hope we just keep it close. You are one smart fan!

Or maybe we just play each other 30 times!!

They are getting plenty of recognition and I know they are good and so do plenty of others. They don't need marketing. Again. I just asked soccer dummy why he felt they would run away from HHS and it exploded to this. That's it. People got defensive because I asked for more reasoning behind his opinion.

You know what is cute is a softball coach that thinks he has any basketball knowledge whatsoever.

 

anyways back to basketball....

 

Good ball pressure teams make you put it on the floor in the half court they are not just going to let you pass it over them. Holmes is going to smother whether you pass or dribble. How's that for your knowledge.

 

Stick with what you know softball!!!

Again. So cute!!! Apparently you don't know me very well. I have coached basketball waaaaaayyyy longer than I've coached softball! About 25 years. I actually had my own AAU org for about 7 years and have coached or trained SEVERAL players that'are playing for teams all over NKY...including at your beloved school. So I may not have as much experience as you, but l know a little about the game. Thanks for your concern.

 

You should come watch us play softball. It's fun. You'd like it!!

Hmmmm, with all this experience and knowledge you have maybe we can get you to get in contact with the government. Will your great knowledge of every team in the NKY Area. you should have the knowledge of all these sleeper cells going around too. Have a Good Night Sir Softball.

Sorry. Don't know sleeper cells. Just basketball...and softball...and football...and baseball. I also know a little about volleyball and soccer. But just enough to be dangerous.

With Holmes playing HolyCross on 22nd and HHS playing them on the 24th, hopefully both teams won't catch that bug going around.

I disagree you felt the need to infiltrate another Holmes thread and beg for favor and comparison to your Lady Birds... If this were your first time doing so it would be ok but it's becoming a bit of a habit for you! The fact is the SOS isn't as close as you would like to think or make it out to be!

Well, for what its worth, I'm very happy SK is not in the same region as Holmes. We know what its like to have a top 5 team in our path to the regional title. To be honest, Holy Cross and Highlands do not scare me like Holmes does. Thier combination of depth and athleticism neutralizes some of the advantage SK typically has over an opponent. Perhaps a meeting in the state tournament is in order?

Infiltrate??

 

Okay, I have a challenge for you. Click on my user name. Then click on "view recent post". Then look at my posts on anything Holmes (outside of the Taft score which I apparently was not the only person in agreement with that! ), show me where I'm anything but complimentary of the Bulldogs...congrats and players recognition, etc. I'll save you some time...you won't find any negative.

 

Secondly...go to my first post in this thread. I ask as simple question from a poster that makes a statement alluding to HHS, their SOS and thay Holmes would run away from HHS. My question is asking that person to fill in the blanks on why he felt that way. So in fact, it wasn't even a question about Holmes at all. It was a question as to why he felt HHS couldn't play with them. Then, all the Holmes people jumped in defensively like "how dare I ask a question on why he felt HHS couldn't play with Holmes." Defensive???? And throughout this thread, the ONLY thing anyone could take away from me be negative is that I compare Holmes SOS to HHS. I didn't even say worse, I said the same. Somehow that translates with you that I'm dogging on the Dawgs! If the Bulldog fans weren't so defensive, this thread would have not been as long.

 

Let me put it to you this way...if we were on an HHS thread and someone said they felt HHS would run away from Holmes (which contrary to your belief, there are people outside of HHS that feel they will beat Holmes), I would have jumped in and said there is no way HHS runs away from Holmes. Because that's true. And it's also true that Holmes will not run away from HHS.

 

I said nothing by positive about Holmes in any post, other than the Taft score. And that had NOTHING to do with the success of the team or the girls. That had to do with what I (and many others) felt was a poor coaching decision. I would have said it about any team in the country...not just Holmes.

 

It's funny, you seem to have to defend Holmes' staff and philosophies all the time on here. Many other comments from other teams fans and I haven't said a word. I have been nothing but positive. I don't agree with the staff's philosophy of scoring when they are up, but to each their own. I could have commented MANY times and didn't. So to call me out as a Holmes hater is actually false. Go back and look.

Well, for what its worth, I'm very happy SK is not in the same region as Holmes. We know what its like to have a top 5 team in our path to the regional title. To be honest, Holy Cross and Highlands do not scare me like Holmes does. Thier combination of depth and athleticism neutralizes some of the advantage SK typically has over an opponent.

Yep, tough matchup for SK. But that doesn't make one team better than the other. Heck, there's a tough match up for HHS in the 9th that's not even in the top 10 of NKY.

 

No one looks at HHS and is scared prior to playing them. They don't "wow" you in any way. They don't have a superstar, they don't look overly athletic (even though they are very athletic), they look fragile. I agree, they don't scare anyone. But then you play them and try to match up. Then and only then do you realize why they are good. I'm not going into why they are...but I can completely understand why you can look at them and say "they just don't scare me". Ask the coaches of the teams that have played them if they are any good. Even OC's coach would tell you.

 

I have no idea how the year will turn out, but I do know that HHS can play with any team in the 9th.
