All I can say is wow...never thought I would see someone come on here and attempt to humiliate a 17 yr old kid by calling them out by name on their ability or performance, especially didn't expect it from someone who claims to be a supporter of team the kid plays for. I hope you're proud of yourself. (I'll toss you into this too Watchmen). You both claim to be great supporters of SK. Very adult like to run Harmeyer through the mud, and your timing is impeccable, as she is already hurting about the outcome this past weekend. You say these things all the while claiming to be supporters of the team she plays for. But you know I don't remember either of you posting a congratulation to her for scoring her 1000th Varsity point this season as a junior, scoring 7 3's once last season and twice this season, having a monster tournament at Motgomery Co. over the holidays, being the leading scorer during the regional tourney run, being named to the All 8th region team. I don't remember one time you gave her any love, you know being the staunch supporters you both are of the program. But your are right on que to trash her given the chance. Do I have daddy goggles on? In this case, yes I do..most everyone on here knows who I am and could care less. Because you see I don't have to hide behind a username. I don't have any hidden agendas. I don't trash young athletes and then duck behind a cloak of anonymity. As her parent I'm the first to admit Shelby needs to work on her defense. But I really don't understand what satisfaction you gain by trying to humiliate a kid, whether it's mine or anyone else's. At first I really thought I'd like to find out both of your identities, but I'm sure that would probably hurt more than not knowing who you are because you both at some point have probably shook my hand and told me what good player my daughter is. I guess we will see if others feel the same way you do this fall on signing day.

Can't wait till next season.

Should be a really good team again, however no post presence

Harmeyer and Bush should be ok along with Niece posting people up.

Yes they will be really good again, just not as good I think. No true post player makes it tough to win at the state level, unless you shoot it like Mercer

Post play is not what got SK beat. Deer in Headlights syndrome got SK beat. Too many kids reverting to old (AAU) habits under the pressure of the big stage. SK has three 6 foot sophomores . Hopefully, at least 1 will have the wisdom to hit the weight room.

In your opinion what are old AAU habits?

Jumping in the air to make passes. Telegraphing passes. No use of ball fakes. Forgetting defensive assignments. Forgetting to box out.

Really not sure what AAU programs you have been apart of, but all the programs I played for and have also coached and been apart of in some way or another taught all of the players to not jump during passing or to telegraph a pass. Taught all players to ball fake, play defense and box out. These days you will find very few who aren't currently playing​ AAU or did a some point. These are kids in highschool they are going to miss a box out or throw a bad pass you can't blame AAU for that. Maybe bad fundamental coaching, but not a whole program.

Also to added to that post I'm not asking for anyone to call out certain programs on here. Please don't those people dedicate their lives to teaching your children the game.

Agreed. Coached AAU for 8 years. We constantly worked on our skills...which included all those things and many more! AAU can be different styles of play in games, but if you're playing for teams that aren't teaching skills at and early age...find another team!

Wait Simon lost??? It must be AAU's fault!

 

 

(maybe they won't notice that all of Mercer Co girls play aau...not to mention Franklin Co....and probably almost all of the girls on the best teams in the state)

Not yet! Still plenty of time to clear that up?
