I must say Himmelfarb I usually agree with your post but on this one I am in agreement with Walrus. You state that the ball was taken out of the hands of the senior leadership, excuse me if I am mistaken but it is hard to run the PG position after you foul out of a ballgame. Gambill 0 turnovers from the PG position. Dont put this loss on some kids that only played a few minutes. The other Senior was getting Shaq'd every time she touched the ball. Until this team decides to play like a team then they are not going very far in the post season.

 

Great post they need to learn to play team ball and not Queen ball.

Look, now I am going to have to stay neutral on the Hatfield and McCoy, oops I mean Himmelfarb and Walrus feud. You will not see a better player than Emily Queen.

Excuse me...I did not "put this loss on some kids that only played a few minutes," nor did I intimate that Gambill did less than the job she was asked to do. Since you mentioned the PG position, however, let me add this...when Faulkner fouls out, the ball should be in Queen's hand. If she blows it...so be it...but don't put that kind of pressure on a 6th grader and at the same time fail to demonstrate your confidence in a proven and experienced player.

 

As for agreeing with Walrus...all he said was that the stats were wrong. Are you disputing them as well?

I, for one, love watching Queen play, and no I am not from RH.

Great post they need to learn to play team ball and not Queen ball.

 

 

Please, enlighten us all as to how it is that the Lady Royals play only "Queen ball."

 

You know...you really ought to do a better job of disguising your pettiness.

Well you and the statistician think that Queen had more steals than Faulkner?

I am not disputing the stats with you, it just seemed that with those stats RH should have won. I just dont recall seeing that many steals and assists as a team, not saying they werent there, I just dont remember RH stealing the ball that many times and sure dont remember all those assists, once again I am not saying that your stats are inaccurate, I just didnt see what you did apparently.

It doesn't matter what player had them to me its just they don't add up and i was on the floor at the game and I missed them.

I agree totally with you gottarebound.

I don't know what to tell you other than there are two people carefully watching the game and recording steals, deflections, tie-ups (won & lost)...all that we can record. If an open spot-up shooter is found and scores...that's an assist. Each of Dundon's baskets came as a result of such an assist this evening. Additionally, a number of Queen's scores inside came off of an assist. As for steals...not real difficult to see.

 

I think after tonight's contentiousness, I'll go back to filming every game.

That would be nice, and I wouldnt do it for the stats, do it to show to the players and coaches unless they already have someone filming games. Maybe the players would see how they play in spurts, you cannot win games playing in spurts:thumb: , dont take offense to any of this. This is just some opinions.

It may be necessary.

It won't be needed for stats because they will really show when they get into college ball. Unless RHCS statistician is going to take over for them.

I agree...and used to film, but I find myself watching the game and not moving the camera. Also, I would rather not have my occasional "outbursts" recorded.

 

No offense taken...I just wanted to make clear that I was not blaming particular players earlier. I agree that losses can be blamed on all...from the bench to those on the floor.

 

I enjoy your remarks. Even if I do not always agree with them, I find you to be objective and insightful.

Please translate the "they will really show when when they get into college ball" portion of your last remarks. I'm not sure what you mean.

 

As for Queen having more steals than Faulkner... We had them 6 & 5. Do you have something different? If so, just say so. You act as if any mistakes are made with malicious intent (Say, you're not one of those crazy cheerleader mothers from Texas, are you? Your really seem to be angered over all of this).

 

And finally...I don't suspect the RHCS statistician will be taking over in Murfreesboro, although she would probably do a real good job. Come to think of it...new laptop, up-to-date software (no more making our own spreadsheets), more money...say, you've given me food for thought.

All of the chatter above has taken away from a great performance by the Lady Rams. Let me take this time to again say...well done, Ladies.

 

Now, get it done on Saturday. You deserve a trip to Richmond.
