The Vikings simply had no answer for Clemons off the dribble tonight. The smaller Cats did more than hold their own on the glass as well. Bath is starting to make a little noise at the right time. Zak Metz is a load!:scared: He plays like he's 6'3" at 5'9". The Cats are starting to play solid defense. This is definitely the reason for their success of late. Congrats Cats on Senior Night! What a way to go out! Good luck in the district vs. Fleming. :thumb:

Not sure a new coach is the answer. It has to be tough to have not one but two sons on a team and oh yeah, a D1 prospect as a son/player. Tough for any coach/parent to handle.

 

Pretty good game I thought. Bath played really well at home. Give Blandon Clemmons a lot of credit.He has played really well lately, 32 tonight. Congrats Blandon, keep up the hard work.

 

Im not so sure of D1. But I would say coaching your own son would be tough

1) I agree that it would be hard to coach your own son

2) Daniel is a nice NAIA prospect

3) I'm not basing a coaching change on this season, I'm basing it on the years of coming up empty

This may lift another 61st district team into Cubsters Top 13. :-)

Clemons is quite simply putting his A game together. He is awesome right now. Also, props to Metz. He plays BIG for 5'9".

I believe Rowan went to Rupp two years ago, only one other 16th region coach has done that in the last two years, I wouldnt call that "coming up empty"

I am pretty close the Rowan program and I promise you that it has came up short too many times. That is my opinion.

THAT team had the talent to be playing on Saturday in Rupp.

When was the last time Bath had beaten rowan?

Clemmons and Metz are studs. Clemmons has a heart of a lion. I love the way he plays the game. He reminds me of players that I played with back home, like he always has something to prove. Those are the kind of players that usually do prove themselves. Congrats Cats. Keep up the winning ways.

 

Come on MSU. I am more than likely sititng less than a mile from you right now. Thats close too, now that is out of the way. Judge a coach on how well he does in the district as well as throughout the year, not on how many times he goes to rupp. Rupp is a place very few teams get to go. Some kids just have what it takes to win championships no matter how talented they are. Dont fault a coach on that.

 

And oh by the way, I will suspect that Matt will go to a small mid-major school somewhere in the south. The kid can play the game. His court awareness is on defense is something that I question but his shot more than makes up for his lack of vision.

What does this have to do with anything?

 

I don't judge coaches on appearances at Rupp. I think he is blessed to take a team to Rupp once. What I judge them on is getting the most out of the talent they are given. That hasn't been the case at Rowan for a long time now. Also, there are some other matters that can't be discussed on this website that I have a lot of problems with, as well.

 

Oh, and don't get me wrong about Daniel. I think he's a great kid and a very good player. I just think his game is better suited for the NAIA level. That's just my opinion.

I think the doc is just trying to say he is close to the Rowan County program too.

I personally think that parents (I'm assuming you are a parent) too often want to get rid of a coach instead of solving the problem. This, often times, does not help. Look at Bath county, look at Menifee county. Both of these teams would be doing better if not for the many, many coaching changes.

JMHO.

 

 

Although, if you want to get rid of your coach, just lose in the districts next week. That should cinch it

Haha, I'm not a parent but I do have alot of friends that have came through the Viking program. I guess I just hear everything that they have to say.

That is all I am saying guys. Freethrow, well put, those are both programs that push coaches out on the streets like stray cats. The fact is, you have to hire a coach who you know understands the game and can teach the game on a comptetive level. Outside of that, most of winning and losing rests with the guys who have to play the game. Now true, coaches take the wrap for the loss column and actually do at times lose games for their kids. I will tell you that much of winning and losing has to do with how well the program deals with parents,grades,girlfriends,missed practices, egos, different talent levels, etc.

People in this day in time are too quick to blame coaches when the kids dont perform up to the expectations of their parents. Sorry it is just true. Take your buddies or pals that you know from Morehead. Did they play, did they reach their expectations as players. How about this one, are kids even supposed to question or claim to understand what is going on around them with the coaching staff? How many times have you heard disgruntled kids say, "coach doesnt know what he's doing?" How rediculous is that. That coach probably forgot more than that kids knows about the game.

I just hate to see people bash programs. It makes it hard for the kids to ever completely buy what the coach is selling if in the back of their minds they know that my parents think coach is an idiot. That is all.
