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.

 

Good points :thumb:

Good post doc! I am a parent, but I know that both of these teams would be playing closer to their potential if they did NOT have to learn a new coaching style every year. Clemons, Metz, well, the whole team in Bath Co. is just starting to mesh. They could have been winning games all along, IMHO. Menifee has some good players as well. Howard is a beast on the inside. They've got a few good perimeter shooters as well. Consistent coaching could have been huge for them. Again, JMHO.
