The practice was 10:00-12:00, the open gym was from 12:00-whenever. Thought I should clear that up.

 

You are mistaken, the open gym was from 10:00-12:00.

 

Maybe we have a new problem, the girls didn't know when the open gym was. LOL

Houston we have a problem. Well Catspride24 I'm glad we both found some humor. Have a good night and thanks for the spirited debate.

I'm going to throw in my 2 cents worth. I've watched this team for the past 6 years plus. Not sure why Lubbe was asked to stop coaching at WV but it seemed like they were looking for a "woman" coach. I believe they even ask the JV Coach Ame Burger to take the job but she refused. I heard they were looking for a person who also had to be a full time teacher also. I don't believe that they looked very hard. The current coach Rosin. I believe this is her first year as a varsity coach. She's very young and inexperienced. She doesn't have the respect of the girls because of her coaching skills and personality. I've seen other teams in the 8th region replace coaches and not have the struggle that WV has. Example: Look at Gallatin. They have replaced their coach several years ago and they have a young coach, Coach Roberts. She seems to be respected and coaches a tuff game and the team plays well together. They have improved a lot since she took over. She has great coaching skills as a young coach and knows her team. I hate to say it but WV coaching lacks coaching skills and knowing her teams strengths and weaknesses even if they are a average team. When this happens, it effects the whole team. She misses some of the basic things that leaves lots of people wondering what is going on. I've also heard talk from some upcoming team members parents that they are concerned about the program and they are not sure if they want their daughters involved.

It's sad to watch.

I still can't blame all the problems on coaching. Yes, she is young and inexperienced and probably does miss some of the basics. That's when the assistants need to help out and pick-up on things that might be missed. Coach Buerger is an experienced coach and has a great deal of knowledge of the game. She should be a valuable resource. I also question the level of support Coach Rosen has received from the parents from the beginning. With no support, it's easy for one to fail. This is not a good situation for anyone involved.

We feel your pain at St Henry District High School !!!!! A very similar situation with coach Jeff Hans departing for Lexington Catholic and the hiring of an inexperienced coach as replacement. St. Henry goes from a 21-8 season to a 9-19 season after returning 4 of 5 starters. I'm not suggesting that the girls and parents attitude did not play a factor, but the coaching also played a significant part. SHDHS also has loads of young talent in the Freshman class and "feeder" school programs, but without some change in direction they will continue their struggle to win games and attract the more talented players from the feeder schools...... Yes, we feel your pain ....

Don't want to threadjack, but since she was brought up, Coach Roberts at Gallatin County was the JV coach under Coach Tim Browning before he left to concentrate on Football. Coach Roberts played and graduated from Gallatin County and this is the second year of her varsity coaching just like Coach Rosen. She has been with this group of girls since they were in middle school. They will do well in the next couple of years.

 

Back to this thread, I'm not sure where Coach Rosen came from. This is Coach Rosen's second year. Covering the 8th region for a few years now, I have been to many games in Walton. IMO, the few earlier threads regarding the "open gym" says volumes. I understand it was non-manditory, but the Lady Bearcats are starting back up in district competition this week with games against Grant this week and Williamstown next. They are currently 3-6, not 9-0. If they want to make it to Shelby County in March, they need to work on their game, or end up with a 4th seed and get bounced by Simon Kenton.

 

Just my opinion.

Welcome to the site!!!!

See even Gallatin saw the advantage of hiring a coach who knew the girls and that is an asset to their team. As for the parents and fans of WV, I believe most of the parents were excited about a new coach because quite a few had made it know that they didn't care for Lubbe's coaching methods. I believe the new coach had the majority of the support from the parents and administration in the first year but now that year 2 has rolled around I believe alot of the parents and fans would love to see another coaching change. No changes or improvement from the last year.

No matter what you say, the coach IS the LEADER of the team otherwise, why have one? Look at a good team, it equals a good coach!

Thanks. These seniors (7 I believe), deserve to go out with a bang. Not that other programs don't, but Walton is one of a few teams that is senior led. Most are not this year in Girls Basketball. Every team goes through cycles like this and last year, MacKenzie was their only senior. I wish them nothing but the best. Coach Rosen, get them ready!!!:thumb:

They have two upcoming games, Friday vs Grant Co. and Sat vs Owen Co. should be interesting to see if they are ready to play as a TEAM.:jump:

I hope she does get them ready for the games, but so far, for the past 2 years, they haven't put in a game plan to beat an equal skill level team. They beat the "bad" teams, just because they are more talented, but I just hope she (the coach) can turn this around and get them ready. So far, it hasn't happened this year, or last, but I'll soon to find out, in the next few days, if she proves me wrong! I really believe that if they don't come away with wins (which they should), it's just going to get even more bad than it already is. Huge games coming up.

I say they beat Grant (they are not playing their best right now) and lose to Owen County (they are on a roll).
