I can remember Elliott getting hammered by 30-40 not just in the O.J era but a little before that in my day. Rowan, East Carter, Russell, Ashland, Boyd, Breck, etc. all gave it to them. I also remember guys like Magrane, Pemberton, Daughtery,etc. still being in sometimes in the 4th. Whether it was to retain the lead, work on a special skill, or just for the coach's enjoyment, who cares. I don't remember anyone complaining or whining then. It doesn't take 2-3 minutes to score 20 -30 pts this day and time(dont believe it ask East Carter girls coach) and evaporate a 30 point lead. Elliott's sub's without a couple starters "cannot" hold the lead! Also when Elliott plays a really good team their starters are going to have to probably play the whole game if they want to compete or win. Why would you only have them used to playing 1/2 a game. My kid is a veteran b-ball player and he says that you can run everyday in practice and it doen't keep you in "game shape". Only playing will keep you game ready. Course I am sure everyone would like for Elliott players to only be used to playing 1/2 the game then when they get in a tight one and wasn't used to playing 3 1/2-4 quarters they would fail. I have posted a couple pretty good reason's that Coach Mays might be doing what he is doing but I know they will not be accepted because " seeing they shall not see, and reading they shall not understand".

:rolleyes:

They must remain intense to win by 40 + pts.......?

 

Why not take it down to a 20 pt win and let the bench get some QUALITY minutes ? If things get a little tight, put the big boys back in to finish the job.

 

The bottom line is,they deserve it.

I am sure they get beat down in practice, as do most non-starters and JV.

Its a huge disrespect to them. Not to mention a dis-service to the program itself.
