Campbell County Camels

[cchs_camel_1]

Since some think I only have problems with the big man, I'v made this thread to show that there are some serious things holding the Camels back from be a much better team.

 

1. Pat Nerl is not involved enough in the offense. I have been to every game except the first Montgomery game and the Greenup game and one thing that I notice is that there are NO designed plays for Nerl who is without a doubt their best scorer. He is basically always mismatched with smaller defenders but he never gets the opportunity. At the mason game Nerl had 4 straight poins then Code benches him. Why? Just when he begins to get in a rhythem he gets sat down? I have personally seen what happens when he gets into a rhythem, last year at home aginst Newport he was given the opportunity to shoot and he puts up 37. Making 7 to 9 threes I think. At least set a pick for the kid!

 

2. Turnovers. The Camels turn the ball over quite frequently due to trying to force passes and not making the smart easy ones. Two of the camel starters have 44 and 48 turnovers and the other 3 are in the high twenties. So their starting line-up alone is averaging around 12 turnovers per game. and no other player on the team that plays a decent amount has less thn 15 turnovers.

 

3. We get it. You wanna get the ball to Petey. But there is one problem. Once the ball goes in it doesnt come back out. Albrecht has only 6 assists on the season. I know he's a big man and not Jason Kidd but if there are 4 people around you, you have got to realize that there are people open on the perimeter. Mainly the Franzen's, Parks and Nerl. They have proven that when given the shot they can make the open jumper. So why not get the entry pass then toss it back out side and catch the defense off guard? Sounds like it would work to me.

 

4. Ill advised shots. One simple question. Why has Brady Jolly taken 28 three's thus far in the season? Thats more than both Ben and Andy Franzen and Parks combined. The Camels waste their trips up the floor when they take these shots.

 

5. BREAK A PRESS! Not only is it hard to watch but it burns time outs. And it could all be solved by one thing. LIFTING YOUR HEAD UP! Don't try to take it on your own, there are 5 players on the floor for a reason. This is one of the main reasons they turn the ball over they wait till the very last second to look up and then they just have to throw it to avoid the call or they have to call a time-out.

 

6. Your not Brossart. Code you don't have to play like them just because you came from there. Don't get me wrong I love the defense but the whole pound the ball inside theory gets pretty predictable and can be stopped. Ther is no versatility. You have so many offensive weapons its crazy. Just show the other teams what you've got. These kids are so talented. Just let them play like they know how. Your a good enough coach to have your own playing style and to not have to use your brothers.

 

7. Some people don't pull their weight defensivly. Something seems wrong when the SG/SF has more than double the blocks than the teams center does. Alot of the fouls called are called on the players who have to come over and help out someone beause they know that they can't defend anyone. Not naming any names.

 

8. Poor free-throw shooting. During the first 2 1/2 to 3 quarters its pretty solid but as soon as the scoreboard says 4th period they all turn to mush and can't get one to fall. I really don't know how to solve this because its mainly inexperience but it is definatly a reson why the Camels have lost their games.

 

Not everything about this team is bad though. As a whole the defense is a good unit, even though some are better than others, for the most part they really get after it for 32 minutes every night. Which is very new to Campbell County.

 

This is all i have to say. Any opinions?

Suggestion... Go get your teaching certificate and try your hand at coaching. It seems that you have a lot of answers. I'm sure there are people on here that would love to second guess every move you make...

You need to realize that believe it or not, you don't see everything that goes on... It amazes me that the first time CCHS is successful in the past 5 or 6 years, you nitpick and attack Coach Code. As someone who played under Coach Code, I believe he is the second smartest basketball mind I've ever played for (His older brother being the smartest of course ), so he definitely knows what to run, what is best for the team, and how to manipulate the opposing defenses. You may not like going inside, but the run/gun, do everything on their own offenses of the past didn't work nearly as well as the one Code is running now... Hopefully negativity like yours continues and Coach Code comes back to where he belongs at Brossart and rejoins the Mustang staff, because trust me it will defintely be a loss for the Camels if he leaves...

I'll get right on that. Im only critcizing the coaching in one of my points everything else is the players decisions.

I know players read this website, and when you single out players like you did in that post, and I assume you're a CCHS student, they won't be happy, and it will hurt the team...

I don't believe I have ever even said the words run and gun let alone suggested it for the Camels. Thats true that it would be a loss if he left because he is the best coach besides Sullivan in recent history at CCHS. I have never once said that he is a bad coach. It amazes me how some people tend to put words in someones mouth rather than accepting someones opinion.

ok I really didn't name any names when it came to the negatives. Why does everyone on this site think that I care whether the players are happy about my observations or not. It's called constructive criticism. Try it.

If you know every stat you must be very close to the program, why not walk up to Coach Code and give him all this advice? Maybe you can tell us, since your such an expert, how many Varsity coaching wins do you have in your career?

Constructive criticism would be pulling them aside, as a coach, and talking to them about it, not posting it on the internet... If one of my peers did this in high school, and we knew who it was, he wouldn't have too many friends the next day... It's disrespectful to call out peers on the internet, and to suggest you know more about basketball than them...

 

I suggest talking to them one on one, even though I doubt they'll listen to you, rather than calling them out on a Bulletin Board... Its happened to me, and its not fun... So just have some respect, and don't call the kids out like that...

If you say they all read this then how is it not the same a pulling them aside? I know that i don't know more than anyone on the team about basketball. Yet again someone puts words in my mouth.

[cchs_camel_1]

I'll just stop here and say that I'm not arguing with anyone over my opinions anymore. Because thats what they are. MY opionions. You don't have to like them. And if you disagree this much don't read them.

Because everyone else gets to read about it also...Posting criticisms about the team shows you think that those things could help the team. You're saying they don't do these things. Therefor, you must know something they don't. Easy hypothetical syllogism argument. If A=B and B=C, A must equal C,,,

I'm pretty sure they know these things. Just because you know something doesn't mean you do it.
