Rickyp Posted January 24, 2008 Share Posted January 24, 2008 Elliott is very entertaining and very talented. I personally like their kids a great deal and have nothing but respect for the boys I know personally. If that is their style of play then that's fine but you have to understand that it will be very difficult to beat quality opponents night after night if you have no post presence and can't rebound. I love the way they play but sooner or later the deep shots don't fall. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sidelinecoach Posted January 24, 2008 Share Posted January 24, 2008 I don't think he's figured that out yet. When he does, I agree. That is for the coaching staff to figure out & I'm very positive they absolutely make little effort to do this! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mrs. Hoops 69 Posted January 24, 2008 Share Posted January 24, 2008 Elliott is very entertaining and very talented.

I love the way they play but sooner or later the deep shots don't fall. It is very difficult to beat quality opponents regardless of what style you play. If you have ever (i'm sure you have) watched Elliott you then know as I stated before they are very small and have no true post player regardless of what is, what is not, what could be,what couldn't be, if you have watched them(i'm sure you have) you then know they absolutely cannot play a slow down style, they struggle offensively, but when they are running it is plain to see that is their game. They are playing the style they play best and are 65-17(last two season's and part of this one) have a 16th region title. I'm pretty sure I am going to vote for them to "Live To Run....Run To Win!:thumb: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spindoc Posted January 24, 2008 Share Posted January 24, 2008 IMO he is too young and not strong enough at the present time which is when I was speaking of. Most of his career he has played with his face to the basket and has not developed his post skills. Thus it still stand's Elliott does not have a true post presence. In a way I am glad they don't. I love the runnin and gunnin style they have played the last three season's and it's not been all that bad.......23-8 in 05,06.....25-7 in 06,07 17-2(so far) in 07,08. That is a far cry from years of 6-19 and 5-21 etc. Probably won't be very long till it's back to that. Don't really understand why people would begrudge us being a little....... okay a lot overhyped under the circumstance's. Can I throw in only trip to State in school history without getting completely annihilated. Honey, no one is begrudging you anything. I know I listened to the games at Rupp last year on the internet and screamed at the computer like it would help rooting those boys on. And if they get there again this year, I'll do the same thing. It's the fans that want to make excuses and not give any credit to the victor that has most others in a huff. I like that team and those boys tremendously. You seem to be a fan that has a good handle on reality. And I understand that when you haven't been there before, you can get caught up in the glamor of it all. I wish those boys nothing but luck.

Gator_Fan21 Posted January 24, 2008 Share Posted January 24, 2008 I think it will just make them more focused for the next time they play Rose Hill. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dan Tanna Posted January 24, 2008 Share Posted January 24, 2008 For Elliott County to be successful they must get over the Rocky Adkins thing. He no longer laces them up for the Lions. It's a slap in the face to all the fine young men who give their all for the Lions every game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I love anyone named Rocky! I can't help myself!! But after RockyII, watchin' Sly Stallone tryin' to bounce that ball with Apollo, I just can't picture anyone named Rocky playing basketball. Uppercut to the chin, yes, crossovers, no! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
