The origin of the post to start this thread was simply the numbers . From the looks of it the older players left due to lack of PT.

 

That still doesn't explain why a school that size has so few girls playing on the freshman team. I would think that it would have 10 to 15 girls and that does take into account the freshman playing JV.

 

Maybe its not just a Ryle issue. Is it a girls b-ball issue?

Since when? I thought she rejoined the team in late fall, missed 4 games and was then back. Is she gone again?

 

There was a minor conflict with the coach that could have been/should have been easily resolved.

 

Instead, everyone lost.

If you have 4 Freshman who are playing/starting Varsity then a coach with

any integrity is not going to play them on the Freshman team as well.

Ryle has 11 Freshman and two 8th graders on the current roster. They lost 4 from last years team to Cooper leaving them with the 6 Sophmores currently

on the J.V./Varsity. Ryle has a very unique situation, very talented 8th,

9th and 10th graders that are ready now for Varsity basketball. Many players

girls or boys are not willing to put the time and effort in if they think the are not going to play. Upperclassmen are embarassed because younger players

are better than them and kids their same age give up instead of competing and working to get better to contribute and being a part of a team.

What is going on in the Ryle Girl's basketball program is not "funny" nor is it in disarray. Instead I see it as impressive. The administation made a great hire

in Oliverio and she brought in outstanding assistants. The FACT is they are beating and competing with teams that consist of mostly upperclassmen

with 2 8th graders, 3 Freshman, 2 Sophmores, and 1 Junior playing most of the minutes. The 16 years before the current coaching staff took over Ryle

NEVER had a winning season and had only won 18 games in the two prior

seasonds combined. With the current staff the program is 33-15 in the two

seasons they have taken over the program, with alot of games still left to play this year. Why is it every time players quit, chose not to play for various reasons, or are removed from a team then something must be wrong

with the program? From the success of the program under the new coaching staff and from how hard the players play the games I have seen them play

the coach obviously has the right personnel on the floor and in the program.

The very young Varsity is 12-8, the J.V. is undefeated, and the Freshman program has gone 33- 5 the last two years. This program is WINNING now

not 2-3 years from now. Oliverio has a reputaion of buiding very successful programs built on hard work, discipline and a team concept. Her teams have won over 400 games in both softball and basketball in 15 years, with 6 Regional Championships and 3 Final Four State finishes. I believe this speaks for itself.

 

 

If the truth be told, the varsity is 12-8 with a soft schedule.

 

Ryle has only beat two teams that have a winning record.

 

One of those teams was Lewis County (16th region).

 

Ryle has six games remaining on their schedule.

 

Three of these teams have a combined 18-43 record.

 

So, there might have been some wins built into the schedule.

 

Concerning Oliverio's resume: I think you need to keep two things in mind.

 

1. No one cares about her softball record. This is the "Girls Basketball" forum.

 

2. Oliverio has been a head basketball coach for 2 years.

 

Prior to that, every high school basketball win was as an assistant at Boone County High School.

 

Those would be considered wins for head coach Nell Fooks.

 

Oliverio is doing a fine job at building a young team at Ryle. However, I don't think you need to embellish her record with misguided "facts".

The program is an absolute joke. Check addresses. Some very good players are not even getting a chance.

 

As a Boone County resident, I thought that only those students who lived in the assigned area could attend Ryle. I am confused? :confused:

By addresss do you mean last names? Why is it that the coaches kids (in Boone County both girls and boys) are always the "most talented" with plenty of P.T.?

Softball?? What???:confused:

What happened to Moss? Rumor in Ohio is that she is moving to the lakota West district to play for coach Fishman:idunno:

Point being made was that Oliverio can coach no matter what sport it is.

A Winner is a Winner. None of those 400 wins included her days at Boone as an assistant basketball coach. But since you mentioned it the program at Ryle says her J.V.'s teams' record while at Boone in 4 years was 78-8, with 3 Conference Championships. Add those wins and the teams she has coached in high school have won close to 500 games in 19 years. Before you talk about misguided facts you need to get your FACTS straight. Looking at their

schedule, they played the conference schedule they have to play, district games they have to play, and 3 tournaments including Scott County's and Boone County's known to have good tournaments, and a few other teams. Schedule is just as strong as most teams in the 9th other than Highlands and Notre Dame. Beat the teams they should have beaten, played every other team within 9 points and were blown out twice. Taken into consideration

all of the injuries and games missed by staters and key players team has done an outstanding job. Bombsquad, when Ryle's two point guards sign their college basketball scholorships in 3 and 4 years make sure you attend their signing ceremonies. Your constant attacks on the 14 and 15 year old point guards for Ryle leaves the world to see your issue.

Now I understand. The point you were trying to disguise is the fact that the 400 wins were in softball, not basketball.

 

Again, who cares how many softball games she won?

 

Do you think John Wooden would have been a great baseball coach, too? Football? Ping Pong? Frisbee Golf? LOL!

 

Just to be clear - I never said that Ryle will never have a decent point guard. I said that they don't have a point guard this year.

:deadhorse:

usa41,

 

A couple of members made the allegation that one or more of Ryle's players don't live in the Ryle school district. Can you address this issue? Are any of the girls playing for Ryle not living in Ryle's district and if so how is it they are able to play for Ryle? I certainly understand that if one of them has a parent working in the school system that would be one "legal" way to do it and I am sure there are others.

 

I am not saying anything wrong is being done I am just asking for the cards to be put on the table to either debunk or substantiate the allegation.

At the same time, is it proper for someone to be making such an allegation without providing any specifics, background, or facts to support the claim that Ryle is essentially cheating? Shouldn't they offer some specifics so usa41 could possibly better address their concerns?

The "allegation" deals with the girl from Walton who still lives in the Walton district but plays for Ryle. I think her dad is a coach for Ryle and is somehow considered a para-professional. I'm not sure what he does for the school system.

Now I understand. The point you were trying to disguise is the fact that the 400 wins were in softball, not basketball.

Wrong again. Specifically stated that in the two years as basketball coach

the program had won 33 basketball games with games left. As a softball/ basketball coach at the high school level the coach had won 400 games. So where was the disquise? You might want to reread all of your posts. Recall some saying Ryle has no point guard and do not see any help on the way or it getting any better. How many times have hounded the fact about Ryle's

point guards and who are the best point guards in the region? This is obviously a major issue with you.
