Look, I'm a huge Elliott County fan, but 40 shots in a game is ridiculous. You'll never win a basketball game (a team sport) when you play 1 against 5.

 

The only conceivable way that a play can even get off 40 shots in a 32-minute game is that they were playing YMCA ball. There couldn't have possibly been any actual offensive sets or planning.

 

And nothing will never change because the coaches allow this to happen. It really makes it tough as a fan to sit there and watch all their potential as a team go down the drain because they want one kid to get his. Maybe if they would have opened the job up when Mays retired they would have had somewhat of a chance this year.

Deja vu!! Like I stated before and you seem to be missing it....Good coaching can get you open looks regardless of height. If you dont believe that you havent paid any attention to all the games you ve watched. I have watched plenty of small and undertalented teams win ballgames because COACH makes them very patient in the offense and they get plenty of wide open looks and one guy isnt running down and launching it every time. As for the hand in the face most coaches set a screen or a double screen to get shooter open within his range. Believe me it happens all the time just not at Elliott.:thumb: As for Blake Bryan he is more talented than Cody and them but his opposition was way more talented than fairview also. He scored a lot because he had help(coach) in getting shots. I watched him play ....did you?

Why do we argue? So, you weren't a fan of the last coach, and not this one either? Am I correct?

 

As for Bryan, did Villa Madonna have a 6'7" option? Let alone a kid who could score from anywhere on the floor? I'd bet Villa Madonna's COACH would have loved a 6'7" kid.

Wow!!! How some people can defend a player taking that many shots is beyond me. I'm 40 years old and I believe I could average 30 points a game shooting that many times. You can't win with a one man show at any level, you might beat some of the weaker teams but against competition you will lose every time which is evident if you have watched Elliott play this season. Wake up!!!!!!!!!!!

You tell me. You are one without a leg to stand on. The discussion isnt about whether i liked the coach or whether Villa Maddonnas coach would have liked a 6'7" kid. It's about ..that height doesnt keep you from getting shots when you are 5'8". Whether it be by extreme talent or by coaching. You are arguing a moot point really, because anyone who has ever watched the game knows that under 6ftrs get shots in the game and score all the time all over the world in all levels of the game! I know for a FACT that there were several double and triple team plays in the 40 shot game where the ball could have been dished and a 5'8" player gotten a shot but it didnt happen. That was the discussion!:thumb:

I think the continued disscussion is to one up me. I don't believe it is really about defending the 40 shot's at this point.

Wow, amos, you really have some pull. I notice you haven't commented on the latest Elliott game when Knipp was outscored on his own team by Ison and Faulkner. Coach must have been listening. They keep playing like that and maybe your premonition will come true and folks will forget last years team with all that success. Good luck to Elliott in the remaining games.

Hey, I'm just happy that we saw a balanced scoring offense.

Way to let it go man! I am proud of you! You generally wont hear any complaints when things are like they should be. Not meaning Knipp should be outscored because he wont 99% of time, but in that every one was givin it up especially when they pulled the xtra defender! Good luck to Russell in the remaining games.
