High School game final: 2-0
Doppler Don replied to SportsGuy41017's topic in KY Boys Basketball (High School)
I don't think it needs one - I just love a faster paced game. There are more than a few games out of the hundreds of thousands that are painfully slow!!!! There are more than a few in the dozens of games I see a year. As stated above - I don't think High School basketball needs a shot clock - its a great game the way it is (love it more than anything) - but nothing wrong with making a great thing better!! -

Many schools don't seems to find it difficult to fund the installation of synthetic turf football fields and jumbo-trons. But an excellent point. I never considered the cost to EVERY school - somewhat daunting. It sounded good when my brain thought it!!! -

Good argument for a shot clock in HS basketball. Even if it's a 45 sec clock like college started with. Gives plenty of time to run the offense without rushing a shot. -

Coach ... I have a suggestion
Doppler Don replied to Voice of Reason's topic in KY Boys Basketball (High School)
Love the comment in bold. Agree that I would take advice from anyone on the team - whether coaching a work team or a sports team. I also ask for advice constantly from people "outside the team". Unsolicited advice is also sometimes welcome - SOMETIMES. Depends on the source and the motivation for offering the unsolicited advice. -
Coach ... I have a suggestion
Doppler Don replied to Voice of Reason's topic in KY Boys Basketball (High School)
My "parental policy" is to NEVER discuss game/player related stuff with a coach during the season, unless they begin the conversation. If a coach does begins the conversation, I do not provide any player or situation specific comments or advice - especially linked to my kids. They have enough other parents offering their services. After the season ends - it never seems like the things I would have discussed were really all that important after all. Amazing how emotion clouds the judgment!!!!! -
I love the enthusiasm of the Cov Cath student section, but think they take many things too far - as most student sections would if the school administration did little to discourage them. That's my issue from attending many of their games in the past. School officials allow the students to do things that I feel are poor sportsmanship at a minimum.

If this is regarding High School ball see below. Overreacting...yes. Is it a big deal...no. Should a parent do this....no. Should a coach allow "parental visits" during a game....no. Should little Johnny have a discussion with his parents and ask them to stay in the stands....yes.

Mason County, will the drought end?
Doppler Don replied to Royal's topic in KY Boys Basketball (High School)
If "ifs" and "butts" were candy and nuts....... The outcome of many things in life would be different if you could add (2) units of measure. Games are a fixed length for a reason. -
article Inside the 10th Region (1-19-15)
Doppler Don replied to Randy Parker's topic in KY Boys Basketball (High School)
I agree that they are the favorite in the 10th, (and have the best player in the 10th) but disagree that it would be a monumental upset. Upset, yes. Monumental, no. Several teams are capable of beating them if they are hitting on all cylinders. -
Newport at Campbell County 12/16 Predictions
Doppler Don replied to Walter's topic in KY Boys Basketball (High School)
From what I've seen of Newport, they don't shoot any better than Western Hills. To me, they both look like very similar teams. The biggest difference is Snapp. Western Hills did not have guard play close to his level. I expect a similar outcome tonight as Campbell County's game against Western Hills on Saturday. I do think it will be closer though. -
Bracken County @ Mason County 12/16/14
Doppler Don replied to GoRoyals's topic in KY Boys Basketball (High School)
I don't see how Bracken matches up. MC is very good, and one of the top 2-3 teams in the 10th. MC by 35. -
No Ky Coaches Poll - Week #2
Doppler Don replied to Baseball Nut 24's topic in KY Boys Basketball (High School)
Looking forward to a very good game. Could go either way. I agree it will boil down to how well CC handles the pressure, and how Wilson is defended. -
Newport at Campbell County 12/16 Predictions
Doppler Don replied to Walter's topic in KY Boys Basketball (High School)
My opinion - CC is a better team this year as well. Jackson is off the charts good, and Wilson is playing at a higher level. CC is also a deeper team this year than they were last year. The fact that Newport lost to Brossart is also a mitigating factor. -
