  1. 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.

     

    Know nothing about your members' allegations but I do know that for any student to be enrolled in a Boone County School they must reside

    in the district. The only other students that are allowed to attend a Boone County school if they are out of district are children of employees of the school system. So if a player is attending Ryle High School then they were approved by the Central Office or they would not be in the school. Everyone who enrolls a child in a Boone County school has to show proof of residency.

  2. 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.

     

    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.

  3. 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".

     

    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.

  4. 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?

     

    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.

  5. Ryle is definitely young. They also have made a couple of interesting hires in their girl's basketball program recently. These hires seem to be geared towards 2 or 3 years from now and not the present. As far as kid's leaving the program, it would be hard for upperclassmen to stay, especially when they are not playing.

     

    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.

  6. Only the 2nd game together as a full squad and 5 weeks to get better before tournament play. This team is very dangerous. Very athletic and they play hard and play together. Tonight they played 2 8th graders, 3, Freshman, 2 Sophmores, and 1

    Junior. I, too would not be surprised to see them right there at the end this year. Ryle outcored Highlands by 14 from the floor and Highlands won this game at the line 24-33 while Ryle was 6-18. This was a great game to watch as both teams played hard and have great players. This was the first time I have seen Ryle play this year with

    Moss and Crittendon back in the line-up together with their team and they and their

    team are fun to watch.

  7. I watched Ryle play Notre Dame and Boone County this year. In those games the freshman that transferred from Walton Verona (#4) ran at the point for most of each game. I assume the sophomore that you are referring to is #23. She didn't play point in those two games. In fact, it looked like she didn't want *ANYTHING* to do with handling the ball. Looks like she just wants to catch and shoot. Maybe they have tried her at point in easier games, I don't know.

     

    From what I saw of Crittendon last year, she looks like she would be Ryle's best bet to take over the point position. Good handle, makes good decisions, and confident. They don't have anyone (except Moss) with that combination until Crittendon comes back.

     

    Actually, Moss ran the point for Heritage two years ago as a seventh grader. I think she would create a very interesting mismatch for just about any point guard in Northern KY this year. Instead, Ryle has her playing on the block.

     

    Ryle could be tough once Moss and Crittendon are at full strength. They also have a very good looking eighth grader (#25). They will make everyone around them better.

     

    I saw the Ryle vs. Boone game and Moss played the perimeter in that game most of the time. Moss is a swing player and that is what she did in that game. Anybody that actually knows the game would have seen that. When #4 was on the bench #23 ran the point for Ryle.

     

    You are the same person who said that when Jump hit 6 consecutive 3's in a game that that was not great shooting. Again, how many times have you hit 6 consecutive 3's in a competitive situation? This is the point WV Frank was trying to make. Ryle is a very, very young team that is good now and going to be great so

  8. It is true that Ryle is 7-1 at this point in the season. However, you can't simply look at their record and say they are a good team. Look at who they have played.

     

    The teams that Ryle has beat have a combined record of 13 wins and 30 losses. Not a very strong schedule so far in this season.

     

    The only respectable team that Ryle has played is Notre Dame. Ryle lost that one by 27 points.

     

    They will be strong once Crittendon and Moss are back at full strength.

     

    Any team that can go 7-1 without its top 3 scorers and rebounders is a good

    team regardless of who they are playing. Ryle played Notre Dame without

    2 starters and with Moss playing in her first game back in which she played

    less than half the game. Notre Dame is at full strength and a very good veteran team and you want to base whether or not Ryle is a good team basd on that one game. Notre Dame dominated the first half in that game and Ryle

    played them to a 4 point game in the 2nd half. Ryle is good team now because they have found ways to win as a team through adversity and this will only make them that much stronger when they get at full strength.

  9. Can Ryle put it all together to compete in the post season? I thought they would be better based on summer play.

     

    Ryle is 7-1 to date. Team was won without 3 of their starters most of the season. I would say they have done an outstanding job of winning as a team

    with their depth especially as young as they are. Looks like the coach is playing 10- 12 players a night gaining great experience and still winning. How many programs could lose their top 3 scorers and rebounders and still win?

    This speaks for the depth of this team. I would say they will be very

    strong once they are at full strength in the post season.

  10. I heard Montgomery ran out to big lead early and started subbing and thats when Ryle mad their run. News travels fast across the 10th/11th region basketball:ylsuper:[/quote

     

    This game was a tale of two halves. Montgaomery jumped on Ryle quick and got up as many as 19 before Ryle knew what hit them. Ryle played 12 players in the first half and Montgomery Co. played 8. Ryle cut the lead to 12at halftime. In the third Ryle picked up the pressure and cut the lead to 1. In the 2nd half Ryle played 10 players and Montgomery played 9. From someone who was actually at the game and scouting both teams Ryle played more subs than Montgomery County in both halves. Believe me from about midpoint in the 3rd period both of these teams were playing hard and trying to win. For Ryle to cut a 19 point margin against Montgomery's top 8 players was impressive. Both teams played hard and will only get better

    as the year goes on.

  11. Not real sure if I would agree that it's going to be a good match-up. Whether good or bad the absence of Moss has dropped Ryle's stock quite a bit. Ryle does have some excellent young players, but that probably won't be enough to propel them by a quality team like Montgomery County.

     

    Was at the scrimmage tonight and Ryle won 65-62. From what I saw tonight anyone who plays Ryle this year better come to play. They are quick, athletic, strong, and can shoot the basketball. This team will get after you and not let up. Much better than the Ryle team that I saw play last

    season in the District Tournament.

  12. Don't you think if these girls were coming to Walton they would of attended basketball camp and open gym. Maybe even attended team camp. Like I said before you are only starting rumors.

     

    Not starting the Walton transfer rumors just responding to them and the ignorance of some in regard to rules. Girls in question could not attend

    team camp or organized summer practices with high school coaches until

    officially enrolled in Walton Verona Schools. Again, some need to know

    the rules before we speak.

  13. If the transfer does happen, that will be 2 in the last 2 years from the same AAU team that is coached by a Walton parent. Wonder if the KHSAA will start investigating the situation.

     

    Tiger 1, in addition to the PG rumored to be coming to Walton now you are aware of the girl that in your description can shoot it from anywhere. One transfered in last year and two more possibly this year and all are from different schools but on the same AAU team. Maybe just a coincidence. You are the one that implied that this coach was allowed to talk to his players and that the KHSAA could do NOTHING to the Walton program.

  14. You might be right about Bylaw 10, but I never used the word recruiting.

     

    I will leave it at that.

     

    You said he was allowed to talk to any of his players about attending Walton

    Verona and my point is Bylaw 10 defines that as recruiting whether

    he is only a parent as you first stated or a coach in Walton's middle school

    program. Do not know if this person has done this but before you make such a strong statement you need to know the rules.

  15. The coach of the AAU team can talk to any of his players about attending Walton. He has no affiliation with the school and therefore the KHSAA has no power to do anything to the Walton program.

     

    Tiger 1, you might want to check out Bylaw 10. Recruiting is not allowed

    by a peer, parent, coach, etc. If I am not mistaken this coach mentioned

    has a direct affiliation with school when he is coaching middle school

    basketball for Walton Verona. So no he can not talk to any of his players

    about attending Walton Verona.
