HOOPSCOACH

Who won the U10 division?

Any scores from the KBA this weekend?

We haven't cut back but we are being smarter on where and when we play. The last couple of seasons we would play anywhere, anytime. This season we are mainly looking at the competition level.

I haven't been to BCI a lot but it sounds like a nightmare. My son's team played there once this season and it was an alright tourney. I can't believe he won't call you back.

Anybody at the BCI this weeked?

Pouncy of the Tarheels told me the new owner was determined to make this work and to be first rate. He said he is trying pull in some of the top teams in the counrty over the summer months. Should be a great place to get ready for nationals at.

Any reports from Lewisburg?

What age groups are they having for this tournament? Where can I get some info?

Who have they played?

Sycamore High School in Ohio has a nice one January 2-4. Man to man defense only. They do a nice job up there. Go to http://www.sacbasketball.org for more info. I also believe Sports Plus in Reading Ohio had one in January. KBA usually has a Winter Festival Tournament in January. As one poster said if you can get the Fieldhouse in Indy, they do a very nice job as well. We go up there every summer.

Where is the better competition at, Hoops, Mid America or Basketball Acadamy in Lville?

Good points. If you going to play against these kids in high school. Might as well play against them in grade school.

I asked if the other teams are that bad? I still can't believe you hold a team to zero field goals without pressing a large part of the game. Or jumping them at half court like the Wolfpack teams try to do.

5TH grade Wolfpack team according to the Sports of all Sorts website has won 61-2 and 58-1? Is this correct? Why would any coach beat another team like this? Are the other teams that bad?

Watched some good games at Lloyd this weekend. In the 8th grade division looked like Twenhofel stood out. They have some nice players outside of Racke on that team. They beat Grey by about 20pts. Connor's 8th grade survived a game with Woodland in OT. Some bad coaching in that game for Woodland. In the 7th grade I thought Connor, Twenhofel looked to be the best teams. Walton has the two best players with McNeil and the red hair boy, but their supporting cast isn't very good. Twenhofel would have beat Connor but the coach was letting all his players play lots of minutes. Where as Connor only played about 6 kids all night. Connor has lots of size and speed and should do well this year. Grey's 7th grade won two games but they need a player other than the big kid to step up and play.

I agree 100% about Logan, played his tail off. Great game as well. Flight came back in the forth to win. NK Wildcats won the 4th grade divison, beating the Nuggets in the Championship. And got a little revenge on Jackson County on Saturday.

No beer sales at the BCI this weekend, just good basketball and bad refs. 4th grade team to beat look like the NK Wildcats. 5th grade at a 5/6 grade team in called the DC Nuggets with some big kids. I got to see some 8 grade ball. The Wolfpack has talent but didn't play well together. Should be some good games tody.

4th grade team is playing in the 4th grade division.

Things should get very interesting now at the BCI. Dave is selling beer at Sportsville? I know times are tough but this is bad idea. He has youth school teams playing there during the week. Then on the weekend things get heated up already sobber. Wait till one of the drunk moms start yelling at the refs.:jump:

If your a coach it is worse on the wife. I end up keeping two or three kids after a game and she has to feed 4 growing boys after two and three games. Not to mention take care of our other kids and me.

Dave is an optimist;)
