Unspoken Truth

Ethan is not as strong as Hatton was as a rising soph, but Snapp is very young for his grade. Really close to being considered as playing up a year. My point is that he will continue to mature physically for a while.

IMO Ethan Snapp can play. In two years he could Potential lead NKY in scoring ( few things will have to take place) Best shooing guard in his class by far I don't think he is in the top 5 in that class but he maybe in the top 10

I hate to string you along but what the heck -- it's all in good fun. Think hard. You've forgotten one player from that group.

Steffen Green and Ceon Lucky are the best freshman Basketball player of this group at Holmes,

I'd be totally shocked if it was Grammer. It sounds as if he left on bad terms. He applied last year for the JV job they had and didn't get it according to Mullins.

Not 100 percent but I think Grammer was over in Norwood Hs Last I heard but this has been about a year or two

"and Snapp did a nice job with the kids from Newport" I don't like beating a dead horse, but. The kids snapp was dealing with are not from Newport, 4 of the five starters are Cincinnati kids, the other one lives in Covington. Only one kid that played lives in Newport. Maybe say snapp had a god year at Newport High. Which they did.

:clap::thumb::laugh::taz: Exactly: What grade problem seemed every one was able to play all year. Grades didn't seem to be a problem A few on the bench and Jv team lived in Newport

The part that is bolded about Holy Cross not even having a winning record which they did last year with one of the toughest schedules in the state.

Your are Correct. 16-12 Had a very tough schedule.

 

Not my place to say. If you're that interested, email Coach Snapp. I'm sure he'd be more than willing to share with you his experience in coaching at each stop.

 

Outside looking in Typical inter-city Kid. Who are half as bad as people think they are. Kids in those situations have to feel comfortable with the coach and know the coach doesn't have a hidden agenda!!!! If not there will be all Kinds of problems.

 

Snapp has done a great job at Newport with what he has been dealt. I don't think some of you realize how tough of a gig that is. Walk a day in Snapp's shoes as head coach of that program and get back to me.

 

 

 

Exactly what has he been dealt at Newport, What is so hard about the job at Newport?

Please be entitiled to your opinion. Everyone has one and that is what this site is for. You have basically discredited all of Snapp's varsity wins at Newport for one reason or another, and since you feel in your opinion that he is no more qualified than any of the JV coaches who have applied. Would you please tell me how many varsity wins they have combined and then we will compare them to Snapp's and see who has more experience running a varsity level program.

Yes Snapp has more varsity experince. Hence JV coaches. Who's to say if these guys was in his place they wouldnt successed?

Not discrediting Snapp by any means I never said he was a bad coach. Howver I am discreding the schedule he put forth and played if you can look at Newport Schedule the last 3 season and say that is a qulity schedule you are fooling yourself.

If he gets the jobs so be it I wont lose any sleep over it for I don't care either school.

What info is that exactly there is a lot in there

[i don't care who gets the job, no dog in the fight but I have watched a coach make lemonade out of lemons and advance the program to somewhat relevant which is way more than can be said of Ryle of late. No coach who has been winning at the varsity level on the consistent basis that you seem to be looking for is going to leave it to take "this" job.

What else do you make Lemonade out of? I too do not have a dog in the fight: What I said was that he is not anymore qulified that the JV coaches who has been named see my previous post. Again I was simply giving my opinion but apparently I am not allowed to have one on this topic. But to help you understand what I mean I called up my buddy at the KHSAA: Year 1: 11-18 -10wins against bad teams. Year 2: 15-14 14wins aganist bad teams and a Heritage Acadmey Christmas tournement Championship which included Dayton Bellevue, Heritage and Silver grove.. Way to get it donw. St Pius 7th grade team could of won that tournement. As well as a tournament in Bellevue with the some of the same teams a week before. Them two tournement only acounted for half the teams win that season that very impressive. Wow. Same players who took this years team to the Semi Finals of the Region before for the got expsoed for the bad team they really were But I guess that IYO that lost to cov cath falls on the players and not the coach. Year 3 4: Quliity wins out of 21

How does this Quilify him for the Ryle Job

Players Win Games and Coaches Lose them and he was out coached and embarrassed;

So again IMO he is not the guy for that programs that is my Opinion if you don't like my Opinion you don't have to respond.

 

Surley not tring to come off that way for I don't even know the man or have i ever spoken to the man. so i could not have a personal agenda. I have seen him coach before. If Snapp is who you think to have the job at Ryle then that is your rightful opinion as it is mine own opinion to think he is not the man for the Job. Since you seem to know him tell use what qualifications does he have that the other aplicants do not, outside of 3 mediocore years a Newport with one winning season.

Do a lil homework before discounting Snapp's effort, hasn't really won anything - wow, he's been a head coach 2 years so what the heck are you looking for. #1 considering what he has had to work with at Newport he has gotten the absolute most out of his players. He can't help the district he plays in so quit holding that against him as that is what it is. Considering Newport did the following: Beat Dixie not once but twice, Beat Holy Cross not once but twice, Beat Cooper at Cooper, Lost to both Holmes and NCC by only 7 points, and finally was a regional semi-finalist so I would think this more than qualifies him for "THIS" job. Many may think he may have had some cupcakes on the schedule who doesn't, but they need to look deeper in the schedule and understand that this guy can coach.

 

Ryle hasn't been a team that has mattered since the days of Doleman (sp?) so they could alot worse than Snapp. If there is not alot of outside interest in this job this would be a good coach to put into place.

In a down region Newport did contend yes. Lets look at the schudule a little closer. Beat Dixie? Dixie w/o Hatton wouldn't win 10 games: Holmes was the first game of the year and a rival game! NewCath rival game! lost by 7 in game two, with out the Siebert kid and was blown out by 30plus in regular season, beat Holy Cross on there first game of the year and on a Questionable call in the All A: A win is a win and a lost is a lost. You need to give kids from Newport a little be more Credit than it sounds because by anymeans them boys down there can play some ball. Snap hasn't down anymore than the previous coach. Snap didn't win when he was the freshman coach at Dixie and didn't have a winning season as the two previous season at the helm with the same bogus schedule. The region was down this year and Newport took advantage of this and gave Snapp his first winning season. With the help of a week Schedule. Holy Cross didn't even have a winning record, So back to my original statement IMO" In My Own Opinion" I dont think he is anymore Quilified than the other JV coaches. He can't win where he is at. What makes him "The Man" for the Ryle job.

I never thought Snapp would get this job, even though he still might, but to have not been interviewed after all this time doesn't sound good for him. I really like Rod, but I don't know if Ryle is the best place for him.

Agree not sure if he is the rite guy for the job. He hasn't really won anything. So IMO he is just as unproven as the head man just as the other JV Coaches who have been mentioned for the job. With the talent he had and the schedule he played them kids could of won them games without a coach. Easy to win Bellevue and Heritage Academy tournaments. Scheduling was awful seems like someone was trying to rack up easy wins similar to stat padding. Make it look like you doing something win your really not. Just my opinion.

Aren't they the same age?

 

I am a big fan of both so I am not trying to put one down to build one up.

Bolden has two year of high-school left

Draud would turn the program around. He's not the only person who can. However, it's going to take a number of years no matter who's the coach.

I was just simply given my opinion on who I think would be more beneficial to that program, in terms of experience, and resources and knowledge of the game. As well as his own back ground and experience, in the two jobs he has had he was a winner in both places, I wasn't saying there wasn't any other good coaches who can't I was just given my opinion. But if he has pulled his name out or has never applied then it doesn't matter

Not sure what you are asking? I am not going to open that can of worms on here, especially if he is not even in the running for the position.

I was just asking, if the kids didn't like him or what. I M O I think Draud would be the best candidate if he did apply. He could turn that program around. You can PM me if you want

Hawkins looked a couple inches taller and has a better body overall.

He still has two years to tone his body up and get stronger with his quickness, skills and speed. Its a possibility.

Good choice on his part IMO. I know there are several kids currently in the program that would have walked away had he been hired.

Why is do you think that is,

Varsity coach has a son/daughter that played for him/her.

Varsity coach takes a new job elsewhere and decides to take their kid with them.

Varsity coach stays in same residence.

 

What is/should the ruling be on the kid's eligibility?

 

If a kid's parent is a teacher and coach does that change anything?

I think the boy should and would be eligible to play for Dad will now be an employee in the District

Trentman of Brossart, Wright of Newport, have seen Marcus Hill dund in a game yet. How ever in the warm up lines It him and Wright. They are more Creative than Treatmen. With that said Trentman has had More dunk in a game that has been more impressive this year then I think Wright has had. Especially the last month or two of the season.

Montverde has Devin Williams that us to be at Cincinnati Withrow and DeAngelo Russell who is from Louisville

Is that the Deion Sanders school?

Yes Prime Prep is Deion Sanders school

They are not just talking about the dunks. They are proving a point that the players listed here have great jumping ability. I suggest you get out of this thread... You are looking like a complete idiot. You appear toy don't know how to use this website. The best advice I can give you is to stop posting. All you are doing is trying to cause trouble.

No suggestion need or will be abided by. I was just relating what you told me. You need to learn to respect others post. Just cause its not what you wanna hear. Not trying to cause trouble just giving MY opinion. I started speaking of Dunks after someone else did. I didn't see you attack there post. So

Haynes was a great leaper, and he did not dunk softly. Great scorer as well. I remember watching Holmes vs Withrow, and they had two 6'7 or 6'8 players in the middle, one being John Jacobs that ended up at UC. In a half court offense, Campbell took a drop step into the middle and dunked over both their big men. I would say Cambell was 6'0, maybe 6'1 at best. If ESPN showed HS highlights back then, it would have definitely been in the top 10. Has to be the best HS facial that I've ever seen.

OK please see Post 35 by Sports Fan 1230

THE THREAD IS NOT ABOUT DUNKING FOR PETE'S SAKE!!! It is who can jump the highest!( that guy is funny)

I would like to think Dwight was at least 6' I would say 6'1 Now his little brother Josh could get up too and he was under 6 foot.

Ronald Cotton from Boone a few years ago could really get up!

Cotton could Leap!!!!!!
