Interesting list to say the least - can truly say this list is skewed! good thing about making projections - it gives you talking material. -
AAU Weekend Review 4/24-4/26
Coach_Sportsfan65 replied to HoopDreamsCoachQ's topic in AAU / Select / Club / Travel Sports
Western Ky Elite 16 U Red went 3 - 2 at the Pittsburgh Jam Fest. 15 U Red went 1 - 2. Overall, a good weekend but not a great basketball weekend. Visiting the Roberto Clemente statue in front of PNC was a highlight of the trip. -
I understand its a labeled "free for all" in recruiting players for AAU teams. The issues are two fold: first, the players & parents are escalating the recruiting process by entertaining the engagement. Second, please take any of my players because if they don't want to play in my program then you can have them. You will never win with those type of kids & parents. However, once they say 'no' - coaches / programs should leave them alone. Continued recruiting is being disrespectful and that could lead to future issues down the road. If coaches & programs are in the AAU circuit for the right reasons then all this other stuff should stop. Keep the kids first and everyone wins regardless of what the scoreboard says! Coach Rico Rosado, Western Kentucky Elite..... As you can tell, I believe in transparency and a CODE!

All Time Starting 5 by Region
Coach_Sportsfan65 replied to Mtown1995's topic in KY Boys Basketball (High School)
I could not find a 4th Region so with my limited knowledge I will throw some names out there to get the feedback started: Darrell Carrier - Bristow - now would be Warren East Jim McDaniel - Allen County - Scottsville Tony Key - Russellville Bubba Wells - Russellville ( I believe - I know his brother excelled at Todd Co.) Someone off the 68 Glasgow team J P Blevins - Metcalfe County Brandon Stockton - Glasgow Josh Carrier - Bowling Green Jerome Gumm - Barren County ( Sr. year only, transfer in) -
Billy Hicks responds to Jon Hood
Coach_Sportsfan65 replied to Plato's topic in KY Boys Basketball (High School)
There is and there will always be a population that have talented sons / daughters and realize that their current school system is either not competitive enough, exposing them enough or advancing their skill set enough to meet their expectations. Be it good or bad, parents are parents! Parents and players transfer for two basic reasons: going to Rupp or obtaining a college scholarship. I am sure academics, social outlets, or other social variables may skew the data but simply in KY high school basketball it is about playing in Rupp or playing at the next level. Is it fair - probably not , but as parents we all want the best for our child so that probably makes it fair or worth the scrutiny. Sometimes the transfer decision works out and sometimes it doesn't. -
Eddie Ford Hoopfest
Coach_Sportsfan65 replied to Coach_Sportsfan65's topic in KY Boys Basketball (High School)
Agree with the decreased attendance from the elite teams and total team entries in each age division. However, I did see some lower level D 1, couple of D 2, and a lot of NAIA coaches present. That part was a positive. Next week will bring the attention back to the Commonwealth and the city of Louisville. -
I know all the elite talent is out of state but has anyone been to the Eddie Ford Hoopfest. Comments?

Ohio County 2014/2015

Coaching change - have some solid young talent but heard from insiders that the program needs some stability and less chef's in the kitchen... -
Louisville Magic-17U
Coach_Sportsfan65 replied to PurplePride92's topic in AAU / Select / Club / Travel Sports
Possible Ville - Magic matchup at the Adidas if both teams win their first game tomorrow... Should be interesting if that happens... Good turnout of college coaches at the Adidas in Indy... Considering the Chicago Adidas event... -
All Stars: Indiana 104 Kentucky 94
Coach_Sportsfan65 replied to PurplePride92's topic in KY Boys Basketball (High School)
First, Kentucky needs to get rid of the political system behind the selection of its players. Second, there is a reason why we can't beat Indiana - its called sharing the rock and playing defense. Third, get kids that will forever cherish wearing the KY banner and a coaching system that brings accountability and ownership on every possession. Oh my bad, this is a meaningless all-star game to many so lets continue with our poor showing as no one really cares..... I remember when this game meant something to the bluegrass! Sorry for the rant! -
4th Region - new coaches
Coach_Sportsfan65 replied to Coach_Sportsfan65's topic in KY Boys Basketball (High School)
Unsure on the Todd County position. I think Carter will bring some energy to the Greenwood program. Still see the traditional top teams in each district still being the teams that will get to the region. You know the chicken salad - chicken sh_t analogy. Just ready to see some high school summer ball to get a clearer picture. I like SW 's returning talent but the behind the scenes (fiasco) in the hiring process prevented them from landing a game changer. Breeze has some high school coaching experience and AAU experience but others can provide a more detailed description of his coaching ability. -
John Tinsley is the new coach at Russell County. Jeff Hall is the new coach at Caverna (5th Region) Brandon Combs is the new coach at Warren East Deron Breeze is one of the leading candidates for the South Warren position whenever they decide to fill it. Brandon Stockton should be the leading candidate for the Glasgow position.

Did anyone see their games this weekend in the Cardinal Hoopfest against Memphis Hoopsters and Next Level? -
Warren East 2014/2015
Coach_Sportsfan65 replied to gold sunrise's topic in KY Boys Basketball (High School)
First of all, a new coach. Brandon Combs. Recently an assistant at Bowling Green and formerly a head coach at Cumberland County (4th region). Should bring some excitement to a team stuck in a very strong 14th district (Warren Central and Bowling Green). -

AAU State Updates
Coach_Sportsfan65 replied to afi100guy's topic in AAU / Select / Club / Travel Sports
Did any team challenge the Ville this weekend? Ky Gators have a bright future if they can keep the team intact. Next years 17 & U Elite 8 should be very exciting. Great weekend of basketball.
