Really, Coach of the Year??

 

I think Joe does a great job and Lewis definitely has the advantage on the sidelines tonight vs Tackett but I don't think Lewis, with an 11-14 overall record, and 8-9 in the Region, has overachieved. They finished in the 16th Region about where everyone expected them to. Coach of the year comes down to Boyd's Coach Anderson, Rowan's Coach Thacker, or Elliott's Coach Adkins.

IMO Coach of the Year shouldnt be the team that has the best record, but most of the time it does. It should be the a coach that takes a team and stays in and wins games that they shouldnt (like on paper). Coaches vs talent this is a topic all the time. Give me a great coach and he can take some underachievers and win.

Lewis by 10

Good win?

That may be true, but it always helps to have good players to help out, I be 9 out of 10 players of the year come from the best team. Just seems to be that way. op is it shouldn't matter how good the team is, but how good the player, I`m guessing a last place team has never had a Player of the year. I think Callahan was the right pick.

I'm not saying he wasn't the right pick. I just think with a player with Larry's ability will make Ryan a lot better. That's all.

And I bet if you take the point guard off Rowan he struggles. Callahan is only as good as the players around him.

I think a lot in the 16th region has missed out on senior night activity

Another big snowfall coming sat morning!

Have the district ever been cancelled because of weather? If so do they take top 2 teams and move them on to districts.

I haven't either shoelaces.

What happened to the guy or gal that was posting about the 16th region? Looks like every other district and region is being talked about.

Great coaching is a must! You can have all the talent in the world which will win you alot of games but when facing a great coach with as much or close to same level of talent the great coach will come out on top.

Greenup Co got win number 10, with the help of Rose Hill and Bath co. (9&10). I really hope Harold , realize `s how bad he is and moves on. But I am sure in his mind , he thinks he does a good job,. And if Greenup makes a run like they did last year in tournament , Harold will say the same , he build`s his teams for the tournament. Witch is a bunch of bull. Harold please if you care , give it up.

There are a few more Harold's in the 16th. Nobody ever see's there own faults or mistakes

Any games being cancelled tonight because of so called snow.........:lol2:

Great win for the 16th region & even better for the 62nd district...................

2 wins. Rose Hill

Does coach Tackett live in greenup co?

That district tournament will be as interesting as the 62nd.

You can have all the talent in the world , but if you don't have a coach who knows how to use it , it doesn't matter. Sure talent will win some game`s, but wont get you all the way.

Oh how you are so right.

Don't get all butt hurt over it. I disagree. Elliott hasn't proven much other than Morgan can't beat them. You can use all the logic score to score and the fact remains that Boyd beat Elliott head to head. I'd say the schedules are a bit different as well.

 

There records are very similar, if and I say if Elliott beats them next week does that make them equal or just Elliott is playing better now? There are a few more things different than just schedules, enrollment plays a huge roll, new school for recruits and a better tax base to lure a coach with the quality of Coach Anderson. Boyd Co should always be the big dog in the 16th region & Oh and I am not butt hurt. Lol. It sore from last night but it's healing. Maybe next week the scab will fall off. If we can beat the lions of Boyd Co!

One thing Robert Scott Creech has never been accused of is being a great coach. Elliott county played terrible. Doesn't take coaching to know when you can't run with a far superior team, then you will have to take the air out of the ball.

Isn't that an example of coaching, taking what you've got and winning. Surely you give some of the credit to Coach Creech or are Elliott Co 2 assistant last night just horrible. Looks like he should get the nod for being able to recognize his talents and putting together a game plan and winning. Thats more than some of the area teams in the 16th have been able to do up till this point. I vote for Robert Scott Creech!

 

Elliott county lost to a bad Wolfe county team. That much has been decided. I think Elliott county is beatable by Rowan, Boyd, Morgan, East Carter, West Carter, Raceland, Fairview, and Lewis county. One game anything can happen. I do not have Elliott county shades on. Boyd lost last night, Elliott county lost last night. So we all agree Rowan is the team to beat....I put Elliott county 2 because I still feel like overall they are better than Boyd county. Boyd county on a 3 game losing streak btw. And Elliott has beaten Morgan 3 times already. Elliott lost to Boyd, Rowan lost to Boyd, Boyd beat Rowan and lost to Lewis, Lewis lost to Morgan, Morgan lost to East Carter, East Carter lost to Fleming, so it goes on and on. I'll hush so you guys can have your message board back, cause evidentily no one is allowed to have an opinion. You guys provide all of the facts always.

 

 

Elliott Co lost last night was a terrible one. The fact are Coach Adkins wasn't their and don't look the the team chemistry wasn't the same last night. Bad shot selection, forced shots it was just a horrible game to watch and listen to. 18-8 and Elliott takes a shot with 6 or 7 seconds left in the half and they miss Wolfe goes down and scores before the half. That's just one instance with numerous other ones.. Great game plan by Wolfe and lack of coaching from Elliott.. I see them learning from this and putting it behind them.

Here is another example of coaching vs talent.

East did beat Morgan and head to head it is 1-1 this year. Guess we will find out come district who has the better team. It is both, talent and coaching. East was ranked ahead of Morgan by 3 spots in the preseason, aren't they supposed to beat Morgan? Sure they were. I am not saying Baker is not a good or even a great coach, because I feel like he is doing a good job this year with his team. I am just trying to provide a few facts as to what was supposed to happen this year. Not hating on any coach, they put in countless hours with our kids to get them better. I appreciate all of the hard work of all coaches.

All I know is that there are a few posters that only want to pull the chain for Morgan Co. Morgan is very good team even with the additional player they received in the off season. My thinking is Elliott & Morgan has better talent than East & West and if you take less talent and win looks like we as fans should give props to these coaches. That's all I'm saying. Look past the records and into these teams players. And you will see Coach Baker is very deserving of the best coach in region.

Please explain your reasoning for Baker being the best coach in the 16th. I am not saying he is not. But they are just 12-11 and there are 6 teams in the region that have much better records. They also have 5 seniors on their roster.

I think he beat the team whom you are rooting for in OT! Which has two more dominating players that some posters on here keep including your self keep referring too. So you tell me is it talent or coaching?

This is somewhat of an upset, right?

Brandon Baker best coach in the 16th!
