If Holy Cross only had a coach that would coach to the strength that his players have and not what works best for his son, And what he wants them to be.....

Guess some things will never change. Or maybe they will next season....

Was a good game to watch as a bball fan as far as closeness, Other than that was a sloppy game. Congrats to Newport for going forward with the win.

Definitely to much of the bigs from HC for Beechwood to handle. It's tough to defend someone in the paint when they outsize you by that much.

Don't worry we're still here. I wasn't at the game so I can't comment on the game itself. Congrats to the players for getting a win.

Get a a good cpa, that's the best I can tell you. You may need a tax attorney, but i would try the CPA first. I have been thru this before, it sucks. I still fight with Campbell county every year. They send me a tax bill for " estimated taxes for earnings in Campbell county" every year along with the penalties, and interest. I haven't done any business in Campbell county since 2013. Lol

I will agree with this Clyde. I will also say in the history of youth sports there is a "direct correlation" of playing time when the coach has a child, or relative, or freinds son on the team.

Trust me the critism was there last year when he kept playing Nolan. It just didn't make it here.

I have never seen where any one said that Nolan Schrand is the problem. It had been stated that he is not the best player on the team, therefore why does he get more minutes than anyone else? And just because you can shoot the ball, well, there is more to the game than that. If anyone says the reason this team is losing is because of Nolan Schrand, their blaming the wrong Schrand.

Another case of media not telling the whole or correct story. Happens every day. Thats why you don't believe anything you hear in the media when it first comes out.

And this has what to do with my response to 23 fan? But you do make valid points. I'll go one step further and say this: just because you coach AAU or HIGH SCHOOL bball doesn't mean your a good coach. I've said it for a while now- half the AAU coaches are horrible. And half the school coaches are horrible also. My sons AAU coach telling him after a game that he; didn't run as fast as he could have in transition, shot flat, didn't box out every play, didn't close out with both hands up, or didn't go strong to the basket are things that give me bad opinions of the school coach?

Anyone have the bracket? Haven't been able to find itt on here anywhere?

No matter the outcome? Except for 2 games, the "OUTCOME" had been the same! And in this thread nobody has mentioned any certain players. Coaches yes. As for your comments about the fans, PARENTS make up most of the fan base on away games so your calling all these players parents pathetic? That is totally uncalled for. I can see them cheering from across the court so your remarks are unwarranted and false. I know a couple of those parents real well and I'm sure they would like to know who you are about right now.

Bengal maniac- you stated that you haven't seen HC at all. You are correct that coaching didn't cause unforced turnovers. But then you say coaching wasnt a negative factor in this game. Who gets put on the floor with the other players and when is coaching. This game to someone who hasn't seen HC yet would probably not see what the rest of us have been watching all season. It was a less than usual so not as bad. I'm not going to repeat it, you can look in other threads ( games).

Who are you talking to? I responded to your post about the crowd being pathetic and your idea that us parents are sitting at home making excuses and that we should be telling them to look in the mirror and figure it out. All I can do is try and make my son a better player and try and get him to play like most know he can.

So the whole Holy Cross crowd is pathetic?You need a reality check. I was sitting with a group of parents (including myself) and we may not be crazy loud or obnoxious but we cheer our team on. Guy next to me was sending out updates of the game on his phone. And my son gets critiqued by me, his AAU coach and sometimes another coach after every game. He knows what he needs to do. He also is smart enough to see what's wrong.

They struggle because almost every thing they do is designed to get a shooter a good open look instead of trying to get the ball inside first, which could get a bucket or collapse the defense to the middle which would open up the shooter any way. This team doesn't pass the ball well enough or fast enough to get open looks on the perimeter. COACH THE KIDS YOU HAVE AND WHAT THEY CAN DO BEST, NOT WHAT YOU WANT THEM TO BE AND WHAT THEY CAN'T DO. that is what makes a great coach, being able to coach what you have and be competitive.

I saw a bit of a difference in this game from previous HC games. A turn for the better I hope. Am I the only person who sees what happens when Schrand puts in "shooters" in the last seconds before a quarter or half or end of game?

As a fan of the original version of " Tennessee Whiskey", I think Chris Stapleton does a great job with his version, changing it enough from the origional version to make it sound like a different song. Most of today's county music fans don't even realize that Stapleton's version is not the original. That being said, this guy Changes it just a little more to make it sound even more like a " pop song" instead of a country song. Don't like it at all because I am an old school country music fan. But I will say guy is good! Sounds better than half of the these clowns they sign today...

Thats a good one. Lol

I say this every time a person or group commits an act of terrorism; IF SOMEONE WANTS TO KILL SOMEONE OR GROUP OF PEOPLE, THEY WILL DO IT ONE WAY OR ANOTHER AND LAWS WON'T STOP IT FROM HAPPENING! The only thing that can stop it is if someone finds out their plan and stops it in advance. In this case, if he did not have ammo with him, he could have went few minutes down the road purchased ammo , came back thru an UNSECURED area of the airport and did the same thing! If this is what he was on a mission to do, not having the ammo with him would not have stopped him! Only changed the timing.

While Holmes did cause HC to turn the ball over sometime, a lot of HC turnovers were unforced, especially in the first quarter, which led to Holmes getting points off turnovers in transition. Holmes also had some unforced turnovers as well.

I would have to disagree on that totally. Not saying they would have won, but they have definitely faced better competition and prevailed. Of course there were other players as well. One thing is for sure, they couldn't be successful trying to run the offense that HC does..
