UmayBright*but

I have heard many parents yell the exact opposite of what a kid has been taught many times.

Did I take your post about Coach Biggs (In another thread) wrong? You sounded critical of him only playing 7/8 players.:popcorn:

I think some can be coach problems, but I seem to think most problems are parental. I would like to think there are more good Coaches than bad. How do Administrations deal with supporting the coaches?

After reading the thread about Ashland/Boyd Basketball, I was wondering how many of the problems there are from parents not kids? What do you think a coach owes a parent? Does a coach need to communicate with parents or are they coaching their kids? Do the kids quit because of the coach or because of their parents problems with the coach? Are the kids to "soft"? Is it just to hard? There is a lot more questions here, but I think you get it!

So how much do you think playing a DIII schedule hurts? I'd say a bunch looking at this score.

I'm not arguing ,just stating my opinion and it is different than yours. Good Luck Tigers!

Maybe athleticism, but the ability to switch sports has to go to Slusher. Daniels is definitely struggling with the switch and it is my opinion that Slusher would have adjusted better. It is different types of athleticism. You are right about Downton though, he would have physically been able to make the switch and could have helped. You still have to put in the work though.

You cannot just play basketball during basketball season. That is the difference in this years team and teams of the past at Beechwood. You get better during the off season not just by playing 2 and a half months a year. That is what I mean by a pass. It takes a special athlete to excell at more than one sport. I'm not picking on JD but since he is the only footballer on the Tigers team he is the only example I have. I'm sure you have seen him play this year and there is no way you can watch him and say he is ready to contribute full time. It just isn't there yet. Now if Brady Slusher had decided to play being the type of athlete he is, I think his contribution would have made more of an impact. If the footballers are willing to work with the basketballers during the off season for the success of the team than that is GREAT. The past has not shown that to be a fact. NO PASS. Keep it going Tigers!

..and if they don't want to put in the time they shouldn't play. Joe Daniels has been a nice spot reliever but in no way been a factor in this teams success. He has only been with the team for a little over a month and still has yet to find his basketball timing. He is the only football player on the varsity, the rest of these guys have been practicing and playing together for months and through the summer. The football players cannot expect to show up in late December and become an immediate factor for a team. This has been a problem in the past for Beechwood basketball. Football players were given an immediate pass and special treatment. Rick Schumate has made them earn their place something coaches in the past have not done. Keep it up Coach!!!

Good for Holmes maybe more kids will get involved and stay involved.

Hall and Romes!!:bunny:

Hall was not on all the ballots. He was snubbed by a couple of coaches as were all the Beechwood players.

Have you seen Beechwood play?

That is why I said it is out of character for him. He is allowed to pick a winner and maybe you are reading to much into my post. By the way I know Mustang, nice man and I respect him. I doubt he has seen Beechwood play and I was comparing BHS schedule to BBHS and at this point do not see much difference.

How does it keep teams competitive? or who does it keep teams competitive with. The bigger schools would schedule the DIII schools, some DIII schools only set there sights on winning the conference. Schedule the DIII teams twice if you want but don't require everyone to play them twice.

I'm 100% sure that some DIII coaches left him off their ballot, not all but some. That in itself is petty! I'm sure not all the coaches are petty but it only takes 1 or 2 to turn it nasty. What is your opinion of playing each team twice in DivIII. Good/Bad/Neither?

I really find this post out of character for you Mustang. Remember we are talking about HS kids! Now tell me how to this point in the season, Brossarts schedule has been more challenging than Beechwoods?

It would be improbable that either Beechwood player would the NKAC DIII award seeing that last year a number of those coaches didn't even include Hall in their top 10. The coaches association award is a better gauge of the actually POY DII seeing that the pettiness of the DIII coaches doesn't come into play. Don't get me wrong Steven Love was a very deserving recipient, but leaving Hall off the your top 10, very childish.

We all know McGovney is an 8th grader but how many 8th graders played for Beechwood and who are they?

Walton and Gallatin are in the 8th and why don't you tell us how you really feel about Beechwood.

My sources tell me Nick Hall and Chas Hyde. Bryan had trouble with Beechwoods size and quickness.

I guess that all depends if you are in the Gym or out of the gym! Actually I think it is pretty smart on Beechwoods part ! Their kids their gym:lol:

...and why shouldn't they? It's just as important to them to have there fans there as it is to CCH to have their fans there. It is Beechwood's Home game you know! :thumb::lol:

Beechwood has been selling tickets all week.

Heard tonight all tickets are already gone! :mad:
