Watchmen

Sorry. Should have put everything in all caps

Ok. Sorry. I'm probably talking over your head. For the no sports minded that don't understand. Coaches typically work they lineups and attempt to develop thru the month of December. Schools out, I can now have your undivided attention to focus on the areas we have been exposed. Improve this month, Jan feb I cut rotations and focus focus on areas we need to improve. All season games are practice for post season. By end of December. If you have major glaring issues ( like not playing hard defense; I believe your words not mine) then my point is this time of year having to coach effort is a major concern That goes for ALL teams. Not just Scott girls. That's not passsive aggressive. That pointed. Read my earlier posts. I pointed several deficiencies for sk girls. I see some for sk boys. Saw some in Scott boys. Saw some in highlands girls. You get tho point ( I think) I'm not ripping a program. Throwing things out to discuss I hope. What I have learned in this site is a parent takes constructive comments wrong and go bonkers. To be honest. I know any one that is decent knowledge about coaching wouldn't disagree

Are you ok? How is it fairweathering when I don't want to travel out of town? Girls starting to play some games back in nky and their are plenty of games local to watch local while they are gone I watch basketball because I enjoy supporting the kids Yes I've watched scotts boys. Wanted to see the Ohmer kid play, love his game. Sk boys ( right around corner). A lot of sk girls Dixies boys, heard they had a solid team. Highlands girls, I like coach richies style. Have cov cath boys on my radar too. Just to name a few. Just like to watch their students. Lol Guess I'm fair weathered to the rest of the teams I've not watched? Or I get frustrated watching a team underachieve in the boys side? My choice. I will do as I please Even watched nky university boys So what's the point?

Size doesn't matter ................ if you can't get the ball up the floor. Good guards stir the drink. A great point guard runs the offense by distributing the ball and gets everyone involved

I'm not trying to be antagonistic. My point was that I heard the same thing that was posted on website. From both sides now Now i wasn't at the game so I will admit I may be way off base Way to far to travel for me. This time of year your hoping that the messages coaches have been sending all year are starting to get thru to their kids. It's alarming if scotts kids didn't give a strong defensive effort this time of year against one of their rivals. Defense is mostly heart

I heard the referees decided to call a sympathy game that resulted in 0 fouls for Scott in 2nd half. If that's true (0 fouls ). That tells me you played absolutely no defense or referees were trying to end game. Maybe a combined effort too I wasn't there but found it interesting that my Scott friend thought the refs could have tightened things up

Thanks for the updates. Sounds like the girls starting to get things rolling. Boys side going in wrong direction. Gonna have to get back to watching the ladies roll.

Ok. So is sk consistently over hyped? Issues among the players? Issues among the coaches and players? Issues with X's and O's ? Sk is year end and year out talked about this is there year. Yet year end and year out it seems they rarely make it past first round of region.

Thanks for updates. Please keep them coming I'm surprised by this score. Why is sk struggling ?

Wow. Sk must have been moving the ball around to score that many points Anyone at the game that can provide details? Was this a blow out from the start? Without seeing this game I predict a closer game next week

Maybe they should be Georgetown Scott county HS then.

Regardless.... the name is Scott High school. Not Covington Scott HS or Taylor Mill Scott HS

I watched the invitational as well. Couldn't agree with you more Clyde. What I don't understand is how the coach thinks this is preparing this years team for a run at the regional. Not being negative to the young kid, just saying that he is a few years away physically. He is a really good young skilled ball player but that isn't going to get sk thru tough physical games in the region. I also heard some disgruntlement on the team, seems like they go thru that every year. JC has got to realize that if they want to reach there potential it's time for him to take over. Seems to be to nice of a kid but he must establish a presence in the paint for this team to get past hopefully the first round of the region Coach Steiner also needs to start building for the post season. Heavier heavier doses of JC and more of a consistent dose of the players that can get this team thru the regionals. Time to stop experimenting with the younglings and time to start building a rotation. It's almost Jan so time will soon be running short

Not arguing with what you say in the surface. But it would be nice to know how well a teams shoots 3's Rebounds etc... that being said is if you don't scout your opponent. It's hard in high school with limited time and budgets to scout an opponent a lot. With that said, if a coach does his homework he will know his opponents. But I would still like the same level of access to my stats as they do mine

I think your are right in the fact sk is out running and pressing more. That's one element, another is she seems to post at times and girls just simply look at her and don't give her the ball. Then I think she becomes tired or frustrated and doesn't post She could flat out dominate a game if she was fed the rock and finished It would be good to see her force fed one game just to see what she could do with volume opportunities. But she has to want it too. She has the ability to be one of the most dominate players. Whoever gets her in college could find a gem. If she ever decides to commit to becoming the best version of herself. I haven't seen many that stop her

Meier not hurt. You are correct though. She needs to put herself in the conversation.

Thoughts and prayers for #20. Hope she has a speedy recovery.

Agree ball89 Balanced scoring will help this team against some of the states top teams. The good news is they still have a lot where they can improvem Ball movement is good at times but we still have a few that hold it when one more quick pass and you have a wide open shot. Especially against the zone. I thought they did a really good job against waltons 1-3-1. They were well prepared to see that zone. Also had the kids in great position against the 2-3 but we were our own worst enemy when we moved the ball a few players would stop the ball movement as if they wanted to shoot when all they had to do was swing the ball one more time. Also blew several fast breaks when the primary ball handler kept the ball when a team mate was wide open for an uncontested layup. PASS and get the guaranteed 2. Team ball not me ball. Good news out of that though is they created these opportunities thru good defense. This team is fun to watch when they get after you defensively. I can tell you that if your not interested in playing hard defense the coaches have plenty on the bench that will. Girls missed a bunch of rotations in the first half on there press, but looked much better in 2nd half and that's what created the separation on the score. Sk did a really nice job rebounding. Probably best effort of the season. If they can continue to play hard defense, get their defensive rotations down (if your not interested you not playing mentality from coaches). Rebound, take care of ball and move it. No ball stoppers. This team will continue to improve leaps and bounds. After watching sk bench play. There girls they put in late are long and can really get after it. If teams think they can let up when they are in that is a mistake. This group comes in with more energy and is hungry to prove they should get minutes. They are developing nicely and can see them playing key roles somewhere this season As I said earlier. Walton is a good team. They really handled the ball under pressure and played hard. Sk defense eventually got to them onseveral key chunks that allowed them to pull ahead and continue to distance. I don't agree that Walton isn't athletic. They seemed to be athletic but were just overwhelmed tonight

Walton Verona is a nice team. I think they will make some noise this year and are certainly not as devoided of talent as some have said. They will have their bumps in the road but will also give a lot of teams all they want Offensively Walton shoots then all pretty well but they really need to develops some type of inside game. They are also not a selfish team which leads them to some great looks due for their ball movement Defensively They can throw multiple looks at you and need to continue to refine There 1-3-1 is effective and so is their 2-3 Zone press and man to man need to tighten up and I can see that coming as the year plays out If you overlook the bearcats you may find yourself in a battle

Congrats Williamstown. Very nice win for the program

:popcorn: Capediem? Cap?

Gilliam among others may very well find their way back in the starting lineup. The good news is that your coaches have options. Options make your players work harder to get in the starting lineup and rotation. Working harder makes you a better player. I found that when my kids played that I had to remain positive with them and encourage them to work. In the end, they are all grown and thankfully very successful and I would like to think these lessons helped them along that path. Don't sale your coaches short, encourage your kids to work hard and enjoy the opportunity and blessing it is to play on a talented team. Sometimes is the parents that are more upset than the kids. If your a parent, take a deep breath and pull for all the players on the team. As Jesse James said.... enjoy the ride!!!

Very well said.

Can you even walk behind the visiting bench? I thought you had to walk in front of the bench to be able to access the stands?

Man there is so much mis-information on this thread that I thought I turned on MSNBC for a moment
