Duly noted.

HS scores are probably better because kids can drop out at that point. Not apples-to-apples comparison. How many is multiple? 3 or 4. I think I can count 4 in the last 15 years that played college basketball.

There could be some competition of resources at the MS between sports and academics. And when you think about it, MC churns out a college ball player, what, every 10-15 years...if ever. Much higher likelihood of academic scholarships. They could be using resources more efficiently than the HS...IDK.

You could be right Cats3x. No reason for me to beat a dead horse. Better luck next year!

Lots of good points there. I probably am extrapolating too much into this single game, but it's hard to dispute the results of the last 11 years (23% win % in district tournament play). One would have to assume that the next 11 years will look very similar unless a change is made. That's all I'm saying.

Good insight Bball Legend. Enjoyed the dialogue by all. Here's to next year!

So they took 57% of shots during regular season, and then 84% last night. Maybe if they hadn't deviated so far from the average they would have had a better shot of winning.

A premise with no conclusion???? And???

I think you might be surprised how insightful I really am.

Can I "like" this a million times?

I have a much more robust rationale as well, but being a whistle-blower isn't my style.

Feel free to dispute my rationale. I think I was very clear.

I did last year as well after they lost the regional finals game that I thought they should have won.

I'll put it in a more positive way. Now would be a great time for Perry to step away and spend some time watching his son play in college as well as watch his daughters run track. Which if you are unaware, they are top in the state! Very good athletes like their mom.

Oh, I've had these concerns for the last 10 years. I just get aggravated when tourney time comes around and we continue to lose. I don't live in MC (from there though), and my kids will not attend the school there, but I think for some that do live there, my voice may resignate. For others, maybe not. I don't expect 100% consensus. But I do think my rationale is pretty solid-long period of time, consistent poor performance as compared to peers.

Yes, my agenda is to have a better basketball program. Get more talented kids to actually come join the team, and create a better environment for the players. I think that would be a very good thing for MC.

You got me there.

Do you prefer winning and holding people accountable for performance, or losing & making excuses?

But enough didn't go in. And they lost. And better shot distribution leads to greater chances of winning. Essentially, your logic is like saying "I don't care if they shoot from half court if they go in". Do you understand that?

So if you only look at the good years, his performance is better. Yea, that's rational. I don't think they will get rid of him. I'm just saying that his poor performance would justify it.

Because they shot a poor % and 84% of the shots came from 2 players. Duh.

I'm not slamming coaches or players. I think the players did a great job. But as a paid employee, I would expect better than annual bottom of the barrel production out of the head coach, though. Nothing is wrong with pointing out poor performance. That is what leads to improvement.

Trust me, if I was there, my analysis would be much more in depth. I only saw one game this year.

I wasn't. That's just info from season stats and the box score.

Agree with you, but with 4 teams, if you are "average", you will win 50% of the time. MC is not even average. At 23% district tourney game win-rate, they have been the bottom of the barrel over an 11 year period. Lots of excuses can be made, but I would prefer a winning coach, not a losing one. Are my expectations too high?
