:confused: My only assuption by this comment seems to be directed at the boys from Brossart. The times that I have heard one of them talk, put things on their web-site or even speak to the media they have done nothing but compliment their kids. My point was directed more towards those who are looking for the recogination for getting this event done, which would seem to be a group and not one individual. Again:confused::confused:

The people that run the Bank Of KY Center have been talking about this for a while now. Long before Mustang and the boys put out a press release. That aside, I thought this was for the kids and the opportunity to play in a first class arena, I guess I missed the part on who gets their name in lights. I also must be old school, because the days of just doing things for the kids and not worrying about making sure that someone gets the credit..... well I guess those days are gone. The reward should be in seeing a successful tournament that some can sit back and say to themself "wow that was something great to be a part of". Usually this takes a group effort to get things such as this accomplished.

As I stated I was sure that "someone" would disagree. Let's see you have blamed poor footwork and strength, both would be an effect of poor entry passes to the post or could be whomever was in charge of working with the post players. And not to forget, if one of these girls were being doubled down than again whose job is it to see this and correct? I saw last years team play enough to see that when you are playing a much smaller team(green/white) and not look to go high/low or have the entry pass come from the below the elbow to get the proper angle than whose fault was it? If you continue to feel that those two girls had a hand in the problems with NCC last season than I would encourage you to look at playing time minutes, YOU may be VERY supprised. I will be willing to bet that playing time continued to decrease for each of the players from their JR. to SR. seasons. So it is hard to "pout" about not getting the ball if you are not in the game.

In the games that I saw, it looked as if they did not use their size near enough. There were times that they had the size advantage with Cundiff and Cutter and chose to push the ball versus using the inside game to open up the outside. It also seemed that the angle of entry passes to the post were always made at a bad angle which put the post players at a disadvantage of having to spin into the paint, instead of sealing and attacking the basket by drop-step. I think this year you will see better entry passes and a much more disciplined team which will not only allow the post to be effective, but also allow Sandfoss to really show her skills. As in the past I am sure someone will not agree with this. :thumb:

"Those schools" better realize what they are about to lose!! Rick is one of the all time great guys for basketball not mention that NO ONE will ever find a better person. AD's in the 10th and 11th, remove your heads from the sand and get this done if you want the level of basketball to stay where it has been for the last 8 years:fight:

Did I say that Coach McDonald did not do this?? NO, what I am saying is that Coach Dawn has a proven record of doing so and should be commended for his development of young adults. And as for not understanding.... you may not, but it seems to me that you are trying to read too much into things. Coach McDonald has chose to move on, so she should be respected for that decision, but attacking former players/parents for her decision is what most of this thread has been about. As a coach, I am sure she would like to be respected for what was accomplished as a coach and not blame parents for her reason of not coaching. If she feels the need to blame parents for not coaching.... well we can all hope that this is not the case. I wish the best of luck to both coaches.

Let me make this a bit clearer. In the 9th Region for High School basketball boys or girls you will not find many any better. Does that help any???? Ron will run the team as it should be run and the players which play for him will not only become better basketball players but also very respectiable young women when their playing days are finished.

2 words: Ron Dawn; one of the best basketball minds in the game!!

If the family that you are referring to is from an out of the district feeder system than you are incorrect in your statement. May they have regrets now after their daughter has moved on??? And as for Brossart being happy to get out of district student athletes, if you are referring to a school in Cold Springs than you are incorrect again. That school is one of the feeder schools for Brossart and the out of district school would be NCC. Just trying to get a clearer response to your statement.:confused:

If this is true could Ron Dawn be the next coach??

I think everyone know who is calling the shots:irked: As we all have heard in the past, "this is his last year". Well, I think this situtation points out it is time to make that change in this position now. I credit a person which has dedicated his life to the catholic school system and the role he has played, but now is the time for someone that is younger, hungry to move the school in a new direction and is ready to grow with this area to take BBHS to a new level. Also, regarding a teaching position, you already have 2 coaches out of the building teaching at other schools, why not one more. If I am not mistaken, Coach O was not in the building. While it is the most preferred that the Coach be in the buliding, it is a little to late for that. Go get a good young coach from a quality program and make this happen. The kids and the future of this school/program are in serious danger of becoming a joke, lets do the right things and get this taken care of in the right manner and with bringing in the right person:

This has been talked about since March arnd from what I hear the Principal did not want this to become public???? I know that the AD, and some of the close football boosters wanted this out months ago realizing that the best chance for a decent coach would be much greater at that time. Why he waited until now to release this info who knows, but the only ones who may suffer at this point will be the kids. I did hear that one or two members of the coaching staff may be retained which will help with the current players, but the schools next choice must be a SMART one. This incoming class of freshmen have some good talent and the right coach may fall into a very good situtation for the future, not to mention some of the kids they have coming back in the upcoming season which may help them become more competitive. Nothing against Coach O, he is a very good person, but just not ready to develop a start up program. I commend him for trying to take on a difficult task, but this job needs to be filled with some experience. Good luck on your search Mustangs.

Corey Bankamper, the son of Campbell County wrestling coach Mike Bankamper was very seriously hurt in an accident at Lake Cumbeland. At this point he has gone through a number of operations, but still has a long way to go for recovery. Not only is Mike a great coach, but most importantly he and his wife Camey are GREAT people and GREAT parents. Corey is currently at UK Medical Center. Please extend your thoughts and prayers for the Bankamper family.

bad first quarter has put the Eagles in a big hole

bmustangs.com has the link for the radio broadcast via the net

Knowing Coach Carr, I will bet that his players are glad it is game day. Most of Coach Carr's practices are more intense than most games that are played:D I don't see Scott letting down at all this game. If they can prevent Montgomery from getting out to a lead early and have them play Scott's tempo look for this game to be a good one!! Coach Carr and his team seem to be coming together at the right time, so look for the Eagles to give Montgomery all the can handle and if it comes to the last second shot......... than you know who my money is on. Good luck Eagles!!

You may consider it stupid logic, but if you don't like what is going on than is it better to do something about it or just sit and type and complain??? You are correct it is a difficult job that is why only a certain few choose to do the job!! So, in my stupid logic I guess that I will support the stripes that choose to do the job rather than beat them up.

With your knowledge of the game, it sounds as if you would be a GREAT official. So with that being said, all you need to do is to go to the KHSAA web-site or talk to a current official that you feel is a good(if you think that their are any) get your patch and have at it. If you choose not to do the above than I guess you have no issue. As my momma always said, "if you can beat them, than join them", so with that being said sounds like it is time for you to join?? Good luck and hope see you on the floor next year:D

Is this game on radio or broadcast on the net?

It seems that Bellevue has had a good run this year. By looking at the roster the have a good number of Seniors. How have the JV and Frosh team done this year?

If my memory is correct the 2003-04 Frosh Brossart team won the district and if not mistaken may have won the Region?? So depending how you look at the season and year that would have been 4/5 years ago. Not trying to take away from the Camels accomplishment, but just trying to help with the facts.

Does everyone really think that this is in the best interest for the program?? Not knowing the complete story, but taking a real good guess, It sounds like this was just for the win. A coach must think about the long term effects of this move. While the coach may have gained a win, he may have lost the respect of the frosh players that have been there all year long. Is a win really that important to risk the future of the program?

PM are you and Mustang also selling some swamp land in Flordia?:laugh:

The All "A" has been one of the main goals for the Brossart team for the 07-08 season. Look for Brossart to be very well prepared to play this game. Give Coach Code and staff time to break a team down via past games and the chances of a different outcome increase dramatically, it is very hard to beat a team 3 times in the same season. Look for a hard fought contest tonight with Brossart getting the "W". To use a quote from Mustang: "this is a distance race and not a sprint, the horse that always takes the lead in the Derby very seldom wins the Derby". Which means look for this team to continue to get better as the season progresses and they may have an upset game or two up the sleeve in the future. Good Luck Mustangs!!

Why not give the Eagles some credit?? I would say that the Dixie and Simon Kenton games are some of the biggest regular season games that these teams play and pride is always at stake. With having "open enrollment":mad:, these games also mean a lot to all of the programs. If Dixie had a bad game, than maybe a Brad Carr game plan has something to do with the end results. Sound logical to me, but Tiger I am sure that you will disagree on this.
