I can't vote in this poll because I need a both. A good coach will know when he needs to play man or zone based on his team and his opponent. I have seen coaches who would rather lose than go zone and do so. I just don't get it.

Coach Hicks has won two state championships with a man only philosophy.....and a couple of Mr. Basketballs

I am a man...man but I believe that every coach needs to adjust according to the game situation. I also feel as if too much zone will make your defenders lazy. A good zone looks like a man and a good man looks like a zone!

I would say it could lean either way but most will choose man. It really depends upon how your team is built and how you match up against your opponent. For example, you can't play Holmes man to man because they get most their points off of penetration, transition, and offensive boards.

Some coaches go man or zone every game no matter the opponent. I would guess you don't agree with that?

This may have been done before, but to continue one of my recent arguments with a buddy......Which one are you more in favor of man or zone? Why?

It was kinda a joke......Lexington Catholic has no middle school they draw from all the private schools in their region as well as the public schools, this is the reason they are not allowed in the state tournament...they are not a school team!

Was Lexington Catholic Middle School's Principal there?

Dont forget Scott Counties two best players Phares and Guyn!:thumb:

 

Waterboy- What are they doing with season ticket holders tickets for this game? Do they get in at Memorial with that ticket? I wish they would leave it in Georgetown. I would have left the game in Georgetown.

I believe they will have a parking area as well as a reserved seat in memorial...

1998 SCHS State Champ Team will be honored at halftime of this game, 10 year anniversary....

Scott County and the other top teams in the state with the top players so I can get the background on them before they transfer in

I think both the Courier and the Herald were there last night as well to put the Cardinals on the front of their annual Thanksgiving HS Basketball Preview.

I knew this was coming

"Meet the Cards Night" Monday November 10th @ SCHS

Looks as if Griesser may be getting a lump sum in the basketball account if he can land in the finals vs Scott....that would be a huge crowd! Still not sure it would be as profitable as Mason's cookie sale that sent them to Hawaii though.....

The Shelton kid can play as a Sr. He played for Wayne's football team in the playoffs. They have an age restriction that makes sure the kid can play as a Sr. He is a big kid in the 200lbs range and a little over 6 ft.

As long as he is not 19 before August 1st he can play his senior year!

Wish they would start it this year!:irked:

I believe this was their origional goal, but the opted to push it back so it could be done correctly. Does anyone know if there is a list of every high school in Kentucky and what middle school (s) feed them? Would be benefical to planning!

Dont' get me wrong, I do like the idea of a middle school state tournament in this format. I would like to see it at the end of the season instead of the beginning though. Middle school football had a state tournament on Nov.1 to finish off the year. I went to it and it was a great environment and a lot of fun for the kids. You had teams who had completed an undefeated regular season playing against other similar teams. Playing the basketball state tournament in December instead of February would be like playing the football state tournament in September. It wouldn't be quite the same.

I agree, kind of hard to play a state championship the first month of your season.......

If they turn 15 before Aug. 1 of their 8th grade year, then by the time they are seniors they would be ineligible per KHSAA rules. So, I agree that rule should be in place. No reason to be eligible in middle school if you can't play as a senior in high school.

 

Having said that, I very doubt the Shelton kid or many kids have to worry about this. You would have to be held back 2 years in most cases for this to come into play.

I meant 15 after August 1st, my bad.....

Schools should mandate that if kids turn 15 before August 1st they are inelgible to deter kids that old from playing, most conferences already have these rules in place.

Chuck Norris let the dogs out.

FYI I posted this in KYMSFA Thread as well...On a side note in December 09 the KABC is planning a Middle School Basketball Sweet 16 with regional tournaments and all, there will be regional hosts and a Sweet 16 at Frankfort Civic Center. This is as close to it gets as "real"....unfortunatley some schools/conferences (fayette) will not allow them to participate as they do not start basketball until Jan.......there will always be exceptions!

All good qualities.

Also, knowing that people didn't come to see you officiate.

Be accessable to coaches and players.

I think alot of officals forget that they are there as a service to the players and the coaches. They should, when app., offer explainations to players and coaches about their calls so proper adjustments can be made so the same violation doesn't occur again.

Chuck Norris went to the Virgin Islands, when he left they renamed it "The Islands" :banana:

Good to see Georgetown compete on that level, you would think that one of these days a D1 will take a shot at Happy, he has taken Pitino to the wire 2 of the last 3 years........

On a side note, did anyone see the ref bump Happy over during a timeout?

While interesting I bet this thread doesnt last much longer......

I am sure that could be a possibility. Is his dad looking to get back to the Lexington area anytime soon? :dancingpa

:laugh: Harrison must not have got the memo :laugh:
