Were there many scouts there on Saturday???

And why not?

Tullahoma Basketball needs to hire Coach John Wild he will turn program around. It's not about the parents and politics it's about these girls. Unless you got a top dawg coach in mind with a better track record than Coach Wild you might want to reconsider some decisions that have been made! Time is ticking and camps need to be lined up for these girls to go to. Lets get it together.

Totally agree it shouldnt matter where they sit or why they were there because its no ones business but there own and those they wish to tell. So why make it more than it was. They were attending to watch ball be played and they attended a game that was very intense and exciting thats it.

If you are refering to the Columbia Academy game that she would have gotten alot of play time that is true but I heard she had to miss the game for an academic opportunity that she had already committed to and could not be resheduled. I believe their coach and her had already talked about this and had it squared away but ummm I am pretty sure that is not the only game she could have gotten experience in since we are midway through the season about to head into district. As far as who ran pt friday night it depended on who was on the floor at the time and who could actually got the ball across with limited turnovers. 21 ran pt early in the game not later. How do I know, because when 11 was on the bench in the 1st and 2nd quarter 21 was at the 1. When they were both on the floor together it depended on who actually got a rebound and wanted to bring the ball up the floor. So they swithched up. If both were out and 31 was in she brought it up and Boise did a little too dependin on the people on the floor and if she had a clear lane to get across half court. These 4 are capable of bringing the ball down the floor but it depends on the situation at the time.

Hmmm well congrats to Culleoka team for the win last night. The coach well we will get to that. The game was a really good game. The boys from both teams wanted it but MC just came up short and this is why. For one who ever was suppose to be guarding number 24 from cully was lost because he was shooting the daylights out the ball and knocked down some key shots. Now what killed MC was that 4 from their team had the ball in his hands to much. They should of had the ball in 31 ones hands. He is a more patient ball handler and should probably be running point from now on. 4 is better on the wing where he can spot up and shoot. Granted 4 can drive into the paint and score but at times he forces it as he did last night. Im not sure why the coach did not tell him to calm down or move him from point but it was a key error for them last night. Why? Because everytime 4 forced a shot it resulted into a turnovers which hurt them. And why did he not play any defense? Cully did a pretty good job on defense but they looked out of shape. In fact all of Cullys players looked out of shape (I will leave that open for suggestions of why). Their key player though was number 24! and as for MCs key player it has to be 31. Now i know everyone wants to ride number 10s coat tail til the end and his leadership in the last few minutes of the game were good but if you really watched the game, 31 off of MC shut him down with his defense which was great for MC. And My question is why did MC not post up at the end and get the ball down low? They had plenty of time and where not down by much so why did they choose to shoot 3s with time on the clock? And when it was to late it was just to late. Both of these teams will see each other again but have somethings to perfect before they do. I wish them luck in the coming weeks because no win is garuanteed. Its after Christmas now all teams are stepping their game up because its a new dawn. So good luck players and coaches!

Well well well look at MC. They looked good last night even with players quitting and injured. They still have a few things to work out though well more than a few but they looked pretty decent. 21 I think is the Taylor girl looked really good running point. She got a really good crossover. And where did number 40 come from. I havent seen her play all season. She was open plenty of times but her teammates never looked at the whole floor to see it. When they finally did she scored but they went back to not feeding her the ball. With her playing post and them not having much height on the team they will need her down the stretch. I wander how they utilize her in practice because she looked a little lost on defense. I am pretty sure with a some guidance from her coach in practice she will get better and stronger. I commend her on her efforts on the court while in the game. Time and experience will make her a pretty decent player finishing out the year. As for Cully, wow what a game. I think MC underestimated them just a tadbit huh? They came out starting pretty good but when MC tried to change up their defense into a 1-3-1 Cully took advantage of it. MC at times had the wrong players together the floor just was not balanced. I think Cullys players and coaches saw that as a positive for them and shot the daylights out of the ball behind the arc while MC sat back and let them do it. It was over all a decent game but I hope these coaches and players go back and look at the tape and fix those minor mistakes that were made. Good luck to the two teams in the coming weeks.

Should do ok but we will see. Girls need some encouraging words and thoughts after lastnights loss.

Seems like tonight it was all up to the younger players. Pincheon didnt do much it was her younger players who brought the ball up the floor when she got in trouble. In fact it was Taylor and Garland she looked for most of her help in the backcourt while breaking the press. I dont know where you got your information from but it seems like to me you need to watch these players a little more closely if you want to call out weaknesses. In the Shelbyville playdate it was Taylor who ran the point when Pincheon was out of the game and did a fairly good job at. The girls played well tonight but I would tell it's going to take some time for them to come together and get in sync with each other. Overall pretty good game nothing special. Neither team played up to their abilities kind of bummer game but hey its just a tune up game right! They will get stronger defensively as well as offensively as the season gets rolling. Good luck to both teams!

Yeah Taylor is a very strong defensive player. She is a threat on both sides of the ball very unselfish player. I her also play over the summer under her aau coach Tim Ramsey. As for Garland I seen her in camp games this summer and her being a 8th grader hopefully she will grow mentally in the game and well as in her ability. The pair were unstoppable on defense as well as offense. As for Pincheon i have seen her play plenty of times. It being her senior year I believe she will take this year and polish up her stats before going and playing at I believe at Trevecca. But it seemed to me as if the underclassmen are going to be the set leaders of the team. Now tonight might be interesting. I as well was all over winchester checking out the teams for this year and Grundy County looked pretty good in front of the scouts during the playday. I did not see Moore County anywhere on the schedule which was odd because they were at the playday last year. I also thought they would be there because of all the exposure the girls would have gotten. In any case M. County might struggle a little tonight unless they can come together as a team. With them having a new coach she maybe still tryin to get to know how her players play individually and as a team. So it should be interesting G.C. is a stong team and M.C. is building so we will have to see should be a good hall of fame game.

They brought up a 8th grader? Wow is she that good? I know they got a whole new coaching staff and I just wander how that has a affected the team as a whole as far as playing goes. I guess the Taylor girl and the Garland girl are playin well as underclassmen and earing their spots on the court. Have to see how much the tempo changes when they are on the court together and if they are adding to the team aspect as far as having 3 other people on the floor with them. How does the team look as a whole???

Anyone have an opinion on how moore county did over the weekend?

No pressure on these girls they are good and they know they are and they truly believe they've got the talent to go far. Those are the type of things you want to keep posted in their minds and have them display in practice in games and on and off the court. You have to keep things positive they need it! Lets focus on them improving on the talent they have this summer and encourage them to take into the season. The skies the limit for these girls lets keep it that way!

This is not true. There was only a select few who were supportive and they know who they are. All this still doesn't change the fact that they only gave her two years to change a program that needed more than just a couple years to change. What is done is done now though they can't go back and change their shady decision now. Lets just hope that they give the new coach time to actually get a good program started and developed before they give him the boot also. Hope the best for the new coach and the girls. They are going to have an awesome year next season!

Yea good luck! It was probably the best thing for him....

Well most of you parents got what you wanted. You should be oh so proud of yourselves but what is they move the middle school coach up what will you say then? Another sad situation!

i believe AAU is dieing and soon most if not all the teams will going to the nikes and addidas teams and thats a shame. AAU is just not the same anymore and thats sad to say!

For one there is no whining here! There are pros and cons to having a shot clock but wouldn't this help some of the slower players skills. Are you saying slower players don't need the experience because they are not as quick as another person on the team? That would be degrading the players abilities would it not? As far as influencing style of play, its all about finding the right technique to get down the floor and to get a shot off and playing D. These athletes need this learning experience. As far as AAU most teams use their high school team and make it into an AAU team to strenghten them as a whole. And as far as pressing or trapping another team to speed things up um didnt you mention that it would be stupid to take slow kids and try to run them all night? I believe you did! So what is the difference between having the slower players doing this and having a shot clock?

Yes we need one. It doesnt even have to be 40 sec. it should be 30 and I believe anyone who has seen these state games in the past two weeks would agree. It would be beneficial for those athletes about to go into collegiate sports also. We have a shot clock in AAU why not in high school ball. These players have to learn to play with a shot clock some time or another especially if they want to play college ball so why not start now and give them the experience they need. Even the refs been saying high school ball needs a shot clock the past two weeks at the state tourneys. This is defintely something to look into getting. It's time we get back to wanting the best for our players and those who just plain love the game! Lets get back to changing players lives and prepare those athletes for what could be (for some) an outstanding future. Hey why not have this change for the upcoming season TSSAA is changing all the other rules and regulations (that they havent giving a good explanation for) in preparation for next year anyways. Whats one more change going to hurt???

It was a nba range 3 but she leaned in to it to try to draw the foul as she was getting trapped and got blocked.

I dont believe the girl was fouled her shot blocked yes fouled no. she had to have come down wrong on her ankle or something because after she got up she wouldnt walk on her right leg as they helped her into the locker room. Along with her coming down wrong she was taking the last shot which would have won them the game so she was probably upset also that her season had just ended. It was a sad way to end the game for the Summertown girls much less needing to see that woman rave across the floor like that. Good hard fault game by both teams and good luck to Moore Co. on their road to state.

For those of you who thought I was putting down D. Williams I wasn't. He is a great ball player that has definitely earned his keep. Theres nothing speciall about him he's just quick with great hands, a good ball player. I mean there are things he needs to improve on but what player doesn't. What I was simply saying is that Cully can get beat on any given day by any given team whether he is on the court or not, and that was the answer to the question that was asked. The night they became district champs his defense and free throws were key other than that C.J. was hitting and so was the little guard and there other post. It was a team effort but why do yall hype this kid up like there is no one else on the team. Mr. Basketball or not there are four more players on the floor also. I would just like to see them get involved more offesively and defensively. And that comment is not directed towards how good or bad of a player D. Williams is but when you hype a player up and have everyone looking at them they are going to talk am I not right? Cully is stopable to answer the question directly! They will go far but they have an off night against a team like they did against mt. pleasant their opponent will take control and capitalize on their mistakes. They are just like any other team the only difference is that they are finding ways to win their ball games and some of these teams either are at home or just fallen short. I still dont think that they will be hard to stop though. It's just a matter of time! But good luck to all the teams that are still in it especially Cully!!!

Cully is not as strong as people may want to believe. They have people step up at key times yes but if you take a closer look they depend on their one "#1" player and that D. Williams. Shut him down and lets see how the rest of the team reacts. I don't think they could fucntion very well with him on the bench for even a quarter much less if he fouled out of a game. Any of these teams put a player with outstanding defense on him he will get ran down because he gets tired quickly. Make him get the rest of the team involved. This team is beatable! Study their tapes any of these teams are capable of doing so!
