Chelsi Jackson was also out sick.

What was Galloways coaching record at GPS?

Holly Kiser was sick. Doctors orders not to play. Tonsellitus, at a minimum. No word on the other two missing in action. Water bottles being passed around indiscriminately. Small wonder they aren't all sick.

I agree. However I can't think of a worse bit of scheduling than to have the Warren county game the night after you play Shelbyville. Someone wasn't thinking when they did that. Coach needs to do one more thing. A notice needs to go out to all parents of players to take the cell phones away from the girls the night before a game. I know one player who was still text messaging at 3 A.M. prior to the Shelbyville game. She had a terrible game.

I haven't watched the freshman this year, but I've noted the positive reports on the players you mentioned and on their coach. Your lineup would certainly be acceptable, and a few mistakes by freshman would be preferrable to a lot of mistakes by seniors. The way things are going, next years team should be on the floor getting experience. Would you use a "Press Team"? Our girls wear down by the 4rth quarter, if they don't get a break. I think anytime you substitute piecemeal, you reduce the effectivness of the unit. We also have a bad habit of overfouling, putting the other team in the bonus shot catagory much sooner than we get there. That has cost us some wins. Is your team a "double post" team? We haven't got our share of the rebounds this year, and we need heft and height under the boards. thanks for your comments.

The Tullahoma girls basketball team suffers from a split personality, both in talents and in outlook. I believe an immediate improvement in play would result from fielding a "STRONG" team, consisting of 52, 24, 55, 12, 15, and 42. This is a double post team, of 24 and 55, a right and a left hander, who can be deadly if the passes to them are high lobs. This team has the height to control the backboards, if 52 will charge the basket after each shot to help 24 and 55 out. 52 as a senior should be made the captain of this STRONG team and made responsible for its performance. Substitutes for the posts, 24 and 55, should be 20 and 30. This team has good shooters, and they should be gunning. Each one has been in double figures at least once this year, except for 12, who hasn't got the playing time her skills deserve. The other team with quite different skills, is a "Press" team. This team has as it's core 3, 10 and 22. 3 and 10 should be named co captains, as seniors, and made responsible for the "PRESS" teams performance. The coach should fill out this team with two girls with speed from the bench. This group should be in each game twice. Once for 2 minutes late in the first half, and again for 2 minutes late in the 3rd quarter. This team has the objective of wearing the other team out, disrupting their play, and scoring whenever posssible. They need to be moving at full speed every second they are on the court.The inbounder for this team must be a tall girl. 22 must learn to minimise her fouls. I believe this would maximise the effect of the skilled girls, and minimise the faults this team has. Good Luck with your remaining games.

Everyone on this team has been in double figures except 12, who hasn't gotten the court time her skills deserve. The other team, with quite different skills is a "PRESS" team. This team consists of 3, 10, 22, and two players from the bench, with speed, the coach should chose. Co-captains should be 3 and 10. They should be made to feel resposible for this groups performance. This group should be in each game twice. Once for 2 minutes late in the first half, and again for 2 minutes late in the 3rd quarter of the second half. Their sneakers should be smoking from their speed when they are playing. They are in "to wear the other team out, disrupt their play, and score whenever they can". Inbounders on this team must be a tall girl. 22 must minimise fouls. Good Luck with your remaining games.
