I have one question for a genius like you or should I say a know it all like you.... How many years of coaching experience do you and your little so called friends that "talk" have?... To the best of my knowledge, which by the way I do not claim to have a lot of for the sport, but I am pretty sure that swapping the boys in and out is called keeping them fresh. But from what I gather from you is that you want one or two boys to be the show. I think Coach Ray is a very talented and respected Coach, but it is people like you who trash talk and make the boys upset with all the LOUD mouth talk or should I say screaming, from the stands. And no, Coach Ray is not Mike Potts nor should he try to be. Potts was and still is a wonderful coach and a great person but Coach Ray is his own person with his own coaching abilities and does a teriffic job if people like you would stay out of it. And I am sure Mike Potts would agree and disagree with some things Coach Ray does.... but guess what? In the end it really does not matter what you or your friends think because he is the coach and he will continue to be the coach, unless that is if you want to step up and show your all mighty skills... unless trash talking people is the only skill you have... We should all be teaching our kids to respect their coaches instead of running them down, and by the way,I really can't remember ever seeing a boy come off the court shaking in their shoes with fear. We need to support our coaches who dedicates a huge amount of their time with our kids. So before you bad mouth again just stop and think, he is giving up a lot for these kids and never says one word because he loves the game and the kids, only to have people like you run him down..... So as a new years resolution, try to be positive and say good things or nothing at all. I mean really, this is a small town where everybody knows EVERYBODY, so try to consider that people do have feelings and a heart regardless to what you think. I am sure Coach Ray will not lose one minutes sleep over the things you say but always remember one thing, things always comes back home to ya.
