Does anyone have results from Tues. ?

You must not know 92 State Champ, He only benches 525 and he don't throw it he punts it over the mountain.

BOX, for the record I never meant to boost myself or my ego this started with me poking at maxx, I have said many times that I could not coach at the high school level and COACH K is doing a great job. I do know when it's time to shut up and that is now for me. Besides you are from Morgan CO. didn't think you to say anything good about me or Oneida.

KAZ, I hope you or anyone else didn't think I was crowing, because I know that talent is what makes the wins happen and coaching usually is what loses close games. I also want to give credit were it is due, watch me coach sometime and you will see that almost every decision made on the sidelines starts with me and Coach C talking it over, who else has that much confidence in their asst. coach. THat could be why the Boys clicked right along in my absence.(They didn't know I wasn't there until half time). PS: TURN #20 LOOSE! KAZ

ohballin, I got my style they got theirs, I want change mine because at the middle school level I feel that is how it should be. AS I sais earlier, at each level the quality of what you do and what you learn must go up. Give me a hint as to you are.

Maxx, I,m sure you taught Freak(who I love as much as any former player) a lot about ball, but you should remember that he only played 1yr of jr high(led team to dist. championship and was tourney MVP). So yes he has a lot to learn as do all freshman and soph. OHBallin, If you played at Oneida I,m sorry that you were diaappointed in your progress. Now for my take on a basketball career, when you play jr pro you should learn simple things like how to use either hand when dribbling, how to hold ball properly when shooting, how to make good passes,pivots, rules of the game,d-stance and how to slide feet,how to play team D, how to trust your teammates, and I think you should learn about the thrill of victory and the agony of defeat. In jr high you continue to become better ball handlers through tougher drills, you learn even more about team offense and working the ball around, you learn how to play man-D, play help side, draw charges, you learn more advanced offenses(but not to advanced) clock management, how to set screens on offense, how to hedge or fight through or over screens on D. If you have a post player who can finish well you start teaching more advanced moves,but if he only shoots about 30% under the rim you better keep it simple until that % goes up. When a player reaches high school you have weeded out a lot of players so you have more time to spend 1 on 1 with players(and lets face it if your the high school coach you better know more than the jr coach or they shouldn,t have hired you). Offenses get more advanved so you need to spend even more time on screens, how to use screens, when to spin and shoot or kick out for the 3. Team D is a must no matter what you play man or zone. Most important , keep a positive attitude, kids are not the same as they used to be, they have too many others things they could be doing, so allow a little fun into your pactice regularly. Almost forgot, If you can put the ball in the hole and play some D I don't care if your hair hangs to your butt! Coach K you are doing a great job, just stay after it.THis is the last I will say unless I am provoked. Coach Jeffers (OMS BOYS)(NO FUNDAMENTALS ALLOW)

Madd Maxx, It,s time for me to quit pulling your chain, I,ve been funning with you for the heck of it. I hope you are not to upset because I,m not. I don,t have time to come to the high school practice because I usually attend the Middle school practice. So next time you go to work after you get out of your car just look down the road to the forks of the road and you might just see me. PS: basic fundamentals are taught at the middle school level at Oneida but if they were taught everything at the jr high level the high school coaches would not have anything to do.

Bigtime, well said, I believe things will only get better as King grows with his team and I also feel that the freshman class was not ready to play at the speed of the game this year, but some could be ready to help soon. Maxx, Maybe next year the MIddle School Boys will try not to win so that they will not feel so low as freshman. PS: Maybe you should swing by the jr high practice and teach some fundamentals next season, since you feel no else knows how like you.

Madd max don't confuse stat keeping with coaching! Or should I call you THE STUDENT OF THE GAME!

Mad Maxx, How can you name 8 players coming back at Oneida and not even mention Laxton? Lackey sees the floor better than anyone on that team, I know he is not the best defender but Oneida plays a lot of zone and he should find a place to play, but I probably don't know as much about bball as you.

Two good games last night! Harriman won a last second shot by the best player (sorry don't no his name) as time expired. Oneida won on a bucket from Manis #23 with 14 seconds left. Oneida and cloudland both struggled on offense. (11-9 at the half Cloudland).

WRONG! Fairview will not look past Oneida. I figure Oneida is a prime target for a upset.

KAZ, Congrats on a good year, you guys improved everynite throughout the year with a inexperienced group of girls ( only 2 8th graders) . I'm looking forward to see how this 7th grade class will come of age next year, should be a great year. PS: #20 averaged 2 pts per min. in this tourney why did you not play her more. Do you have problems with her dad? THANKS for everything!

People, no matter what anyone from Oneida or Scott says you will not change anyone's opinion on the subject of Oneida and Scott. Most people from this area are born and bred with the opinion that the other school is to be hated when it comes to basketball and football. (not how I feel). Bottom Line: THE MORE YOU STIR IT, THE MORE IT STINKS!

Just curious as to what the experts on Coacht think. Do you try to play everyone equal time or do you play to win and hope to get other players in when you can for a few minutes.
