True, but meant to trigger better results for all involved.

It's starting to look like a blue year in Blue Devil Country. Every game I have seen, they have been the slower, weaker, & less athletic team. Seems like they should have actually done strength, conditioning, & agility training August-November. When they scrimmaged Hillwood, they could'nt handle the press, mainly for the reasons mentioned above. There is a ton of talent on the team, but if they aren't preparing to be the more athletic and better coached team, it is going to be hard to win. There hasn't been much improvement relative to the other teams they faced. Every player on Hillwood was a better ball handler than 80% of the players at WH. Every Hillwood player executed the offense and defense with precision, while WH looked like they we playing pickup ball. I'm not being critical, just truthful. Seems like they should be running their practices differently. The WH players are very talented & work hard, but they need to be better coached. Shooting form is never addressed, nor is intense ball handling. How are you going to score if the 1-2 guys that can actually shoot are being double-teamed. Everyone should be a threat to score. They should also be taught to get up off their heals on defense and driving and cutting. They lack accuracy and precision in most everything they do. And that is a coaching issue. It would be great to see them refocus, get better, maybe even finninsh with a winning record. But that is only going to happen if the practice regiment improves. Honesty and accountability brings the opportunity to improve. Go Blue Devils!!!
