'05/'06 ELIZABETHTON BASKETBALL

[Riverdog7]

Its not fair to cast all the blame at the coaches. The players have to make the inside game work. I know and have watched these guys play for awhile. Norman for his size is....soft. Sorry but thats a fact. Henson and Franklin are hard workers but they have trouble scoring. Hilton is a little undersized but gives it all he's got, and is the closest thing to a scorer they have down low. Carter is young, and in time will be a very good post, just maybe not this year. Same thing with the other soph post, Thomas. The other Jr post, Pirtle is a great athlete but at this point does not have the dedication required.

Wilson, as he showed while coaching the girls, preaches the inside game. Its up to the guys to work at it and make it go. This team needs some leadership to step up on the court.

Now as for the discipline problem, thats been coming on for awhile as Glee said. DN has been suspended a couple times this year already. That kid is such a talent, just maybe not quite as good as he thinks he is. Hopefully he will do some growing up the next two months and lead this team to the Regionals.
