I was at the game, and yes I believe it is Glory's style of play that got her in some foul trouble. Glory Johnson is an extemely aggressive player. More aggressive than 99.999% of girls basketball players at the high school level. She plays such a fast paced style of basketball that she almost doesn't "fit" in a high school basketball environment. Put her on the floor playing for the lady vols or the florida gators and you will see her playing that same style of play in an environment that matches her game. I will give credit where credit is due...Greeneville girls played great defense all night long and did what they had to do to stop Glory and the Dupree girl, but I still think that some of the calls went against her because of the differences in the level of basketball she plays on, and that of the rest of the girls on the floor. congrats to greeneville tho for a job well done...

greenevillefan Posted January 15, 2007 Report Share Posted January 15, 2007 I tell you this, Webb had these officials in the Ladies Classic and one. I think that Glory is out of control when she goes to the basket. If she could develop some control she would be unstoppable. Congratulations to the Lady Devils on the win. They played some awesome defense. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anyone see this game or thoughts? I saw it...I hope the Greeneville coaching staff did and took notes. The Collins kid comes off the bench for Greeneville (scores 14, rebounds, has a couple of clean blocks on Johnson and candidly, was the only one not intimidated at the start of the game) and gets playing time. It's beyond not having a clue that her playing time has been limited so far this season. We will see what the rest of the year holds - I would not hold my breath on the coaching staff being perceptive. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can you explain your thoughts on how the calls went against her because of her higher level of basketball skills. I was at the game also, I feel she needs to develope a mid-range jump shot. This way she can pull up off the dribble and drain a shot from 8-15 ft. Instead of running over the defenders. Anyone else have any thoughts?

If anyone has followed Greene Devil Basketball, they would know why Collins hasn't gotten as much playing time. She has been given many chances. Most nights she is all thumbs and cannot catch the ball. Unfortunately for her, she is not allowed as many turnovers as some of the other players on the team are allowed to make. I am glad she had a great game and hope to see her continue to improve and get more playing time. Greeneville could really use her to step up to the plate and help on this long streatch home.

Ok chatterbox...answer this one. Even if she does turn the ball over some who doesnt for Greeneville? Whitney Carter is probably about -5 on her assist/turnover ratio. And plus HAVE YOU EVER SEEN MORGAN LAMONS PLAY? SHE IS WITHOUT A DOUBT THE WORST STARTER OF ANY OUT OF THE TOP TEN TEAMS IN AAA. SO WHO SHOULD PLAY RACHEL COLLINS OR MORGAN LAMONS? NO BRAINER THERE.

Good question, but not a no brainer....the 5th position is weak at GHS this year. I guess it depends on who is getting the job done on any given night. Putting that aside, making that STRONG of harsh comments over this network, I think is intended to hurt the kids that read this stuff. Being more suttle can still get the point across without being so demeaning and revengeful. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

barb Posted January 16, 2007 Report Share Posted January 16, 2007 Enough criticism for a moment, I have really been impressed with McIntyre of late. She has had a couple of strong games against both Jeff County and Webb.Collins has been better than I have seen her since middle school off the bench.
