The sad thing is is that is how its been at Cookeville over the last few years. They play at home but still can't seem to get the calls at home like most teams do. Do the refs have something against Cookeville or something? I've never seen anything like it in all the years i've watched basketball.

 

 

{R}siegelgrad{R} won't agree with you. He thinks siegel gets shafted when they paly at Cookeville.

Have to give credit to Blackman. They probably played as good as they could play against a much, much, bigger more talented team in Siegel. It looked like a college team against a middle school team but the smaller Blackman team hung with Siegel for the whole game. The game was in doubt until the last couple of minutes. No disrepect to Siegel as I don't see how Siegel can't be in the State playoffs with a good chance to win the state, but you were outhustled and outplayed by little Blackman last night. DeShawn Smith had a heck of a game with 26 points and five 3 pointers.

But lets be real, thats a crock on cookeville not getting calls at home, reallll funny joke, your girls dont cuz the girls coach for cookeville is a straight b*tch, that being said Coach Bush for Siegel got a T up there because the refs were screwing us so bad and Coach Bush never loses his temper. As for the blackman game, I feel as if Blackman was outmatched from the get go and Siegel knew it. Though the 3 point party kept it close I feel as if Siegel knew what they had to do and when they had to do it to win against the Blaze from what Ive heard. I do appreciate the State hype and saying we have a good chance to win state, but Siegel is going to have to start succedding in the half court more if they even want to make state. Any team can hold a team from running to an extent.

I dont know what you saw in Cookeville, but its no different than what I have seen anywhere else. Where their some iffy calls? Of course, but nothing with intent to affect the outcome. BTW, that "straight B" that you so classlessly referred to is one of the best coaches in middle tennessee, mens or womens. Give some respect and you might, just might, be shown some in return

I disagree with part of this statement. Siegel needs to keep playing their style of basketball if they try to change up to fit somebody else's game thats what going to get them beat. If/when they get to the substate they will be playing someone from the chattanooga are so that will be an uptempo game which is siegel's style of play, when they get to the stat tournament all of the memphis teams run and gun so Siegel will no thave to change up anything. I dont think a team that is an uptempo team should be trying to play half court basketball if they are not used to doing that

Very much true, but eventually Siegel is going to run into a team down the road that can do both well, and for any coach worth his salt, it is pretty obvious how you attack Siegel. I will say that I think Siegel and region 4 will have a easy go of it, as I think region 3 is pretty weak this year.

I can't believe some people are still allowed to post here on CoachT. /huh.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":huh:" border="0" alt="huh.gif" />

How does everyone think this Siegel team compares to the one a few years back? From what I have seen this team doesn't get within 15 points of the team a few years ago.

As much as I hate to admit I agree with you about region 3, and as far as coaches I would put Randy King into that category I wonder who else would you put into that category that you speak of

This Siegel team wouldnt touch the old siegel or oakland or even the blackman teams with kris lee, David Price, Isiah ben sneed..

You mean in terms of being able to play both a halfcourt and an up-tempo game. I really dont think it is earth shattering, good to great coaches adapt to their talent as opposed to forcing a certain philosophy down their throat. In 06-07, a big part of Oakland's success was pushing the ball up the floor, so I think its nice to know that if Oakland needs to go toe to toe with certain opponents, that they certainly are capable of doing as such.

 

As for Region 3, Walker Valley certainly looks good on paper, but I think they have padded their record to a degree.

Heisman, i agree. The stars with ramsey, oden, roper, cutter, jones, etc... Much better than this years team. I'd say 15 is a good number.
