Poor coaching. Waverly just needs a coach. It's sad that we have the talent that we have in players and no coaching.

 

 

 

You'll have to be more specific. I thought Kevin Rawlings should have been coach of the year last year taking Waverly as far as he did with a very young team. Same coach, same talent, different results so far this reason. I'm sorry. I can't see a connection to coaching right off the bat. I can see the lopsided Creekwood score because CW has much more length and a physical presence down low while Wavo is guard oriented. I heard CW went to a 2 - 3 zone which is easy to shoot your way out of if the shots are falling. If a team can beat you with a 2-3 zone and you're guard oriented, you either aren't as talented as you think or your guards are in a shooting slump. You can't coach your way out of a shooting slump. You've got to join the 1000 shot club and fix it yourself by shooting 1000 shots a day.

 

Coaches don't make shots fall and they don't fix shooting slumps. It's hard for me to believe that Coach Rawlings forgot everything he knew about basketball between last year and this one.

My sentiment exactly.

I agree completely with ksgovols. I believe that you are obviously a disgruntled parent. If you are going to gripe about coaching when you lose, at least be consistent enough to applaud him when they win. You have no credibility whatsoever when you get on here and gripe like you are.

Amen! you have it exactly right. Last two games (and really all season) the Tigers have struggled with the three,and really shooting period. Last night 3 for 20 from the 3 and under 33 percent from the field. They are a team that must hit from outside to score. Hopefully, the shots start falling. As far as the comment from Tigermom, well it is a mom and sometimes a parent just can't see the real problem. If your a parent you can understand that. However, in the past two years Coach Rawlings has gotten about as much out this group that one can. I agree with Coach of the Year comment. They are good kids, they work hard, they play hard, but anyone that thinks the Tigers are loaded is looking at things through rose colored glasses. But, again sometimes that's just a parent and they can't see it. They are guard oriented and they like to push the tempo. That is hard to do when a team isn't scoring. They will come around and starting hitting. They last thing they need is somebody telling them that their coach is the problem.

SC lost by 8 to Sycamore. Dylan Smith had 30. They were down 4 with about a minute left and missed a layup that rimmed in and out. The difference in this game was a 10-0 run Sycamore had in the second quarter. SC plays at Fairview Thursday.

 

 

 

The Smith kid killed us, everytime we would score he would answer, SC is a lot better than what i have been hearing.

I agree you cant blame Coach Rawlings for lack of scoring:

Lets face it , this team starts and ends with the play of vogel, gilbert, and leonard and all three of these guys have been in a shooting slump to start the season. After that there is just not much scoring. Fuller has played well and is doing his part playing good defense and get put back points. Graham has had some ok games but is very inconsistent at best and you just can't count on him from game to game. The bench has did good job, but your just not going to see a lot of scoring from the bench. Between vogel , gilbert and leonard they have hit maybe a combained 6 -3 -point shots in 5 -games , last year they were hitting 6-7 per game. Its odd to see three players slump at the same time but thats what is happening. These 3 - need to average 40 - 50 points per night if the tigers are going to have a chnace to win.

 

 

vogel 15 - 20

gilbert 10 - 15

leonard 15 - 20

I have read both of your posts. Now the quote from you above makes it pretty plain what you meant. So now to cover up the fact you have ripped the head coach in a public form, you backtrack and explain to us all that you really meant to rip the players. Let me give you some sincere advice. 1. never post on this board again, unless it is 100% positive of all team members. 2. Give each player you named here in a negative way a one on one personal apology (yes they read this board). 3. Let your son know you have let your emotions get the best of you and made a mistake. and that you were wrong. 4. work hard at seeing that your son's coach is working hard at getting the best out of your son and his teammates, and doesn't deserve any of what you have brought out.

    • That’s a good line. Wins would be Soddy, Howard, and Ooltewah. Maybe East Ham again or Knox Central. Tyner maybe but being that late in the year it’s hard to say. I don’t think we get by Red Bank this year.    Rhea could be anywhere from 2-8 to 6-4. 
    • I agree with the Farragut and Bradley claim. Those will both be wins. Bearden like you say is depending on when you get them in comparison to when the wheels fall off.  As far as West goes I’m 50-50. They have been able to reload so far so until they show me they haven’t I can’t count them out. 
    • during the 2nd round of the playoffs last year against Milan, Gray partially tore his meniscus. He had a minor repair around Thanksgiving. Recovery time was minimal and he has been full force for baseball this season. 
    • What do ya’ll think the O/U will be? I would set the line at 2.5 
    • Playing high school sports is a privilege not a right.  The college did not have to rescind the scholarship.  Scholarship offers are pulled all the time for a number of reasons. That was 100% their choice.  A coach can keep, cut, or dismiss any player that they want to without reason anytime they want.  Is that the right way to run a program?? I don't think that it is, but these are the facts of the matter. This case has absolutely 0% chance of going in the plaintiff's favor. Futhermore, I'd imagine that these administrators and the coach are a part of some teaching or coaching organization that will cover at least 1 million dollars each in legal fees. Obviously the kid and her family feel like there were "damages" thus the lawsuit.  Unfortunately, the law is not on their side in this case.
