I see York beat Monterey by 11. Looking at the schedule York goes to Clay county Saturday. This will be a test for York.

York was ahead 14-0 before Monterey scored and got ahead 20-2. Their biggest lead was by 22. But then they resorted to their old playground out of control basketball of they didn't play last year. Monterey cut it to 7 or 8 and if they played a few more minutes Monterey would have won. Why isn't Anthony Jones coaching? He had them playing disciplined ball last year.

DC 1-4..... They look awful and asleep most games in a zone press and 2-3 in half court. They have been weak with the ball at every position but the point guard play has been atrocious with a negative assist to turnover ratio. Way too many turnovers without creating enough easy looks for others. Generally the team seems undisciplined on both ends of the floor, they force the ball into the post without the post effectively sealing, lack movement away from the ball, poor screening, bad reads on cuts, etc.

The good news is that they can't play much worse and should have won 2 of the 4 they lost. Once Poss is back, they should have a pretty balanced approach offensively with 4 players that can score in double digits. Hopefully we shift to a pressure man defense soon. That will improve our energy level, create a few more turnovers and allow better match-ups on the glass to box out. I think they can finish in the top 3 with some changes in style and intensity or in the bottom 3 without.

If they played the 1st half of WC and JC like they played the 2nd half, they win both those games. There are about 3-4 that look like they come to play and 2-3 seem to turn it on for a while, then coast for a while..  They need to learn to play together,

I'm more of a Football guy than basketball guy but really enjoy watching basketball.  Have been to every game so far this season. Full of ups and downs. I really enjoyed the last coach Martin,  but thought a breathe of fresh air with Sanders would be good for the boys. I'm really having 2nd thoughts.  I agree with u others guys comments about not looking organized at all and very undisciplined.  It's early in the season so i won't get carried away too early. District season starts this week, lets wait till the 1st half of district is over before i jump to conclusions. Have a better overall team assessment by Christmas. Subbing pattern is eratic, boys dont always come to play with passion and seem like we are playing to many guys. Maybe he's trying to figure out who can play or not.  Hopefully we can turn it around this week.  Go Tigers. Tiger Pride

A team typically takes on the personality of its coach. One thing Martin definitely brought was an intensity level. They and the coach have lacked that so far.

I agree on too many playing and substitution patterns. It definitely would be easier to get in a flow with 7-8 in a rotation instead of 10. Now that districts are here hopefully we will see the player experimentation end.

    • Lol! I was being a bit facetious. 
    • Way late on this post, but I do believe that I want to at least weight in so to speak lol. I wrestled NAIA competed against some of the best wrestler over all a crossed the divisions and felt great about my college wrestling experience. I think people make the mistake in believe that wrestling some how gets easier as a sport at the smaller college divisions it doesn't the training is mostly the same. I have that on good authority from a coach who was a D1 all-American. it's more the commitment level of the competitors that is different. There is talented wrestlers that can go D1 at any level in the smaller division. sub in Sammy Shires for one he would have done fine on a DI team. He chose a work life ratio that suited him. It's not about talent it's commitment are you going to make training and studying the sport the center of your world cause that's what it takes: NO MATTER HOW TALATENTED BEFORE HAND YOU ARE.  If so then D1 is for you and striving for success at that level is for you like Mr. Palmer said it's what your willing to put in. Now coaches if you have a successful wrestler who fits that bill then by all means D1 is a great option they will see some success no matter how small, but if they are not that committed along with being talented and a killer and you know it then your doing them wrong.  You don't have to tell athletes that you don't think they are D1 tell them to keep their options open to take all their visits to consider all the divisions regardless of their goals. college recruiting visits have you most times wrestle against their current wrestlers coaches and athletes  will find out real quick it's not easy no matter where you go. That way when they make their decision it's a sound one that's based on well rounded experiences.     BobCorker, and oceansize42 I believe what you are thinking is correct but for different reasons. TN wrestler's have the talent... it's a commitment level change. TN wrestlers aren't used to having to put themselves through the level of commitment required and kills them on the D1 level.    WrestlingGod, I agree you should push kids to pursue their dreams, but not at the cost of common sense period... we have to much of that going around this country already. Dreams can turn to poison when these wrestler are not educated on what it truly takes. In TN  a kid who understands wrestling to a high level can be successful with small amounts of hard work. They think their definition of hard work is enough for D1 that is the mistake not the "talent/understanding".  Over-all though we do not celebrate NAIA,D2,D3, or Juco success in this state like other states do. GA/AL celebrates all it's college wrestlers success a crossed the  board no matter the division. Why? because it's hard... I have gone to all the divisions National championships let me tell you to be a all-American at any is impressive especially D2 or NAIA. those guys can scrap and not one of those AA's are an easy match. all of them were state placers or champs multiple times in their high school careers. does that at all sound easy to place at? TN does not give those guys enough credit or shout outs period. it's an over sight because of this D1 or it's less than meaningless   mentality on this site and in this state. GA/AL is better then us on the highest stage because they send guys to D2,NAIA,D3 ect. they come back understanding the sport better then their pervious coaches, and give back and that cycles to athletes readiness to go D1 with clearer understanding of what it takes to be competitive day 1 freshman year.             My post isn't to support one way or the other but to just consider that both sides have merit and that both work when the system in TN. by system I mean coaches are the better educated on preparing athletes for each level they want and should pursue.
