@DCRealist @Iceman2000 let’s look at some DC history starting with the last time they made the region tourney. 
 

2012-2013: 30-7, (11-1 in district, T1) lost district championship to LA, lost region championship to LA, lost in sub state to Howard. 
2013-2014: 16-14, (4-10 in district, 6th) lost to Cannon in district tourney.

2014-2015: 19-15, (3-11 in district, 7th) lost to Macon first round of district tourney.  side note... 4 wins against Boyd Christian and got 5 more wins against home schools during HOF games, 4 games in one day  

2015-2016: 13-20, (1-14 in district, 8th) lost to Cannon in first round of district tourney. 5-0 after HOF week playing 3 homeschools in one day. 
2016-2017: 7-20, (3-11 in district, 7th) lost to Smith County first round district tourney. 
2017-2018: 13-14, (6-8 in district, 6th) lost to Watertown first round district tourney. 
2018-2019: 6-23, (4-10 in district, 7th) lost to Upperman in district quarterfinals. 
2019-2020: 7-21, (3-11 in district, 7th). 
 

Just my opinion but you haven’t hit an all time low. Finishing 1-13 in district and 8th to me would be all time low. You have not been good for a long time. Looking at your schedule, it looks like they need to take the AAA’s off and try to get some region opponents or just more competitive teams but I wouldn’t schedule a bunch of home schools either. 
 

Having an overall winning record is good but does it matter if you still finish 3-11 and at the bottom of the district and lose in first round? 
 

Trying to pin it all on one guy seems a little unfair. You guys act as if Sanders walked into a loaded team and completely botched it.  If in a year or two they haven’t done any better then I would say you could look at making a change. It is still high school basketball and the coaches have to work with the hand they are dealt. Yes they have to develop the players but players have to develop themselves also and buy in. Which can be hard when you have parents coaching from the stands... 

I agree. Who would have thought 2 weeks ago that DC would beat MC and take CC to the wire in the tournament? And if Jones hadn't rolled his ankle, who knows what would happened. And  Antoniac, Jenkins, Young and Ramos returning next year ,

Two good games last night. DC took advantage of a weakness in CC's zone by continuously getting the ball to the high post. That pass was there all night, CC didn't defend it at all. Smith played a heck of a game and deserved to win but missed free throws plagued them at the end

I think Sells still had about 26 pts...I would´nt call that a bad night

I understand that but he took a lot of shots to get that seemed like 30 just watching the game probably wasn’t though he just struggled from outside the arc

I wondered about that, too. Only reason I could understand is keeping both days uniform?

How many points do those average a game?  Like against good competition, Baxter or York this year, also have a post coming back but can any score consistently?

 The better question is how many did White and Cook average?  All those named started at some point or played many minutes this year.  Jenkins and Jones are Jrs.   Young, Antonic and Hale are soph.  Ramos is a freshman. There may be 2-3 freshmen that step up a little next year and give some quality minutes.  Ramos got ton better as the season went along and played great for a freshman. The rest --Young-Jenkins, Hale and Antoniac were JV most of the year last year. I saw 3/4 JV games at the start of last year last year, If you did, you see how far they have come.  Improvement in every aspect of the game is the goal of any coach, or should be.  In my opinion there was improvement in Jones, Jenkins, Young, Hale,  Antonica, and Ramos.

The final and consolation games are set. No surprises really.

Upperman vs York 

Cannon vs Watertown 

Thoughts?

[Classless]

Halfway through the fourth quarter and York has scored 9 points in the second half. Five point game at the half. Frustrating!!!!

35-30 @ Half. Depth is the key for Upperman.
