[quote name="stevenash" post="965844" timestamp="1297701919"] Dove, I sense a little disrespect here.  Once your unambiguous eloquence is displayed on the Lazeek show, there is no doubt in my mind that all of the Dove doubters will hold you in the highest esteem. I have a feeling that we will be witnessing history in the making.  Both you and Lazeek will probably be hearing from ESPN shortly after the broadcast.  I would respectfully like to offer my services to act on your behalf as an agent.  Mammagot is bound to approve.

Everyone on here seems to blast officials for blowing calls every time their team loses, but you notice that the UIL never gets blasted for this one.... :o :o [/quote]The only reason most of these kids consider changing schools is the almighy "play at the next level" goal which is a pipe dream for probably 95% of these guys.When you let your kids do this they almost always become a a little fish in a big pond.Lt.Daigle most of the folks who come on here ,with the exception of a few old coaches, and blast the officials wouldn't know which end of the whistle to blow.

Well, I guess it could be worse. Having a forum full of HJ supporters congratulating themselves for the next year ::)

See, ya gotta go deeper. All you guys are correct. BUT! It's called  a free throw. All the action stops and all eyes are on you. It's your moment AND will you choke? Too many players want to get it over with and get back to playing ;)

[quote name="dogs1218" post="965754" timestamp="1297660725"] This is the biggest part about the game. Period. Games are won and loss at the line, except in an completely embarrassing game. The first type of shot that should be taught to a kid is a free-throw. This way they can develop muscle-memory and perfect a stroke that gets the ball in the hoop. I agree that too many kids are worried about the pre-shot more than the actual mechanics. Top 3 things in basketball that win games: 1) Free-Throw Shooting (Makes) 2) Rebounding Difference 3) Turnover Difference [/quote]#1 is defense! This will take care of the top three you mentioned.

[quote name="LAZEEK" post="965744" timestamp="1297657270"] Dove we gonna get you on the air on Tuesday night????? [/quote]No problem. And I'll try and be nice in our away from home game ;)

[quote name="monotone" post="965567" timestamp="1297572649"] imo hf struggles and will continue to struggle because they have too many players worried about stats and not enough who play for the team.  from what ive seen, when breaking the press there is way too much dribbling.  whenever they break the press the easiest, the ball never touches the floor.  this is where nearly all the turnovers came from last night against WOS.  [/quote] ::) What stats? Please tell me what stat a player is worried about. Not one single player on the HF squad is a MAJOR scorer or can carry that team. Most are role players and there is no true LEADER on that squad. There are no stars on that team. It's a combination of things. For your example, when HF rebounds and the ball is "kicked" out to the guards, you won't get caught up in the press.

Its a very common occurrence.

[quote name="dawg13" post="965638" timestamp="1297616589"] Yes the kid could be a good player, we have alot of potential but if that potential is not tapped,they will leave high-school still being a good player not great.We need a coach that  can judge and assess the talent we have and develope it.with proper guidance ,2012 is very possible.look at westorange no one gave the new coach a chance look at the success he is having. HF just needs a step in a new direction.With the new AD in place,time for a new b-ball program,the old one has run It's course.because another year of this would not be good. [/quote]I've actually had several coaches mention to me how surprised they were in the talent at HF this year.

[/quote]HF should have have made a serious run for third place this year. But didn't...hmmm ;)

Come on... ::) [/quote] I believe her point is that there is talent in HF area which shows up at the junior high ages. However, when these kids get to high school the results seem to be vastly different. Now I will grant you that kids' talents change as they grow older. Now, how do you explain that the talent at every other school leap frogs the kids at HF. The problem isn't that HF has trouble making the playoffs, they have trouble even winning a game. This isn't just a basketball problem. Now I read on this board that you can't judge a school by what the do in middle school. But how do you explain every basketball player that comes through HF getting leap frogged in talent by every player at every school. This is why parents who have kids with athletic talent often look to move their kids before they get to high school. It is mind boggling. [/quote]We lost a very good athlete for 2014 to another district and there are others leaving. ;)

[quote name="bballgod" post="965236" timestamp="1297529759"] At some point you are going to have to make a decision.  Are at HF for academics or for basketball?  If you are there for academics then you must live with the frustrations that you will continue to get with basketball (weights, coaching, etc.).  If you are there for basketball, then Dove, you are smart enough to know that HF isn't the best place to be for basketball.  You and momma have complained since the beginning of the season about one thing or another.  [/quote]Okay I'm back! Complained? Yep, just exposing a situation that no one wanted to address or pretend it doesn't exist.

Okay, I'm going to have to put Silsbee on my hate list too ;D

Because of all the various social media outlets, "armchair quarterbacks" such as myself have been afforded the opportunity to openly express our thoughts about our favorite teams and coaches. Sometimes good  and other times not so good. I didn't start this thread with the intent to directly step on any toes. Hamshire Fannett ISD provides the kids with an excellent academic environment first and foremost; thats a given. But this is a basketball forum and I will stick to the topic of basketball. The best thing that could have happened this season IMHO is that HF was put on notice that parents are expecting excellence in their program and more accountability. Too much "little Johnny" in any basketball program will hurt you. I fully expect about four JV players to challenge several current varsity players for spots next year. You can't win when you have players WALKING on down the court on defense after they made a mistake. Unbelievable!! How can you sit a kid on the bench for approx: two quarters and he ends up being your leading scorer for the game. It is so mind boggling to me to see the things I see on the court. [color=blue]And the ball said: "Don't be afraid of greatness. Greatness will not hurt you. Greatness will not embarrass [/color][color=goldenrod]you. Greatness will not trick you. Greatness will not deceive you. Greatness will not harm you. Greatness will simply reward you for clearing your path to greatness." [/color]

Thank you ;) Time sure does past by fast. I can remember people on here saying it was too far away. ;)

Thanks!

[quote name="BADSANTA" post="964204" timestamp="1297372449"] HF kids need to get on the AAU circuit and play a ton of ball over the summer. They will be a contender for a 3rd seed next year. [/quote]Definitely will get tougher. Look at Nederland's program.
