  1. I agree I actually saw parents come over and talk to the assistant coaches during half time of the games in the YMBL.
  2. I think Carlson is doing a good job. Sometimes she takes to much on her shoulders, but I think she is the most like a leader on the team.
  3. They were held scoreless against HJ for almost an entire half. Don't get me wrong I would like them to get to the playoffs but I really dont think they will.
  4. When I think of great players, I think of players with the ability to play at the next level, or the ability to carry the game on their shoulders. I do not think any of the three that are not playing are those type of players. That is my opinion. Now with my criticism of the coach, he is an adult and can handle it (I hope). But a good coach makes a game plan around his talent, not make his talent work around his game plan.As I have said I have said nothing negative about these girls except that they are not great. Sorry if that offended anyone.
  5. Players do not need to be great to win. I am not saying that any of these players don't bust their butts on the floor every game but I highly doubt any of them will be playing college ball. I only question the coach as he does not utilize them properly. I have not questioned the players abilities, just the coaches ability to prepare them to be competitive in the district. You are all reading what I say. When did i say that it was the players fault, when did I question their heart. I have not. Maybe you should read before you speak.
  6. You are right, but they need to be in positions to make those plays. Yes with there size they should push the ball, but not 1v3 or 1v4 situations. That causes players to be out of position and opens up the other teams fast break. You should not shoot 15 to 20 3's when you shoot maybe a 20% from 3 land. If you are small you should set up your offense and drive to the hoop hard and pick up the fouls to neutralize the other teams size. You should press, but you need to make sure that you are not getting burned on every play. A half court trap would have the similar effect of the press and keep the other teams fast breaks to a minimum. For someone who thinks they know basketball, you sure do not seem to. You want to talk basketball. I know more than you think you know.
  7. There is no way Nederland will make the playoffs.
  8. I will not use any names. I do know that it is not all on the coach, but it just seems to me that playing the way they are playing and how much they are losing, don't you think that some of this falls on the coach. Like I said I am not putting it all on the coach, but what he is doing is not working, so try something different. I watched the JV girls and some of them are better than the varsity team. If he is such a good coach, now would be the perfect time to get the underclassmen some varsity level experience, or put some of the girls that he only plays for 3 minutes a game down on JV and get them some in game experience and not waste them sitting on the bench. Come on now, I am no idiot.
  9. I agree with that, but he can still work with them and build basic fundamentals. I would pound it into them. You have to lay the base before trying to run the offense types that he is trying to run. He needs to dumb it down to improve their chances. They take 15 3 pointers a game, they need to worry about making high percentage shots. It is not all on him, but a lot of it is. They may shoot 15 to 20% from 3 land. Come on now, he has to have some control over what they do. If not he is not a good leader and should not be a coach.
  10. Eyes roll, Come on, what do you know about basketball? He tells his team to push the ball when they don't have numbers and they get out rebounded and teams get easy baskets because they can never set up. How many fast break baskets have the opposition scored in the past 5 games. I would say about 75. In the last 5 games how many teams have we out rebounded? None, because the team never sets up and gets in a position to be able to get rebounds. The team itself is not that bad, but he could do things to give them better chances to win games. Oh and his press break is horrible. If you know what I mean.
  11. Coach Smith may be a nice person, but his coaching skills lack. The Nederland varsity team is the most unfundamentally sound team I have ever seen. If he is first class he would have taught the girls the proper way to shoot and also to look at the hips when playing defense. They are getting beat because they just don't have it.
  12. Nederland was held scoreless against HJ for a full quarter and lost every game in the YMBL tournement How are they still ranked in the top 10.
  13. I hope that we play better against these guys and come away with a quality win. But here is my prediction. We play well and blow it again in the 2nd half. Lamar loses by 8. We choke again as Curry Todd's shot finally hits the goal and actually scores more points than her turns the ball over (just a dream).
  14. To be completely honest Nuevo is the best inside player right now. He should be starting. He has been doing well inside. Everyone keeps saying Custer needs to step up, but he has not even played in the last few games. The one person that really drives me off the wall is Curry Todd. This kid should not be playing D1 basketball.
  15. The coaching of team seems very suspect to me. I would also be frustrated with the coaching of this team. Where is the leadership?
  16. I was going to do that but I had to vent.
  17. Maybe I just need to change it to "Why do we keep choking". I may be harsh, but were you at the game tonight or against Wyoming. We blew big leads in both the games and in the second half we played with no intensity.
  18. My thoughts on the subject. 1. We have no heart. This is the 2nd game in a row that we should have won, but we blew it down the stretch. 2. We have no on court leadership. 3. We have no coaching leadership. 4. We make way to many stupid decisions with the ball. 5. We play very sloppy and weak with the ball. 6. We cannot finish games. Why is this? I am not sure, but I am tired of going to these games and being frustrated with our play. I do not know how we can win games when we through the ball away as much as we do. I do not see this team crashing the boards. We have a bunch of big bodies who will not get in and rebound the ball. Our shot selection is poor. Last year LS was the man but this year he is not scoring well. CT is a ball hog and turns the ball over way to much to even step foot on the floor. I am not sure but I do not think that any of his shots even hit the rim or the back board. Lastly, when we were down at the end of the game, we were not pushing the ball. We were waiting. We ran way to much time off the clock and it killed us. Roc needs to come up with answers or this team is going to have a long year with very little support from our area and students at Lamar.
  19. We Choked big tonight. Any time we start to get momentum WE BLOW IT. This team has to learn to win the big games. I am so frustrated. This seems to happen every year. I hope that we can find that fire we need to close out big games.
  20. Here is my thoughts on the game. I think that our back court is way way better than last year. I think that the turn overs from this game were based completely on the fact that this team did not take this game to seriously as it was an exhibition game. I think that our biggest problem this year is going to our front court. We lack intensity. Our players are big and bulky but want to play a finese style of game. They need to go to the hoop hard and bang in the paint. Our big men our some of the sloppiest ball handlers that I have ever seen. #33 from UCO out played most of our players even though he lacked the size and supporting cast of our team. I think that we will be better this year and I hope that we will win the SLC but it depends on our teams intensity and ability to play well in every game not.
  21. They lost their QB. It took some time to get stabilized. You just got lucky. You might have had a shot to beat Nederland the week after they lost Sampere. But no chance now. You have been lucky so far but it is about to stop. NO PLAYOFFS FOR YOU. Raiders big heads= big loss to Central. I agree with East, you beat central I will give some respect.
  22. Central rolls in this game. I know Lumberton is not for real. They beat an overrated Dayton team and a horrible Vidor team. LUMBERTON=OVERRATED
  23. Nederland 17-0 TD pass 49 bellows to brady
  24. It is still early, hopefully Nederland can keep the heat on.
