*** PN-G 55 VIDOR 21***

[PNGMOM]

Vidor showed alot of heart out there last night. As a fan/mom i was embarassed for our team, oressing Vidor till the end even when they only had 3 players to finish the game and we were up 30...i just didnt get it

Wow, I don't know all the facts so I'll just say congrats on the win. How many does Vidor dress out on the women's varsity team?

Why did Vidor only have 3 girls on the court?

Why did Vidor only have 3 girls on the court? 

Because they started with 7 cause 2 were not playing so 4 fouled out and left them with 3

[Bobcat1]

Wow, 4 girls fouling out.  That is weird.  If they didn't have a game this week, why didn't the coach bring up a few JV players just in case something like that happened?

The JV is very young and inexperienced they also only had 8 players... Vidors basketball program is very small..on top of the the refs were calling EVERYTHING

We don't have leagues pushing interest in baseketball for

our young ladies.  Not like we do softball.  Softball is VERY

big here.  I believe that is why we do not have more young

ladies in the sport in school.

Coach Arbuckle wasn't very happy about the press late in the game either.

I hope this isn't true.

Don't know all of the details behind this, but from the outside looking in this is about as Classless as it comes.

[vpfan1990]

It is true...and it will happen to them when they play central you can bet on that..

[hawkdad]

Just remember, that is a coach's decision. Don't blame the girls. Personally, I have never been impressed with PNG's coach. I've watched them play games the past 2 years and have left the gym shaking my head numerous times. I'm not sure if she is a true basketball coach.

My daughter played softball last year for Arbuckle....she is a good coach doesn't put up

with shanagins from the girls, if you talk in practice you will run the whole practice, etc.

I can only imagine her screaming her lungs out at that game!  She does speak her mind.

You know, my daughter plays on the PNG varsity basketball team and plays her heart out - whether they are beating the tails off their opponent, or getting thier tails handed to them...and, yes, central handed us our tails!  I don't understnd the bashing that goes on against us all the time, either on here or on the court/field.  Those girls play hard and do what their coach tells them to. Sometimes the parents walk out of the gym trying to figure out what the coach is doing, but THAT'S HER JOB not mine to coach those girls!  We have seen some pretty classless acts against us also, but you don't see that put on the message board.  Believe me, our girls walked off the court last Friday night talking about how dumb that game was because of all the fouls called.  It went both ways, though.  One of the PNG girls got fouled out too!  And the Vidor coach, I think, did her best with what she had to work with.  I think the girls on both teams played hard, but PNG outplayed Vidor.  PNG has a team that is pretty good this year.  Are we going to playoffs?  Not hardly, but we can be a spoiler team.  Please stop talking so badly about these girls.  They are, after all, nice people off the court.

I don't believe anyone has said anything about the girls. I believe it was the coaches actions in question. Maybe I missed something?

No one said anything about the kids, it was the coach that got everyone talking.  Also that is sad, your coach pressed a team that had 3 girls on the court. Just adding insult to injury.  I feel bad for the PNG girls, because when other coaches hear about what she did they will show no mercy and rightfully so.

In NO WAY was my earlier post directed toward any of the girls on the PNG squad.  The girls are just following direction from their coach no matter how misguided those instructions might be.

I'm not sure what value or lesson the "coach" was trying to instill in her players, but if someone can enlighten me please do.

I think I was very clear when I said "Dont Blame The Girls". It is the coach that is in question here. And by the way, my neice plays for PNG and I know she is a good kid. I don't understand where you are coming from. Did we all miss something?
