By the way, BH beat Galena Park 72-20 last week, nothing was said...does it really matter how the points were scored?...are you serious ? ...you still ran up the score....at the end of the day, a blow out is a blow out....except when your Ozen.... :P

Not true. W
hen Yates scored 140 points a couple of years ago and their opponent scored 32, the score gained NATIONAL headlines. Point spread means NOTHING in HS basketball. Ask any coach that has class, and they will tell u the same.
If they pressed in the 4th with the 1st team, with a 40-50 point lead, shame on them. If their reserves were in the game, then I have no problem with them improving their game. Nederland girls need to improve, no doubt, but at some point the opposing coach needs to realize the morale of the girls. Who knows, in a few years, Nederland girls might
be beating the Ozen girls just like what has happened on the boys side. [glow=red,2,300]Maybe getting beat so badly will motivate some girls and parents to make girls basketball in Nederland back to a more competitive level.[/glow]
[/quote]  I agree that motivation should start with the girls, but how can you be motivated when you know your coach doesn't even want to be there? In the end it's up to the coach to make the program better.  Speaking from experience.

I've seen some teams in Nederland (all sports) who were suppose to be average or below average. They were told that they were not going to do anything with the current team, etc. These kids decided to take things in their hands and make sure that didn't happen. They worked in the offseason harder than normal. These kids met daily during the summer to practice and improve without the help of the coach. They ended up having outstanding seasons.
Too many people want to rely on and blame the coach. At the HS level, a little extra will go a long way. If kids are passionate enough about it, they will go the extra mile.
