shorttexas1 Posted December 12, 2006 Report Posted December 12, 2006 Any comments on Zeke Smith's (Aldine's Head Coach) coaching advice for our Beaumont area schools after the YMBL that he stated in our own Beaumont Enterprise. Check it? About Central: "I thought everyone did a good job in the game," said Aldine coach Zeke Smith, whose team is ranked No. 12 in the Texas Association of Basketball Coaches Class 5A poll. "Central is a very athletic team. I think if they would have allowed their players to press more it could have been a closer game." Yeah I think they should press the bus driver on the way to the game and all the way back home. Central has an infite bench. Talent may drop off as you go down the bench but there is more than enough bodies to press an entire game. This is high school... all you need is two players on the court at anytime that can make good shots. Any kid, even the less talented, can hit a lay-up on a fast break caused by a good press like Georgetown or the 2-2-1. About Ozen "I think Ozen was our toughest competitor at this tournament," Smith said. "They had a pretty good game plan against us. I just think they took the air out of the ball too early. But we got a lot of positive things from this tournament. "We were able to see a lot of things that we will come up against during the district season." Boutte, I have no right to question your coaching and neither does Zeke Smith until he has won enough championships. You've had great talent, that I know could have averaged 90 points a game. And with all the great talent that comes through the program (all the height in Beaumont usually) no one goes on to bigtime college ball. I guess no D-1 school wants a kid that averages 7 points a game in a game in a game that he wins 50 to 49 points. Only kids playing Keena Young (BYU) and Kendrick Perkins (Boston Celtics).
