[/quote]Congrats to them, that was a nice accomplishment. However, it WILL put a target on them, bc people will 'get up' when they play against Central, knowing they defeated Yates, regardless if it did not mean anything.

[/quote] Obviously, its not that many Central supporters here so I guess its safe  to let the secret out. Everybody will be after them.

I think some folks (including you Dove) are putting way too much stock in a "fall league" game. ::)

You have to remember Yates and Central (im assuming, so correct me if im wrong) play the same style basketball.....  Now here is where coaching and experience pay off..... Central playing a team that is more discplined and fundamental and slow the pace down....can central coaches make adjustments against different styles of play.

[shorttexas1]

Central does not play the same style as Yates.  Yes they both run but there are very fundamental differences in the styles of play.  Yates offensive scheme starts with the press, as funny as that sounds.  And the press is very disciplined, its the offense that is not.  Yates almost never over run or over trap in the press.  They get back fast and play in your face chest-to0chest to keepo a team in the up paced once they cross half court.  Number 1 priorty is force quick, bad shots and get the rebound.  Qucik scores with no set offense.  Now when you put them in the half court they like jumpers and crashing the boards.  There is an occassional back side screen and cut but mostly just get the ball on the rim and out athlete everyone for the putbacks.  Central on the other hand has NO discipline on the press.  It is just a thing that will get them out of place in the half court.  They would much prefer the half court and press late in the game.  Also, they have more of an inside out game, and the guards love to stay in the high post.  The biggest issue is that with the lack of coaching they rarely stay in this scheme.  Its normally the kids making it up as they go.  As you can see I have no respect from the coaching in Jaguar land and that is why the will be a great regular season team and bow out in regionals when they see a good coach with at least 2 good players.  Yates has a method to the madness, Central is just madness.

[BLUEDOVE3]

Absent, please tell more about Central's weakness for this year, thank you ;D

[cooligan]

If I'm reading Absent correctly, he is saying Ned with English and his at least two good players will beat Central this year.  :o

[shorttexas1]

The kids have alot of natural basketball IQ which helps the situationn alot.  I watched the loss to Kingwood Park last year and they were basically Ned with two good players and they played sound fundamental ball.  They did have a few extra good ball handlers which helped alot as well.  But I watched Centrals head coach give up at the beginning of the first quarter. This is High School and 20 point leads can be erased in two quateres.  He was subbing in bench kids (that normally get no PT) in the early late potions of the second quarter. Then right after intermission he sat down and stopped coaching. No time outs, no direction, no yelling, and no play calling.  In the fourth quarter the other team got complacent and let Central back in the game, he finally tried to start coaching again.  He got up, yelled pays, too late! 

The thing that worries me the most is watching the schemes throughout the playoffs.  The talent is there and the kids make up for it with pure basketball knowledge.  They ran a Georgetown trap, but the kids were out of position.  They comitted to the middle intead of forcing the dribbler to the sideline.  They over committed often and left there space on the floor. Samething in the half court.  These kids had not been taught roperly and it showed.  I think the top 3 kids had it down packed but as they rotated players in you could see the confusion.  That is why I believe basketball IQ will be big for this squad.  But they will not develop fully without the proper teaching and reinforcement. 

The other BIG problem was no PURE PG........ Let see if that changes this year with some new talent.

[BLUEDOVE3]

Central will do good this year. Like most teams there are weaknesses.

[texas2step4u]

I think Central, Ozen, and Nederland are the top 3 in 20-4A this year, in no particular order.  The rest of the district will have to battle it out for the last spot.  I do agree with the post that mentioned that the Central coaches "give up" on the team when things are bad.  Heck, I dont see much basketball discipline from that team at any time.  They get by with lots of basketball talent.  It sure aint the coaching.  If that team had an English on the sidelines, they could be incredible.  As it stands, they wont make it very far past district play.

Not sure fans or players would play for English, they won their state title when they beat Yates, this season is just a victory tour for them and they deserve it.  Great team accomplishment

Dove Hunter- Just want you to know how much I appreciate your name.  I hope you will do some Dove hunting on this board.  If a coach is a good coach (as Mr. English is) rest assured he can get the job done anywhere with any type of players.  I have seen it done by people to whom I am close.
