Just because he is 6'6" or whatever, doesnt mean he can play or deserves to play. What ever happened to earning the right to play? Those days are almost gone. His basketball skills are mediocre at best. He has relied on his size to get him this far and now other post players just shove him all over the floor at will. Moving to another school wont help him IMO. He needed to work overtime to reach his potential. It is not from the lack of Coach Evans not working with him to get better. It is easy to point the finger at the coach and blame them for all of our short-comings, but the truth is, it is the player who needs to step up and realize that they must put in all the hard work to get better.

Just like losing the Broughton kid, I would say Knox is content with this due to the fact of all the drama he and his father kept going while there. If I were the coach, I would be glad not to have to deal with a drama queen and focus on young men who want to learn and get better and most of all, play TEAM ball and not ME ball.

i agree with you 100 percent on earning playing time and that moving schools wont help him but if he aint happy where he is then he wont want to show improvement or try to work to get better. but i also agree that you should work hard to get better if you want to play the sport no matter where your at. i also believe that he wont be as good as he could be until he improves.

BUT the Broughton kid that was coach Evans doing he didnt control his team and he didnt give him the right punishment. thats the coaches fault for letting him com back. i watched bville all summer and they played TEAM ball and that was the only way the could win was playing together. coach Phipps knows how to handle his players and get the best out of them. he has done it for the past 27 years and will do so as long as he is the coach. so that's where the difference is coach phipps is among the best coaches in the state and he knows how to handle the broughton kid.
