Just because the "Coach" is not on the bench, does not mean that he is not running all the practices, shoot arounds, etc. to get the team ready for the game. He just can not be in the gym during the game. It's not like he is on a vacation away from the team. He did everything he needed to do to get the team prepared for the game and gives his assistant the game plan and he follows it. Yes he is doing a good job at following the game plan and may throw in a little of his expertise during the game, but this team is still being run by Coach Rhodes. They are just now learning how to play without the others that have left the team, and are improving every game. Hudson showed last night that he can play when he wants too, which should be every night. They are going to be a tough out in the All A if they continue to improve like they have. Nice win, good luck next week in the All A.:Thumbs:

First, Rhodes can't be in control of this team because he isn't even in control of himself. He is nothing more than a hot mess. After he sits out Friday night, he will have served a total of 6 games suspended. Then of course there was that one that he just decided to suspend himself from so that he could pick his girlfriend up at the airport. He lost his temper in one game and laid hands on a player from the other team. He fell out with the Williams guy that he brought with him from Texas and ended up firing him and sending him and his two sons back to Texas. The assistant coach said that 8 varsity players have quit in one month. All of this and we have only played one month of basketball.

And as for it being Rhodes' game plan and the assistant only implementing it, well, it doesn't do much good to have a game plan if you can't get the boys to follow through. And either this was Rhodes' first game plan of the whole year or this assistant coach is much better at getting the boys to execute.
