Its not the winning that bothers me, its the coaching or lack of coaching...

I agree completely with this statement.

I have been told by several people who are close to Cordia basketball that he can't coach at all. All of them say he knows the game very well but he doesn't have the first clue on how to translate that to his players and get them to execute and play as a team.

The sentiment that was echoed by everyone I spoke to was that he thought mountain basketball was so bad he could bring the Texas kids with him and just beat everyone because of their athleticism. He quickly found out mountain basketball is better than he thought and just having a couple kids who can dunk will not win many games.

I would love for Coach Rhodes to build a good program at Cordia and bring in some great players to compete against the mountain kids but I don't see it happening. I will be surprised if he is coaching there next year.
