Question: Would Pikeville be going to Frankfort if Steve Silvers would not have adopted Kasongo? Could Bart have won the all A without Kasongo?

Without Kasongo PHS probably does not win this tournament. He is just a difference maker in a lot of games.

But, PHS also did not have Kasongo last year and managed to defeat East Ridge 3 times and win the 59th District.

Once again, no credit given. If you want to criticize you must also be able to congratulate. You are an individual that is upset with the situation of someone in his family and their basketball career at PHS. I was cut by the same program. Once you get over that and realize that Bart Williams is not out to get you, the happier you will be in life, IMO.

But, If you say that the Coach does not win without a player, then is it not the players that win and lose games all the time? No. It is a balance of both. How do you blame the Coach when he doesn't have players as talented? It goes both ways. Coaches get too much of the blame for losses and Players probably do not get enough credit for wins. Both have responsibilities. And if you think that a coach is the sole reason a team wins or loses single games, you are horribly mistaken. Coaches can have a hand in winning individual games, and they can have a hand in losing individual games, but more importantly a coach should be viewed in the totality of his or her program. And at the time as a fan, I am happy with the state of the PHS basketball program. If you are not, then that is one thing, but give credit where credit is due.

If you are an actual Pikeville fan, you would support the kids that play with the Maroon on with Pikeville across the chest. Some things happen that I do not like in different areas within the school, but I am not going to blast people behind a username and do it over the course of 3-4 years (Yes, it has been that long now). And I have been guilty of it in the past, and realize I made a mistake and try to refrain from doing things of the such. I will always support the programs of my Alma mater and the people that invest their all in their efforts. I am a supporter of PHS, and that will not change because I may disagree with a certain person.

Look at it this way. You have the chance as a member of the Pikeville community to come and join together to celebrate the success of PHS and take a trip to Frankfort and enjoy the company of the community. Is that really not as good as trashing someone on BGR every chance you get? I personally invite you to TW Oliver to catch some games, enjoy the company of the fans in the building, as I am positive you would have friends there. And enjoy watching and talking about the game on the floor. It is a great thing we are able to do in this country and it maybe should not be so undersold.

Hope to see ya there! Go Panthers!
