It's very hard to have kids gel with one another if they can never get into a rhythm! Every time there is an opportunity to sub Rhode does. Which I am very shocked that he does this. Again these are teenagers not the pros, you have to give them a little time on the floor together to get in sync with each other. He plays CC all the time cause that's who he has trusted really so far which is not good. CC is a good player but he is not the starting guard for Duke! This is not a slight to him but it is the truth for most of the team. They are all growing into becoming good players. I think some of that energy was lost when Malik left. Even though he was not on the floor with them his presence was there! As a coach you must allow your kids to embrace that loss and your messages to them must be positive to keep them going. Yes, if he doesn't do that besides all the crazy subbing he does, than they will be going in the other direction.

It's shocks me that the Cordia ppl can say anything negative about CC after all the talk before season started. All we heard is that he is the best PG in the state and that they ain't nobody can guard him. I said this b4 season began and I will say it again. Most of the Cordia ppl that post on here never go out and see the true best players in the state. When you make statements like that about a kid all you so is set him up for failure. I love CC's game and I truly think he is one of the best Senior PG's in the state. He is smart, great ballhandler and great at getting to the rim. He isn't a great shooter but he shoots it ok which is plenty good enough to be a dominate player in the 14th region. Say what you want about this Cordia team, they have plenty enough good players to win this region. Cordia should have no excuses if they don't win it. Bottom line is they have the horses, the question is do they have the Jockey.
