It's not good to call out a player, especially if your a fan of that team. Kendra is a heck of a person, and loves the game of basketball and should be praised for the effort she puts forth every time she steps on the floor. She could play on my team any day, as well as any of the Lady Tigers.

The destruction of a team begins at home (or on a message board) not during practices or a game.

The problem with most of these teams is they read all the comments posted about themselves on this board and others like it. Much damage is done with some comments that are a lot more than constructive criticism. Sometimes you're downright rude. We're talking about teen-agers here. Let the kids enjoy the sport and quit picking them apart. I've seen terrible comments posted about both Chelsee and Kendra along with many other kids. How do you think that makes them feel when they read it? No wonder kids make mistakes during their games. They're thinking about what was posted and trying to play so nobody will say something on the board about them after the game. C'mon, guys, let these kids play and enjoy the true spirit of the game without talking about what you think their shortcomings are. That's why we pay coaches the big bucks.

I've preached this same sermon... and I couldn't agree more! Great post! And...... thank goodness that blackcat person hasn't been to any more of our games than they have...LOL!!! (she could almost be considered a snakebite-voo-doo-monkey duster for us):Shaking: :big grin: (just kidding... sorta...lol... really!)
