The only defense I'm going to say is. OBI had the best big guy in 13th region and I watched several games OBI played and yes I blame the coach not one game I see OBI using the Hall kid like a team should use him. Hall pit OBI on his back many many times I watched and he was almost unstoppable with 2 n 3 defenders on him and I seen where if he got in trouble the ball would come back out. So how can u have a big n not use him 🤔 Then u take one of the best shooter xoshia that had no limit in range and at the beginning of the season u run the ball all through your guards n not allowing him to do what his strong point is 🤔 n sitting him n yelling at the kid where his mind was all over the place. U could see he was nervous to even shoot the ball in his face impressions. The coach might be a good guy but yelling n screaming at those boys has done nothing but cause the kids to lose heart n faith in their game u could see it from one game to the next. I seen where it went from praising the kids at the beginning of the season n sitting them on a star level to dropping them like a bomb n criticism them that they don't have heart n listen to they ain't that talent. How about the coach step up to the big boys pants n take a little heat that all yr he had a great team n he (Coach) failed at preparing them all season for post season. The kids can only do so much n that's where it comes down to actually how your coach can excute the X's n O's anybody that watch OBI play from Dec.1st till now knew they had a great talented bunch of boys and what I seen when OBI went to Gatlinburg over Christmas and the big kid got kicked off the team n sent home OBI started to struggle n was losing there identity and it was the kid had a bad attitude. Maybe OBI needs to set back and look at what went south with the kids n coaching staff and set down n fix the problems n build for next yr. Heck I'm not trying to start any fuss but hell I even have seen the coaches getting into it right on the side lines during the games n even pushing n shoving. So don't take me all wrong big mouth n think I'm just criticism OBI or the coaches but the truth is they are a problem some where n it all just can't fall back on the player's. They are just kids n needs some body to lead them n the coaches needs to be that role model. When u tare a kid down u also have to learn to build a kid back up if u want him to succeed. Correct when mistakes and praise when theirs joy.🙌👏 So I hope OBI has a great off season and comes back strong as ever next season. Good luck to OBI

I saw the same things you saw. Totally Coach's fault. He has to own this. I'm sure he is a great guy. Being a great guy does not make you a good Coach. Had Marcum took the OBI job their season would have been totally different. End of Story.
