Go back and think how many times that has happened. He stops playing to win and and starts playing to try and not lose. 7/10 times it ends in a turnover or missed shot leading to a fast break score. JC had the momentum. If they kept playing the game that they were playing we might have seen a different outcome. Thankfully the stall ball plan started which gave the Tigers a little time to rest and then take off!

When did Darrin Rice step down? The KHSAA page for Johnson Central still has him listed as the head coach.

At the start. Tommy has coached the girls all season.

I’m not sure if you’ve kept up with any of JC girls basketball this year but to say something about Tommy’s coaching is just not right. He stepped in, had to deal with parents, a not so good team and still should’ve won this game. While trying to game plan for the next night. I would’ve held the ball too but I just don’t think those girls could really handle it as shown all year. I think it just proves how smart of a coach he really is. Hopefully, they get a good girls coach now in the off season.

That’s a better way to go about it. Put all the blame on the kids.
