[political-power]

Well I read all the comments on here about each and every game that KCC plays and I think it is shame to those boys how you team players and/or parents can get on here and start fights amongst each other with your comments when in fact you are nothing but jealous of either the team player or the parent of that player.. It is a known fact that KCC has a great team of boys on their starting five and they have a great team of boys on their bench.. I think if everyone knew the situation and the school and of course the county they would not be on here insulting these kids and causing more arguments between them unless that is what they are wanting!! If Knott County Board would hire a Coach that wasn't politically persuaded or if the Board would hire someone who knows how to coach a high school boys basketball team and not assist in other schools or be a former girls coach then yeah Knott County would in deed be undefeated but until then you people are hurting noone but those boys.. I mean some comments are true and some are too far fetched.. First of all Scott Mosley has more assist than anyone on that ball team so how could he be a ball hogg, secondly, I agree that Michael Lindon does have heigth and should be under the goal but he is also a great ball handler bringing it down the court, yes I agree that Stuart Stamper is a ball hogg when he gets his moment he slangs airballs and has turnovers like crazy.. I also agree that Matt Everidge is a great ball player he is good with rebounds and down low, Jarrod Amburgey is another great player as well... He rebounds good, he can make three's and plays good team ball.. They have so many good players on the bench that can fill in at any time.. So if you watch the games and know everything bout the team you will see its as much the Coach as anyone.. A good coach should have some plays set up, a good coach should see the mistakes and call some timeouts and change the plays instead of no time outs or wait till they are down so far they can't get back in the lead, and a good coach would put some fire under them instead of letting them trot down the court taking their time when they are down by 10 and only have 2 minutes left in the game I mean really !!! So for all you KCC haters out there keep your opinions to yourself cause you have no idea what its like for these boys to practice day after day walk in a gym where they already feel like loosers cause they have lost the last few games and their self esteem is already low enough then they get down in game and the Coach goes to screaming and yelling at them in front of everyone, on the way home on the bus the Coaches all tell them what they done wrong, and make them work twice as hard at the next practice, they've not had any home games to get wins to help build their confidence back up and then they get on here and have to listen to you all.. So if you have a complaint about a player or a comment to make why don't you call the Board instead of trashing these boys cause I would put either one of KCC's starters up against any of the other high school starters if they had a better coaching staff that wasn't so politically persuaded... At the beginning of season before coach had started this stuff they were winning and playing really great now they can't win cause of certain people and your comments don't help The old sayiing is (IF YOU CAN'T SAY SOMETHING GOOD THEN DON'T SAY NOTHING AT ALL) try it sometime cause they have a heart and an ego just like you all..
