My point is a simple one, I have nothing against the Stepps if anything I think that over all they have improved many things at ALC since I went there. They have moved JBS into the media spotlight with their basketball program. When the lights and cameras come on people start disecting each and every movement that a program does.
I saw many negative posts about Rose Hill when they were in their Mayo period. The Rose Hill bashers were upset for several reasons, the doormat was no longer a doormat. Anytime a team shifts the power, and moves from being counted as a sure win to being one of the favorites to win the region, with the glory and the spotlights comes the complaints.
I have seen it happen time and time again, I experienced it when I was in school, some 30 years ago I saw my high school lose its coach, because of the pressure that was applied by boosters, fans, and a administrator who thought he could "take that team to state" if he were the coach. What the bashers didn't understand then was that the coach had the team clicking, he had their pulse, and when he left so did the team, players quit and we fell from being the favorite to and also ran.

I not saying that they are doing the right thing or the wrong things at JBS, I am only saying that they are now in the spotlight, and the kids given the chance by all envolved will decide how far the team really goes.

If they really want to spotlight the kids today, you don't do it by staying in the mountains, you have to get them a much larger platform. To do that you have to win, the WYMT was a great start, the All A is now out, so they need to refocus and get ready to start taking the steps to Rupp.

I would hope that everyone associated with JBS or any team would understand it's what happens at Richmond, and Rupp that gets you noticed.
