They have PLENTY of inbounds plays TRUST ME... I have been to practices THIS YEAR and they worked on inbounds plays for 10-15 minutes, that's part of the practice schedule, always has and always will. Paintsville has plenty set plays but rarely set them up because they fire up 3's off the fast break 9 outta 10 times down the floor. When they do set up an offense and JD is posting up, that play is designed to go inside, not move the ball around the perimeter til you get open enough to shoot the 3 ball. Paintsville attacking the basket then turnin around and throwin up 3's is all on the players whether you like it or not. I know alot more about the Tigers then you think I do, lack of execution on the offensive side, poor defense and poor rebounding is what got Paintsville beat last night, against Bardstown, South Laurel, Henry Clay, Bryan Station, Russellville and Spring Valley, that's the players pal, not the coach. I believe the 4th quarter play showed how good they can be when they PLAY and do the things they are tought and suppose to do...

Then why not bench them!! The coach controls the game. I know the players don't always listen and that BMR has a hard time with this bunch. And it is true that the coach can't play the game for them, but he can sure control who plays in the game! If they keep the attitude they had in the first 3 quarters last night, then they easily could be beat out in the District and not even go to the Region. If they play like they did in the 4th, then they could win the Region. The Coach has to get a handle on this and the players are going to have to understand it as well. Good example: last year Paintsville gets knocked out of the Region when they should have won it, and JC squeaks through and wins it!
