i've heard the same story. If its true its a shame. Rose had BL comming along pretty good by the last of the season. example: the game against Shelby Valley. If Newman doesn't foul out with 1:27 left, they beat the best team in the region and possibly go on to the state tournament.... But if he can't return next season i'm still hoping for Hall, record or not.
I'm new to the Forum and havn't followed high school sports the last several years, but i've loved the game for the last 40+ years either as a participant or a spectator and I know a good coach when I see one!

Too bad it took Coach Rose all year to play the kid.

Seriously, last year was Newman's first year of HS basketball Rose did a solid job helping him improve in the paint. You could see the kid get better as the season went along. I did wonder why Newman didn't start towards the last few games of the season to get him ready for heavy minutes in the postseason.

Newman has a soft touch inside, hopefully his footwork improves this summer and learns to avoid body contact on defense and look for the rebound more than the block.
