As someone who is very close to the program and has been around it for many years, let me share my thoughts on some of this. Having talked to Coach Hall personally about some of these issues, I have to say first of all this guy knows basketball and has two great assistants who know their stuff. Yes two of the most talented players left the team early in the year, but they also had the worst attitudes of any player I have seen play at Powell Co. and I were a coach I would choose good attitudes over talent any day. Now this has left a very young team who did not get much time off of the bench last year. The seniors they have are inexperienced and are not your average leaders that they should be. Put quiet simply, Coach Hall has a very young team that lacks in many fundamental areas. They don't handle the ball well, they are slow, they can't play defense properly, they don't make good decisions, and shooting isn't great either. These things should be taught before now, however with this being a rebuilding year these are things they should focus on to get ready for the future.

FROM WHAT YOU ARE SAYING THEY ARE HORRIBLE CAN YOU NOT FIND ANY BRIGHT SPOTS OF THIS TEAM. YOU KNOW THEY ARE TALENTED JUST LOOK IN THE RIGHT PLACES AND USE THEM AS STRENGTHS INSTEAD AS EXCUSES. I CANT BELEIVE YOU ARE LUMPING THE ENTIRE TEAM INTO THIS DESCRIPTION. YOUNG TEAM OR NOT YOU HAVE TO WORK WITH WHAT YOU HAVE INSTEAD OF TRYING TO MOLD THEM INTO WHAT THEY ARE NOT. THEY HAVE GREAT POSSIBILITIES MAYBE THAT IS WHAT WE SHOULD BE FOCUSING ON. MAYBE WE NEED TO BE SMALL AND FAST INSTEAD OF BIG AND SLOW, OR MAYBE WE SHOULD ADJUST THE TEAM TO THE TALENT WE HAVE. JUST SOME EXAMPLES OF HOW WE CAN IMPROVE WHAT WE HAVE TO WORK WITH.:howdy:
