Honeycutt is among the top coaches in the region, I would say top 5 IMO, he a great coach, and he didnt get lucky, in no way, he is a great coach, and could be a good coach anywhere

Honeycutt is a good coach with 13 year olds. Ever since he has started coaching HS, He hasent had a winning season, has he?

[konan]

Honeycutt is a very good coach and a nice person along with that.

2002-2003 with Knott he went 13-14, I know not a 20 win season but still, he beat Whitesburg and Breathitt County team, 2003-2004 he went 9-19, not good again, but look what he had too, with Cordia in 2004-2005 he went 13-13 again, and beat Knott in district, and last year he went 12-15, so not a good record all together, but he is one of the best coaches in the region, he knows what he is doing, and for the talent he has, he is doing a pretty good job

Well MR. NOITALL stat man, I don't care what you say, this guy can't coach.

[JBIRD]

Honeycutt led some great victories against Frankfort Explosion, Lexington Catholic, and Scott County during the late 90's when those teams produced many division 1 talents.. However, he did fall below expectations with the Knott Central teams that had many of the key players from the early years. Lets face it.. he coached many of those players on the 2001-2004 for over 6-7 years absent was Jamie Fugate a key player for Perry Central during those years.

i think jbs could be down 30 pts with 10 seconds to go in the game and still manage to pull out with a win. its called confidence, they have plenty of it. i think some of the other teams could beat jbs they just get intimidated. jbs only beat cordia and kcc by 5 pts so its just a matter of time. but congrats jbs on the win. good job.

i think you may be right.

[Cucumber]

If they were so good why would they be down 30 points to start with?

[speedy]

i have to agree with allthewayhome. honeycutt is a good coach and he is a very nice person. u have to understand that it takes talent on the court as well as on the sidelines. if u dont have the talent to go with the coaching u aint gonna have a good team. but cordia played good against jbs so they have nothing to be ashamed of.

[speedy]

just because a team is down dont mean anything. thats why u play 2 halfs. if ur down in the first u can try to come back in second.

Just because you have one good game dont mean anything, If Cordia plays JBS again as close then yes I will agree with you but right now its just luck.

[allthewayhome]

here is my definition of luck that i learned a long time ago.
luck- preparation meets opportunity. so without working hard to get there than you can't get lucky at anything.

[Survivor]

I'm touched

[speedy]

its always luck in any game. all it takes is for one team to have a good game and the other team to have a bad game. sure some teams have better players than others but u cant rely on just one person to get the job done. it all comes down to luck in any game if ur shootin good and playing team ball the ur gonna come out on top.

[allthewayhome]

I'm touched

you should be. but think about it the people with bad luck don't try anything and just give up because things go wrong. and people with good luck always try and don't give up.

[speedy]

jbs can be beaten. i think they r a good team but anyone can be beaten if they have a bad nite and the other team is havin a good nite. thats all there is to it.

[Cucumber]

Well I cant go by that because im thinking of Knott Co. right now.

[allthewayhome]

jbs can be beaten. i think they r a good team but anyone can be beaten if they have a bad nite and the other team is havin a good nite. thats all there is to it.

i agree

[speedy]

i agree with alltheway when ur not doin too good u tend to give up thinkiin that u aint gonna be able to win. thats whats wrong with some teams when they play jbs. and thats why cordia and kcc only lost by 5 they didnt give up. but that doesnt mean that jbs will beat these two teams again. if they r havin a bad nite and either one of these two teams is havin a good nite jbs is beat.

[speedy]

explain cucumber what ur thinkin about please

explain cucumber what ur thinkin about please

Knott Co. trys hard but they dont have any good luck

[allthewayhome]

Knott Co. trys hard but they dont have any good luck

true they do try hard and prepare for games but that is only half of it when they get the chance, wait and see they can be a good team.

[speedy]

well I hope so but I dont see it happening, I think they have waited to long in the season to prepare for Region but anything can happen

Cordia came into the JBS games as the underdogs. They seem to be the underdogs in most games they play. Dont underestimate the talent of the team or the coach. Cordia doesnt go into games with the "big head" thinking they are going to blow everyone away. Its not because they arent a talented team, its because they are a small team and they dont take anything for granted. They know they have to stay focused on the game.Go back and look at Cordia's record this year, sure it isnt a winning one BUT they werent blown away by 30, 40 points ...in fact most of the game were single digit loses. Because Cordia is a small school they seem to be overlooked by just about everyone and some naturally assume when they play Cordia it is going to be an "easy" win. Most of the teams that Cordia play have a bench with enough players for 2 or 3 teams....Cordia is small and lucky to have enough players to even have a team. If you truly watch Cordia play basketball you will see those kids have heart...they come to play TEAM ball....its not about one or two players on the team showboating their way through a game to get their stats high......in all the games Cordia played this year, NEVER once has any of the other teams "cleared their benches".....Cordia needs to finish off their games, they stay close and even ahead until the last few minutes of the game....they tire out towards the end of the game because they give it their all during the game with a small bench for any relief. I think if all the Cordia players ran track and cross country to stay in shape then they would win more of the "close" games. I wish they were the "run and stun" lions that use to outrun any team they played. Honeycutt is a good coach, no matter what the records say, he DOES know how to coach and he doesnt have relatives on his team that he showboats....mentioning no names about this and dont mean to offend anyone but its MY opinion and I have a right to express it just like you all have expressed how you feel. Even without mentioning the names, I KNOW someone will blast this post back with something about the team I am referring to. I find it hilarious. No matter what anyone on here says....ANY team CAN beat ANY team on ANY given day/night. Luck? Bad luck, Good Luck???? Who knows???? I do know one thing and that is.....Dont come to play Cordia thinking you are going to blow them out of the gym...you may beat them and you may very well blow them out of the gym...but if you come into a gym thinking you are going to blow them away...then that may very well be the night that Cordia can beat you..that may be their "ANY GIVEN day/night"....Never underestimate the power of a small, but very united TEAM.... ( ANY SMALL TEAM, not just Cordia...I only used them as an example) Always be prepared, stay mentionally focused and play TEAM ball...

I never meant it to seem disrespectable, and I do appreciate those on here who do. What I meant was exactly what you said about some saying JBS had a bad game, and not giving Jeff and his Lions credit for a great game plan and execution of it. JBS is a great team don't get me wrong there either I'm just saying before the game very few people gave Cordia a chance to stay within 10 and after it was over a lot of people was jumping on the Honeycutt band wagon and as you can see you and I were already on it. No disrespect here to anyone and if it was taken that way i am sorry.

I appreciate the post... No hard feelings and i agree 100% with this.:Clap:

[bluegrass]

Good comeback. What does a game that happened last year have to do with JBS only beating Cordia by 5 points this year? Why cant you answer a question someone asked about a post you made instead of living in the past. Did Cordia outcoach JBS? Was Cordia more prepaired for JBS than JBS was prepaired for Cordia? Do you think every team has to deal with sickness and injury? And why is it when it is a close game, there is always reasons why JBS didnt blow out teams? This is going on this year, not last year.

buddy, i will gladly answer your questions for you.


did cordia outcoach jbs? no, jbs won the game, so therefore it seems to me that cordia must have gotten outcoached.

was cordia more prepaired? no, jbs won the game, so therefore it seems to me that cordia was not more prepaired.

does every team have to deal w/ sickness and injury? yes, but different players have sickness and injury at different times.

close games? jbs should blow some of these teams out, but the main thing is, they still win them, so what is the problem. teams with horrible records (rather its highschool, gradeschool, college......) play teams w/ great records close all the time.

i hope i was able to give you a very straight foward answer big guy!

[bluegrass]

exactly, its hard to play two guards against four

it would have been hard for four guards to go against jbs's big men.

[Cucumber]

1 point win or 20 point win, Its still a lose for Cordia.
