[quote name="stevenash" post="1161325" timestamp="1326766727"] But Dove, what if you believe its time to take over the game but you have a teammate who believes the same thing? [/quote] I would say then let both have it if possible. But in middle school from my experiences, its usually one player. #2The coach's job is to explain each player's role on the team ;)

>:( ;D

Maybe, the better team won the game :-\

[quote name="txcan" post="1161251" timestamp="1326752118"] This could open a can of worms but it goes back to theory: Are Jr High programs in place to win or teach? I understand it would be great to have both, but if you have to choose, what is your choice?  If you have a stud that can score 25 in a 7th grade game and win 70% of your games by himself but not involve the team, do you let him? If you say they are to teach, then tell your JH coaches not to let the kids shoot 3's. Isn't it that simple?  8) [/quote]Players should be taught b4 middle school level that its a team game. Give your teammates the opportunity to participate, but also know when its time to take over the game. Thats the challenge ;)

[quote name="5 on 5" post="1161300" timestamp="1326761177"] Hoping dog fans will come out in droves and pack the dome. Lets make sure Ozen is playing in a hostile environment!  ;D [/quote] OkAY, can we bring our own refs? ;D

[quote name="BULLDOG94" post="1161273" timestamp="1326755430"] I think it would be great to have a shot clock. If there would have been a shot clock during the Lincoln and Ozen champtionship days under coach Boutte. It could have been alot different. He was know for getting a lead and going to the 5 corners offense and chewing up the clock. When you have quick gaurds and no shot clock, you are forced to guard farther out. With a shot clock you can sit in your zone and make teams come to you. So depending on how you look at it, it can be an advantage for slower/less athletic teams. [/quote]Hmmm? After further thought, lets keep it the way it now  ;D

More entertaining for the fans too ;) But I agree, a disadvantage for many teams. But hey, the game is about making adjustments ;)

Must be a really big rivalry to cost whatever coach you are referring to his position. ;)

[quote name="CATMAN" post="1161057" timestamp="1326687073"] Never will be a shot clock Blue [/quote] :(

I,m still looking for the basic two-hand chest pass in a game ;D

Sound like a very good pressure shot to me.

Keeps the high school game it's "signature". Like seeing teams having to use some strategy in those situations. [/quote]There is no strategy in having a 10 pt. lead and you hold the ball. Intentional fouls getting to be too rough at times. [/quote] Excuse me, Dove-  Isnt earning a ten point lead and then trying not to allow the other team a chance to erase it considered a "strategy"?  As for intentional fouls being too rough, I would suggest that there are many "intentional" fouls that are too rough that take place in the course of a game, not just when a team is holding the ball. [/quote]Good, then you do see the advantage for a clock ;)

Okay, why don't you guys start a top 5 list and debate.

[quote name="WOSgrad" post="1160505" timestamp="1326638014"] 7on7 in some other states (Florida) have gotten to be as big a problem as AAU basketball.  That probably was the basis for the 7on7 ban in the SEC and probably the NCAA as well. [/quote]yep!

I'd go for 35

[quote name="LAZEEK" post="1160856" timestamp="1326667151"] How many seconds??  35??? [/quote]30 seconds

Watching Brewster Academy and Tilton Prep play on ESPN. They play with a shot clock. Personally, I'd give my vote for high schools in Texas to play with a shot clock.

NCAA don't want to lose control like basketball.
