5GallonBucket

[quote name="txcan" post="1161661" timestamp="1326836614"] I go to high school games for turnovers...and apparently the conession stand.... [u]I get on SETX.com for tips like cutting a 5 gallon bucket and nailing it to a pole....[/u] [/quote] dont know if ur bein serious or pokin fun.....but when u grow up and thats all u have....i made do....and it came to be an advantage for me later on.  please try it and see how frustrated you get.....and if you have a youngin have them start shooting on it....it will help in the long run

my fault i got off point....i was talking about junior high and high school.

I wonder how many schools actually do block out drills.....not to get confused with rebounding drills. kids aren't even taught how to block out on freethrows....next time your at a game watch how many defensive players (when shooting FTs) have there weight on the wrong foot or how they place themselves.....

TURN OFF THE NBA, THROW OUT DS, PLAYSTATION, XBOX, etc Cut the bottom off a 5 gallon bucket nail it to a telephone pole and see how well you do. To help with shooting, not necessarily form, but i will say that it helped me to become a highly nationally ranked statistically shooter in college.  a 5 gallon bucket was my first goal, the ball barely fit so perfect arch was a must.  it was discouraging at first but i had determination unlike kids these days who quit something so quickly without having instant success.....hence xbox, playstation

I can't say what i want to say about this

i guess its a congrats for Silsbee.

lil luck is all that is..  but its still a win.... HJ definitely lost that game with freethrows.... IT ll be different next go around.....wont come down to some bs half court shot.

lets go hawks

time?

freethrows will get you everytime

oh i agree for the most part. for one parents have an emotional attachment to the game due to having children playing.  So when they say anything that has alot of adjectives or adverbs in it....emotions talking....  These parents are the ones that think lil johnny or lil suzie is the best player even though their kid rides the pine and can't figure out why....uhhhhh....they re not very good mom and pops.  REALITY. I played in a district when barbers hill and HJ were in it....  if you played at barbers hill in the 90s you knew how the refs were going to be same for HJ and i will admit the same for HF....cause i played there.

[quote name="hjhawks" post="1158655" timestamp="1326394456"] All that is left to do is hook, when the defense is allowed to put a forearm and a hand on you on a drive to the basket....  ;)....  btw, The foul count doesn't have to ever be even.  Any ref that bases calls on the foul count is a horrible ref!  A foul is a foul. [/quote] i know it doesn't have to be even, but there's obvious no calls and ridiculous calls.... thats whats sad is when a ref favors another team....  it happens...so don't say it doesn't i see you didn't respond to the one sided comments.. hey if she can get away with it more power to her.... she dribble drives right every time you think defenders would catch on to that.

im pullin for hf in the next game vs HJ, but i already know how the refs are gonna be when HF plays at HJ.  its always the same...one sided.  So im predicting HJ will win by 15 or more. IF you disagree check the books for the foul count in last years game. All the offensive hooking that #5 does to get around players will not be called. I believe HJ will win the game no matter how the refs call...but its obvious the refs are one sided there. I ll already have an idea who the refs are going to be for that game.

i never said central didn't have good players.....  central is always athletic, but you can't win with Athleticism alone.  Athleticism can hide poor coaching just like good players can.  When Green was at central there was good coaching and good teams. And just because a school makes playoffs and gets a playoff win here and there doesn't mean their TEAM is good as a group cause some teams have some individual players who happen to win games for them.  GOOD TEAMS go several rounds deep at least. Good players don't always equal good teams Good players can sometimes equal selfishness

i know im going to here it on this, but its the truth Most kids that go to central are uncoachable....let me say again..MOST not all.  I deal with this at the junior high level.  They would rather scrimmage, try to cross some one up, or jack up a three that they have no business shooting than work on fundamentals....like form shooting, passing the ball, ball movement, free throws, dribbling drills, etc Most of them think they know more and whats best.  To many individuals and not enough team.  Watching the NBA is the worst thing for these young players. Trying watching Princeton or Duke instead.

oh ok....  yeah definitely was a fun game.  i like it when the refs let em play. i ll be there

HJ in a close one...........comes down to freethrows

[quote name="hjhawks" post="1157736" timestamp="1326254379"] Riding Solo.... you know there is more to a game than the scorebox.... ;) Starting pt. guard missed almost half of the game due to foul trouble... Missed [b]12[/b] layups and at least 8 or 9 point blank shots.... and still won... [/quote] HF also missed alot of freethrows and several point blank shots and our only legit post was in foul trouble so i guess hf should ve won...... no hf lost because of those things

[quote name="Riding Solo" post="1157697" timestamp="1326251538"] [quote author=5gallonbucket link=topic=94040.msg1157681#msg1157681 date=1326250409] Yeah......definitely....i ve been saying it all year that if the coach would change her line up and play man to man defense that HF could challenge HJ for first.. I believe if HF plays this way against Orangefield...then we can beat them. HF guards didn't shoot the ball as well as they usually do.......probably due to the competition and big game magnitude. [/quote] I agree bucket, HF has not beat Orangefield in a long time. This will be a interesting year no doubt.  If the [b][u]Parents[/u] would leave the girls alone at Orangefield they could do well[/b]. I think they are adapting to that concept.  Time will tell. [/quote] agree with you solo

its amazing what great coaching can do for a team, for a school, for a community

good job hf coach few line up changes and played man to man.......made a game out of it. HF had to be 2 for 15 on free throws....that hurt. overall good job HF girls. Congrats to HJ to pullin that out.

Predictions?????
