I think it is just a tough sport to coach at a school like that. Where football and track have such a big pull. I really think that is why Kelly has not had as much success during baseball season while at PV. He has had the athletes, and a few good ball players, but they still lose atleast 2 or 3 potential starters every year.

Ok MItchell quit!!!! Any reason why? It seems like every year P.V. has a few players that don't stick it out. If the j.v. team is so good why doesn't Crockett bring a few of those kids up. Im not going to get on here and dog any coach by any means. Coaching is one of the toughest things ever...people always have their own opinions.

jv and varisty is a different game...just like high school and college is a totally different game

So whats so wrong with Crockett the reason his kids quit on him? I mean honestly, quitters have bad attitudes. If they are gonna quit, than maybe they just arent "coachable" when it comes to basketball.
Seriously though, why do they quit for? Is Crockett just to mean, too hard on them? [img]/LDPforum/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smirk.gif[/img]
if someone ever quits a sport because a coach is too "hard" on them, they seriously need to fill that empty sack with a tater..or 2
"i asked a toothless man, who all these people were and, he said the soapmakers...and we are workin workin"
I agree with you knight_67 if your gonna start playing a sport, you should stick it out.
But seriously have you guys seen Crockett coach.........The Haysi game was horrible........played a 2-3 zone for 3 quarters and let Haysi shoot the lights out of the ball.........then in the 4th quarter he went man to man and they cut the lead to 6, but Haysi pulled away............I also heard that he told a player that they weren't a pressing team.....look at the quickness he has on the team.............the offense cracks me up.......PG brings the ball up the floor, one pass and the ball is in the air......run some offense, set screens, work the ball around for an open shot this is not college we don't have a shot clock.............
Another thing I did not understand from the Haysi game, is PV was on a 7-0 run, and had the momentum......and Crockett calls a timeout as soon as PV was taking off on a fast break...........beats all I've ever seen..............
I know coaching is hard, but when you have the talent he has, and still can't make a regional tournament something has got to give......................
Listen guys. I know Crockett has had his share of brain farts, but all of us have. As far as boys quitting, then let them quit. I know if I was coaching I sure wouldn't ask them to come back. That just let's them know that you aren't in control at all. Frustration is one of life's experiences, maturity comes out of learning to deal with life's "bumps and bruises" I see the same thing happening here at P.V. basketball as what has happened in the past with Kelly's football program. We all have to learn, I certainly have.
i think mitchell is stupid for quittin! you dont quit a sport because of the coach..and u dont play a sport because of a coach... u play a sport because you love it...its foolish and stupid to quit if your a good ball player! it hurts the team and ur teamates.. FIRE CROCKETT AND GET SOMEONE IN THERE WHO KNOWS WHAT THEY ARE DOING!!!
Welcome to Merntville!
That is just typical of PV. If their not winning a championship then its the coaches fault. LOL. Crockett is a good coach.....Cut the man some slack he has a lot of young players.
I dont think Crockett is a good coach, but at the same time, its laughable that so many people in this thread think they have the answers like you guys are the General Manager of a madden franchise. First off, its high school basketball, you only get so much amount of time with your players, how he choses to use his time I dont know, but to say he needs to be more involved with 7th graders is about the dumbest post of the year. Stan Wilson is going on 500 wins and over 30 seasons of good basketball. Other than driving the bus to take some 7th graders to summer camp, he hasnt done one thing in his whole damn life that had to do with basketball regarding kids that werent even in high school.
Granted, Crockett might stand to make some adjustments, try some new things, but to say he doesnt work hard and isnt involved is just stupidity on youralls behalf. No coach wants to lose, no coach wants to be criticized. He might not be the best coach, but listening to half the retardation on here, I have a feeling he's a better basketball coach than most of you guys. Sometimes you guys just bitch to be bitching and thats unjustifiable.
