Ohgie Mcgee questions the coaching in loss

I am all hip with the idea that everyone on the team needs some time on the court. I know we are as strong as our weakest link. But, in our last losss to the Anaheim Capitals, there were some coaching moves that have my eyebrows breakdancing across my head.

By the end of the game Liu and I had great games in the backcourt and Marius and Wytcka were both o.k. but Liu Haisheng and I were in a zone tonight. Both of us played a total of 0(zero) min in the first quarter! In the second quarter I got a whooping 6 min and Liu got 8 min. In the first half with us on the bench the team scored 39 and allowed 46 on the other side. When we were allowed to play in the second half we scored 54 to their 55! Granted we still gave up one more point than the opposition still, but I thought coaching was about building up all of your players and getting the best crew on the floor to win. Checking the simple math, I needed to be on the court with my bro Liu more in the first half.

Each game there are players that are having it all go their way. The coach has to be able to use that first quarter to find out who is doing what that night and then use the second quarter to verify that. By the third quarter, it's game on and time to kick some buttocks. Evidently our coach believes in the dart board approach. He sits there blindfolded chucking darts at the wall untill he hears five of the darts hit the board. Those will be the starters evidently.

I am sorry to sound so bitter, but as a player, I want to win. We could have been in this game if the coach had not been sleeping for the second quarter so much. Yes the tallent on the floor in the second let us down as well but players already know their game and how they did. If they are good players they will be busting it to get their game up for our next match. The coach seems totally disinterested during some of our games like this one. Maybe if the gm and coach were in the building acting like real humans instead of trying to run the team remotely over the computer we might have more success.

We have tallent. We do need some tweaking, but the San Jose Bats could be a good team in this division if we had a good gm. With a pf on board and some better clock management, I am sure we could be in the top half of the division consistantly instead of the bottom.

Maybe our coaching staff needs to go to www.focusdep.com to get some inspirational reading in. That site is full of stories that help motivate players, coaches and people of all ages.

We still don't have a pf and I don't understand what is preventing us from going out and acquireing one of the many good pf that are out there.
