That coach is a douche.

Why?

It's not good for the kids (on either team), and it's very douchey.

agreed...would be much better for the West kids to get blown out by 30 but jack up shots at will. at least they think they are cool and get to shoot a lot. a deliberate pace seems very traumatizing for both sides....prob should get the authoritites involved.

Yes.

a shot clock in high school would be hilarious. do you see who they get to run the game clock at small town games? It's basically the lunch lady back there who already forgets to start/stop the clock 10 times a game.

I got to run the scoreboard at a jr. high game once. I was 16. True story.

So the only available options are to have 2-minute long possessions or "jack up shots at will"? That coach sucks.

she also accidentally blows the buzzer a few times when reaching for the possesion change arrow switch.

I was a ref for a junior high game when I was in High school. One of the refs didn't show up and I knew the other one from church. I wasn't supposed to be reffing but they didn't have a choice other than cancel the game and the coaches agreed to let me ref. It was fun.

Yeah a coach developing a gameplan that allows his team to compete.

Totally douchey.

The coach is not competing (or gameplanning) at all. He's an attention whore who cares more about himself than his kids. Douche.

I can see positives and fault with both coaches. I can't fault a coach that lost by double digits at home to one of the Top teams not only in the state, but in the nation, devising a gameplan to try to win and get his team closer to the playoffs. But I've never liked HS coaches going to the stall/hold the ball strategy either, but with no shot clock they are certainly free to do it.

For the other coach obviously he's doing something right b/c he has one of the Top HS teams in TX and the country. My point about him would be if you are really that good, why let some average HS TX team dictate tempo and pace. If you are really that good (and he even admitted he anticipated they might stall), then put in some half court pressure defense to take the inferior team that wants to stall out of their plan. I mean it sound like they pretty much let them stand around at times in the game, pressure the ball and force the tempo with your team.

"Earlier this week, Delancy did not play either when Krop lost to Hialeah-Miami Lakes."

Would love to see at least a boxscore on this game(Miami Lakes is Diaz' team), but no luck searching the interwebs for it.

Real tough luck for the Kropsters, hopefully they'll at least get a chance to compete in the State Playoffs.

Without Delancy, Krop lost to Miami Lakes or Diaz's team. Story comments are interesting.

Has been fun reading Northstarbball driving all over the state trying to find the Krop game that may now no longer exist

The TABC boys rankings might need a little calibration after Friday night.

Three of the top four teams in the state 5A rankings, all area teams -- Flower Mound Marcus, Cedar Hill DeSoto -- barely made it past their opponents on Friday night.

Flower Mound Marcus, ranked No. 2 in the TABC rankings, won the most convincingly of the three, beating Plano, 51-46. Marcus Smart scored a game-high 20, but it wasn't a cake walk for Marcus (27-1, 9-0 in District 8-5A). Plano (17-10, 4-5) had a chance to tie the game in the closing seconds, but a three-point attempt by Clayton Parlin didn't go down. Phil Forte, Jr. made two free throws in the closing seconds to give Marcus the five-point win. Marcus has three straight single-digit wins in 8-5A play.

DeSoto, ranked No. 3, needed overtime to avoid its second-straight district loss, beating Longview at home, 56-49. DeSoto (26-3, 4-1) will surely fall in the rankings, considering it lost to Mesquite on Tuesday, 51-44. But two straight losses would have found them at risk of falling out of the top 10. Longview (18-6, 2-3) outscored DeSoto 21-9 in the fourth quarter to send the game to OT, but could only muster three points in the extra period.

Cedar Hill, ranked No. 4, needed a standout performance by its star, Thomas Gipson, to squeak by Mansfield Timberview, 56-54. Gipson, a Kansas State signee, had 24 points and 12 rebounds for Cedar Hill (25-2, 9-0 in District 5-5A). The game was tied, 40-40, heading into the final quarter. Timberview (14-13, 4-5) started the season by alternating wins and losses over its first 10 games.

At least the No. 1 and No. 5 teams, also area teams, won handily. Garland Lakeview Centennial, the state's top team, beat Naaman Forest, 73-49, while North Crowley beat Fort Worth Paschal, 61-37.
