Knott 106 Cordia 10
#1
Very disappointed in Coach Honeycutt....as a long time coach that spent many years at Cordia and has been on both sides....this really surprises me about him.....no place in sports for this!
#2
From one old Bulldog whose opinion probably doesn't matter anyway, I'm really surprised and disappointed by the score of this game. I would love to hear that Coach H. wasn't present for this embarrassing evening not only for Cordia parents and especially their players, but also for any parent in the gym that feels compassion for a child.
#3
No excuses for this score
#4
This is how Knott County rolls. From elementary through high school- show no mercy! The most unsportsmanlike sports county in the state of KY.
#5
Wow. Reminds me of a 2002 District Tournament game the Lady Patriots played when they beat Jackson City 123 to 6.
#6
Maybe Cordia needs to drop out of district since they are that bad.
#7
This is terrible and the man should be fired! No kid, no kid at all deserves to be beat that bad! I hope he gets his just due cause that’s pathetic!
#8
What are we teaching our kids? This is high school basketball. I'm glad I missed this one. I'm kind of with the misses, don't know if I'll continue to support this kind of behavior or not. All year last year the wife and I would hear parents from other teams talk about how dirty we play. We have begin to see why. My apologies to Cordia parents and kids.....

There was nothing else that could have been done. Knott only played their starters 8 minutes and had grade schoolers in the entire 4th quarter. I have played and coached and been on both sides of blowouts. You cannot tell kids not to play when they are in the game. Honeycutt let Cordia shoot the last two quarters with no defenders coming out of the lane. My advice would be to stop whining and find some “underprivileged “ girls to go with the boys they are so proud to help.

I was with you until that comment at the end.
These are kids we're talking about.
#11
There isn't a shot clock is there? Couldn't he have stalled the ball. This is overkill IMO.
#12
I have thought the same thing during their 60-plus game losing streak. It shows the "trying to help kids line" for recruiting in boys basketball is disingenuous
#13
Lol if you dont want beat that bad, play better or quit.

We have to get out of this soft mentality. It's a game. Record are made to be broken, and we should never blame the winning team for a rout like this.

Blame the losing teams admin, coaches, etc for not producing a better product
#14
Wonder why no girls ever come to Cordia to get a education like the boys do?

Would almost seem like a title 9 violation.
It’s ok to recruit boys from other states to come to cordia to play basketball.
But not ok to recruit girls?

It's not that they haven't produced a good product, it's that they produced the best product they could. They probably don't have anything to work with and feel helpless. They produced the best product possible, it just isn't a very good one. If you were the coach at Cordia, it would be the same. For goodness sake, nine months ago we didn't even know if the school was going to exist right now. There are 88 kids enrolled in the school, they only have two upper classmen on the team, Knott has 576 enrolled in the school and are the DEFENDING REGIONAL CHAMPIONS. Why, would you go out of your way to beat a team like that by nearly 100 points? They could have kept the score lower if THEY wanted to, but THEY didn't. There's a running clock with a 35 point lead in the 2nd half, a 40 point lead in the 1st half, and you outscore them by 50-56 points in 16-20 minutes of real time? You put your last 5 players on the bench in, which are still better than their Varsity, and you chew the clock. IF you want to keep this from happening. You tell your kids to not take transition opportunities, hold the ball and chew some clock on your possession. Look for your shot after you burn about 30 seconds. You substitute on every dead ball to milk the clock, it's just good sportsmanship. 106-10 over the Cordia Lady Lions, with 88 kids in the whole school, is that supposed to be a STATEMENT WIN? 106-10 CAN be avoided. You have to try to win 106-10 to win 106-10.

You won’t find many better guys in the 14th region than Jeff Honeycutt.

Sometimes this happens. I’m 1000% sure he wouldn’t have done this on purpose.

Kentucky beat asbury college in 2016 by 96 points. Had them down 110 at one point.
Should coach cal have been fired?

Why didn’t cordia coach hold the ball?
If knott didn’t come out of the lane and you don’t wanna get beat that bad. Why not teach your kids to pass it around the wing and run the clock?

Or maybe knott should have just opened the lane up and let cordia come down and made a few layups. I’m sure that would have made things even better.

I can recall Wolfe County’s girls getting beat by whites burg in the region in the early 90’s like 125 to 20. In the regional tourney. Sometimes it just happens.
If a coach is still pressing and running and trapping the whole game then that’s different.

But Jeff Honeycutt is not a bad guy.

You talk about only having 88 kids enrolled in your school.
Have you checked your boys team out yet?
Does the only having 88 kids affect them?

I don’t understand that argument.
If you only have 88 kids. Your boys and girls teams should be bad? Is this the question here.
Are your boys and girls teams both bad?

The Boys team is good. But, the girls team is not. It hasn't effected the boys, due to recruiting (most likely.) However, it does effect the girls team, because they do not recruit. I use the 88 kids argument to show that the coaches don't have much of a talent pool. 88 kids or 400 kids, they aren't good, at all. I just point that out to say that there isn't much of anything they could do, legally, to be competitive. The only reason the boys are good is due to recruiting, (most likely.) No one thinks that the boys team recruiting is good. If they didn't, they'd be just like the girls team. I think it's commendable that the girls team is playing by the rules, I rather them do that then recruit and win championships over KY girls. I just wish they wouldn't get slaughtered because of it. Some schools aren't set up to succeed, this is one of them. Everytime you beat a team like that, you are telling them to get good or eat it and are pushing them towards recruitment, because that's their only chance to get a good team. I'm just saying, the coaches and players try their best, no need to run them into the ground like that. The running clock is in place to help prevent this from happening, it gives coaches the opportunity to stop this from happening or at least help them to. I'm sure he's a good guy, I'm not saying he isn't.

Last I heard it was more like 68 in high school.
#20
Riverside and JBS have fewer students than Cordia - a lot of small schools in the 14th

"Ouch baby...very ouch!"

Cordia's problem with the girls' program is because it has never had any amount of stability. The team was in a bad way a long time ago and they have never invested in it.

Since 2008 they have had 11 different coaches. That is simply astounding. Most of the coaches I've never heard of and some of them are just parents or teachers they plugged in because no one else would do it. There have been some decent players there, but all of them ended up going to play somewhere else because it's such a bad situation.

And there it is, this kind of idiotic post always shows up defending idiotic actions. Did not read past 1st sentence. Any idiot who can't figure out how to beat kids by less than 90 should not be allowed around kids.
#24
^^*96
Idiotic through and through to the core.
Really worse than idiotic...idiotic and demonic...children aren't capable of this behavior only the worst kind of adults...
#25
Lot to be taken away from team sports other than winning. Guess they missed an opportunity to teach the other parts of the equation at KCC.
#26
I think they need to bring Rod Rhodes back and let him get the girls program back on top.

[Image: https://media.giphy.com/media/l3q2Pzt6bc...source.gif] Not so fast my BGR friends! Honeycutta went deep as the well could go and wez slowed this mutha down! Honeycutta took starters out and played everybody wez could! Honeycutta gave the double fist pump with thumbs in the air which indicates going onto Fatpat mode! Fatpat mode is when we dont freaking move and let em drive while wez stand there like Fatpat after the buffet! Letchy drops 90 and beats em 71 and wez beat em 96. Point of this lil story is you bruthas ever watch a man fall off a camel and cant hid sand?! Ole Patriot Nation was in a hurry to wrap this mutha up and hit the Wymt wide open! Clock was running before Cordia walked in the gym! #wehadmercyorzwescored200 #cordianotwonsince2015 More mash taters please!!!
#28
Very poor sportsmanship indeed. Since the running clock rule came into affect. You have to want to beat someone like that.
#29
Or it could be they still upset over the election or Judge Shepherds decision......either way....very surprised and disappointed in Coach Honeycutt
#30
FatPat you’re kidding yourself if you want to act like you couldn’t have slowed your offense down to avoid the final score. But hey stay classy, very hard for girls to score 100 when trying not to run it up with the running clock rules.
