You can only be as good as your coach will let you be. This coach is only an offensive coach. She doesn't play any defense whatsoever! I watched her last year at the District tournament at Phelps, and the girl from Pike Central was shooting threes right and left and not one time did she put a girl in her face to stop her shooting. But again, she is a Pike Central graduate, so how hard is she going to work to stop them from winning? She made a statement at one of the tournaments, that she didn't have to play any defense when she played. The ball was always given to her to score. Pretty one sided if you ask me. In my opinion, she has brought the Belfry Girls basketball program down. I don't think they attended any camps this summer either. If you lost your top scorer to graduation and knew you had all new girls in the starting lineup, don't you think you should attend a camp or two to get the feel of how they will all play together? '

She's had several good assistants on her program, Keith May, David Copley, for example. Who is her assistant now?

I admire JR Vanhoose for helping one of his girls get a scholarship to play basketball. In her two years of coaching, she didn't help any of her girls get a scholarship. I guess she didn't think they were good enough.

Good luck to the Belfry girls, work hard together!
