Logan had one of their best seasons in recent years and throughout the entire year the "Experts" said nothing about how well they played. Logan lost some close games but competed in every game they played with the exception of Unioto. Yet the "Experts" never praised never said anything positive because how could they? That would go against everything this entire thread was started for. Logan has progressively gotten better the last three years each year, they have shown improvement on the court and at the lower levels from top to bottom. That's called developing a program. The 8th grade class went 25-0 in 2 years, the freshman class now have a great coach to get them ready for the next level, and the entire staff is solid and sound. Logan had on the on court issues with a kid who averaged 20/10 every single game. You tell me, if you, as a coach, had a kid who averaged 20 points and 10 rebounds on the court, how would you handle the "issues?" Because two of the issues were bogus. He yelled in excitement after a dunk at nobody and they T'ed him up. He yelled "AND 1!" after a foul and they T'ed him up. The Warren game was the only real issue but when the student section is on the floor the whole game, that whole situation could of been avoided had the officials took control early on in the game. But if the "big kid" was the cancer, the cancer is graduating. Logan has three quality starters back and another big post player who played quite a bit this past year. So 4 kids who can play well and play well together, with a lot of younger talent on the way.

which one?? pat and greg are both red headed. why wouldnt we go outside the system and get someone with no ties to logan?
getting rid of just helber is not changing anything. the mentality of the coaching staff has to change. if your star player is kill your team he not your star player. and pulling kids up to play jv and varsity from the freshmen team isnt helping anyone!THEY ARENT LEBRON JAMESES. THEY ARENT GOING TO HELP THE TEAM WIN ANYTHING SO STOP DOING IT!! let them develop with kids theyre age! logan has 12 other kids setting or riding the bench!!! 1 jv player transfered out of logan after last season. 4 jv and varsity were thinking about quitting mid-season this yr. next yr as many as 6 from this season jv team are most likely not playing...... or not playing for logan........ hint traveling to coach Blevins.
HELLO McFLY!!!! THERE IS A PROBLEM!!!
Sounds like the problem is less talented upper classmen can't handle being passed over by freshmen. They clearly aren't mentally tough and I'm sure Logan will be fine without them.
I agree with this so much. The bottom line is either work harder to play more or accept your roll as a roll player and help the team. If not as Coach Rich Bell used to say "There's the door." As for the kids who choose not to stay, whether it is Helber or any other coach, I am sure they would all agree they aren't going to BEG any kid to stay or play if they choose not to. They have many many kids who believe in what they are trying to do and believe in the system.
Judas Priest how about letting the staff and the team enjoy the run they had before you start claiming its "Time for a Change" AGAIN!?!?

I don't really understand what you are getting at. You acknowledge the success, but you feel the coach should be replaced anyway?
The results this year didn't mean anything because you just don't like the coach (so it was never really about results) or you just don't believe that the coach was responsible for the success? Or something else?
Its always something else. It will always be something else.
