Agree, should have taken his uniform and given it to the player that forgot hisart_vandelay wrote: Sat Mar 01, 2025 2:38 pmSpot-on. In this “blame the coach” era, Prater been catching strays on here all season. But let’s not sugarcoat it: behind-the-scenes bs was going on with this group all year. At some point, it’s time to start getting rid of kids. Should be a really short leash next season.wobycat wrote: Sat Mar 01, 2025 2:28 pmIf the transfer was confirmed, he would be there. Thought Burg played a well planned game. The lack of inside presence is what hurt the Pirates as it has all year round. Peake had two pivotal plays in the 4th where peakes post player had the significant advantage. Smart calls by the Peakes coach.mntnman wrote: Sat Mar 01, 2025 10:16 am Yes, congrats to Peake and good luck moving forward. From what I have heard the transfer is confirmed. As far as Burg's lineup next year, they'll be fine. They have some talent coming up in Dooer, Whit, Miller, Hansel along with 3 seniors. The problem is, with Minford and Webster losing 90% of their productivity, Prater is going to look like a basketball genius with his middle school, stand-still offense and senseless substitutions.
As to hammering on Prater, I don't think people understand how difficult it is to run a team especially when players become unfocused. I mean right before the tournament, one of his starters became severely unfocused. Yet he was able to navigate to a district runner-up. Not agreeing on style of play, I can see but a little bit of grace should be extended when off court issues are having to be dealt with.
Only thing i disagree with during tourney was playing the player last night who just created the latest distraction. My 15th man would’ve been on the floor before him if it was me. Whether he ends up leaving or not, there’s no excuse for the timing of it.*
