| Do you think Sibbitt did a better job of coaching in '05 than in '04? .do you think he can become a coach in a few years, or are we wasting our time. he definetly had more talent in '05 than in '04. and in both seasons he didn't know how to use it.this past season was more of a waste than the '04 team, just becouse of the talent avaliable to him.he did have more wins this past year than in '04, but with a team of juniors and seniors he should have.I don't think he will ever be anywhere close to as good of a coach as brown, but was just wondering do you think he is getting better?

To me it's like a NBA team or your first College recruiting class as in your first few years maybe ruough but as the system gets in place you will see improvement I just think he has to use the fist (or 5 man motion) on offense and play aggressive hard nose defense on the defensive side nowhere near Brown but Coach Brown is probably the best caoch in our area of the state anyway I say this next year if he doesn't come close to a winning record I think it's all for not.

Didn't know where to put this reply so I guess this is better than any.
Anyway A thought came across my mind of how the Rams struggled the past few years and one that came across my mind was when the final starung 5 was set other teams had already had their starting 5 in place for months I think Joe has to this summer get his starting 5 in order to get some chemistry together also if I was him I wouldn't put off the fact of using Grrett as a combo guard (as in handles the ball until the half court) something Cole and DSeacat wouuld do during 1999-2000 and Seacat would kinda keep doimng until he graduated.
Until next time.

| first of all joe has no idea how to make a starting five. who in the world would have picked the one he did, not to kick the kids who started last year, but there place was coming of the bench to give a spark, not one of the best 5 on the team. one starter, and i am not going to say who, i didn't even think would make the team. for a good satrting five you need 5 men who are the best on the team at what they do. an assist man at point, not your best scorer.you could say that we didn't have anyone else to get the ball up the floor, well we didn't, becouse joe never developed anyone. we could have lost some of the same games in november, and december. and could have been bringing in a pedigo, hutslar, smith, harkness, or warren, by march they could have played the point. you need another scorer, nobody can win with just one man shooting. joes teams when he played didn't.hutslar could have played this role very well. you need a 4 man, not another guard. one who can get you the rebounds night in and night out.weikert should have had the 4 spot. that could have loosened up emerick to bang.i just hope joe learned a little bit last year, and a whole bunch more this summer. this team needs a coach, not an assistant superentident.

| I'm not saying this to start controversy or anything and this is nothing against Mike Brown personally.This has been a pet peeve of mine for years.The thing that upsets me is high school coaches that go to a school and coach there as long as there's talent but when the talent runs dry they move on somewhere else or "retire" to spend more time with their families.I think Brown should have stayed a few more years until the program was built back up a bit and then turned it over to someone else.Or he should have stepped down sooner and handed the next coach some talent.Like I said it's not just Brown it's almost every high school basketball coach.I live in Jeff and Broughton is another good example.He stayed as long as he had all stater after all stater but as soon as he saw that the talent was about to dry up he took off for Nebraska.These are two examples but I can think of alot more.

| Bob,
The talent didn't run dry, last years seniors didn't have a losing record until varsity, last years juniors last losing record was 5th grade.we didn't have an all stater, but we had a good scorer in hentrup, with alot of size under the basket. in my opinion brown would have taken this team far in the tourney, brown is a great coach, look at what he is doing with our girls program.he allways built for the future.and allways played the regular season to win the sectional, not to win games in november,but in march.

| I think what Bobette was trying to get at was the fact that Paoli had a run where they had classes with talent these past years Seniors in my opinion besides Kreigh didn't give two drops of monkey piss about if they won or not this past years Juniors has a team mentality but like this past year's Seniors they have ego problems hell they difference between when we were good-great we had chemistry and players knowing their roles this past year who did anything besides Kreigh to ignite anything on either side of the court?...you had spurts but not a whole game's worth of it just leave on this note this version of the Rams lack the hard ass play and hardass coach.
Until next time

| Didn't Brown have a period of time when he could have left or retired after Sibbitt's class graduated? Didn't he have a rough few years playing young players trying to rebuild? And didn't that group eventually make it to the state finals? I thought he retired early to leave Sibbitt with a good group including Eddie U. and Tyler Mckeighen instead of waiting for them to leave.

| Well about the if he had opportunities to leave or not during his first successful run Brown was the hotest Coach in Southern Indiana among High School Basketball Coaches now onto why he didn't leave?....have heard it was because he knew he would have another good stretch of Baketball beginning with Buck and Nichols grade and for about 5 years after that the question about after Sibbitt's class graduated didn't h go young?....yes and no the players he had for the 2 years after Sibbitt and Combs' class graduated he was young but a lot of the plauyers on that team played JV what made the '94-'95 and 95-96 team look so poorly was the fact that Sibbitt and Combs' class dominated their final year leaving only 2 players who basically dressed (Walls, Archer) now onto abpout if that young team was the team that went to state I say yes and no that first year 94-95 you had Buck and Nichols were starting as Freshmen the next year Luke Kimmel was playing as a Freshmen I say the 96-97 team was the team that really started things for the next handful of years because that team had Dusty,Michael, Mark Easterday, Luke Kimmel, Buck and Nichols which led into the next 2 years' success (I still think it's a great way to build a program) anyway why did he leave well noyt only because he wanted to see his son play it was the fact that he knew (and so did a lot of us) that the 2001-2002 team was the last shpt he had at making the state finals for at least 5 years.
Until next time

| Thank you for the information Shizz. I think it proves my original point, Brown didn't "jump ship" when he retired. He had gone through good talent and down years both. The Jeffersonville post said he left when the talent ran out, I don't see it that way. I agree with you, Brown had been to the finals and didn't see much chance of getting there again. Is it true that he is allowed to see all his sons' games while coaching the girls?

I meant 5 classes not 5 years from Sibbitt's graduation.
Anyway I don't know if he's allowed to or not heard rumors that he did or has in the past.
Until next time.
