  1. NWHS has really improved under Coach Reavis and congratulations to the team on a successful season. For NWHS to improve and take the next step as a serious contender in NC two adjustments are needed. 1. Modify Coaching Strategy – defense is not a focal point and it shows in games like, SW, EFHS, HPC, and Reagan; the lack of a fast break and allows other teams to set up their defense, off-season strength training is a major need because players turn the ball over with minimal contact. 2. Establish Fair Standards – all players should be held accountable to the same standards when it comes to bad attitudes, cursing, pouting and not getting back on defense. If you have a turnover or miss a shot and don’t get back on defense because you are pouting you have to come out. There is no better motivator than taking a player out when they don’t follow the rules and it gives other players a chance to push the better players and as a result the team gets better and morale improves. There is nothing more toxic to a team than to have double standards when it comes to expected character traits for players.

  2. I agree with you NW Basketball! I have been surprised at some of these basketball games the immaturity of some of these players. Did they bring their pacifiers?? The worst part is that the Coaching Staff allows the babies to walk on court, much less walk back on defense. I believe a lot needs to change with this team to have a winning season. These players were more worried about who could out score the other than about the TEAM winning!

    Better Luck next year!!

  3. I totally agree with the above comments. No fastbreaks, an incredible amoumnt of turnovers by 2 or 3 players in every game I saw, and coaches way too soft on these players. After 3 or 4 turnovers or not looking for the open players that player should be benched & talked to. It hurts the team & demoralizes those players working so hard to get open for the ball. Not to mention the aforementioned poor defense by alot of the players. Why doesn’t NW press full-court in the 1st half of games. All of their competition appeared to from the 1st whistle. Alot of small changes could make for much better results next year.
