We did have a 17 pt lead in the 1st half and I thought we were on our way to a blowout. But we either eased off with the lead or we didn’t have the right combos out there. But that’s one of the reasons for exhibitions-trying different combinations.
I was also extremely disappointed but we’ll see if we bounce back with a much better game Monday. I am concerned that we will lose a number of non-con games before we get Garcia and Amadi back.

Exhibitions are to be taken with a grain of salt. He might have went in at half time and told them to let the other team come back because he wanted to play a scenario where he wanted to see how we responded to a close game going to end of game. You never know. It could be he was looking for certain aspects of a game and didnt want to do inside out because it was something else he was trying to see. You just never know. Exhibition games are not about winning, they are about trying to see where we could be weak, where we can improve, try new things, give those who might be rusty more minutes, give freshmen minutes....a whole bunch of things. It just isnt about winning.

What is rude vs not rude? Dave is pretty nice to his peeps. How much actual competitive sports has your daughter played? I like Dave personally and get along with him very well as an official. He is a cynical ass, which I find hilarious. There is a big difference between making fun of 17-year-old boys' dumb decision-making and saying girls are incapable of anything at all, like Joao did. He is the best coach Owasso has had. Owasso has some talent now, which does help, too, and they lost in the semis this year.


As for the Brazilian homey Joao, he said to his girls they are incapable of doing anything and entirely worthless. Screw that. Again, there is a big difference between listening to me and making fun of them doing silly things, telling them they are idiots for coaching and saying they should never do it because women are incapable of coaching. It's intolerable.

I told my wife about the Joao incident, and another person said to me about it last night at practice without prompting me, so it is making the rounds. My wife and I agreed we would walk out on a team like that regardless of how good the team was and how good we thought he was making our daughter technically. You got to stand for something.

It is surprising that we'd have the same number of rebounds and points in paint as a D2 team unless that was a data reporting issue. Hopefully we'll be more locked in when they count.

Yes we only had two 6’10 guys available last night (Reed and Smikle). We need the other two bigs back (Garcia 6’9 and Amadi 6’8).

I was there and have no idea what to make of it. Like I said it is always good to have a successful comeback. But a D1 team should beat a D2 team handily and our rebounding was poor. We are also a small team. Basically everyone is a guard or SF except two guys among those who played yesterday.

He was an assistant at Jenks for 10 years (2007-2017) before taking over at Bixby (2018-2021) and he moved to Owasso as the boys head coach in 2022. Which tracks because my interaction with him in HS came at Bixby in 2021 when my son was a FR at Union. So the game my daughter was on where he was coaching an NEOFC team on Sunday, the center ref was a former player of his at Jenks. Former player didn't like him then for the same reason I mentioned above.

Not gonna lie, this game has Konkol Year 1 vibes. Looking forward to being pleasantly surprised.
