Saw something I've never seen before. After 30 seconds of being in locker room at halftime, Upper's coach walks out on team and stands in front of their bench for remaining halftime while team remained. From my vantage point there seems to be very little positive energy surrounding the Rams. It wasn't 30 seconds. He came out with a little over 4 minutes left on the halftime clock.

I don't have a dog in this fight, but neither of you are totally correct. He actually stood outside the locker room in the hallway and then walked back into the gym with 7:35 left on the halftime clock. I could see the Rams locker room area. He may have went in briefly. When I saw him walk in, I looked straight up at the clock.

Did a HUDL film continue rolling during halftime?

Did they play better in the second half? Mohawk led 28-25 at halftime. Mohawk opened 3rd quarter with 7-0 run for 35-25 advantage.
Mohawk led 53-46 with 5:27 remaining in 4th quarter. US cut it to 57-55 with 1:11 remaining. DCU's Andrew Wilson (among a few others) had good in-game tweets.

Sometimes a short, pointed halftime speech is what a team needs, and then leave them to talk themselves. This may have been that effort.

Dude, I agree. My post wasn't meant to defend one over another. Just wanted to clarify. Sometimes youngsters do need to figure out out on their own.

I remember once my old coach came into locker room after a sub par effort in 1st half against a inferior team and didn’t say one word. He just looked around room and made eye contact with each and every player then walked out. We turned a halftime deficit into a 20 point win. Sometimes that’s all it takes.

Had similar experience and final result, but the coach punched a locker before leaving!

I do not see Mohawk as an inferior team and it sounds like your coach was a psycho. Neither are similar to this occurrence. I wonder if Winslow stuck around and shook hands after the loss?

There you go again. You area terrible at reading. Never said mohawk an inferior team. Are you clueless? Seriously get off the drugs dude. Mohawk undefeated and class of the n10. Just shared an experience of mine that is similar to winslow last nite if what has been posted is true. Your hatred for cc precedes you. And my coach was far from a psycho but it takes one to know one. 🤝

Poor choice of words on my part. Should have said what seemed like 30 seconds. Anyways, Mohawk's 2-3 zone seemed to give Upper fits offensively. Be interesting to see if more teams use that approach.

The legendary John Wooden used to sit on the bench with his rolled up program and watch the game. He didn’t need to coach much during the game. His players were prepared and according to him, they knew what to do. My point is this, coaches use different techniques at different times. To insinuate anything else , like poor coaching , without being with the team all through their journey would be a big mistake.

Three all N10 1st team football players in that lineup that beat the mostly basketball only players for Upper. Impressive!

Upper looked out of sorts all night. Gave up a couple uncontested baskets on out of bounds plays. Too much talent on that team for those things to happen. A lot can be said for simply playing with effort. Credit to Mohawk.

“Credit” to Mohawk’s coach. He does a great job with that team!

Half way through the league schedule now. And two team race for league title currently. After Mohawks win Thursday night I give the nod to them. Upper C.C rematch this week and should be a good one over at C.C.
Most improved team this year so far looks like Ridgedale better but still not great. My vote for POY so far would go to Hayman from Mohawk.
Looking forward to some great basketball in the next couple of weeks and seeing how well a couple of these teams fair inte tournaments.

Agree with you on Hayman from Mohawk as POY. Having a great year thus far. I’d put Crall right behind him, it’s too bad for Crall he hasn’t had a lot of help thus far but i feel wynford will pull some upsets off in 2nd half of year. I think the n10 could do well again this year come tournament time and possibly get 3 teams into regionals.

My royals are actually in my opinion improving. Had two very good showings vs Upper & Willard. Love to see them get a few consecutive win streaks the second half of the season. Hope they can play as well vs the middle/bottom teams as they have vs the top tier teams.

Upper committed only 6 turnovers to CC's 13 and was a perfect 10 of 10 from the FT line, whereas CC was only 5 of 13. Yet Upper lost by 1 because it can't make shots right now. Take away the blowout to Lexington and the other 3 losses were by a combined 4 points.

Tonight's loss had to do with more than missing shots!

Saw the highlight(poor word choice) where the Upper transfer had a shot late to help get the dub and missed it.

In my opinion Upper needs to make some changes. Question is will they?
