What's this?

Coaching your kid

I've seen it go both ways - playing favoritism or being too hard on one's kid. I've been in that position and was probably too hard, expected too much, from my son. I had an assistant coach tell me to "lighten up" on my kid. I had to back off and stop being so critical and continuing to coach him off the field. Not sure of the situation with WBB, but I do know it is difficult to strike a balance. It may take an assistant coach stepping in to offer a reality check.

Where are the guards -- Ballislife 01/19/2019 08:44AM

Oof... those stats say she probably shouldn't be starting but I know -- AbsolutVT03 01/11/2019 3:57PM

In her defense, she actually made several good defensive plays -- dallasvt 01/11/2019 2:31PM

Shouldn't the talent level be higher by now? -- Atlee Hokie 01/11/2019 2:40PM

Mass exodus of quality guards???? -- Ballislife 01/19/2019 08:22AM

They do no have a lot of depth. I would love to know why Jones left. -- dallasvt 01/11/2019 2:50PM

There is another daughter, true freshman, who is red shirting. ** -- Atlee Hokie 01/11/2019 4:43PM

If Brooks is favoring his daughter over obviously better players ... -- Atlee Hokie 01/11/2019 2:55PM

Has Kenny recruited anybody better than her? -- Jethro Tull 01/11/2019 2:25PM

01/11/2019 1:40PM

Correct: She’s attempted 9 two pointers in 16 games this year -- hokiepro 01/11/2019 1:43PM

Best 5 players are: Emery, Magarity, Baptiste, Mabry, Sheppard/Camp -- hokiepro 01/11/2019 1:27PM

Might he have had better players that ran off by playing favorites? ** -- NokieHokie 01/11/2019 1:23PM

Shaniya Jones ABSOLUTELY -- hokiepro 01/11/2019 1:31PM

Jones departure.... -- Ballislife 01/19/2019 09:43AM

Jones didn’t do so hot in the games that I saw that she played in. ** -- RJHokie 01/19/2019 10:38AM

Jones departure -- Ballislife 01/19/2019 4:45PM

This is not about Kendyl. Just saying -- RJHokie 01/19/2019 6:34PM

RJ, you and I both attend the WBB games. And, I agree with your -- saret 01/19/2019 11:32AM

This is true regarding Kendyl....she is mostly one dimensional in her play -- RJHokie 01/19/2019 12:07PM

Excellent intel, as usual. ** -- saret 01/19/2019 2:13PM

Does an AD micromanage offers? ** -- hokeyhokie 01/11/2019 10:45AM

Just my supposition. Nothing more. -- Femoyer Hokie 01/11/2019 10:55AM

I wasn't aware college coaches needed AD ok to make an offer -- hokeyhokie 01/11/2019 11:04AM

Umm you don't think it's a conflict of interest and a good idea to run it -- NokieHokie 01/11/2019 1:19PM

I would like to think that Coach sought Whit’s OK to offer his DAUGHTERS. -- Femoyer Hokie 01/11/2019 11:09AM

If he did, Whit should have know better. -- Atlee Hokie 01/11/2019 10:41AM
