Seems to me that he doesn't know how to utilize his own talent (which he has been blessed with for years now) It takes a team to win, but sometimes you gotta rely on your studs to take you the extra distance. I'll use this dynamic (Although I'm not directly comparing Napolean to Ellendale players) to illustrate my point. You know when Napolean comes at you that Sheridan, Jangula, and that point guard(can't remember name) are going to get their points. This is Nap's identity and they still manage to play great team ball. Ellendale has NO identity. There studs who, IMO, are/will be for the next two years, Bommersbach and Mertz. These two have been averaging maybe 8 shot attempts since Ellendale got into this funk toward the end of the season. I'm not saying they should be ball hogs, but they are the scorers and they need the ball in their hands and they need to put up those double figure shot attempts night in and night out if Ellendale wants to go far in the next couple years. If they do this, they will draw extra attention from defenders (like Sheridan and crew do) and then they can pass to the "role" players for the open buckets. This has got to be their identity if they want to win. I've seen too many "good" teams slip through Ellendale's fingers in the last couple years and this is my plea. You have to let your talent shine in big moments. It's about team ball, but it's also about knowing your role on the team. Herman and Fuller play great defense and Hack plays decent in the low post, but their roles should be primarily defense and hitting open shots off a pass from Mertz or Bommersbach. We'll see what next year brings us for Ellendale, but if this isn't done than we'll see another one and done at the region for Ellendale.
Is this a slam at Coach Herman? No. This is constructive criticism and me as a fan calling it like I see it. He may have all those district coach of the year awards and a couple district championships, but I'd take a trip to state for that any day. District 5 is weak. Ellendale has had more talent over the last couple year. They haven't won because of superb coaching. They've won mostly on talent alone. The coaching needs to come through for them to make it far in regionals. My advice, ride those studs into the postseason and give this team some identity!

Sounds like you need to get into coaching.
