I think losing to west fargo on your home floor can be considered a "big game" and they had leads at half-time of both those games and Minot gave it to them and Minot is not very good by their record since beating RR. I did not know anyone was injured? Battle was back and everyone on their roster was dressed and played...Who is not healthy?
And with the offnses they run, they will be hard pressed to shoot beter from outside, they run an offense where you need to beat your guy off dribble and everyone else just stands around. i did not see them at EDC, I did see them at state. They beat Devils lake and who and lost to wapheton in edc championship...then got schooled twice at state. I saw lots of talent, but i did not see a good plan on how to use that talent or any emphasis at all on defense. They have several offensive plays already and no defense.
I just thought they did not look very good and if they are supposed to be the "best" backcourt in the state they better wake up and play some defense. I hope they play better.
Maybe they just needed a snowstorm to wake them up?

RR does not play team ball and that should start with the coach controlling who shoots and how much they shoot. Just because a player can get a shot off, that doesn't mean that they should or that that is the best shot the team can get. Alot of the shots come at the beginning of the shot clock, not after they have run the offense for awhile. We will see if the coach has the team playing better team ball and if schreiner wants the team to win or if he is only worried about his stats.
ndsportszone wrote:Schreiner only cares about his stats. Case in point, last years state he was i think 16 - 55 and he shot almost every time he got the ball even thou he was not making them. As far as your case in point, that is what I'm talking about, he shoots the ball too much and does not get the team involved like he should. Look at Hanstad and Savageau they get their teammates involved in the game by passing first and shooting second....they make their teams better by playing team ball.

Anyway my point is that in order for RR to beat the good teams, they will need to play team ball and not allow 1 guy to shoot the majority of the shots. If they do and that individual is not shooting well, they will not beat most of the good teams.
And you are right I only saw Hanstad play against RR last year at state and he did a nice job passing and not forcing his shots.
ndsportszone wrote:As for being the leader in active players, I would hope so since he has been on varsity for 4 years. Schreiner has the ball in his hands the most and should have the most assists by far.
As far as the one game you keep referring to he did score 39 points and took the majority of the shots, thus not getting the other players into the game and allowing them to contribute. As far as I know 1 doesn't beat 5 in basketball.
And like in state and many other games I have personally watched when he is allowed to shot that many times, RR usually doesn't win.
You seem to think you know alot about RR basketball, how many games have you watched in person?
bbjunkie wrote:maybe the question about why doesn't sit on the bench is a coaching question? Last year, he averaged like 33 minutes a game..and Nik was averaging 22....I think Luke has been part of a system that "creates a star" and the coach loses all control over the team. That is what I saw at state last year and when I saw RR play bemidji, when bemidji got up 7 points in last 2 minutes. the coach sat down and gave up on his team. It was sad.
It appears that RR coaches don't really have control and don't have a lot of dscipline within their team and that is a refelction of the coaches.
