I am a Lady Ragin Cajun Basketball Fan, and I want to support the team and be positive, not a fan that just likes us we win, and points fingers when we lose. That being said, I still feel a few points need to be brought to attention, since our Coach reads this forum.
I think Coach Hall should take some ownership in this loss, he is the Co-Head Coach right ? This was his comment:
"We've never given up that many points (55) in a half," said Cajun coach J. Kelley Hall. "That's not acceptable. That's giving up."
To me, he's implying that our girls gave up and not him. Then there was this quote:
"We don't have the depth to play like that against a team like that in this environment," Hall said.
Don't have the Depth ??? Miller only had 8min, Boudreaux had 1min, Ratliff did have 17min, but we had two fresh Guards that can shoot 3's that Didn't Even Get into the Game!!! If your team is giving up on you, you quit coaching, and you don't use your bench, because you just don't have enough depth ??? If you don't try and use your bench, I guess you don't have any depth.
I can accept this disappointing loss, and his unusual approach of using players, but don't blame the girls or our depth without taking some responsibilty that Coaching could have done some things different, and tried everything possible before pointing the finger at our team. They have proved that they can win big games already.
