If they don't make it through to the State Tourney this year, one will only need to look at the coach as the reason.
I would say people need to look at what the coach is doing as well. He was able to keep 2 power conference recruits on a high school basketball team in Enderlin, North Dakota, when those type of players are commonly leaving their hometown after their sophomore or junior season. Good job Coach Kraft in creating a challenging schedule and environment where top level players still feel they can grow without needing to transfer to a bigger market.
Are you their agent or trying to be, my god stop putting them on a pedestal, they are good ball players in North Dakota, congrats to Joe though for the record!!! The Dixon kid signed with Lake region, no one brings that up, potentially 4 kids could play college ball, ya so its the coaches fault!!!!!! Its called learning to play with your team mates and stop worrying about college, these are the years they are going to remember not college, win or lose!!!!!!!!!!!
I am not their agent, nor am I trying to be. I do take issue with people taking shots, however subtle, at a coach who has won almost every game his team has played in North Dakota.
I do not think I put anyone on a pedestal in my post. I made an observation that Coach Kraft was able to keep 2 power conference recruits on a high school team in Enderlin, North Dakota. I think it is impressive that he was able to do that.
Why is it the fault of the coach if his team loses a game, but not the fault of the coach is his team wins a game? I do not understand this at all. My interpretation of the comment that I quoted is that if the team wins, it is because the players are good, but if the team loses, it is because the coach is not doing a good job. That seems a bit unfair to me.
I do not understand the comment about worrying about college.
Alijah Dixson signed 2 days ago. It is not shocking that was not mentioned on this forum. Gus Hurlburt made his college announcement 6 days ago. I did not notice that was mentioned on this forum, but it could have been.
