Coach, It breaks my heart to hear the news of the tragedies you are dealing with in your @central_prairie basketball family. My thoughts and prayers are with you, your staff, your players and all the Fairbury community🙏🏽

[Mike Ellis @CoachMikeEllis]

That is part of the equation as to why we use an iPad for drawing up plays on the bench now. I can't afford to lose my cool with that😌

[Chris D'Amato @coachdamato33]

@CoachMikeEllis

[Mike Ellis @CoachMikeEllis]

Despite this spectacular save w/ the shot clock winding down⏳by the GBS keeper, congrats to our Frosh/Soph @ETHS_GWP on their 6-4 win. Shout-out to the perfect shot clock reset by the shot clock operator. Wonder why the same excuses for HS 🏀 shot clock, don't apply to HS 🏈🤽🏽

[Mike Ellis @CoachMikeEllis]

Congrats to @ETHShoops all-time leading scorer @ballerblake34 for his 15-seed @PrincetonMBB upset win over the 2-seed. But I'm confused🤷🏽 Can sum1 explain how this happened w/a shot clock? I've been told that hinders the under 🐶🤷🏽
@bballwoods23 @YoungBBCoach @CoachMMonroe

[Mike Ellis @CoachMikeEllis]

In honor of #StPatricksDay2023 it's fair to say I am green with envy☘️ of all the other states that have approved the shot clock for their state's HS Basketball. I am sure their student-athletes appreciate this @NFHS_Org approved adoption⏳

[Tyrone Slaughter @YoungBBCoach]

Tennessee will have the shot-clock before Illinois 😡it’s a-shame seeing we’ve been talking about it for 3 years now, @IHSA_IL @michaelsobrien @bballwoods23 @CoachMikeEllis @CoachMMonroe https://t.co/WzY4QEsX1x

[Mike Ellis @CoachMikeEllis]

Basketball is never going to be played perfectly by any team. There are bad shots and 1 v 1 shots taken in today's game w/o a shot clock. That's never going to go away. The question is, which is worse for the game... 4-6 bad shots/game, or 4-6 minutes of no shots/game?

[Prairie Central Hawks Boys Basketball @central_prairie]

@dking022 @CoachMikeEllis Not all HS teams will run great sets. Very few HS teams have more than 1 or 2 good shooters so you will see packed in mans and zones with emphasis on just the shooters. IMO It has potential to be ugly basketball. I could be wrong, but once it’s implemented it’s not going away

[Mike Ellis @CoachMikeEllis]

No. It's the exact opposite. The shot clock would be appreciated by the 97% of the players that will not go on to play at the next level. Why should they be deprived of the experience to play basketball instead of keep away, for the full 32 minutes? The @NFHS_Org also agrees.

[Prairie Central Hawks Boys Basketball @central_prairie]

@coachfano @CoachMikeEllis So you want a shot clock to help prepare the 3% of players that play at the next level? So then if HS has it, shouldn’t Jr High have it? Where do you want to stop this at? AAU should have it, but that wouldn’t matter as most of those teams don’t pass the ball much anyway.

[Mike Ellis @CoachMikeEllis]

The game is for the players, not for coaches, not administrators, or not those that don't wish to grow the game. Would love to see a survey from every Class A school to Class 4A school, asking their players if they want a shot clock in @IHSA_IL Basketball.

[Prairie Central Hawks Boys Basketball @central_prairie]

@CoachMikeEllis why push this on all teams? Many teams don’t have players that can create their own shot. Unless you let every HS team recruit who they want/need to play this type of ball, then it’s unfair to force them to play a certain way. Small school have to play with what they have.

[Mike Ellis @CoachMikeEllis]

[Ryan Parker @RPark86]

@CoachMikeEllis Coach we played Christmas tourney in Taylorville. 35 seconds is an eternity to get a good look, sets a great pace to the game, and takes 4 corners out of play. It’s a no brainer in my opinion to get done asap. I don’t fault any coach who uses ball control but it’s not hoops
