Team Mahurin: Welcome

Welcome all to Coach Dave Mahurin's web page.  I am currently the coach of the ROCKVILLE, INDIANA...ROX and have been the coach of  Pacesetter Select/Spiece Central AAU teams.  Please note that this is my site, and I use it as an effort to communicate with kids, parents, and fans.  While 99% of my posts never offend anyone, there have been times where content here has upset some folks.  Please read at your own risk. 

I still can't figure just where the school year went!  We're out for summer and I've already got kids working pretty hard preparing for next year.  Right now that number is small (around 10), but it's still a good start. 

Make sure all young guys understand they are welcome.  Don't be intimindated or wonder if you should be there.  Get in the gym.

I'm spending around 45 minutes each night just hitting the very basics...passing, handling, pivoting, shooting...lots and lots of footwork.  It's not hard and it's not brain surgery.  It will make us better though.

Basketball is a very easy game, but most people don't spend enough time working on the right things.  Like baseball...it's about pitching and catching.  Can you pass?  Can you catch?  Can you finish without traveling?

This summer will continue to be Basketball 101.  I will do my best to keep the schedule updated correctly here.  We're already a little dinged up so Friday is off.  KW has a bad back and Ike blocked an elbow with his face!  Both are bad ideas!

The gym is open.  All our kids are welcome.  Youth coaches or interested parents are welcome to watch as well.

I'm guessing the cost for summer hoops to be at $200 per player.  As always, I'll keep a public, running tally of each player's deposits and expenditures here so that you know who paid, where the money went, and how much more cash we need.  If there are any remaining funds at the end of the summer, I'll either apply them to next year or I'll return them.

I also need someone to step up and lead this group.  We need to finalize the schedule.  There can be no overnight or out of state trips becasue we do not board aproval for such.  However, there are all sorts of places we could play.  Everyone seems to be waiting on me to make these decisions.  I usually have players doing that.

Sorry...I tried but scheduling open gym right now just isn't working out.  If you're interesting in playing, let me know.  I'll make sure you get contacted.  We've opened the gym on my rainy days.  If things continue the way they've been going, that's working perfectly.

2013 FS the Magazine All Star Saturday

RULES:

Three point shootout preliminaries:

1.) Each participant will have 15 shots, 5 from each wing and 5 from the top of the key. Each shot will count for one point with the exception of the final ball (money ball) on each rack that will count for two points, for a maximum of 18 possible points.

2.) Each player will have 40 seconds to take their 15 shots

3.) The top three boys and top three girls will advance to the three point shootout finals to be held at halftime of the all-star game opposite of the one they are playing in (ties to determine the top three will be broken by a 5 ball rack from the top of the key with each of these balls counting for one point).

4.) Any all-star who cannot arrive in time for the prelims due to a work or spring sport conflict will be allowed to shoot at a later time but must shoot their way into the finals, they will not automatically be advanced.

Three point shootout finals

1.) Each finalist with have 25 shots, 5 from each corner, 5 from each wing, and 5 from the top of the key. Each shot will count for one point with the exception of the final ball (money ball) on each rack that will count for two points, for a maximum of 30 points.

2.) Each finalist will have 60 seconds to take their 25 shots.

3.) Ties in the finals will be broken by a 5 ball rack from the top of the key with each shot counting for one point. This will be done until there is one boy and one girl champion.

Slam Dunk Contest

1.) There will be five judges awarding points on each dunk.

2.) Dunks will be scored 1-10 by each judge for a maximum high score on any dunk of 50.

3.) Each participant will be awarded one dunk per round and will have 60 seconds to complete their dunk, dunks may be missed during that 60 seconds but a completed dunk must be done within that time to count for that round.

4.) There will be three rounds for a total possible point total of 150.

5.) Dunker with the highest number of points out of 150 will be crowned champion.

All Star Game Rules

1.) There will be four 8 minute quarters in each game.

2.) Halftimes will be no less than 10 minutes but will probably run longer due to skills contest finals taking place.

3.) Coaches will have three, one minute time-outs each game to use at their discretion.

4.) Duplicate jersey numbers will be allowed amongst players on the same team to allow players to wear their own high school jersey number one final time.

5.) The official scorer and I will devise a way to keep duplicate fouls and scoring separate amongst players wearing the same number on the same team.

6.) The “North” teams will wear their white high school uniforms (NORTH PLAYERS PLEASE BRING YOUR WHITE HIGH SCHOOL UNIFORMS).

7.) The “South” teams will wear their dark high school uniforms (SOUTH PLAYERS PLEASE BRING YOUR DARK HIGH SCHOOL UNIFORMS).

8.) The games will be officiated by IHSAA licensed officials.

9.) All other IHSAA (Indiana High School Athletic Association) rules will apply.

10.) Any and all discrepancies will be handled between Scott Jones, the 3 game officials, and the two head coaches participating in that particular game.

11.) It is an all-star game so this should not be an issue but I understand in the heat of competition things happen. Any player receiving a technical foul will sit for the remainder of the half. A second technical will result in being removed from the game permanently.

ALL TIMES ARE INDIANA TIME

OK folks...it is time to welcome Lafayette Central Catholic to our sectionals for basketball, baseball, volleyball, and softball!  Riverton Parke's enrollment bumped them up to 2A so the IHSAA had to fill that vacancy.  The LCC squad was moved in.

This change should make our sectional one of the better sectionals in the state.  With Covington and Attica already poised to be really strong contenders for the title, moving in LCC (pound for pound the best athletic program in the state) just makes sectional more competitive.

There's lots of irony involved in the change.  We've been the evil empire around here for so long that I'm not sure how we'll react if other schools cheer for us.  It will be like Darth Vader vs the Sith Lord if we play each other!  More irony is that had we beaten them this year and won the regional, we could have bumped to 2A!  Eveything happens for a reason! 

Best wishes to the Panthers as they head to a new sectional along with South Vermillion.  Welcome to LCC!  The biggest winners here should be the fans as some life just got pumped into our sectional!
