Beyond the Box Score with Aquinas coach Patrick Green

Aquinas closed Tuesday's road game against Augusta Christian with a 19-8 run to earn a 67-56 win and improve to 1-2 for the season. The spurt started when Tahj Vines broke a 48-48 tie with 6:49 remaining with a corner three on a feed from Patrick Green II. During the rest of the run Green would put in two layups of his own (one shown below). Then Cam Parada and Justin Lloyd finished a lefty layup each. And the sprint ended when Vines threw in a “heat check” type three pointer with the Fighting Irish ahead 59-52 with 1:50 remaining in the game.

The win was the first of the season for Aquinas after three tries, four if you count a preseason contest against Lakeside. After a nail biter in that preseason game, the Fighting Irish took were thumped by Thomson Saturday and Glenn Hills Monday before rallying Tuesday night. It struck me that the team's fourth quarter run was propelled by a noticeable dose of teamwork, chemistry and energy, which was impressive for a young team which could have been reeling after a couple lopsided losses in the days prior.

The morning after the win, I asked second year head coach Patrick Green about the team's unselfish play, and about how the team's chemistry has developed, and whether the bond between the players is something that has progressed throughout the first few games of the season, or if it has always been present. Coach Green's thoughtful reply addresses the question about teamwork, and it describes the core principles he teaches his: the value of playing hard, playing together and playing with discipline.

Aquinas Head Coach Patrick Green:

In reference to chemistry, those guys are constantly in the gym together. They’re always pushing each other. We drive off the proverb of “iron sharpens iron”, so they understand to grow they have to be challenged and challenge each other. And even off the court, they enjoy being around each other. It’s great to see the bond they have and to watch it grow the more battles they go through together.

I appreciate hearing that (my saying the Aquinas's teamwork was evident). I think two of the greatest compliments you can hear about your team is that they play hard and play together. The other being that they play with discipline.

We talk endlessly about the benefits of playing as a unit as opposed to five individual parts. Starting defensively and carrying over to offense. Teamwork is huge for us, particularly in that we’re often out-sized to some degree, and even if we weren’t, it’d still be critical.

In that fourth quarter, those principles were on full display. We knew Augusta Christian was tough and well coached and that we’d have to be at our best to beat them. I’m proud that we locked in defensively in that quarter and on offense found the best shot, make or miss.

We’ve got a young team overall - the pass play you mentioned was from sophomore to sophomore. In fact, during that 4th run, we had three sophomores (Patrick Green II, Tahj Vines, and Justin Lloyd), a freshman (Camden Parada), and a junior (Jacquez Merriweather) on the floor. All those guys made huge plays for us. So, a young team, a talented group of guys and they’ve always been unselfish, but in our first two losses to Thomson and Glenn Hills, we weren’t always very patient. And we paid miserably for it.

We came out more patient against AC, still aggressive, but disciplined. We of course got several big buckets from our senior sharpshooter Alex Cosper in the opening half.

I think that run to end the game illustrated for them how good they can be when they play with aggression coupled with patience and trust. And ultimately, they had a determination to do all the little things that might not show in the box score to win that game.

(Chad: Here's an example of sophomore Justin Lloyd making a fundamentally sound play that doesn't appear in the box score but helped Aquinas earn Tuesday's win. Lloyd boxes out AC's Luke Wilson, who has about a 12 inch height advantage over Lloyd, drawing a foul and gaining his team possession of the ball during Aquinas's run.)

 

We were in the same position heading into the 4th just the night before against Glenn Hills. And we didn’t make the best decisions. Didn’t play as one unit. Great learning opportunity though.

That’s one of the things you miss from the summer, the opportunity for these guys to play together and learn in the battle some of the things they’re having to learn early in the season.

Tonight though, is the kind of night these guys are more than capable of. They worked extremely hard in the off-season on their own and really pull for one another. They know, as we constantly discuss, that we’ll have ups and downs throughout the season but the one constant has to be our commitment to the team in our effort and our attitude.

About Grovetown sophomore Malik Ferguson's performance so far and how his humility and work ethic can be instructive for other "young guns"

6'4" Sophomore G Malik Ferguson (#1) - Grovetown

In Saturday’s 88-76 season opening win over Greenbrier, sophomore Malik Ferguson scored 20 points, making 12 of 14 free throw attempts, to help lead Grovetown to a commanding win on the road after falling behind by 13 points in the first quarter.

Whether during Saturday’s game or in Grovetown’s preseason game at Richmond, Ferguson, a 6’4” guard, has played outstanding basketball so far this season. He has shown a nice shooting touching, an eagerness to distribute the ball and set teammates up for easy buckets, and a determination to change the game on defense and on the glass.

Ferguson saw time as a freshman last season. And the big guard’s talent has been apparent at least since his eighth grade campaign at Grovetown Middle. But this season his skills seem to have catapulted to a different level, and he is playing with a kind of sharpness, enthusiasm and energy that has distinguished himself from almost everybody I’ve seen play during the preseason and the opening weekend of the regular season.

In the interview below, Grovetown head coach Darren Douglas describes what he thinks is behind Ferguson’s progress. Douglas’s assessment should serve as advice and wisdom for the “young stars” across the area who have been fortunate and talented enough to make an impact for their varsity teams early in the season. For example, in our recent postings of the box scores from area games, I counted four freshmen (Derrion Reid - Grovetown, Khaleel Pratt - Greenbrier, Lavonta Ivery - Thomson and Lemar Edmond - Harlem) who have scored in double figures for their teams. 

All of them can benefit themselves by heeding Douglas’s wisdom about getting to play a lot at an early age not being beneficial if a player doesn’t have the work ethic to go with his talent, and the self awareness to know that no matter how far ahead of his peers he might be early on, the long term winners are always going to be the hardest workers, and those who are most eager to learn from their mistakes, and, sometimes, those who are willing to sit down, observe where they stand, and set out to improve every day so when the next season comes, people will talk about how much they’ve improved. Like Malik did last year. But let's let Coach Douglas take it from here:

Grovetown head coach Darren Douglas about Malik Ferguson's progress

Chad

I’ve heard people say “effort is a skill.” Do you have any players who give more effort than Malik Ferguson? What did you think about his performance Saturday night, and I suppose specifically in the third quarter, when he seemed to almost take over the game on both sides of the court?

Darren

We definitely teach and track effort and competitiveness here and I think that’s what kinda helped us keep the pressure up in the third. Malik was phenomenal tonight, he was all over the floor defensively, he got to the front of the rim at will and he just had a big stretch in the 3rd where he gave “Warrior Effort”.

Chad

It seems like he has made a giant leap forward since last season. What is your opinion about his progress? And what do you think it should be attributed to?

Darren

He has made a huge leap, I think more than anything not playing as much last year until towards the end of the season nudged him in the direction of getting a routine of hard work daily. It’s pretty cool to see it pay off for him.

So many kids want to be “the man” early because of pressure from parents, friends, social media etc. that a lot of kids miss out on the lessons that can push them towards success long term. Sometimes you need to sit and realize the world doesn’t revolve around you.

Kids think playing a lot early has this huge impact in going to college and it does, but only if you have the work ethic already when you are playing that early. A lot of kids’ progression as players and people is stunted because they get it early and never learn to work for it. Anything worth having takes work.

Chad

By “playing early” you mean getting a lot of playing time on varsity as a freshman, for example. Or being the guy everybody’s talking about when you’re a 14u AAU star. That kind of thing, right?

Darren

Yeah. Just getting it without ever really earning it. A lot of kids play early and I think it hurts them. Because they just kinda tread water for 4 years not showing super improvement between the years, just get a little stronger but nothing else really to it.

Malik is a completely different player and if you ask him I’ll bet he will tell you that being humbled last year was the best thing for him as a player and a person. A lot of kids miss that. Now you have a few every year that leave and go to school and end up moving up to a D1, but if they had that work ethic earlier that they (later) found by going Juco, you would see this place become a recruiting stop every year.

Self awareness is a skill.

Chad

Learning to use that skill to his advantage has helped Malik immensely. I hope as many young guns as possible will learn that same skill and use it well, too.
