Great event last night at Sheridan. Loved watching the frenetic pace...back and forth up and down the court! The guards in Peel are lightning quick and the bigs are supremely athletic as well. It was thoroughly entertaining!
Got some sweet layup line slams and dunk-off slams coming soon as well as interviews at www.crownmagonline.com.

Whats Peels talent level compared to the other regions?

To me...Peel's talent level is up there. In fact it's very good. Got real good ball players. Like I mentioned
some really nice guards and the bigs can get it done. I think some of the Peel schools are relatively newer
compared to the other areas so they haven't had the long-standing tradition but I see them catching up.
The coaching is getting better as well. I'd like to see the Peel teams in more of the big tournaments going forward.
That way they can get a better gauge of where they're at competition and skill wise. In some instances
Peel teams tend to stay out in Peel and stay a bit "sheltered" from the better competition. The time has
come for Peel to get out and battle the traditional powers. I believe they can prove a lot of naysayers wrong!
The more attention comes to Peel the better they will get as well. There are some true hidden gems
out here from what I saw last night at the All-Star games and I for one will be out here a lot more
in the future. I see some good young players and as they continue to play against better competition
will only get better themselves.

What do you expect when you spend most of your time with Wiggins,there are many other good players around and Peel does have it share of players.Before you mention about Peel schools "stay a bit "sheltered" from the better competition" you should of taken a look around because there were a few schools that entered good tournaments and did battle with the powerhouse teams Fletchers Meadows,BCSS,DY all did good so maybe now that wiggins could be leaving you may have time to focus on other regions at times when i read your articles it started to look one sided now that the school season is finish you started to do different articles on other players which is good.For your info Peel schools have to follow rules so most of the talented players do not end up in the same school or go to schools where ever they want to unlike Toronto.

To say "The coaching is getting better as well" is a joke coaches have been doing a great job with the players they have in Peel,you have to give more credit to Peel players and especially to the coaches who lose players to Toronto because of the recruting and no set boundaries.
Now dont get me wrong you are doing a good job and i just find you need to travel a bit more to different regions if you are going to do articles on players ,teams and coaches.

mmmm...where do I start "Gunta"...thanks for all your appreciation of the work I try to do here for high school hoops although your tone is very condescending and negative.
I knew I would get some backlash when I answered the question by iball23 when he asked "Whats Peels talent level compared to the other regions? I was contemplating answering...because I knew there would be someone or some people that would criticize me. Thanks again for that.

Just wondering...why you would single out Wiggins...first of all is he not super talented? Why all the hate man? Who cares where the kids are from...I'm just here to support hoops. Do you not think the #1 squad in the Province and maybe Canada deserves extra attention...a team with a potential NBA player at that?
I wasn't knocking Peel...I was commenting on the talent and saying it's nice.

You say "there were a few schools that entered good tournaments" but did they win any? Did they make it to the finals of any of the 10 or so major tournaments? Including Henry Carr, Humber, St. Mike's etc? Did they crack the top 5 rankings etc? Were they in the quarters, semis or finals at OFSAA?
I tried to focus on all regions...in fact CROWN does a great job of covering various regions. I was out to Halton region. Durham, etc. I can't be everywhere though as much as I want to be.

We actually tried to cover the Peel Region Championships but were turned back at the door by a lady ROPSAA representative. We said we were from "CROWN" and she said no we couldnt get in as we had to have advanced tickets. We pleaded with her as a member of the media and she refused us entry to the games. What should we have done? The people running the region should be more accommodating as we're trying to promote ball and the kids.
Imagine how you would feel driving from Ajax to Mississauga or Brampton to cover ball and give kids exposure and be turned back because of beaurocratic red-tape!

So we have tried and we have full-time jobs and I work in the east end so it's hard sometimes to get out to Mississauga and Brampton during rush hour to cover games.
We can only make an effort to get to more games next year...and maybe get more correspondents from out in Peel to cover the games and write stories for us! Why don't you join our team and cover Peel to give it more shine? We'd be glad to have you on board!

I don't know what rules you are talking about...that's not my issue to deal with. Every region has rules and I'm not a convenor.

I wasn't putting down Peel coaches at all. They are doing a great job. But what Peel teams have made serious noise this season when it counts? You tell me...it's not bias...it's just the facts.

Check out CROWN's site a bit more and you'll see articles of kids from all over. We are trying the best we can and will be getting better.
I dislike all the hate and jealousy. We should be happy that there are media outlets covering high school basketball because the mainstream media doesn't care one bit!
Thanks again for the support.

Drew I wouldn't take seriously anything that people say on this forum, especially criticism without education.

As a peel supporter I appreciate you covering the game.

As for peel convenors, its not the basketball coaches giving you a hard time, the convenor and ropsaa people are a wide variety of teachers with rules that don't make sense a lot of the times,. I am sure if the final was run by basketball coacheds youd get in.

Thanks a lot for the kind words "tart11". It's a bit frustrating when people criticize while not doing anything to help the game themselves.
I didn't really want to weigh in on the topic originally but I love to stay engaged with the true fans like yourself and the rest here on this great site and Forum!
The fact that kids like Wiggins and Pangos get a lot of coverage is good for basketball in general as there's a trickle down effect onto GTA basketball players in general. The more players do things from the GTA, then all deserving players get shine! Everyone wants shine without earning it.
The scouts are looking to Canada now because they're producing good players. In fact the GTA has always produced great hoops. It's just now they're not just role players, they are serious contributors whether at the prep level or the NCAA level.

I really enjoyed the game. In fact I missed most of the Top40 game and saw some nice talent there as well!

Rest assured we will be out there more and more in the future.

Oh, I know it's not the coaches that are holding the sport back. The coaches have been amazing to us! They put in so much of their own time for the kids.

It's the heirarchy that to me don't seem like they care about the kids enough. I agree that those higher level people need to straighten up! The convenors and ROPSAA people should consult with the coaches and work together to move the sport forward! I hope they lose all the "politics" so the kids can then benefit!

Again, thanks for the support and props!

Drew my post is not about hate or jealousy i was responding to your post."I'd like to see the Peel teams in more of the big tournaments going forward.
That way they can get a better gauge of where they're at competition and skill wise." where in your post it stated you have to be in the top 5 or quarters finals in OFSAA i was responding to your statements.I am not here to be nice to people sometimes criticism helps in going forward.My post tends to make people tell their side and i am sure coaches and Ropssaa will fix the problem you had ,ensuring that people like you would be able to enter the events.

"The coaching is getting better as well" not a statement to make because the coaches have done a great job with the talent they have.
Life is never easy and along the way you will get criticism.But i will say again since school season finish you have been doing a good job covering all the other players around and rest asure i do not kiss people what they sit on.

Drew, I think your comments are a bit harsh and based on a misunderstanding of how things work. The reality is that the various ROPSSAA conveners are all teacher-coaches and the executive committee is made up of teachers. The two administrators, one of whom is probably the "lady ROPSAA representative" to which you refer, are full time employees of the two boards but their job is simply to apply the rules as voted upon by the various teacher committees and the ROPSSAA executive. On top of that, every coach has the opportunity to contribute to the shaping of rules at the post-season coaches meeting in each sport.

In regards to the ticket situation; ROPSSAA has required all tickets to be sold in advance for well over a decade. Their are a variety of reasons for this but the key point is that even the media much contact ROPSSAA in advance in order to be placed on the guest list. That's what the Mississauga News and Brampton Guardian do and you could do the same. The advance notice is required so that they can confirm that the publication in question is legitimate (in the case of first-time contacts) and that the people claiming to act in the name of various publications are recognized as so (in subsequent years).

Next year, I would suggest contacting Kathy Knafelc via e-mail or by phone at the Peel DSB board office in order to cover the final.

Well to be honest...if you're questioning my coverage of Wiggins then I would say that isnt right. Why not be happy that someone from the GTA is a great player and is getting deserved recognition and hype? If I see a good player I say it and as a media outlet we cover accordingly. If there is a "Wiggins" in Peel or any other area I will find him.
But I don't just cover the top tier players. I like to put a shine on some of the next level players as well.

I didnt say they had to be top 5 or quarter finals but if teams aren't doing work or advancing far in tournaments then they won't be the "story". That's how the media works. If I see or hear of a wicked baller I try to get out and cover him.

Criticism is fine and I can certainly take it as we all can get better at what we do. But when you make assumptions without asking or knowing the situation it's a bit bothersome.

We've covered teams and players from all regions throughout the season and not just after the high school season is done. I'm only one person and the CROWN team in my opinion is very good at getting to various events all over the province.

Thanks for the feedback though and we will do our best to get over to Peel in the future.
All the best

I certainly didn't mean to offend any of the teachers/convenors that do a fine job and facilitate various events for the student athletes.
I understand rules...but my colleagues were not aware of these rules when they came to cover the event. Sometimes rules can be "bended" a bit due to circumstance. They looked professional and had equipment, cameras, tripods etc that clearly showed they were a media outlet. They could have also checked the CROWN website to see that we were legitimate media and made a call right then and there. But to just be denied and turned back wasn't too kind of her. To me common sense and understanding did not apply that night. The convenor could have went to the coaches that night and asked them about us and if they would let us in but they were adamant that we weren't allowed in. No consultation from the coaches.

Of course the Brampton and Mississauga outlets knew the procedure(that would only make sense)...but we are not from there and that's why some compromise could have been struck. At the end of the day it's all about the kids and if we were allowed in to cover the event, more of those same kids could have gotten the recognition and exposure they deserve in order to continue their education and athletic careers.

Then maybe I wouldn't get criticized for not covering Peel basketball players enough! ha ha ha.

Hey "Xavier Rimrocker" thanks for the information and next year we will make sure confirm the procedure and make prior arrangements accordingly. Sorry for appearing to be harsh to your colleagues.

All the best!

The convener is a basketball coach, as are the other people who vote on any rules specific to the sport.

I'm not sure how I can make this any more clear: ROPSSAA is not some large group of separate people who spend all day making rules. 99% of ROPSSAA is made up of coaches of the various sports. There are three, I repeat three, people hired by the boards to run the administrative side and do the paperwork but they are not the ones making the rules.

the ppl running ROPSSAA SUCK...how could you not let CROWN into the gym to get kids exposure????ROPSSAA in my opinion is the worst organization when it comes to running things....there are gudd teams but more of thema re alrite but at the end of the day basketball is about having fun and those that want to go somewhere to have the necessary exposure so that there goals can try to be met...ROPSSAA needs to change there rules and look at the way they view things cuzz in my opinion i think thats stright up dumb and not right
