Coach's Corner.

Mahlers finishing over a Siegfried defender.

A routing…

That’s what Coach Mahlers, Michael Ahlers, gave Siegfried Hall on the basketball court this past Monday. Leading the Steds “A Team” to a 59-8 victory, Coach Mahlers utterly dismantled the Siegfried quad, and the dismantling would have continued if it were not for the intervention of RecSports officials and their invoking of the “mercy rule.”

Mahlers’ coaching style of "letting the players play" has allowed players, like veteran John Planek and rookie Brandon Ruggles, to unleash their star potential. In the end, Mahlers says, “My intervention really isn't necessary. It's like trying to coach LeBron James out there”.

In the huddle, Coach Mahlers tells his players:

-Always argue with the ref- he’s out to get you, personally.

-If you need a timeout, just tell someone "hit me". (Jason Kidd reference)

-If you can't beat 'em, cheat.

-You miss 100% of the shots I don't take.

-The clock is your best friend when ahead and the worst enemy when behind.

Mercy rule? RecSports, let the kids play!
