I'm not sure how pronounced the home court advantage is at Miramonte, but I can assure you it is nothing compared to the Hawaiian fare served at the Iolani Classic. Mmmm, that's tasty.... And MM didn't have the home cooking advantage they tend to thrive upon.

I'm sure this is a big deal to Hawaii
still whining about Clet's 0-2 record v MM this century (both on neutral courts)? how many MM home games have you seen? any particulars, or are you just spouting vague generalities? how can you win, any way or otherwise, if you are a cheap shot artist?
how many games in Hawaii have you watched?
my rancor is triggered by your use of "cooking". familiarity with the physical surroundings, minimal travel, a larger and perhaps louder supporting crowd are all part of home court advantage which every team has and most thrive on, even if they don't thrive enough to win. "cooking" and your assertion that it appears at away games (I think you're referring to one game in particular, and if so, get over it) seem to indicate some unfair advantage. as a great basketball mind, surely you know that "home cooking" is a pejorative term. so what are you talking about? and don't tell me about biased refs if you had a rooting interest in the opponent. or a rooting opposition to MM. and how does that happen? after game massages? visits from large men in trench coats before the game? hiring of team family members as refs? bribes?
or is it a system of play, cooked up at home practices, that yields good results? that might travel well, too, and it's what I see.
As far as Honolulu I have lived on the rock....went to grad school...married a girl from Kaneohe..went to many Iolani games..
What happens is two major things...
The kids in Hawaii I with the right coach...don't believe the hype....they
don't know who MM is....it becomes us against the mainland....the other thing is the mainland kids...get mesmerized by the Aloha....
The refs are good for a call or two...maybe Four points.. ..but if the wrong coach with the wrong attitude...starts with the mouth...
Bruddah....you gonna get it

perhaps I am just focused on the questionable calls a home team gets and missing the questionable calls the visitor also gets
and if so, why might you focus on the calls in favor of a particular home team?
there's something called confirmation bias--the tendency to see things in a way that reinforces an opinion that you have already formed. I'm doubtful that a coach complaining about calls establishes referee bias, unless you want it to. in fact, it's a better indicator the of coach's bias. as a strong fan, you must know that your opinion about calls v Clet are absolutely biased, assuming you have a shred of humility.
you expressly allege ref bias in the "few" MM home games you've seen. how do you explain this? what's the conspiracy? since the refs are many multiple times closer to the play than you are, maybe you should consider getting your eyes, as well as your biases, checked.
so we're left with a fan of a superb team that suffered an unexpected loss who thinks the refs were partly to blame, and a coach that complains about calls that go against his team. try getting those items as headlines in the Chronicle's sports section. or you can post them as opinion on norcalpreps.
Nothing wrong with average Sue is average,
...Tom is average...now Doc is better than average ....the things he does with a lot less than those other three is good stuff...that is why I don't understand why he ducks competition....
Well said norcal_fan... I too have attended practices of those coaches and couldn't agree more. While I personally don't like the system that Doc runs, he is a great teacher and a skills developer... but its funny that you think that even if jazz were to attend those practices that he would know what was going on... he doesn't know terminology or scheme. Maybe he would catch on to the fact that he knows nothing though..
Also, while I didn't see the SMS/SHC game, I hate watching SMS play man. As I've stated numerous times before, they have NO man-to-man principles... glad to see some things never change.
