Meanwhile DCD throws out a frontline of 6'10, 6'8, and 6'5 with a guard in the backcourt that has full ride to a MAC school. DCD has 3 legitimate Division 1 players and the son of Joe Dumars while Flint Powers has .....uh..... the youngest Lucas Perry? Keener has won 6 state championships with Country Day 89-91 and 95-97. Each and everyone of these came with either the most dominant Michigan Class B big man in the past 50 years or with someone who has their jersey hanging from the rafters of Cameron indoor. Like I said I don't know if Keener is a good coach or not, just that success for DCD basketball is expected and when it doesn't happen people start looking for someone to blame.

I have seen DCD play plenty of times over the years. Believe me or not, Keener is not a very good coach. Not just because he doesn't win the title every year with the talent and size he has. If you get a chance, go watch them play. Do it in the summer when they are in East Lansing or at Oakland U. Or wait until the season. Doesn't matter. He probably deserves a little more credit than I give him, but believe me when I say that many a high school coaches think he is a poor coach. Over the course of time, DCD almost never beats a team when the talent matchup is even, or if the other team is better. When DCD loses, it is almost always to a team that has significantly less talent. You just have to see enough of them to understand where I am coming from.
