Oneida basketball has the same problem as does wartburg in football and it starts at the top administration don't care about basketball at Oneida same as football at wartburg and it shows as long as football is winning at Oneida everything is OK and as long as basketball is winning at wartburg everything's ok

probably some truth to both of those... But the bigger factor is talent, or lack thereof, at both places in each sport right now. It happens in cycles at smaller schools especially. Oneida will bounce back... Now wburg rarely has winning seasons in football... So, I don't know if that will change much. .500 is a banner football season there. But yes, talent is very low even for wburg right now.

No coach in the world can win if they don't have talent.

All reports I ever heard pointed to the fact that he was given more than his share of chances to clean up his language...and didn't.  Didn't he even cuss out the fans at Wartburg one year?

You have got to be kidding.  From reports I have heard, it was all political.  But this topic isn't about Coach Yaden.  It's about the team this year and from what I have seen, the coach has no idea what he is doing.  IMO they got just what they asked for.

Coach Yaden wouldn't win with the talent they have. You could put any coach you want to there and they probably only finish 4th or 5th in the district.

Talent is not the problem. I'm not saying it's just coaching, but it's not from a lack of talent. They have some size, they have ball handling and they have shooters. Defense is horrible, rebounding is horrible. They have talent, but it is not being utilized.

    • Ouch! If he's in the scrap business maybe 
    • That's a nice story but has little to nothing to do with what we're talking about. 
    • The winds of change are blowing in Hartsville.     Will be an interesting follow.    Would go back to the 90s and turn black the clock!
    • Did he promise you a coordinator job or something if he ever got a head coaching job? He resigned? He was at the top of the dugout last night calling plays. I wonder if those 30+ parents would let him give their kids a ride. by the way the board meeting was last night and it was not mentioned. must have been at the work session earlier this week which is not public. must be trying to keep it quiet.  Since you know so much, how much is Robbie Atwood willing to pay Adam Cothron?  Didn't you slander Eden earlier on here? You also didn't know he was a faculty coach again so how much do you really know? Some people outside this county baffle me with their need to slander others.    
    • He resigned smh, and have you ever heard of charged but not convicted. Some people in this county baffle me with their need to slander others. Have you asked any of the 30+ parents that signed a petition to get him reinstated at the board meeting this week how they feel about this? Just let it play out, at the end of the day the only people that will bring TC back are the ones that know what its about at its core.    People hate losing and they aren't used to it at TC. I for 1, and I'm sure others too, understand having a dip in talent and not being able to compete for a state title every year. But in the past, TC teams have outworked more talented teams, they didn't continuously lose the turnover battle, they didn't commit 8+ penalties in several games each season, and I believe several of the folks in town that want Blake out feel as if he is neglecting the history of the program. This is from a source that used to be extremely close to the program (not me lol), Blake gets out of school midday and the players show up and there is no practice plan or itinerary.  I also understand those that are on team Blake, when he has loads of talent, he wins. He does know football and he is a tremendous DC, and if the rumors are true then he will do great things. As for the board member issue, it is what it is, everyone that's true to the county know that and nothing has changed. I agree though that they should strive to make the facilities as good as we can. And as far as potential candidates, I agree there is very few options. West, Vetetoe (yes I know), and couple others that could have some interest. Whatever happens is massive for the program during a pivotal time before the next big wave of stars make their way through.
