There are only 10 rules in the book! Can you please show me where "over the back" is a rule? Know what you're talking about before you speak please !

Brooks is a good player but Scales is twice the player that he is.

Scales is only a jr. What class is Wheeler?

I have no dog in the IMAC, but from what I've seen Jeff County is slightly the best team to me. All teams in IMAC are streaky. Outside South Doyle, anyone could win the tournament. Definitely should be interesting!!!

Hate to tell ya, but Sidney Goins is what made that team go until her injury!!!!!

OK I AM PRETTY SURE THE ONLY REASON WHY SC BEAT BEARDEN AND CATHOLIC IS BECAUSE BOTH TEAMS PITCHED A DIFFERENT PICTCHER EVERY INNING IF THEY DIDNT SC WOULD NOT HAVE BEATIN THEM,NOT EVEN CLOSE. BEARDEN AND CATHOLIC HAVE PRETTY SOLID CLUBS THIS YEAR AND WE WILL SEE WHAT HAPPENS IN THE REG. SEASON! Every team can't pitch their ace every outing...so they gotta pitch someone....As I see it, a win is a win, no matter who pitched...SC won and that's that ...now if you want to argue who would win a series, then that would be another debate....it's hard to debate history...and with SC winning the game...I call that history...Not a hater just a realist....make no excuses and move on!!!

No dog in this fight, just a fan of the district which Carter plays in. I came to the game to see how Lester Wilson would handle the pressure and the bottom line is Carter was the better team and won, as they should have. The district Carter plays in night in and night out prepared them for this game and the crowd that came along with it. It was actually quite refreshing to me to see that the hand check wasn't called all night long...the crew working the game let them play and protected the shooters, and left out all of the ticky tack calls, just as they should have in a game of this magnitude. Hats off to Sullivan East, not only for the effort and class they showed, but also for the passion of their fans. It was probably one of the best, if not the best environments I have ever seen in a high school basketball game. The only downfall to this game is that somebody had to lose. Congratulations and good luck to Carter, and to Sullivan East...man what a great season. My great sidekick, sorry to say I missed you as I was in attendence as well. Great atmosphere, great game. Sullivan East had there chance to win but Carter prevailed........Officials called was needed and let the players decide the game....good game but the atmpsphere made it great....Until next time Mr. Nessler, I will see you at March Madness!!!!!!

The only person the officials have to please with their job...is their supervisors.....Everyone wants touch fouls called when their team has the ball and wants to "let em play" when they are on defense...Who's to say they aren't doing what their supervisors have asked them to do..There is more technicalities in officiating than what the "general" fan believes.....It is your opinion that, but at the end of the day, the officials do not need to please you but their respective boss..... Will the real Dick Vitale please stand up? You missed the whole point...Do you need a book with pictures so that you will understand.....Some calls are not even close... not touch fouls...did you read my post? We want the players to have integrity and sportsmanship, and they are penalized if they don't....Why are the officials held to different standards.....So basically, it should be a dictatorship. You must be one of the officials making these preposterous calls or you work for the TSSAA...either way your post was very shallow and special ed like, with no explanation. I am no official, but however, I have in fact read enough posts on coacht to know, that usually when someone complains about the officiating, their team has lost....All I am say is, your standards are differents from any other "joe". So therefore your assumption isn't always right. Whether it be about officiating or me!!! I just see you being upset because the officials aren't held to YOUR standard.....

I think the "KING" needs some crow to chew on.....good luck OS at the boro.....

Hoopla, you speak of S.Greene and Greeneville.....Let's not forget about North Greene as well.....Good luck to all east Tn teams......

The topic is Fulton v.s. Gatlinburg. You never referenced Pigeon Forge...and I still have no clue as to what you are talking about. I'm referring to their next match up which will be at Pigeon Forge. The 1st game was very rough with poor officiating. If you look at posts from other schools.... many fans feel the same way about the mountain top refs.

I'd like to see that too... with fair officiating. Those Smoky mountain refs seem to let them play too physical and make too many inconsistent calls. Which ever court they play on...I just hope we can keep the GP women happy. We had sailors blushing listening to some of the screaming F-bombs and other descriptive adjectives. Coach Wright himself asked the district tournament coordinators if they would have some of the local churches volunteer to provide child care for some of the tiny sports fans that had their verbal horizons broadened. In this day and age, children are going to hear that language at school, on the TV, or even at hilltop family reunions... but to hear it from mad mamas and visiting head coaches is a little shocking... even for adults. Was the game not played in Fulton? If so my friend, that would be Knox South Association and not Smoky mountain.....

when and where is the cocke co & west game?

Well well well, Barb, surely you aren't on here complaining about officiating... ...I just thought you complained about them on the basketball board.....Was hoping Greeneville would win...but you ragging the officials is better than anything to me at this point....

More excuses...LOL....you will always say that we haven't seen the best yet.....said it last year and I'll go on a limb that you'll say it next year too!!!! Howdy Barb I missed you!!!

What are you people thinking....???? You gotta keep this IMAC thread on the front page....ggggeeeeesshhh

I'm callin' BS on this.....just because the patch is on the shirt doesn't mean there is any affiliation.....So I guess Benard Childress called his asign officers and told him to have refs at this tournament....don't think so pal.. I've seen guys with GA and NC patches working tournaments in Tn...so does that mean they have any affiliation to something in this state?

I understand your concern for your boys safety, but these summer tournaments have nothing to do with TSSAA....so why would you even go to the scorer's table and ask for their names.....Wasted time in attempting to do this.....

You need to take your own advice, this isn't a team award. Just becasue you make it to the boro 3 years doesn't mean squat in the award. 100 wins doesn't mean squat...........you talk about individuallity but at the same time you post nothing but team accomplishments!!!!!! /hungry.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":hungry:" border="0" alt="hungry.gif" /> /ph34r.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":ph34r:" border="0" alt="ph34r.gif" />

How do you figure? What about Faith Dupree? Is Webb no longer located in Knoxville? Is Knoxville no longer located in East Tn? Last I checked Glory Johnson won it the two previous years and she played at Webb........Your statement is ridiculous......

No as in you don't know or you're just not telling? /hungry.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":hungry:" border="0" alt="hungry.gif" />

PTS is Evans out and Billy D in? You are the man to know this, fill us in............ /ph34r.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":ph34r:" border="0" alt="ph34r.gif" /> /ph34r.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":ph34r:" border="0" alt="ph34r.gif" />

Come on Kev, Carter is on fire right now.....don't be bitter because your beloved Grizzlies didn't make it to the boro...give'em credit where credit is due........don't be a hater because they punched their ticket and your team got punched....Carter beat some pretty dang good teams to get where they are right now.......it's not who had the best season but who's gets hot at the right time.......no more excuses...
