I have been involved with Warren County Basketball for 20 plus years. I have read most of the post on CoachT and I have listened to people around the county. The problem in this county is not all Coach Eades. The problem starts way before Coach Eades gets these girls. There is absolutely zero basketball fundaments coached in the elementary schools. It makes me sick to go watch an elementary basketball game. You will see girls shooting two handed with zero fundamentals. When a person goes to the elementary basketball tournament and if you add the final score up for both teams and it doesn't equal 30 that's the start of our high school programs problem. Warren County will never be able to compete in high school basketball until we get one of two things. The first would be get coaches in the county schools to coach fundamentals. Which this will never happen. The last fundamental basketball coach in a county school was Coach Eades at Morrison. The best thing for Warren County would be all 6-8 graders to attend a middle school. Which would mean another middle school built in the county. We need to step back and look were the problems are in this county. If you look at White County, Coffee County, Putnam County, and Rutherford County just to name a few they all have all 6-8 graders in Middle Schools. You have to put the top players from each community on the team together in 6th grade and let them play together from 6th grade through high school. They need to play together each grade. You don't need to move up a player and let them waste away on the bench all season. Which this happens in our county also. Which this is another big problem that I'm not even going to address.
