I find it odd that so many in this thread are talking about how they had this homerun "400 game winner" hire available yet no names are mentioned. Who was this homerun hire that was available?

 

This local hire will prove to be very good for WC. The guy can flat out coach and he knows the landscape. The kids will play hard and be competitive immediately. 

Sometimes it is best to leave names out of message board talk...but I assure you the 400 game winner would have been a solid choice. Todd Wilmore contacted him twice but in the end chose to go with a local choice. The coach in question is in the hunt for a couple of jobs in the New Orleans area so yes he will find something but he had a strong interest in WC and liked the way Wilmore handled the entire process.

Hard to believe that WC can continuously be this stupid.  If what I am hearing is indeed true, whoever made this decision is a MORON.  There were legitimate coaches interested in the job and they have chosen to hire locally.  My sympathy to the players at WC.

not sure you can blame todd wilmore. rumor has it he pushed for the coach who is living a couple of counties away. i think he was "influenced" to hire locally. the last few coaches were not local so the board wanted to keep it close. guess you can't blame them. from what i know about todd he is a good guy.

any news or names?

Wingman10, why do you say a tough place to coach?

they haven't had much success in the last few years and lack of success breeds dissent. guy that went to lebanon a few years ago was in the process of turning things around. forget that coach's name but he was moving them in the right direction. i know for a fact the afforementioned coach was called...lets see what they do.he could be a great hire for them. just not sure wc wants to make a committment to someone like him.

coach with over 400 wins has discussed the job with them...not sure if they will jump on him.

good coach. he is a little older but still a solid hire if they decide to go in this direction. good luck to them. they have been beset with some tough hires the last several years.

Boone has hired Brown as their new head coach. He was at Volunteer previously. This is a bad hire if you ask me. Their pool must have been aweful for them to hire Brown.

they had a 400 game winner that applied. maybe this guy had friends on the inside. usually how it works i think. not what you know but who.

We should be good in BB for a while. In football KIPP is a rising power. The new coach is Tim Thompson the former Melrose coach who dominated for a while.

no offense galilee but that guy has no business being around children.none at all.i admire your coach. tough situation at mitchell but coaches like mr phillips just make the entire school and community better. he is in it for all the right reasons and the fact that his son is at mitchell says a whole lot.

not sure wtn coaches are that superior it is just that they have to compete against memphis teams and they know they have to step their games up in the summer. i dont consider memphis wtn...they are a region of their own. best coaches are in mtn no doubt. competiton is pretty weak in chatt area as well.

Coach Phillips is a class act. His off the court coaching is just as great as his on the court coaching.

so how long do you guys at mitchell keep him galilee?

this coach is a rural mississippi guy...not a traditional memphis coach...and you could see that in the way they played and behaved. very deserving win for them.

it is almost non existant...i'll be interested to see who whites creek hires...

why can't they win anymore?

Wow, not even an assistant coach? That is tough..why the problem with guys basketball? Have good athletes at the school I am sure. Doesn't make sense cause it would seem to be a good place to raise a family and teach.

well they do have an assistant coach but he would not be someone they would turn to i don't think. he is a football assistant. yes i think it would be a really good place just not sure about the committment to roundball.

they dont have an assistant coach there. they have a ms coach they are high on so he might very well get the job. fact is carthage hasnt been relevant in boys bb in well over 20 years. i expect that trend to continue.

this should not be close...but hogeye's discipline and coaching will make it a ballgame...

would someone in that area please tell me when they are going to attempt to move into the 21st century in basketball. that gym is gorgeous. so put some semblence of a team in it. i know it is a football school but with all those athletes at least they can find 5 basketball players and a coach.

after years of dominance from 5aaa i think it has finally switched from 5aaa to 6aaa with cookeville,stone, and white county being loaded this year and already thumping bradley, ooltewah, and walker valley. the only bad thing is cookeville, stone, and white are going to beat up on each other in the district. i think there is a legitamate chance that cookeville, stone and white county could all be ranked in the top ten in the state which would be awesom. anyway, what does everybody else think?

honey please...that area of the state in 3a is horrid...just wait till you play the boro teams in the sectionals...would someone please throw this person a reality pill...

Fayette ware 2004,2003, 2002, 2000, 1999, 1996, 1994, 1993, 1989, 1988, they had plenty of State Championship caliber teams but never had the coach

i have always said fayette ware and ripley were a coach away from greatness...

buying beer with a school credit card? did i read this right?

is mask coaching anywhere galilee?

Coffee Co. definitely fits that bill.

Do you coach there...or would you like to?

Were they a one year wonder?

Coach Johnson received a fellowship at Michigan State University.

As a long time poster on this site, Eddie knows what he posts. Getting a fellowship at Michigan State is prestigious. It is understandable her accepting the honor. Players on her team should feel very honored she accepted the honor. Now lets get on to the task at hand like LHS has done with the last two coaches and find a highly regarded coach like the past two.

the next coach should be an LHS alumn or somebody from the area

ice...other than bud at wc and bradshaw now at watertown i don't think there are any other LHS grads still in coaching.

Parrothead? KL thinks is it more like skillet head. /roflol.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":roflol:" border="0" alt="roflol.gif" /> /roflol.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":roflol:" border="0" alt="roflol.gif" />

Old "moddie" calls that OP feller "Parrothead" cuz all good Pirates like to sociate with the colorful burds. Dont that big guy that guards the gym at SP have one on his shoulder? Was that big goomer modeled after OP hisself? I fer one agree with the hiring of Danny Wilson. He can coach anything.

Old Pirate says from the size of some of them gals and their reported effort on the court they need a bunch of additional workouts. No need to ask

where's the beef?

Old moddie ain't got a dog ah hunting here Parrothead but seems like you are knocking that former Lady Pirate coach fer lack of effort when I aint zactly seen them male counterparts setting the woods on fire. You been addressing that as well?
