As a former basketball coach in the area (for 14 years) let me say that no one in my experience intimidated refs as much and as often as Brainerd's Robert High. He begins at the tip and never lets up. Many of my former colleagues questioned his basketball savvy, but I always had to admit that he tends to get the big calls late in the game and VERY rarely gets technicals. These are the two sure signs that a coach has "worked the refs" well. Also, his demeanor, I believe, instills in his players an inherent mistrust of everyone from the referees to the nacho salesmen. By the way, this may be for another strand, but Coach Ron Baker--McMinn, East Ridge, now Ooltewah--is by far the best all-around coach in the region: x's and o's, motivation, game management, preparedness. I've heard from Ooltewah people that son Chris Baker is an equally impressive coach.
