  1. Can't argue with Jody Wright....never heard of David Scott. You can say what you want about Aaron Green but his track record and success as a player and coach speak for itself. He is a proven winner and quality person!!!
  2. That's why I asked about Aaron to begin with. From what I have heard about McDaniel, there are some similarities. I do know Aaron a little bit. As far as his interest in middle tennessee, I think he interviewed for the Blackman job when the school was opening. That was when he was just getting started in coaching. He got the Cleveland job instead and had a lot of success. His wife graduated from Vanderbilt and their 2nd child is due this spring. He may want a more stable lifestyle for his family instead of the travel involved in college. I would think Oakland would be an elite job, but I guess that's open to discussion. If it's not, I would think it would certainly be more attractive than any of the openings this year. I don't think the jobs at CAK, Coffee Co., Warren Co., or Independence are even close. I really don't know Aaron well enough to speak on his behalf. I have just heard that he may be interested, and I was just wondering if anyone in middle tennessee had any thoughts.
  3. Anyone hearing who CAK is looking at for their new coach or who has applied for the job?
  4. There is nothing in Aaron Green's background that would suggest that he's looking to jump from job to job. He was at Cleveland for 7 years (his entire h.s. coaching career), then he went to Tennessee (where he played) as a graduate assistant. G.A.'s are only there for 2 years, then their time is up. Aaron just completed his 2nd year. Maybe he is more comfortable in high school. Leaving high school to go to the University of Tennessee is a pretty good career move. In fact I bet he is the only serious candidate for the Oakland job who has coached his entire career at one high school.
  5. I hear Aaron Green may be interested. For those of you who don't know, he won a state championship as a player at Sweetwater H.S., played at Tennessee, coached for about 7 years at Cleveland (2 substates and 1 state tournament appearance and I think, 20 wins every year) and has been back at Tennessee as a graduate assistant for the last 2 years under Coach Pearl.
  6. I would agree that the talent that McMinn Central has year in and year out is due to their youth programs, aau, and their commitment to basketball at an early age. However, these reasons should also contribute to more success at the state tournament. To get better you have to play better competition on a regular basis. Once these girls get to high school they are not consistently exposed to great competition (in the regular season) that will allow them to improve at a level to be successful in Murfreesboro. It is not obvious to me that morgan teaches fundamentals....being talented and fundamentally sound should equal to a state championship. Reminder: The thread is "Why does Central always lay an egg in Murfreesboro". I feel the reasons I posted yesterday are accurate in why they are not successful. If I'm not mistaken.... Jill Pruden does have a state championship at the AAA level???? Whats your point?????
  7. I ask the same question before the state tournament, and was attacked by the loyal central fans. I hate to say it....BUT I WAS RIGHT! Morgan has been blessed with a lot of talent over the years (enough to win at least one state championship), but can never beat the good teams at the state tournament. In my opinion, here are some reasons why: 1. He does not play a tough schedule that would prepare his team for the state tournament. For example, the Lenoir City Christmas Tournament is not going to prepare his team for post season. 2. He cannont man to man press every team at the state tournament. They blow out these teams locally with ball pressure and forcing turnovers, but when they get to the state tournament that gambling out of control defense allows for lay ups, fouls, open 3's, and offensive rebounds against the good teams. 3. Offensively, they can get away with going 1 on 1 against the teams on their schedule, but the good teams at the state tournamnent can guard. Run an offense that will make the good teams have to guard, and not a one pass and jack it up offense. 4. He does not adjust to the other teams strengths and weaknesses. For example, good scouting will tell you not to guard players on the other team that can't shoot (play in the paint) or pressure players that can shoot but can't put it on the floor. Central plays one way and one way only.
  8. Old Warhorse, Good question... here is who I think has a better chance of winning it than Central. South Greene (28-4)- 2 losses came to AAA power Morristown West, 1 loss to AAA Wilson Central) They also beat Morristown West once which was their only loss of the year) Upperman (31-1)- Not only a great record but they play a tough schedule as well (Several wins over tough AAA teams). Westview (29-4)- 3 losses came to Gibson County. Gibson County (30-0)- Undefeated with a descent schedule Also, I feel the best team to come out of Memphis could beat central as well because they will be able to match up athletically!
  9. Shouldn't you be working on an end of the season workout program to maintain strength and conditioning for the end of the season instead of wasting your time on this board? I'm officially out of here....I am not going to lower myself to same level as all of you arrogant, cocky central fans. I admire your loyalty but laugh at your ignorance. If you consider yourself a coach, you shouldn't be worried about whats being said on a message board, and concentrate on the responsibility you have to your team. Best of luck! OVER AND OUT!
  10. We finally get a central fan that is mature enough to make good solid points without the name calling. Good post OldSchoolCharger, but I'm hesitant to agree with you on several of them. I know basketball as well and also have seen first hand what it takes to win the state. This team might have the pieces this year, but I feel the way they play defensively and offensively will not get it down at the state tournament. I am not a hater on anyone, thats just how I feel.
  11. "make a fol out of yourself"..... thats funny considering you can't spell fool. /roflol.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":roflol:" border="0" alt="roflol.gif" />
  12. Yes, I will be there! What does that have to do with anything?
  13. Well since you brought it up.....Yes, jewell at Meigs took several talented teams to the state tournament, and if I'm not mistaken they have a couple of state championship trophies in their trophy case to show for it. I also think Coach Davis at Polk has a state championship under his belt as well (1981 maybe?). Sweetwater had a couple of girls teams in the mid 80's that made it to the state tournament. Anything else you want to Know? Yes, Morgan has won a lot of games, but they have won in this area because they have more talent than everyone else. And yes, Meigs in the 90's out talented teams in this area but also beat great teams at the state tournament and brought home the gold ball....there is a difference. Again, the thread is about whether or not the chargerettes can win the state.... and the answer in my opinion is no and I've given my reasons why. Why don't you people stop getting mad and give me some good reasons for why you think I am wrong!!!!!!!
  14. No, I do not consider under achieving as being successful! I also do not consider playing teams close at the state tournament as being successful if you've had the talent to win it. I do not consider fortune to be the reason Livingston, Jackson County, Shelbyville, Oak Ridge, etc to be the reason they have won multiple state championships. So are you saying that McMinn Central has not won a state championship because of bad calls and/or bad bounces? Again, the thread was started by someone asking can Central win it all? I've given my opinion, and my reasons why. I have never said that Coach Morgan was not a good coach! Lets see if my opinion is wrong or right come state tournament time.
  15. I don't consider Polk County a state tournament team! The thread was started with a question....can mcminn central win it all? In my opinion, the answer is no and I've given my reasons why! You central fans crack me up!
