TURTLETRACKS

I think coach roberts would do a real fine job with his program if he had an assistant coach that had a clue how to play basketball. he started with roberts last year and none of the players respected him and he is with him this year and he still doesnt have a clue. his assistant couldnt play ball in high school so what is he doin showin these kids.. not a thing

Well spoken Knob, I have been following this topic since its conception and for someone to say you are ignorant on this message board is also very mature. Loo165 obviously has some sort of close connection to this coach roberts and somewhat of a connection to coach ladd. why, we will never know but it seems to me that he is pretty firm on believing in coach roberts and defending him to the end so you may be fighting a losing battle. i understand that you dont really have a clue on the real deal here that you are just getting second hand stuff but aint that what rumors are all about. it may be that you are concerned about the situation and want to get the truth on everything. but it seems like everyone has there own opinion on the topic and we all know that opinions are like rearends (everyone has one). whether it is the truth we may never know. I dont know if we have heard from any of the marion players here but seems like they would get on here and defend their coach if they really believed that he was being wrongly accused of out of control behavior of any kind or what ever has been brought up against him. We all know that the kids from grundy county that followed coach roberts to marion after spending their childhood in tracy city or monteagle will defend him to the end. and if rumor mill has it correct, when roberts had the mid season meetings with the parents that the only parents that had any positive to say were the parents from grundy county. and some of the parents really had some intense discussions with him about his actions to that point in the season.(mrs thacker, mr. pickett, mr and mrs shankles.) all just rumor here but could have been more than that disagreed with his coaching style. but that goes back to the rearend thing(everyone has one ) so its yours against his and his against hers and hers against yours and so on and so on..... But i really think it goes to the kids that put up with his coaching style and still play, if they can live with it and still go to bed at nite then good for them, it must not be that bad. but if it drives that one kid away that might have hit that winning shot, then it didnt turn out to well. but there is always gonna be those kids that just play because they love to play ball and all the yellin and screaming doesnt bother them one bit and there will always be that kid who puts up with it all year long his last year at marion and finally gets to start on senior nite. those are the kids that deserve a pat on the back. thank you no reply needed loo
