Why would the tax payers be responsible for paying for only a coach? In recent years with all the theft from various programs in schools from different programs with booster clubs (not just sports) the State of TN has made alot of rules surrounding booster clubs and how they handle money. I have two documents to review, 1 is 40 pages from the state comptroller and the other is 37 pages from my district, so I can consider starting a booster club for my middle school program. It has been too much trouble in the past for the other coaches. There is no way there needs to be an adult in the school building for 7 hours a day with no responsibilities except coaching.

Who's going to pay them? In my opinion coaches need to be in the school to interact with the kids/players. They need to be there to help encourage and intervene when it is necessary. Coaches need to have access to players attendance, grades, and discipline records. Coaches are a huge influence on players.

That's principal money.

Tax payer dollars are paid for certified teachers to "teach" and then coach. The primary job is to teach. There are some district that ay awesome supplements and others that don't. Dyersburg and Dyer County are pretty close if I remember correctly. I would imagine that Football and basketball are above $10,000 now. I've heard that Milan is $20,000 for boys basketball. I would imagine that football is more than that in Milan. Collierville has camps that coaches get paid extra for. 3 camps a year, 100 kids a camp, $30,000 right there. There are places like Memphis-Shelby County schools where the supplements are garbage even for the head coaches. I made less than $3,000 as the head assistant at Germantown in 2015 when we were 26-4 and one of the best teams in the Southeast. As a head middle school coach next year I will make between $4-5,000 at a municipal in Shelby County. Coaches should be compensated for the jobs that are required but lets keep in mind that they are educators first. It's pretty frustrating to other teachers that work their tale off teaching 6-7 classes a day to watch someone roam campus, not teach (or have very minimal responsibilities), and get paid the same (more with supplements) as a person who has the some years of experience or sometimes less.

Plenty of head high school coaches, especially at larger programs with pedigree, get small class schedules and time to get things done. I've seen head football and basketball coaches get 2 P.E classes, 2 weightlifting, cafeteria duty, and planning. They might be the study hall teacher, alternative school, or something that doesn't require alot of planning and actual teaching. I think at Dyer County the coach gets 2 basketball periods, 1 P.E class, and a planning. You can't get much easier than that. The supplements used to be $10,000 for boys and girls each. It's not like this everywhere. I know that.

I've lived in Memphis since 2015 and I've never had an issue. I coach and run a side business and I've been to just about every neighborhood in Memphis, the suburbs, and North Mississippi. Living and working here 365 puts me at much higher risk than visiting for 3 days. I've never had an issue or been put in danger. Don't let your fear, stupidity, and ego get the best of you. It would be fine to have it here every 3 years. People will make excuses for everything. MTSU's gym is terrible. East TN is too far from West TN. Memphis is too dangerous. The air is too cold. It's too hot in the gym. The bathroom didn't have soft toilet paper. The hot dogs weren't long enough. The popcorn had too many kernels. Some old lady looked at me funny.

It really should rotate every few years. Memphis fans would represent a lot more even if it was held every 3 years in Memphis.

07-08 Union City Tornadoes went 37-0 also. They beat Manassas for the championship and that was no small task. Humboldt and Lake County were no joke that year either. I saw the 96-97 PC team. They were huge for a A school. I have no doubt that UC, Humboldt, Lake County would have given that PC team trouble and any of those teams could've pulled out a win.

TSSAA doesn't take any money until the post season. Now there are more district and regional tournaments than before.

Probably Hillcrest could win this Region No idea

Similar to Optional Schools in Memphis Shelby County. Kids can apply for any school they want in the district or out of district as long as they are in the Optional Program of that school. I was offered a job at Liberty in 2015. That was before they removed the principal and the superintendent did all the crazy stuff. I'm glad I didn't take that job. When Liberty first opened it was a great campus. The school seemed to thrive in multiple ways.

The problem with Hillcrest is that they don't play anyone. Their schedule is really, really weak. They've played close games against bigger schools that are bad. I know those guards can play and they'll help get them through the regular season but when they get outside Memphis they've got to have more than those guards to get past sectionals.

These are all in A. These are all in Memphis. Region 8 District 15 B. T. Washington High School (Memphis, TN) Compass School - Midtown High School (Memphis, TN) Manassas High School (Memphis, TN) Martin Luther King, Jr. Preparatory High School (Memphis, TN) Memphis Academy of Science & Engineering (Memphis, TN) Memphis Middle College High School (Memphis, TN) Soulsville Charter School (Memphis, TN) University High School - Memphis (Memphis, TN) District 16 City University School of Liberal Arts (Memphis, TN) Hillcrest High School (Memphis, TN) Memphis School of Excellence (Memphis, TN) Memphis School of Excellence - Cordova (Cordova, TN) Oakhaven High School (Memphis, TN) Westwood High School (Memphis, TN)

This is a great experience. I got to coach in this tournament in 2015-16 (won the tournament) and 2016-17. Great gym and great atmosphere.

Yes, they have beat or played some of the better teams in this area in the past few years. I don't think they are as good this year as they have been the past few years but they are legit. They have won 3 or 4 (in a row) of the National Homeschool tournaments.
