I'm telling yall Houston ain't that good..I've said that before and I will say it again..they are long, big and again, long but they aren't tough with the exception of a 2 guys on that team. Their big is so so, their pg is a lil shot happy at times and he doesn't play with his teammates at times, he looks to score to much. He's good though. They are dependant on the 3 ball and if they making them, you will lose by double digits but if they not and they love to shoot them, then you can stay in the game like Bartlett did last night against them. They don't use their strength which is their size and length...
I have to agree.
Very talented, big, and long.
Mason Miller is their most consistant player.
Much of the time they look like a bunch of good players that just got tossed together and don't play together.
They can be beat.

It does not matter if it was one player or the entire team Zero tolerance for fighting. It was not also some random boy that attacked him it was the coach’s son.
If it was the coaches son (not an Arlington student) and a few players then they should be punished. If the coach knew about it then she should be fired.
Kids that had nothing to do with it don't deserve to lose two years of post season because of the idiotic action of others.
I got paddled weekly (probably more) in 3rd grade because our teacher thought the wrong doing of a few kids warranted everyone in class to get 3 licks. I lost all dances (homecoming, spring, winter etc..) in high school my junior year because 2, yes 2 people came to a dance drunk and got caught. The whole school (800+) students were punished.
Collective punishment is a tactive of dictarors, tyrants, and terrorist. It is actually a war crime. It is also seen, by many, as intimidation. It is never the answer.

Typical Memphis stuff where a judge bails them out for not following the rules.
What people don’t realize is these lawsuits cost money and it is hurting the TSSAA and the member schools. As much as I dog the TSSAA, they are in the right in this one and the James Wiseman case.
The TSSAA have people on payroll for this very thing.
The TSSAA could have suspended the coach. They could have asked for Arlington to handle it internally and given them a deadline. They could have done nothing. Since the burden lies on Arlington for lack of security and the kid that atacked the coach wasn't a Arlington student there were different ways to handle this.
They knew exactly what they were doing.
From my understanding it wasn't Arlington that filed. It was parents of players.

I’ve read through every post on here and you are making yourself look like a Clown. Not one comment has been about race and “you people” has never been used! If UC would have used something racist do you not believe a poster would call them out or Coach T administrator would have removed the comment and the poster?
Yes UC did call out the Shelby County School system for not allowing sports to played even though private schools and other public school system inside Shelby County are allowing students to play. It’s not fair to the kids and why some have tried to find away around the rules by changing to a high school that is allowing the kids to play. If you don’t believe politics have something to do with it then you need to get out of your house
This issue has been from previous threads as well. You don't know the full story.

Are there indivdual charter schools that do well. Yes.
The bottom line is charter choose the students they want and can get rid of a student (behaviour, grades, etc... ) anytime they want. Overall, charter schools are not the saviour that they were made out to be.
If you want to be honest then let's say you don't know much about Shelby County and be done with it.

I find it hard to believe that a full basketball team all agreed and participated in this beahviour. I'd be willing to bet that it was only a few that were involved and the majority didn't know anything about it.

That's the real issue. The reason that TSSAA will push hard is control... Their organization, their rules, their absolute power of resolution and penalty. They want to keep total control.
I agree. They lost face a few years ago when the went to court over Memphis East. I know they didn't like that.

Reading the thread from this reporter, my understanding is judge threw out TSSAA's motion to dismiss the restraining order off the bat. TSSAA tried to make a power play, and he didn't budge. My guess is they'll have to present their case, which should be interested.
The big issue is the kids that had nothing to do with this will be hurt in one way or another.

Pretty sure he's referring to Charter schools as well.
Charters are still under the public umbrella. There are no charter's that look anything like a private schools in Shelby County.
The majority of charters in Memphis have failed time and time again academically. Many of them perform poorly over time in academics and athletics. They even operate with more freedom (most of the time) than public schools do and continue to be a bad experiment.
There is no comparison.

Now that I totally agree with! That was my point. The kids are the ones that suffer with the lockout by the powers that be in SCS. When the private school kids are allowed to attend school in Memphis but the city kids aren’t there is something seriously wrong. Like I said before, the private school kids are no better than those going to city schools. They are all breathing the same air. So nothing racist about my posts.
I don't care about private schools. They don't opperate under the same rules as public schools.
The kids that go to privates are either their because they live in $500,000 houses and can afford the tuition or they're there because they recieve financial aid from the schools.
This private vs public does nothing to help your case with the race issue that has followed you like a bad smelling fart.
The private schools in Shelby County are overwhelmingly white. You'll also find that when it comes to private school athletics that many minorites are there because of financial aid. They literally keep spots of finacial aid open for athletes. Football and basketball are where the most African Americans are.
Compare the facilites of CBHS, MUS, Harding, Lausanne etc.. to Trezvant. White Station doesn't even have it's own football field. Their baseball field is laughable compared to other public schools like Collierville, Bartlett, or Arlington. Germantown uses the city of Germantowns field.
To compare public versus private in anything in Shelby County, again, shows how much you don't know about the reality of Shelby County.

You’re still mad because I called Hardaway out for Illegally recruiting players in Memphis and the NCAA busting the player and the University over it. And I know race bating talk as well and that’s what you’re doing. Trying to make this a racial thing as you always do because that’s who you are. You’re racist and it shows in every text you type. Plain and simple. You people was referring to the teachers and the teachers association of Shelby county. Had nothing to do with anything else. But you’re always playing the race card because you can’t talk about the real issues at hand.
Why do you think you have to call someone out. Everyone in the country knows what happened. Had Penny not been a U of M alum none of this would have been an issue. The only reason the NCAA said it was an issue was because they determined that Penny was a booster.
You won't answer questions that people ask you. That is intelectually dishonest.
You won't answer these questions but I'll ask anyway.
What is the real issue at hand?
If the TSSAA clears a player then why is it "wrong"?
Why not word or phrase your sentence to say the teachers of SCS instead of saying y'all?
Which teacher's association are you speaking about? There is more than one union that teachers can join. I personally am not a member of any. If a teacher chooses to be then that's their choice not yours.
Your opinion isn't what's valuable here. The "facts" that you say you speak are what needs to be stated. That means there needs to be some evidence other than what originates in the grey matter between your ears.
The last thing here. I'm a teacher of 14 years, 6 in SCS. We have absolutley no say in any of these decisions. That shows how ignorant you are about anything that goes on in Shelby County. Don't try to be wise and blame teachers for anything. We have been working ever since last year. We have taught classes everyday virtually. I've been on campus 90% of the time. We've adapted to new technology, new demands, and new methods of instruction in the blink of an eye. Students and parents are doing the best they can. Until you've done that at any point in your life for an extended period of time keep be quite. We have done the work and gotten the correct pay for it. To say people got paid for nothing is just ignorant.

Deflect deflect deflect. Thats all you can do. No substance to anything you say. FYI I am not worked up at all. Just stating facts. Glad TSSAA finally stepped up and did something about the rampant cheating in Memphis. Justice was served. Now on with the games!
There is no deflection. I have stated the reasons why it happens like it does. I've also never said that is was an ok thing to do. However, what is, at the moment, is. All you see is what you think is cheating. In this case you have no idea what actually happened.
You have an idea of what you think the rules should be but you don't look at what the rules actually are.
The fact is when the TSSAA clears a kid to play that kid had to have meet their requirements. Not yours but their's.
You can't say justice was served when you don't know the full story. For all we know the coach told the kid and the team that the kid was eligible to play. If he wasn't that wasn't on the kids or the player. That's on the coach. The kids are the ones that suffer. In the end it's the kids that always pay the price.
The players at MASE are the ones that get the bad end of this.

I speak the truth and everyone knows it. So don’t think so maybe you need to mind your business and “sit this one out” yourself. Everyone knows Memphis schools will allow kids to transfer any time if it benefits their programs. I’m not speaking about something that is news to all of us that have and do follow high school athletics in the state of Tn. Case in point is this particular player. 5 schools in a 12 month span? Y’all new he wasn’t legal yet you played him so you could have a chance to WIN a golden trophy. All war machine can do is try to insult me personally instead of focusing on the facts. None of that rhetoric affects me. He can’t debate because he knows he’s wrong. I’m just glad TSSAA stepped up and did the right thing. By the way how did they find out about the illegal recruit?
You wanna talk use the @ symbol. I've never insulted you.
If you speak the truth and everyone knows it then all you're doing is blowing hot air because you like the sound of your own typing. We all know water is wet so why do you need to tell everyone? Why do you need to complain about it?
I like how you use the word, y'all" to group the 40+ schools in SCS together. It shows how far your bias goes.
The "rehotoric" bothers you a great deal or you wouldn't reply so many times to so many people. The TSSAA didn't do the right thing or wrong thing.
I'd like to know why you're so worried about a bunch of 14-18 year old kids, that live 100+ miles away from you, go to school or what color jersey they wear? Kinda of a weird thing for a grown man to get so worked up about? I mean if your care so much about the rules lets see the other posts you make about all the other rule breaking that goes on in our world. Do you complain this much about tax evasion? What about all the speeding? I know! Jaywalking! You have to really have a problem with jaywalkers. Is there an internet forum that you us to ramble on, for years, about jaywalkers and how the local PD does NOTHING to stop it. How dare a person not use a crosswalk.

They have nothing to do with basketball being played. That's the point they denied the kids in their area a chance to participate because they want to play politics. I truly feel.bad for scs athletes.
Everyone know this. I hate it for them as well. I hate that kids didn't get fall and winter sports.
However, it has nothing to do with @UCSportsFan and his viagra driven tirad that happens EVERYTIME a school from Memphis is mentioned. He cannot let it go. He has progressed into using "democrats" into his posts. Then he doesn't quite get the idea of how a term like, "you people" can be misunderstood or seen as inappropriate. He seems to think that teams in Memphis cannot win championships without cheating. It is old. It is tired. He provides no other commentary than the same stuff.

Waiting on that answer ......
The Shelby County Schools superinendent and the Board of Education are have contact information online.
That's phone numbers and emails. Write them and ask them why.
I've told you I'm just a teacher. I don't make the big decisions.
You'll come here and complain EVERYDAY and make stupid comments above but you won't do anything about it.

Ok this was about sports and the fact that schools that are playing are allowing kids to transfer and breaking the rules set forth by TSSAA. It had nothing to do with race at all. Yes all kids wanted to play and should have played but the schools that were in are the ones that cheated and continue to cheat not the ones whom did not have a season because their schools were closed. In the end the truth will come out and the schools who did not take the transfers will hopefully be holding up the gold ball in the glass house. GO TORNADOES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
You seem new here. You'll find the @UCSportsFan (not from Union City) will go out of his way to remind everyone that there has never been a legitimate state title winner that has ever come out of Memphis. Every school, and I mean 100% of the schools that are in Shelby County are nothing but low down no good cheaters.
He cannot stay away from it. It is impossbile for him. The man has 6,600+ posts. I bet 50% of them mention Memphis schools cheating and how the TSSAA does nothing about it.
Recently he has been throwing the word Democrat around. He also has a vested interest in knowing exactly what the largest school district in the state needs to do.

Totally agree! What high school athlete doesn’t want to play!! Memphis is run by Democrats and this was done for political reasons nothing else. Adults ruining high school life for kids that can never get it back. All the private schools were open and playing. They are no better than the inner city girls and boys they breathe the same air yet the politicians would rather hold these kids hostage then allow them to go to school. I’m sick of reading about the teachers unions that want to sit at home and get a paycheck cut the paychecks off and let’s see how quickly the kids get back in school!
Since you like to harp on this so much and have brought up the Democrats why don't you explain to us how you would do it. Then give us how the Republicans would fix it all.
Since I'm a teacher and a teacher in SCS I have a bone to pick here. I'm not a member of any union either.
Teachers in SCS have been working and working hard the whole time. It's not our choice but to say that teachers are sitting home and collecting paychecks is ignorant. I've seen my coworkers more stressed than eve in 14 years of teaching.
You really need to evaluate the trash that comes out of your fingers.
Pack that stuff up and take it to the curb.

Welp, now that I'm out of the CoachT jail for having to flame out a keyboard cowboy stuck in mom's basement, as the Eminem song says, "guess who's back, back again!"
Now, back to the original topic of a shot clock.
Would it work to SS advantage by forcing our opponents to shoot and avoid a stall tactic? Yes, it would force them to play our defense. Which is smothering, pressuring and when in man-to-man is closer than 2 coats of paint.
Advantage SS.
When SS is on offense, would we be constricted by a shot clock? No. We have ball movement that keeps opponents heads spinning. We shoot quickly and rebound aggressively. We haven't faced a defense in the last 2 years, regardless of class or locale that has beaten us. The sole loss, is because we beat ourselves.
Advantage SS.
To conclude: advantage SS
Now to conclude the slack jawed, inbred that reported this profile because they were offended by my comments posted here. I apologize for "crossing a line" in talking smack. So here's the response to being censured by a message board administrator. I run 6 different profiles on one social media platform alone. You won't know how many profiles will be created here by this user. VPN's will disguise IP addresses so that won't help. Email addresses from a dozen business domains could be utilized.
I run a Private Equity firm with expertise in marketing. So when the statement is made that I'd pay for our trip to play anyone in the state, including those in higher classes like mentioned on this thread, please feel free to message the Athletic Director's contact information so I can reach out. Heck, I will even use it as a marketing expense from the company to reduce our tax liability. Advantage: Closer
If this is the last post from this account, don't worry, it will embolden one to be bigger and better. Just like SS.
Oh and now after winning Region 7 AA in 2021, the two year record is 54-1.
Advantage SS.
#HereComesTheCloser
I have no need to mesage anyone for you. You are the one challenging people.
I know you won't beat Houston or CBHS.
You'll have no problem getting a bus for SS to come ot Memphis and play those two teams.
Better yet call IMG and take a trip to Florida. Give the kids a vacation and play them since you're not scared of anyone.

That's a silly back and forth ? Guess I need to get out more. Matters not much now. Still shocked TSSAA acted.
Watch the tape. It's out there. The Wooddale and Melrose players were acting tough and being stupid. Tossing a ball back and forth to/at each other. One of them pretends like someone is holding him back. I think it's one of the Lawson kids. They weren't going to do anything. The TSSAA has acted in the past and will continue to do so when they deem it appropriate.
The incident at Arlington was terrible. The TSSAA did the right thing. I image that McCord has a very good case for litigation and will probably win. I bet Arlington escorts all opposing teams and coaches from now on even if it's bowling. If they don't they're not very smart,
Union City At MASE (sectionals)

No one assumed anything. I'm saying this very issue happened on another thread between @UCSportsFanand @SayWhat.
UCSportsFan is the one the started in with Memphis being run by Democrats and other politcial stuff. There is alot of room for implication using the phrase "Memphis is run by Democrats". There are better ways to get your poitn across but he doesn't or won't do that. He uses the word "y'all" without stating previous context for the conjunction. It is very easy for a person to imply things in that manner.
In one breathe he says Memphis schools can't win without cheating. Then the next posts he is saying he feels bad for the kids in Memphis because they can't play. He's comparing public and privates all while bashing a school that is a charter school.
The coach of MASE literally said to a news outlet what happened. I, nor anyone else, has the right to judge what happened here as more than a mistake.
The kids are the ones that lose out.
