Anderson County by Fiddy!

BBB Communications out of Oak Ridge. James "Hoot" Gibson or Coach Gibson was doing the color (he was a football player and coach and attended Bethel), while Aaron Harvey was doing play by play. First exclusive NFHS game we have done, was asked by the Network to do it for them. Normally we cover Anderson, Roane and Morgan County teams during the season. We actually tried to do the Anderson County game but it was already on the network, that's when they asked us to do the Coalfield vs. Clay County game for them. Said that it was the only way I was going to be able to broadcast the game since someone else was pending.

I'll do you one better. Here is a link to the show. https://boxcast.tv/view/coaches-corner-with-joe-gaddis-618974

Each District has a set of by-laws and have their own rules for breaking ties. I know our district used the SEC method for 3-way ties. " 2. Three-Team Tie (or more): If three teams (or more) are tied for a division title, the following procedure will be used in the following order: (Note: If one of the procedures results in one team being eliminated and two remaining, the two-team tiebreaker procedure as stated in No. 1 above will be used): A. Combined head to head record among the tied teams; B. Record of the tied teams within the division; C. Head to head competition against the team within the division with the best overall Conference record (divisional and non divisional) and proceeding through the division (multiple ties within the division will be broken from first to last and a tie for first place will be broken before a tie for fourth place); D. Overall Conference record against non divisional teams; E. Combined record against all common non divisional teams; F. Record against the common non divisional team with the best overall Conference record (divisional and non divisional) and proceeding through other common non divisional teams based on their order of finish within their division; and G. Best cumulative Conference winning percentage of non-divisional opponents (Note: If two teams' non-divisional opponents have the same cumulative record, then the two-team tiebreaker procedures apply. If four teams are tied, and three teams' non-divisional opponents have the same cumulative record, the three-team tiebreaker procedures will be used beginning with 2.A.);

Anyone know the status of the HSF Database? I'd love to get all the information they had and get one going if he doesn't want to continue it. Anyone know who the contact person was?

Well, it’s not back and it’s July 10, 2018. Wish it would come back. I would pay for access if money a the issue. That is such a great information tool for preparing for Broadcasts.

Boys only, looking for as many as 5 games. Willing to travel if not too far out of East Tennessee. Please contact Head Coach Daniel Byrd at 865-435-7332 or email at byrdd@mcsed.net. Willing to play up in competition. Will need to be after the first week of December.

I know that in District 4 everyone is still playing EXCEPT Coalfield. Their game has been canceled vs. Sweetwater (Senior Night). Will not be made up. Last game played was February 5th.

The Oneida at Coalfield game has been rescheduled to Thursday, February 4th. JV at 5pm, 6:30pm girls, 8pm boys. Coalfield's remaining schedule 1/25 at Sweetwater 1/26 Sunbright 1/29 at Oliver Springs 2/2 at Oneida 2/4 Oneida 2/5 at Jellico 2/8 Sweetwater 2/9 Karns And going back to the GCA comment about playing when there is no school. Today is an example of that...no school in Morgan County because of the icy back roads in Sunbright, but we had 1/2" of snow Friday (if that) and it was all gone by Saturday for the most part. As you can see we already have 2 of the final 3 weeks with 3 games in it...if you start postponing games now, there's about no way you can make them up. You have to start dropping games. So it's a matter of HAVE to now. Just like last years district tournaments...we don't want to lose out on them.

Coach K just tweeted that the game was still on. Retweeted Paul Kamikawa (@coachk2345): Grace at Rockwood will be played as of now. Boys at 3:30, girls at 5:00. No B-team game. Students get in free today. ‪#‎Truth‬

To answer your questions the best I know the answers: 1. If they weren't on the books that night they will not be able to play. 2. Injuries are part of the game. Unfortunately, they happen and you hope both teams are healthy before and after. 3. We have 2 of the 3 same officials. Lance Treadway can't be there that night, so another official has been assigned. 4. We have to pay the officials $25 each. Security also. But this is why we are having it after a Middle School game, to help alleviate some of the costs. Hope that helps you.

You're probably right. They normally do have the advantage over District 4.

You missed the total point! But we will shut up and keep winning. And I do believe that Meigs DID choose where to play, I think the TSSAA gave them the choice to stay Double A or move down to Single A. I think they were real close to the cut off limit. And just like you talked about the AAA team that beat them...bigger schools have a bigger advantage...it's simple. Not making excuses...we play 3 AAA games this year, 3 AA games as well, so we don't try to back down from the bigger competition.

You know, I would hope that Meigs is better than everyone else because they're 2 or 3 times bigger than most of the Morgan County schools. Coalfield has 170 students in high school, you might have 1/2 boys, 1/2 girls, that leaves 85 boys to play 3 sports, and not every kid plays sports. A school of 500 kids would probably have 250 male athletes to choose from. So they should be better than the smaller schools. And the private school debate is not one I want to start on! Yes Harriman is a very good team and both teams had played 3 straight days so legs were an issue. But Coalfield never gave up, was down 18 but went up as many as 11. The stats for the game were almost identical, so you may say that Harriman is better than Coalfield...but they sure looked about even stat wise. Coalfield is down 1-starter and has another one with a bad knee. They went from being 10 or 11 deep down to 7 or 8 deep with a lot of freshman and sophomores. So don't count Coalfield out yet!

That was a power savings plan that was put in a few years ago. All the Coke machines, the lights, are all on motion detectors...if no movement, they turn off. The Central Office has a computer that controls the climate at all the schools as well...none of that control is at the schools. We can turn the thermostat 3 degrees in either direction, but we can't turn it on or off and if it's set for 80, 3 degrees is not going to help much. I'm hoping they start changing that some, however I went in the gym last night for middle school game and it was hot in there again...and it's not heat on, just body temperature rise.

Nope! What happened was that the Central Office didn't turn the air on as requested and it was about 80-85 in the gym with people in there. Hot and humid! So someone propped a door open and what happens when you mix cold air with hot humid air? Condensation!!! The floor was slick...it's happened before. They have to start leaving the AC on or give us control of it. Some button pusher could have cost the county MILLIONS In a lawsuit because they were trying to save a few dollars by turning the AC up to 78 or higher. But it's happened on our older floor as well. Hot humid air and cold air don't mix.

Parker McKinney had 16 points, 16 rebounds, 10 assists and 2 blocks for his 3rd Triple Double of the season and his 2nd consecutive. The kid is good for 15-20 points by just being on the floor. He's either creating a shot for himself or drawing help side defense and dumping it off for another assist. He really is as good as advertised. I guarantee any coach in the district or region would love to have him on their team!

Please get your facts straight before you post nonsense like this!!!! The fight was between two students from Clinton...NO ONE FROM COALFIELD was involved! Then two parents got involved. As this fight got closer to our bench, I told the boys to get up and move to the other side of the court to avoid having ANY involvement if it spilled out of the stands. When the officials called the game, we sent them STRAIGHT to the locker room. There was no bad blood between the two teams as they circled and held hands and prayed for Austin just 10 minutes before all of this happened. Again, I ask that you get all of the facts BEFORE you post! We don't need this kind of nonsense out there. And yes...I'll tell you who I am, I don't hide behind a facade on message boards. This is Brad Jones, assistant boys coach at Coalfield and GM of BBB Communications, LLC. in Oak Ridge.

It's always hard to win at Wartburg. They always find a way to win at home.

Don't blame him one bit!!!

I think he was asked not to be back. But I could be wrong. We (Coalfield) play them in a HOF game on 11/17.

So who is Tellico's new coach? Grace will be the biggest team in Single A, sounds like, at least in East Tennessee.

Coalfield High School boys basketball team will be hosting a play day on November 7th. Team entry fee is $50 to cover cost of officials. You will play a total of 3 games. Open to girls teams as well. We will play 4 - 10 min quarters with a running clock. Clock will stop last 2 min of 4th qtr. All freethrows will be 1 shot. Total of 3 timeouts per game. Regular Bonus and Double Bonus would apply. We will do our best to accommodate scheduling requests but cannot promise preferred scheduling requests.
