All the basketball talent leaving Memphis to play their college basketball? They shouldn't have to! The University of Memphis should be considered home!!!!!!!

Would someone share this information with Coach Calipari?

Congrats Coach Stephenson! Isn't Franklin your wife's hometown? Why has Emily decided not to move to Franklin with you?

SLS, Jarrod Bain is the fastest kid in the school. He will run with any of the Waverly players on the floor. I wished Jarrod would have played football. His physical talent would be impressive on turf!

Add 6'5" Jarrod Bain from Camden Central High School. Quiet, respectful "A" student who is a wonderful role model to young kids who aspire to play the game. When he laces them up its almost as if he goes into that phonebooth and comes out with his uniform on. I say this because he's very mild mannered off the court. Cause when the ball gets tossed up he becomes a very aggressive player who plays very aggressively. 6'1" 8th grader played the point guard slot because that was what he was asked to do for his team. He has worked hard with the strength shoe and weights. Nicknamed "Superman" in junior high because of his demeanor from off court - on court. Weakness - has to develop consistent shot behind the arc. Last season range was 16-17 ft. It is difficult to keep him from getting to the basket. Still growing he will graduate at 17 years old. Because he's very quiet off the floor, playing in an average 2A district he's really been overlooked. Not to mention coach's son graduated from last year's club. Offensive sets were ran for his son. Granted he was a very good shooter, can coach really afford not to run set plays for a player has been physically blessed! Even with those circumstances the unselfish Bain was named his District Player of the year. Averaged double-double for the season. Probably close to triple-double because he's a good passer! Vertical leap over 40 inches - and a white kid at that! If he develops 20 ft jumper you have found a much quicker but smaller Larry Bird! I would be interested in hearing from any of their opponents who haved played against him!

Lake disappeared yesterday in a scrimmage against a Kentucky school. He was shut down by a 6'3" ninth grader. He had 11 or 12 pts all in the 1st quarter. He also had one dunk. Yesterday he settled for the 20 ft. jumpshot. He never penetrated the lane nor did he attack the boards. I'm sure he's the real deal! Coach Rudesill appeared to have pulled him out maybe for not hustling! The 6'7" Olajuwon ? did not play well yesterday either. Oh yeah the other team had a 6'9" 270 lb. kid who gave him problems. Olajuwon will not matchup against someone taller than him on most nights. I was most impressed with the strength of Bolivar's players. They were very strong ripping away rebounds on missed shots. Also I think Bolivar was surprised the Fulton County matched their quickness level. In fact they probably defended better as a team down the stretch in winning the game over Bolivar by 4 points. Hopefully Rudesill got his teams attention! I can't decide if Bolivar was being lackadaisial or the Fulton County has the potential to make it to Rupp Arena in March. I wish Rick all the best this season because he ia a class act! If anyone else was at Dyersburg yesterday please offer your thoughts.

Obviously you don't have a clue! You must not know Coach Cates nor do you understand his baseball past? Why would you pretend to be, "The Beave?" Why do you hate the baseball program at UTM?

yes email me at bases2run@yahoo.com give me info and I'll call you or email you back you call me. I have a good friend whose looking to go to a different school. He keeps me informed on what he checks in to.

Fullcourtpress, I never said he built a program. I said he has won most everywhere he has been. Newbern - 32-8 including 2 county championships and Best of the Northwest (TN) Champions '92. Ridgemont 15-4 first ever boys Obion County championship. Camden 30-6 - River Conference Champions both years. (2 years) - Two 4A TNT appearances. I think he deserves a chance to lead a high school program somewhere or at least an assistant role. He has paid his dues. He is constantly working to improve his ability and put himself around strong teachers of the game. I used to coach with him at a former school. He is not the bad guy you may think. Often times former umpires are not liked very well. Did you know he used to umpire summer league, high school and college baseball? Does that have any reason why you feel that way? Explain your opinion

They have discussed the job with all three. Marty would be the right kind of blue collar fit for that program. He has won everywhere he has been. What have they got to lose? He could also help Coach Fishel as an assistant football coach. Do you think they would really give him an opportunity? Or are they afraid he might, just might succeed?

Coach Maxedon are you leaving Selmer Middle? I student taught at McNairy Central in 1988 with Coach Horton. Math and history were taught by Coach Roberts. He had three blocks and basketball. Sounds ruff doesn't it! Principal Chuck West is a wonderful person to be around. Sean Stephenson is one of the most underrated coaches in West Tennessee! You would love working with him.

Yes, there is an assistant girls basketball job at Dresden High. I may could help you with this job. Tell your husband I said hi. I ate supper with him at Applebees in Dyersburg awhile back. We discussed working together next year. Contact me I can help you with this job.
