catsvoice why don't you lighten up. This site is decicated to speculation. BTW, I am sure a call was made to Rankin, if only for advise, does anyone know his recommendation? Had to be either Britton or Snow

"Smith is best known for his work with Ezell Harding where he took that program to the state tournament in 2003" who the heck calls it the state tournament? Makes me miss Nunley. Smith seems to bounce around quite a bit, anyone have thoughts on why things did not work out for him in East TN? I have a feeling a couple of ex Riverdale coaches are on the short list.

Each time we go through the process of selecting a new coach, the first name mentioned is Coach Rankin. If coach Rankin was ever interested in coming back to WC, he would have done so years ago. I suggest that we do the next best thing and hire from the Rankin coaching tree. That strategy seems to have worked out well for Oakland. We must also support our new coach. If we want be competitive with the top schools, then we must offer competitive pay for both the HC and assistants. We must allow the coach to bring in a reasonable number of assistants, and if we are not already doing this, we should have a dedicated weight and conditioning period each school day I want thank coach Madewell for taking this program to higher level. We all remember those dark 0-10 years that proceeded him. Chris is good man and I am sure he made a positive impact on the young men that went through his program.
