First of all you were stating opinions not facts. Saying Farragut lost is a fact saying they choked is your opinion. And if you take HS sports so seriously to forget they are kids competing then maybe this isn't the sport for you and you should stick to criticizing paid professionals. But that's not a FACT just my OPINION.

ladadad is crazy anyone on this board knows that and he is too crazy to be a FHS fan. Also we are talking about HS girls and its pretty class-less to say a bunch of great kids "choked" and always "choke when it counts " say that about the coach but leave the kids out of it..... I'm also not sure that losing to a State Championship runner up team in Sub State is choking! Think before you post !

I guess it depends on what you decide is "a long time coach" maybe you should research those schools a little better (the Farragut coach is starting his 5th year has HC). Also, its very common for a school without "Talent" to say that's why their team loses and that a school with talent wins solely because of it and that it has nothing to do with coaching. I would hate to be at a school where i don't think my coach can improve my players from their freshman year to their senior year and just hope for better recruiting classes.

Just heard that a basketball coach in West Knoxville is being offered an administrator position to leave their current job and go to Powell. It's a high profile school.

They have a few good kids, couple of solid guards and a very big post who is a blocking machine. Their District is really really weak which makes it easier to compete.

He took them to the Region Semi-Finals his first or second year. I remember watching them beat Halls in the Region first Round. I have no idea of the record but it was probably pretty good to get that far.

Just saying what I heard. Norris did one heck of a job with his teams at South Doyle and did that job with not very much talent.

Good Point! That's a tough record to put on a resume. I like the sound of John Fisher, he would do well there. However, he seems to really like Fulton.

I heard that the top two applicants are Former South-Doyle Coach A. Norris and a dark horse candidate of D. Ball from Catholic are near the top of the list.

Anyone hear who the candidates are for the girls job?

I hear the administration has talked to the old Knoxville West heard coach about the position.

Coach Anderson is a great coach and an even better person. Did good things for the Gibbs Community and did it the right way. Gibbs is a diamond in the rough, not elite talent, but you can get some good kids that work very hard.

Sounds like an impressive stat line. However, I think the OP was referring to the PrepXtra Sophomore of the Year award which is for the Knoxville News Sentinels coverage area.

As stupid as Ladaddad is 3ball4ever is just as big of a Lady Admirals hater! I have always believed that if it can't be your team you might as well root for your district. Glad to know 3ball4ever has no respect for the accomplishments of the Farragut program getting to their 3rd Substate in 5 years and 2nd consecutive and all you can say is "lets go Mo east and Science Hill" . You are just as bad as Ladaddad and are a prime example of what is wrong with anonymous message boards. What in the world is wrong with congratulating Bearden for winning District, Jai Jai for MVP and wishing Farragut luck in trying to get to the State? It is sad for you...very sad.

Farragut boys defeats Bearden on Bearden's own court in an elimination game. Great job by the boys for sticking together and always fighting the entire season. An amazing coaching job by Chris Cool. Hope they enjoy their trip to the region!
