Okay, so here's the deal. I have watched the posts on this site for the last year now and it's really amusing. As a former Assistant Coach from East Lit, it really was a disgrace to watch CPA get crowned from the beginning of the season and other teams picked to finish higher than EAST. In my first year of working with HS basketball, I was able to take a less talented team and teach them how to play with heart and against everyone else. What disappointed me the most was the fact that EAST LIT was the ONLY HS represented in Middle TN and received NO PRESS COVERAGE OR SUPPORT from our own city. Even to the point that I approached Rodney Dunigan, who stood next to me @ the State Championship game, and asked him WHY EAST LIT has yet to be interviewed. He could not offer ANY explanation whatsoever. This all leads to my point. EAST LIT achieved because I preached to them that all we had were each other. In case you are wondering, YES, I am a young AA male that was able to get my players to believe in themselves when no one else did. They played for each other and for ME. They will return to fight valiently, sadly, they won't reach their potential without me on the bench. CPA is the only team, IMO, that will have all cylinders clicking. Whether people love or hate them, they are the team to beat. Take this from someone who has studied every team night after night. CPA deserves to win it this year because they play for one another. That is the one thing that I admired most this year. Shaking hands and speaking personally to Jalen and Craig, they were fine, humble young men and I wish them well.
