This is boring. You and your friend just look me up.

Sources close to the program have introduced a new name to the mix. Coach Carbo. He seems to know everything there is to know about Central basketball and Chameleons.

Into my head. LMAO. You give yourself way too much credit Carbo. But at least you finally made a valid point. McMinn Fire was started at about the same time that Joe Young came on board. Both were a big reason for the program getting stronger. And compared to you, Johnny Morgan is a legend. Pardon the sarcasm, but do you really have friends on here.

P.S.S. Do you even know what a fragmented sentence is? Doubtful. Why would someone give full credit to a coach for winning a gold ball? I guess the girls that actually played the game had nothing to do with the win. And whether or not you hate the program or not makes no difference to me. Trust me, I'm not going to lose any sleep over it. But I don't think I have ever heard anything positive about this program in any of your posts. Everybody hates a WINNER. Oh, and don't forget to check for any misspelling issues or grammatical errors in my post before you reply.

Your obviously pretty close to the program since you know so much about it. But you hate it so bad. Are you a dis-gruntled parent or what. Lol. I never took anything away from Joe Young because I know how important he was to the program. He is a great coach who will be a success wherever he goes. One gold ball is one gold ball. More than most programs have. But to take anything away from the success of Johnny Morgan in the past thirty-five years is ignorant. Hope I didn't spell anything wrong in this post! And yes I would say that most people view Central as a powerhouse in AA.

I wish I was as smart as you are! Congrats on your achievements!

Who knows. I was told that she is still un-decided. Best of luck to Coach Johnson no matter what she decides to do.

Maybe the money isn't the only thing that is important to her. Also, if the rumor is true and Coach Morgan does step down in a couple of years, why not learn from a Hall of Fame coach with the opportunity to take over a powerhouse program at your alma mater in a few years.

I could care less who is after this young lady. Just let the facts speak for themselves. 65.1% career field goal percentage for her entire career. If I read it correctly, that is 5th nationally all-time, not just this year. Wow, congrats to Bob77 on this young ladies outstanding career. I wish her well at the next level. Don't understand how anyone could take this thread and put any negativity into it. Again, Congrats to this outstanding young lady! That is my 2 cents from 5AA. Go Chargerettes.

I just don't agree with a parent yelling it out or even going to the coach and letting him know the signals. That's just my opinion. I think it takes away from the integrity of the game. The game should be decided between the confines of the playing fielde. The post that really blew my mind was the softball game where parents are allowed to sit behind the back stop and give the hitter pitch locations. Sure seems like an umpire or game official could do something to prevent this from happening. My two cents.

If it was the coaches or players that figured the signals out I would have said it was ok because that's just part of the game. But it was not. I am in total agreement with you. I do question the coach if this went on for an entire ball game or even an inning. It's not that difficult to change the signals up and I just wonder why they did not.

I will agree that many girls came to Central because of Joe Young. But as long as Central makes a strong hire, I don't think anything will change. I believe you will still see the same players come to Central Next year. Young will still work with the Fire program and it will continue to put out good, quality players. Yes, Centrals record was much better when Young came on board. But Johnny Morgan is a legend. Put two great coaches together and the results speak for themselves. The true winner here is Jeff Rice and TWC. You will not find another coach that can teach the game from a fundamental standpoint like Joe Young. I personally think that he could have named his ticket to many places but this was a good fit for him and his family. MC will miss him but they will be back and in the mix as usual.

Joe Young steps down at MC

This will be a challenge for MC with Joe Young stepping aside to persue a college coaching career. But I believe Johnny Morgan will find a suitable replacement and the Chargerettes will be just fine. Too much returning talent to not make some noise. Add that to the return of Myers, who missed the entire year due to shoulder surgery, plus a ton of incoming freshman, and I think the Chargerettes will make another run at the " Boro."

Who will be strong next year and why

Like all Central fans, I made some comments on the " call ." I never took away anything From CC as they played a great game and played their hearts out. And I also realize that MC got some questionable calls as well. It's a shame either team had to lose. I will say this. After the loss, many of our MC fans were rooting against CC. I am one of the few who wish Cannon would have won it all. Nothing wrong with losing to a state champion. I would like to congratulate the CC girls on an outstanding season. I take nothing away from CAK, but if the same team shows up in the "Boro" that played in the roundhouse a week ago, the end result would have been much different. I would doubt that CC has ever scored only 8 points in a half and it was too hard to overcome. I will end by saying I hope we meet again soon and I'm sure we will. As fans and parents, we should just let the girls battle it out on the floor and enjoy watching it. And lastly, as adults, tip your hat to the other team no matter what the outcome.

Totally agree with your comments. And I am sure we will meet again soon. No one can take away the fact that both of these teams played their hearts out and it's a shame there had to be a loser in this one. Good luck the rest of the way.

Well we meet again. I will not spell check you as you did me but you need it as well. Ashley Knox was a starter. Not sure about Young but she always got significant minutes. I will agree with you on Raper not being that involved. But this team had Adams. Definitely one of the best players that has ever come through the program. This team might not have been the best to have ever come through Central, but they have the prize that matters most! Hope I didn't misspell anything.

Oooh! Now Carbo is a spell checker 2. Know, oops, I mean no, I believe you think you know it all. Obviously you do not or you would never have used a word like chameleon in a basketball thread. Actually, your extremely laughable. I haven't made excuses for Centrals play. I said there was a bad call made. And there was. We can go on and on. Not a problem for me. I may just take this time and spell check all your previous posts for a mis-spelling. You obviously have way too much time on your hands. Oops, did I use the word too wrong. Please Carbo, let me know. I will be waiting in suspense.

First off, I gave CC credit for playing a great game and also said It was Centrals fault for not doing the things they needed to do. Obviously you are a CC fan who knows nothing about a referees job. Why do you think there is a scoreboard above each tunnel in every arena in the country. It's not only for the fans but the refs as well. What is your perspective. Do you think the trailing referee is going to be a foot from the shooter. If that's the case it's know wonder you couldn't see both. But step back from the play at the proper angle and wow, it's possible to see both. I cant believe it! Not sure about the boys coach. I do know this. LA-37 free throws. MC-20 free throws. Like I said. MC has no one to blame but themselves for being in that situation. But a good referee can do two things at once. Is it just to hard for you to accept that!

You are right, this happens everywhere and will continue. However, as mentioned in a previous post, Coach Young does not recruit. He is simply just a very talented coach. Add Young to the legendary Johnny Morgan and girls and parents flock to Central. I don't agree with some of the decisions these parents make because everyone cannot play. Personally I would want my daughter to go where she is going to get the earliest opportunity to play. I think many come just for the opportunity to be on a championship team whether they play or not. But I will end by saying they don't come because of recruiting, they come because of reputation, a testament to Coach Young.

The trailing official is taught to position himself where he is able to see the shooter and the clock. It's the same principle as an umpire being taught to position themselves where they can see an outfielder make a catch on a fly ball and the runner tagging up. It's been done like this for years by ordinary people. But I'll have to admit I've never seen a chameleon make a call before.

Thats an intelligent question. But from where the play originated from and where it ended up yes the trailing ref should have seen both. And surely out of three referees on an uncontested shot the right call should have been made. But as I said I take nothing away from CC. They played a great game. Any more questions?

Yes there are always a few that come from other places because they know the Fire's reputation. But as I said the majority are going to MC. I can't really comment on the younger ones so you may be right. I am mainly talking 7th and 8th grade.

Bottom line is CC is going to the "Boro" and MC is not. And i congratulate them. But unless you are the official that made the call how can you say what he heard or what he didn't. The gym was extremely loud and I would bet most people, including the official you mention, never heard the final buzzer. However lets just admit to the fact that the trailing official should have easily been able to see the ball in Jakes hands and the clock at 0.0 and that's where the true mistake was made. There was no one near the shooter so there was no chance of her being fouled on the shot so these 3 officials didn't have a whole lot to do at that particular moment. Central had their chances and have no one to blame but don't say this just proves the right team is playing in the glass house. Put CC in the same position and see how they would have reacted. It would have been no different.
