Maybe when the baseball coach doesn't win a game the school board will take notice and hire a new AD and new baseball coach.

orngnblk, I completely agree with you! It all started with the AD running off great coaches in muti sports. I'm a fan of the Panthers because I played at Lenoir city and graduated in 2001. It's would just help if the AD would hire coaches that actually knew something about the sport they was hired to coach. i just wish someone would take responsibility for what's going on at Lenoir city.

I understand their district, but they have lost to 3 teams lower in classification and William Blount was not very good! So that was at least 3 games already they should have won. The district they are in can't be an excuse forever.

This years team will be the first team in school history to go winless on the season. This does not even begin to describe the talent level at Lenoir city but the incompetence that the school Ad and coaching staff has! It is embarrassing to watch them coach. I feel bad for a great group of kids!

I love how you don't respond when you find out you don't know as much as you thought you did. Prob one of the know it all parents that has helped Greg B turned that program into garbage

Knoxfrog, I promise you I know more about basketball and the situation with joe and Hayden then you! The hiring of joe's AAU coach helped, but the hiring of Epperson, and the two assistants were the main reason. (Exact words from the parent) so, knowing where to be on offense and defense is the signs of a good coach? You sounds like a 5&6 year rec league coach. You need to go watch an Epperson practice then go watch Wells at cak or Blevins at Bearden or Elridge at Maryville. It's night and day difference! He is out of his league, needs to go back to single A girls basketball. Execution on offense and defenses would be good signs of a well coached team and they haven't showed much at all! Their timing on offense and fundmentals on defense are missing in every game!

A lot of people didn't like Mitchell when he was here but he was a very good teacher of the game. No doubt Dorsett should of got the job back when they gave it to Coach Gray. It's just been pretty hard to watch this program the past couple of years. And now he hires a coach that might be a good guy but is not a good coach and probably the worst hire of the past couple.

There was a good group of talented freshman there last year that would of been able to play with the top teams in their district in another year or two, but they started with 6 or 7 now down to 4 and the 2 with the most potential is at Harriman because they weren't gonna play for that coaching staff. You just can't afford to run your best players off!

I couldn't agree more! Both Shane and Wendell were very good coaches! Now GB rents out his houses and apartments to his coaches. Plus hiring his relatives that have no basketball coaching experience or anything. It will be a while, I just something could change being an alum.

It is an embarrassment to see the direction that program is going! What is it gonna take for a clean sweep of the AD and coaches in the basketball program? They have to schedule low level AA competition just to get a few wins. Josh Epperson wasn't a very good girls coach and an even worse boys coach!
