Hardaway does have the title of head coach. he's had that since Merriweather passed away. #doitfordez if you have not heard. His son Nik #0 is one of the starting guard. He's not the biggest but he has heart and plays with a chip on his shoulder. Just imagine losing your dad to a long drawn out cancer battle while your in the mist of your freshman season playing Varsity ball trying to make the playoffs. East really pulled together after him passing last feb. and those boys grew up fast. They were inspired then and still are now but way more talent. They were a good team last year but making the state semis surprised many eventually losing to a good Brentwood team.
