  1. Yes. It is now. Announced today. Entire county has known for 2-3 weeks.
  2. WARREN. And it has nothing to do with talent pool.
  3. So I actually didn’t realize Rankin wasn’t originally from Mville. I left when I was younger and came back after he left and I was still young and not paying much attention to my surroundings. I remember He was just spoken of and regarded very highly. Point being Warren Co runs the same. From politics to HS sports. The main point being nobody on this thread would tolerate a record like the current LP coach. Talent? She’s had these girls since they could drinble, Not to mention the talent that team has had over her tenure. She’s defeated. She had her shot. Bottom line, she’s never gonna be better than a mediocre head coach and heaven forbid the future AD.
  4. I’d submit the name Rankin. A hometown boy run out of coaching in Warren and goes on to win about a million state championships. I’d also submit names like Marino, Ted Williams, Ewing, Bailey....loads of talent that never won the big one. Coaches are fired all the time at every level with plenty of talent on respective teams. Maybe in 6AAA there is more talent but I’d submit her over all record over her tenure as justification. It’s the mindset there in Warren and it starts at the top. She can’t coach defense and she can’t mold leaders and she can’t get them past being a 10 game win season in the last 5 years. What team or fan base in any sport in any decade would be ok with a 500 season year in and year out without a coaching change. Certainly not Cookeville. Triple threat is hers and some other Cookeville coach. The younger T threat is coached by high schoolers or recently graduated appointed by her. My niece said there is a Gold Basketball AAU State Championship basketball in 6AAA made up of Warren/White/Cookeville/Crossville and coached by an outsider. Hmmmm.
  5. Warren Co LP’s need a regime change. 31 points against Stone and a freshman scores like 8 of those. Enemic offense. No defense. 1 and done in tourney. Family says Coach P has had this group since middle school. Suppose to be the successful culmination of all she is. ZERO not Shero.
  6. So, I was home for the holidays. Some family wanted to go watch Warren Co play, I wasn’t one of them but for the sake of family time, I attended. Warren Co vs Coffee Co last night. Lady Pioneers: the Rains girl can score at will. As long as any D is applied to the LP 3 pt shooter, she’s a non factor. Wide open, maybe. Point guard is efficient. The D1 BIG? Mama said if you can’t say anything nice, don’t say anything. I saw one good hook and a lot of no help defense. Meaning, she was no help on defense. I dont see what the hubbub is - looks to be coddled if I had to say. Of course, it starts with the Coach. They play uninspired because the coach is uninspiring. Unmotivated because the coach is unmotivated. 45 seconds on clock, down by 7 and no fouls - let them run clock out. They team looked hopeful at the start but played without enthusiasm like, we hope our plan works tonight? Same plan she’s had since she started coaching with much the same result. That program needs a shot of adrenaline or they’ll risk not winning another game this season based on what I saw.
  7. I think it’s really just his observation of the LPs and the fact that loaded with experience and a D1 Big, seems that Maybe they should be playing better ball. While that coach there has been running the same offense for like 100 years, She has little or no understanding of DEFENSE. I’d submit every game she’s ever coached in on tape as evidence. She understands fundamentals but any growth a player experiences in that program comes from themselves in the off season. She’ll never be better than a mediocre head coach.

    Heard another asst coach dismissed from Lady Pioneers basketball debacle. Replacement is soccer coach not sure she ever played b-ball. Par for the nightmare this program has become. Those girls deserve a better HS sports experience.

    Surely not taking the team to those 2 schools to showcase her white ball players. All objectivity lost. What happened to Trevecca that was so interested? Came, saw mediocre play, left. Of course, they’ll take 6ft average player over most players any day of week. Hope coaches dream team senior season turns into a last year coaching nightmare. O no no no I’m a Rocket Man.

    Substandard performance rewarded. You'll see. Maybe not next year but as soon as there's an opening at HS these 2 cogs will inch forward into new roles and the paper will say something like "great leadership" "visionary" "ability to shape young lives" blah blah blah. She won't quit (get promoted) till next years team is a bad memory and now that there's only 5 teams in her district she might go to a regional game twice in a row. Small victories I guess. Commensing countdown down engines on.

    That was a question hence the "more violations?" None according to the TSSAA. More of a extremely bad judgement used. They know. Heck, everyone knows. Annual budget increases to buy more brooms to sweep it all under the rug.

    Nothing surprises me. Glad mine graduated and moved on as did I. Same as the softball coach shoulda been had what happened anywhere else he woulda been fired that day. One has to wonder about the decision making process of the AD. No worries, I'll refer to previous post - he'll b promoted to Principle soon and she'll take AD position. Watch and see.

    WC LP Coach understands X's and O's. She has ZERO leadership ability as well as no idea about developing basketball talent. She lost more talent than she retained. She has 1 year left with the dream team she's been waiting on for 7 years. READ THE TEA LEAVES AS THIS IS HOW IT WORKS IN WARREN CO SPORTS: AD gets promoted to Principle....she takes AD job and washes her hands of her mediocre stint and continues to bring mediocrity to WCHS sports. Planet earth is blue and there's nothing I can do.
  15. Ladies and Gentlemen; news flash: Your newly branded "Coach of the Year" won that game. I believe my mom could have jumped over there given what she saw the first half - taken W in for the W.
  16. Riddle me this? Can Cookeville beat Cumberland? Will Rhea actually want to play in Tournament? White beats Warren right? Can Stone beat any of those top 3 teams? So, safe to say....those 4 heading to Regionals?
  17. Wellwellwell. Here you are. D6AAA. Cookeville won toss. Rhea won toss. Stone finishes 4. White finishes 3 and Warren flatlining. So do I understand this correctly ???? White/Warren. Stone/Rhea. Cross and Cook get byes?
