I will have to say that the Whittle Springs Basketball team last year played very well in my judgement. The were very athletic and played hard, that school set a school record in wins last year when Coach Dodgen coached there. Yes, Michael has played basketball before, he played at Gatlinburg-Pittman and then went on to Tech where he was a student assistant for a couple of years under Coach Worrell, he also has coached numerous AAU Teams with the Tennessee Stars organzation, and has done well there working with great coaches such as Lesley Smith at Livingston and Lynn Burkey who is the assistant at Farragut High School. 4A Fan I don't know you don't want to know you at all but the name calling and other things are uncalled for because unless Michael did something to you I don't understand. All he does is work hard and care about his kids and do the best possible job that he can do all the time that he does something, he loves his job and works hard all the time. What Queen bee said is true there is know way that SCHS will win championships this year but they are getting better each day of the week and playing wit a lot of confidence and that says a lot about him, I would love to see 4A Fan come on up and coach this team and lets get on here and judge your performance night in and night out, it is easy to sit at a computer and say how stupid, dumb, or whatever comments you want to use about him behind a computer desk, and if some of the posts are true about you, did you not play football at UT? If the people at SCHS are proud of him so be it, I don't think you being in Knoxville has anything to do with SCHS and if bashing Michael makes you feel better go ahead and do that, but he has done a good job here.
