It shouldn’t be a rule in the first place, and you act like anyone even follows it. You can just say you “moved” and or use a fake address, and the TSAA will never come down to check. No one likes the rule, and no one even follows it. Why is it a rule in the first place?

OK that doesn’t answer the question at all but yes, if a student wants and feels like they can get a better chance by going to another school academically why is it so shamed upon athletically.

Well, I don’t know what you want to high school, but it may have started in the Knoxville area before it spread to other counties.

I can’t believe the defense coordinator is already leaving. I would imagine he's going for a head coaching job. I don’t even think he’s graduated from UT yet, which is kind of crazy. He had things moving in the right direction for that mountaineers defense. It's going to be a hard task to replace him, but I’m sure it could be done.

Just because they are defending one of the best high school boys coaches in the state doesn’t make them a “bulldog”

Nothing is confirmed as of now, but I’m sure I will hear something before the end of the school year.

Well, still, even if he doesn’t, there's been many other assistant coaches hired in the Knoxville area over the years that run training programs, not just in football and basketball. I have no problem with it, it’s a strategy of the game. What can I say, but the fact that the TSAA got on us about it, but it’s looking like it’s going to let Knoxville Catholic slide, at least as of right now, should speak volumes to everyone in the Tennessee area. There’s something special going on there, and it’s really flying under the radar.

I don’t think it’s against the rules to hire someone who runs a training program. A lot of schools have done it, Cleveland etc.. the TSAA just had to pick on Bearden for some reason, every school whom hires a person who runs a training program does it to recruit players from the training program.

TSAA said him being on the coaching staff and running the training program made ann unfair advantage so they made him move on. Is that better?

We hardly threw at all and if we did throw over 70% of them, we’re just wide receiver screens…

How did this turn into an Oak ridge thread?

How many kids go to Oak Ridge and how fast is it growing?

Or how about just a fan? What is it? Are you upset your coach couldn’t get his cats out of coming to Bearden, even though we all know he tried so hard. I guess you could say the cats out of the bag now

Boosters paying fans? Never heard of it.

If I was a hav fan I would be saying that too.

Fan and aren’t u a HVA booster?

Farragut

They better starting paying me then.

I am? News to me.

You call yourself a Tennessee fan? Are u a Insider? Outsider? or just jock sniffer? get real lol

I’ve known people who have been following Lady Dawgs basketball since Holly Warlick played point guard for us, and they said it’s been a thing for a while, maybe not a fist pump but a simple handshake or just a nod of appreciation. It’s always been a thing to acknowledge the referees and people at the score tables. I even knew about some players who used to fist bump or high-five the entire student section before games, so the fan part has already happened, sort of.

I actually think Bearden will probably lose the game at Cleveland, but I still expect them to win the region saying they beat Maryville.

Upset? I'm delighted by this news that potentially one of the best recruiting prospects in a while coming out of Knoxville could be coming to Bearden High School, but when it rains, it pours if you catch me when I’m putting down.

I have ties to the athletic department. I don’t know why you expect me to ask him as if he’s going to have the answer if Young wants to come here for whatever the reason is, that’s his decision. I don’t know anything about him, I don’t know his family, I don’t know his mom, I don’t know his dad or brothers or sisters but I do know one of his family members coaches on the Bearden staff. I couldn’t tell you who it is, and I couldn’t tell you anything about the relationship or if they even talk. What I care about is whom wears maroon and grey/white on Friday nights, but to make you happier, I will inform you if I hear anything, which usually I do, but in this case I have not yet, but I will keep my ears open.

I’m aware who the proclaimed “crick neck” is I just rather we go by real names instead of giving nicknames if we’re going to spread false information.
