Ok, I just remember someone on here calling you out last year stating that the assistant coach got a tech that cost them the game. Also, I am a student at Oak Ridge, played football but left basketball for everyone else. I follow the area b/c I love the sport.

Mocs30, Arent you the coach on Powell's sideline that got a tech late in the game and cost you a win against Cental? May want to control yourself....coach!

Yes I am.

The only thing holding Halls back is their coaching and size. Also, I heard Hargis wasn't going to play basketball this year. Is that true? Dont know how a team with 3 winning seasons over the last 10 years can be underestimated?

First, good luck to Catholic at the state tourney. I root for all local teams. However, I will say it like I have said it before. Catholic is not the best team on the floor every night. They have have 1 stud who can shoot the fool out of it "IrishBBall's Son", 1 bruiser and 4 - 5 role players that play they role very well. They also have a very good coach that executes a game plan and takes the air out of the ball. They have a chance in any game they play b/c of their execution. Again, good luck Catholic and I dont care if it takes a string of games in the 30s as long as the W lights up in Catholics side.

stranger things have happened, in fact, Wheeler High School down in GA got beat the other day. I think they were like 5 time defending state champ and undefeated.

If Beau Brown shoots the ball the way he did in teh two games I watched, Alcoa will win. If Beau shoots the ball well however, Central should win. Luckily the games arent played on paper and one thing that Alcoa has going for them is they have played tougher opponents and are used to being in close games. That should help Alcoa. Also, who cares how many D 1 players have signed to play whereever. A good core group of 5 guys with good talent will normally outweigh one stud.

bigcatt2, this is kinda off subject but I have some questions for you. You seem very insightful and know what you are talking about. You are active on a lot of topics and give good opinions. If you dont mind me asking, what is your basketball background? Played in high school, college or coached anywhere. Sorry for the random questions but I just like to "pick" basketball minds and see what had led to their opinions. Also, after reading several of your posts, I take it you dont like Coach Lambert at Central?

Bruce Pearl got kicked out of the game last night. He was yelling and screaming and making a scene. The ref stopped the game and made him leave. He got up waved and smiled at the crowd and then left. Once he left the building, the game resumed play. Why would the news sentinel print this, to show that the coach made an ###### of himself? BigCat1, this did happen, just because you arent in the loop doesnt mean it didnt happen. All the vols people, listen to sports talk in the area, it was talked about all day. Call Vol Calls and ask him yourself. Im sorry you dont believe the truth. Next thing you are going to say the Vols football recruiting class was phenomanal. Go and crawl in your orange and white checkered board hole.

Bruce's son plays for West. I cannot believe some people are condoning and applauding Bruce's behavior. And yes I have seen many fans thrown out of games, not just Bruce. His behavior actually rivaled that of Buzz Peterson's wife, when she yelled at UT students and other players during AAU tournaments because they were fouling UT signees. I just hope this isnt signs of things to come from Bruce. He should be a "pillar" of the community and held to hire standards then your average fan.

Chris Conner goes for 25 and Powell wins by 4. I cant wait for this one to tip off.

Got last night off of work and decided to make the trip to West High School. Man, what a good game as West pulled it out in overtime. West looks like they are peaking at the right time before the district tourney. Everyone better watch out. On a side note, Bruce Pearl, Steve's dad, got ejected from the game and escorted out of the gym. That is real classy and I would be embarrassed if my father got thrown out of the gym. Not a good "image" to portray for kids that look up to UT basketball. Anyways, big game tonight....Powell and Halls. Anyone else going as I will see you there!

Lee has two younger brothers that are twins. Lee himself is not a twin.

Bert was also saying that Lee Humphrey of Florida cant shoot in the broadcast Saturday night. Therefore, I hold no merit in what this guy says. Parton can play, I just think he would be better going to a d 2 or 3 and playing instead of chancing it as a walk on at D1.

Also, one other thing to the person that said the parton kid can play division 1......he can shoot but will not end up at d1. He would be better going to a d2 or d3 and playing.
