GoldBolt

Hey folks, this is the same person. Does anyone else do this? It almost like talking to yourself AFO (Blackburn), Why don't you post how it was setup for the local team to win? And, how do you know that the coaches were so impress. Did they tell you this? I always thought they couldn't comment on players until they sign with their school. So, if they were talking to you aren't they in direct violation of NC2A rules. Secondly, why would they risk talking to a nobody like you. Tell us which schools you say was so impress? Was it squeaky clean Vanderbilt or squeaky Duke (minus the lacrosse team) or was it violation ridden TSU? I bet anybody it's all made up, just like every other post you make. Again, please name the schools that you talking about? I have a steak dinner bet on the line. If you name the D-1 schools I will offer you a gift certificate for a steak dinner too.

AFO, I wasn't talkin to U?! Mind your own business you outside garden tool!!! Geez, with players from another planet and you won by three. I here the chants now, USA, USA, USA. BTW, is the coaching staff from outside space too. Now I understand your immature and childish behavior and posts.

Are you guys still having try-outs? If so, e-mail me at ewisdomtooth@yahoo.com. Also, do you guys practice on weekends?

Say What! I guess on paper their not. But that goes so show paper does burn and doesn't mean squat DUDE! R u sure Primm is on this team. I thought for sure he plays on the 17u team. R u accusing the Ballerz of cheatin or what? I heard from the Stallions coach they tried to play alot of outstate players this weekend. Do you know if this is true or not?

AFO (Blackburn) why would you reply to the Celtics coach when you two have spoken to each other already. And why is it you are involved with two different teams and provided distored information about both?

DUMB QUESTION! Read the topic before posting!

AFO, I guess you was on the crack pipe during the game. McAdoo had three block shots in the first two minutes of the game alone (SO STOP HATIN! B.). I can count at least ten block shots along with 10 plus rebounds (DON'T MAKE SH-T UP!) before he was undercut by that dirty player. I thought the referees should have thrown him out of the game for his cheap shot. This is the same boy who had several cheap shots in the blow game against the Black Knights yesterday morning. My cousin told me during that game #30 was going to get somebody hurt. For you to be a coach for the Ballerz and you to continue to allowed this boy to do this is f_ _ _d up! Always thought the Ballerz were better than this, but with you as coach (Hey, weren't you a coach with the Celtics last year? That's where I know #30 from!) I can see why the bulls_ _ _ continues! I also heard the Stallions coach tell some people how Ballerz had five players from three different states is only the reason they won. If this is true, then I agree with him and say the Thunder was the best Tennessee team in the tournament. I heard people say that the only reason your son played a few minutes in the game is because two outstate kids (who were in attendance) were not allowed to play in the tournament because they had to many out state players or something like that. They said the only reason your son is on the team is because you team hop as player/coach combo type thing. I do agreed with them that he should probably be playin on the Ballerz second team which would be a better fit for him at this level. Is it true you and your son has played on three different team so far this year? AMAZING! What's up with that! But after reading your post I can tell it's probably you and not your child decision. PS- How did you find out about the McAdoo health so soon? You posted at 10:30 am that's awful quick to know so much. Also, why would you posted it, that's his family business (unless they gave you the right to do so) which I doubt since he plays for the Thunder and not your team.

Tennessee Thunder 16u & 17u I hope you Thunder folks don't mind. I thought I even the playing fields and named some players from your teams that I have seen play or heard about from various sources. (Ex-UKM). Michael McAdoo, Tennessee Thunder 17U, (Antioch H.S.) top five statewide, Middle Tennessee's best player IMHO. Playing up a level has paid hugh dividends. Being recruiting by a host of major D-I schools. Listed by Scout.com, Rivals and other major recruiting services as one of Tennessee's top players. I heard that he was unstoppable in the Smoky Mountain Shootout. DeMonte Harper, Tennessee Thunder 17U, (Whites Creek H.S.) broke out last summer, silky smooth combo guard. Listed by Scout.com and Rivals as one of the nations top players. Being sought after by schools in the SEC, ACC, Big East and Big Ten among others. Wil Peters, Tennessee Thunder 17U, (Whites Creek H.S.) make or break summer. Althought he is a senior, still able to compete on summer circuit the right way. Scored 35 points in one game during the Riverdale Classic. Being sought after by mid-majors and D-II schools, good to see he's leaving his options open. E. J. Wilcox, Tennessee Thunder 17U, (Riverdale H.S.) lightning quick point guard. Sets up his teammates well, a old school point guard, has a awark looking shot, but very accurate from the the three point arc. Outstanding defensive player and will pick your pocket clean if you make a mistake. Matt Harris, Tennessee Thunder 17U, (Brentwood H.S.) pure spot up shooter, knowledge of the game is outstanding. Gives you 100% effort all the time. Top mid-major prospect. Marteicus Reed, Tennessee Thunder 17U, (McGavock H.S.) the quickest first step that I have seen in a long time. Outstanding leaper that has improve his game in a very short time. IMO, he will be the biggest surprise of the summer. He has the heart and the desire to be one of the best. Jon Kinman, Tennessee Thunder 17U, (Sycamore) Very mobile for a big man. Has a deadly 15 ft jump shot. Adjusting quite well to the AAU circuit. Becoming more dominant on the boards will be the key for him this summer. Joseph Coker, Tennessee Thunder 17U, (Cheatham Co) raw and inexperiece, but is improving from game to game. Has the proper work habits that is required to become a mid major to D-II prospect. Marcus Jefferson, Tennessee Thunder 16U, (LaVergne H.S.) this kid can really play the game. Well trained, can take you off the dribble with the best of them. Look for him to really take off this summer. Major D-I prospect without a doubt. Michael Williams, Tennessee Thunder 16U, (Antioch H.S.), streaky left hand shooter with speed and quickness to match, starting to pick it up his game defensively. Has the potential to be a D-I prospect, must continue to improve his defense. Keep a eye on him this summer. Kyle Upton, Tennessee Thunder 16U, (Antioch H.S.), another top player from Antioch H.S. Plays both guard positons with ease. Has top notch ball handling skills. Not afraid to dribble penatrate and mix it up in the paint. Has the potential to develop into a D-I prospect. Keep your eye open for him this summer too. Scott Newton, Tennessee Thunder 16U, (Harpeth H.S.), can play three positions, strong rebounder with a nice outside shot. He does all the little things that coaches love. Wins all the hustle point just about every game. Carlos Holder, Tennessee Thunder 16U, (Hillsboro H.S.), stocky little point guard. Can take you off the dribble or knock down the three. Stepped up and contribute for his school after several players were dismissed from the team. TJ Shelton, Tennessee Thunder 16U, (Hillsboro H.S.), good rebounder, will mix it up in the paint. Starting to become more active, look for him to bring it this summer and establish himself as one of Nashville's most improve sophomores. Justin Bather, Tennessee Thunder 16U, (LaVergne H.S.), talented player, can play multi-positions, will definitely improve this summer. Must gain more confidence. Jeremy Williamson, Tennessee Thunder 16U, (Antioch H.S.), Nice strong post player. Good rebounder with a nice touch. Has the physical attributes to become one of Nashville's top big man, the sky is the limit for him.

Good question! I didn't know the Thunder beat the Ballers 17U select. When did this happen? I have read where they have some D-I players on their team.

Again, you are looking dumb. Randy doesn't play with Mo, and the Memphis Magic doesn't exist any longer. DUMB and DUMBER!!!

Must not be much love in return. Didn't you know the Schoolers are now TN. Mavericks. Your post makes you look very very stupid. Where's the LOVE!

The only top team that didn't participate in the 16:u state was YOMCA. BTW, didn't the Thunder beat the Ballerz 16:u in the 17:u sub-state by 13 or 14 points. Also, the record books will reflect the Thunder victory know matter how you try to spin it. This is a no spin zone, Mr. O'Reilley.

Question: when was the last time a team not from Memphis won the 17:u State??? In the years I've been coaching, Memphis has won State every year... Question II: when was the last time a team not from Memphis won the 16:u State??? I have read where Tennessee Thunder 16:u broke the stranglehold for this age group last weekend...

AFO, In what capacity do you serve in the SE Elite organization. Are you the head person, if not who is?

AFO, but SE Elite doesn't have one 17:u player from TN. In addition, the NCAA has already had it's run ins with the organization. gomab2, What run ins with the SE Elite organization? Maybe I miss something, but that is the first time I have heard of this. Could you explain please?

I thought the Memphis Warriors had two outstanding players too, #22, #35. My thoughts from the tournaments;YOMCA was the best team by far....Pool A, which included the Nashville Stallions, Tennessee Thunder, Tennessee Travelers and Memphis Warriors was the strongest pool IMO. The Stallions beat the Thunder, The Travelers beat the Warriors, the Thunder beat the Travelers, and the Warriors beat the Stallions on a last second shot. In Saturday's night games which meant the most, the Travelers beat the Stallions and the Warriors beat the Thunder. In Pool B, The Y was simply too strong and too deep. Southeast Elite finish 2nd, SE Elite-Silver 3rd and KAYA 4th. Candlelight05, do you know the names of the schools of the other Travelers players? Tyrone Caldwell (TN Travelers), Clarksville Demario Williams (SE Elite Royal), Cullekoa, (SP) Quinche Dowdell (TN Travelers) What school? Josh Henley (SE Elite Royal), Hunters Lane Robert Ellison (Nashville Stallions), Whites Creek Michael Williams (TN Thunder), Antioch Jordan Damron (TN Travelers) What school? WAITING................... The top 9 players from Team Memphis-YOMCA Names and schools?

The SE Tigers 14U team is very strong. How strong? We will find out in Lynchburg on Friday, May 13th. Good Luck!!!

Dude, Coach Gamble had to deal with the same financial issues when he was at the helm at Maplewood. It's well known that when you become a Panther coach (any sport) the financial resources aren't their. Maplewood is/was a failing school, so until they come up to speed with others schools in Metro.............students will continue to leave recruited or not. A person is never suspended for nothing. The reason for a suspension may be valid or invalid because there's always two side to a story. Coach B was suspended for not following school rules which are define system wide. If I'm Mr. Braden I wouldn't let my employee/coach be the reason why I lost my job either. Besides, valid or invalid the suspension stood. IMO, $4,000.00+ seems to be a valid reason. Oh, I better be careful before I'm suspended tomorrow. DOOTY has read this post!

I agree with your post 100%. Coach B has too many character issues to suit Antioch's prinicipal. You know, I mention some of the same possibilites for the Antioch job on page one of this post and lil poppy had a hizzez fitt. Warning, be careful in what you post on this subject. Believe me, just read lil poppy's next reply on this subject!!! BTW, he has three or more screen names, I know one is biopolar, (nasty), one is when he wants to be interviewed for the Antioch's job (fake) and one when he want's to be McGavock's principal brown nose (hmmm).

NightStalker, I truly appreciate your candor and thoughts on this post. And I see you have taken the time to read my previous posts. As you have read, I said I would offer the job to one of those two (Bonds and Joines). I didn't say either would take the job or would be offer the job. I disagree with you on the good ole boy thing, so let's say we agree to disagree. You are right about McGavock and the sectional, I meant to type sectional instead of regional in relation to my opinion (ex:Hillsboro and MLK state appearance). And, I agree with you about Mike Davis, I can envision him at Pearl-Cohn but not at Antioch. IMO, I think Doc would be interested in the Antioch job more so then the Pearl-Cohn job since the Firebirds are moving to the AA level next year. I think the 12-AAA division is very appealing to Doc just to prove his work at MLK is no fluke. If I remember correctly he was in the running for the Antioch's job four years ago. Also, I believe he still lives in the Antioch area. As I said in my previous post, I think both jobs should be offer to out-of-staters, just to bring in some fresh blood. But, frankly, I don't give a hoot who is or isn't hired. LIL POPPY, If you're a child I have included you in my prayers. If you're an adult, I invited you to attend Mt. Zion Baptist Church, 7594 Old Hickory Blvd, Whites Creek, TN 37189 and pray with us this easter Sunday. If you would have taken the time and/or slow down as you read, you would have noticed I'm voicing my opinion and thoughts just as you and everyone else on this board is doing. For you to result to name calling shows a lack of maturity and some sort of a behavior flaw. Where you neglected as a child? And, I truly hope you were not educated in the Metro system. If so, now I understand why my property tax will triple. I guess I better start looking for a third job or head back to Georgia. P.S. There's a church member that may be able to treat your name calling, bipolar-acting behavior. She's a top notch PSYCHIATRIST. Her initial consultation is free, once she diagnose your illness just mention James Goldbolt and she won't charge you. She owes me one! Oh, you will have to pay for your own prescription, but don't buy any generic brands. YOU NEED THE BEST MONEY CAN BUY!!!

NightStalker, The so called "good ole boy" system went out the door once Metro hired Dr. Pedro Garcia as the director of Metro Schools. With a directive from the Metro's Mayor's office and MNPS board to rid the system of this problem. So, over the last two years the so call "good ole boys" have either retired, reassigned or sent back to the classroom. But it would be naive for anyone to think the system has been cleared 100%. Now, back to my original question, why would Pearl-Cohn's principal or Antioch's principal want to listen to the prinicpal from McGavock when his school haven't advance past the regional since he has been there? It seems to me they would listen to MLK's or Hillsboro's principal since both of their schools advance to the state recently. Besides, he has his own coaching, recruiting, and lawsuit problems at McGavock. Where's Kyle Shipley and Dr. Bills of Gallatin when they are needed? Big Poppa, Because he's on the TSSAA board of control, doesn't mean a ( _ _ _ _ ) thing! Apparently you are not aware of that the fact that TSSAA is ran by the schools for the schools. That's why this state has pubic and private divisions (I an II). If you do the math there's more public schools then private schools, therefore they will always out vote the private schools on any issue no matter how you slice cake. This multiply thing that they came up with (wrong time, wrong forum so I'll move on). Now the bigger questions is, why when public schools such as McGavock recruit athletes (football and basketball) it's okay, but when the Brentwood Academy's, MBA's, and Ensworth's of the world recruit athletes certain public school principal's whine like babies? TraderJack, To answer you question, I hear that Lawrence Haywood (Whites Creek graduate) of Bass Middle and Ty Wilson (Pearl-Cohn graduate) of H.G. Hill Middle are the leading candiates for the Pearl-Cohn job, and that Troy Allen of Hillsboro, Doc Shelton of MLK, and a undisclosed coach from the Memphis area are being considerd for the Antioch vacancy. IMHO, I think both schools should hire coaches from big-time winning programs from outside this state. If not, I would offer the job to Wilson-Central's coach Troy Bond and/or Beech's coach Darren Joines. Guys that know how to coach and guys who have been there and done that!

NightStalker, Why would a principal at one school let a principal at another school be involved in who they hire? Especially since they both play in the same district. So, if one is to believe your theory, McGavock's principal will have Hunters Lane prinicpal to hire his coach, then he would have Antioch's principal to hire Hunters Lane's coach, then he would have Maplewood's principal to hire Antioch's coach, then DOOTY would be his next coach. CODED??? ???

I have. But daddy can't bail you out all the time. Also, that organization has cash flow problems too. Just asked W or better yet IRS.

Being certified wasn't a requirement by Maplewood at the time. But Dooty will not get the job if is certified or not. Why would Antioch want to inherited the $4,000+ cash problems he created at Maplewood? Besides, I'm pretty sure he's going to be fired by Mr. Braden anyway.

Cobrafan90, Yes, McAdoo has played in some freshmen games. I think he plays in freshmen games when the varsity team is idle. BTW, Antioch starting five (w/McAdoo) is 6'6', 6'5, 6'4, 5'11, 5'10. Their second five 6'4, 6'4, 6'3, 6'1, 5'7. IMO, they are a group to be reckon with over they next few years. They have height, speed, quickness, 3pt shooters, ballhandlers, etc. The only flaws I have seen are too many defensive breakdowns and sometimes they let teams back into the game. EXAMPLE: Led Stratford by 20, ended up winning by 2, Led Maplewood by 25 ended up winning by 10. In all other games they have blown out teams early and maintain their big led thoughtout the game. Thanks for the question.
