bhscoach

I like reading this post here. If you were a coach and someone donated money to the program but your son was bad then does that give him the right to play?? It sounds like to me parents are trying to buy their kids playing time. Now I played for Coach Harrington when he was an assistant under Hubie Smith at Bartlett. I will tell you this. In practice I wanted to be on Harringtons team. I loved the way he coached and he was so much more intense than Smith was. I'll also put this out. Look at his team....Talent????? YES.... Experience?????? NO......I don't care who you are unless your name is Kobe, Lebron or Kevin, If you are coaching young Sophmores and Juniors you are going to take a few bumps and the last time i checked Briarcrest is 22-4.. Big deal that they lost to St. Benedict. You ever seen Top College teams lose to a Butler or SIU or someone like that???? If I also recall Briarcrest did make it to the State Championship game under Harrington as well. From what I can tell ya'll have nothing to complain about...Wow the lost the someone they should have beat but guess what it happens no matter what level you play on. As for kids getting playing time because their parents paid for it.....Give me a break, If they would go to public or city school they wouldn't even be on the team...Just be glad they are getting to dress out.

Craigmont played at the Centralia Ill. tournament. They beat the home team Orphans in the first round but then lost their next two. I can't remember who they played but they went 1 and 2 i believe.

Thank you!!

where can u get this magazine in memphis?

Well that remark just sounded a little racist. What makes a school a black school and a white school?? The name of the school?? I've been to private schools for some of our games and guess what, they play rap as well. Everybody is referring to memphis as thugs and yes there are some out there but I don't think you can point out memphis as a whole. Like one person said about Thad and Mo with 4.0 and going to G tech. Mitchell also had a kid on their team last year that had over a 4.0 and went to harvard. We played in Centralia Ill. last year and when they played their music it was the same thing, F this, F that, ###### it was terrible. Don't single out all of memphis saying they are thugs and taking a screw up from one school and putting the blame on everybody. I"m just confused on how a school is a white school or black school, please explain.

We played Graves Co. last weekend at Graves Co. We to were down by atleast 10 points in the first half and made a run in the 2nd to beat the by 10 or 12. Is it not the most boring basketball that you've watched? Their conditioning program in the offseason is going into the gym without a basketball and running through their set plays. They don't have what you call an offense. They have over 40 set plays that they try to run every trip down the court. They are tough to beat. They finished top four in the Kentucky state tourney last year. And usually win 20 games a year. In my opinion though competition in Kentucky is pretty weak compared to ours here in Tennessee. Good win against a very good Graves Co. team.

I remember watching a bartlett game years back before i coached or played there. The other team was up by one point with a few seconds left. Bartlett called a timeout and when they went to throw the ball in they had the guy run out into the lobby and back in the other door. When he came in the other door his guy was nowhere to be found. They threw him the ball under the basket and he hit a last second shot to win the game.

my post was not directed to you coach. sorry if it came off that way.

Why is this site full of people bashing people for the team that they like? It's amazing how you never hear anything from anybody about Millington until this year when they are winning games again. Didn't the girls team for Millington DRY up for a few years as well. Now they are winning basketball games and you get on here and start bashing Bartlett. No Pun attended Coachgat. Why is it ok that you can talk about your team but when in this case BHS is having a good year you have to get on here and find something negative to say about them. I don't understand this and never will. But you are in the same situation of what you have said above. Millington has been an afterthought in both boys and girls basketball lately and now that you are winning a few games ya'll are coming out and letting everybody know now. And if i'm not mistaken this isn't the early 90's anymore so whatever happen back then has nothing to do with any of the kids playing right now.

Well i will put an input on your nicknames. Brianna informed me Tuesday night that she wanted to be called Shock. The other nicknames can stick though.

I know Coach Walker isn't coaching anymore. I see her every night we have a game. Her daughter is the Center for Bartlett. Her son is getting ready to sign major D1 for football. He's pretty good.

I don't remember exact years. I think it was around 94-96 maybe. He left there and went to Bartlett to assist under Hubie Smith. Was assistant at BHS a few years then got job at Houston.

Coach Dykes was also a coach at millington. He is Boys coach at Houston now. He had some pretty good girls teams. Don't know how far they made it when he was there but their teams were always competitive.

well being on the boys coaching staff i didn't get to watch that much of the game. I know that at the end of the first quarter it was 24-1 i think in bartletts favor. when i walked in during the second quarter the only one of the "Big Four" on the court was Nikki. I don't know if the others were in foul trouble or if coach was getting younger players some pt. If she was trying to get younger players PT then it was the right thing to do or it might have gotten ugly. Getting those girls in will help later on down the road.
