NASHVILLE TRAVEL BASKETBALL

[THEREALSTORY1]

I HAVE SAT BACK AND WATCHED AS ALL THESE POST HAVE COME OUT SINCE SUNDAY AND I MUST SAY I AM NOT SUPRISED BY WHAT IS BEING SAID BY PEOPLE INSIDE THE THUNDER ORGANIZATION. EVERY TIME THERE IS A DISPUTE IT 9 TIMES OUT OF 10 INOVOVLES THE THUNDER. I HAVE BEEN AROUND BASKETBALL IN MIDDLE TENNESSEE I WANT TO REMAIN UNKNOWN. I KNOW EDDIE WISDOM AND I ALSO KNOW THE PEOPLE FROM THE OTHER SIDE OF THE ARUGUMENT. ED WISDOM SINCE I HAVE KNOWN HIM IS ONE OF THE MOST UPFRONT PEOPLE IN THIS BUSINESS. THIS GUY LOOKS OUT FOR ALL THE KIDS JUST AS MUCH AS HE LOOKS OUT FOR ERIK. IT SEEMS LIKE MIDDLE TENNESSEE IS ALWAYS ARGUING WITH EACH OTHER TO WHERE WE CANT GET THE BOYS ALL IN ONE PROGRAM. I DO HAVE SOME QUESTIONS FOR THUNDER PEOPLE AS I HAVE BEEN TO SEVERAL OF THE TOP TOURNAMENTS TO SCOUT KIDS IN THE STATE.

 

1) WHY HAVENT YOU ALL BEEN TO ONE TOURNAMENT IN APRIL WHERE COLLEGE COACHES ARE IN ATTENDENCE. AND YOU HAVE MICHAEL MACADOO AND DEMONTE HARPER ALSO WIL PETERS ON YOUR TEAM. WHY WOULD YOU NOT PUT THEM INFRONT OF COACHES. YOU SEE WHAT KIND OF NOISE GERALD AND JAMIE BROUGHT THERE WAY. CHECK Unapproved Website IF YOU MISSED THAT.

 

2) WHY ARE YOUR PARENTS ALWAYS THE ONES INTESGATING SOMETHING. YOU HAVE A COUPLE OF KIDS ON YOUR 16 YEAROLD TEAM THAT PEOPLE HATE JUST BECAUSE OF THERE MOTHERS.

 

 

I WOULD LIKE A CIVILIZED ANSWER TO MY QUESTIONS BECASUE EVERY PROGRAM INCLUDING THE STALLIONS HAS BEEN INFRONT OF COLLEGE COACHES BUT THE THUNDER AND EVERYBODY KNOWS THAT IN APRIL YOU ARE SUPPOSED TO BE AT THE BIG TOURNAMENTS.

 

OTHER COACHES PLEASE RESPOND AND TELL ME IF I AM WRONG.

[smalltown]

I'm a coach - have been for a long time.

 

In my opinion, the Tennessee Thunder is a well-run, classy organization. I would feel very good if my son were to play for them.

[Primetime14]

You can't help it if kids are hated because of their mothers. What are they supposed to do about it , tell their mothers to be quiet. I no when i was younger if I told my mother what to do I would get whoopped or kicked out of my house. So that shouldnt even be a question.

TRS1, I know Ed and he is a good coach in both his style and bball brain. I don't see why anyone has a problem with him.

Sounds to me like someone is using this board to slam the Thunder in order to steal their players. Classic example of no class. I would rather have my son play for the Thunder than some other organizations in that area.

aGAIN I AM NOT BASHING THE THUNDER I WANT FACTS WHY WOULD YOU WANT YOUR SON TO PLAY FOR THE THUNDER THIS IS JUST A POST. tHE bALLERZ STARS AND CELTICS ALL HAVE PLAYED 3 TIMES IN FRONT OF COLLEGE COACHES WHY HAVENT THEY BEEN TO ANY TOURNAMENTS CAN YOU HONESTLY TELL ME THAT THEY ARE HELPING THERE PLAYERS BY NOT PUTTING THEM IN THE TOURNAMENTS WITH COACHES

[littlerock]

My son would never play for the Ballerz or Celtics. There are right and wrong ways to run a program, and I don't want him learning the wrong way.

[gomab2]

Interesting quote, since the Ballerz seem to do a pretty darn good job getting kids in school at the next level... Interesting.

[MiddleTNBasketball]

Wow! This is getting heated. Why don't we just let the kids playthe game of basketball. Now you see why so many high school basketball coaches hate for their players to play AAU, and just want them to go to team camps. There is to much fighting and petty arguments going on. But I would like for somebody to answer Real Story's question , about why Tennessee Thunder doesn't go to the big time tournaments. Because Tennessee Thunder is one of my favorite AAU teams to watch, especially because to my opinion they have one of the best backcourts in all 16u teams and most 17u teams.

I know you dont. I'm agreeing with you. I have no idea about the thunder's decisions though.
