eloquent pontification - smooth and gracious - thanks for your adulation but I don't need it. huge axe to grind - duh!! are you sherlock holmes or 007 ! - you are brilliant,let me guess, drivers ed major? like i said it has to do with young people getting ripped. think about this - why do you think i selected the name hackashaq??? also in your brilliant review of my remarks - WHO said it wasn't earned??? Wasn't me. Have you tried this method and it didn't work??? believe me, Bolivar/Liberty have earned it, Sammy Fisher and his '70s Lexington teams earned it , and Lexington will earn it again in the future when the right system is in place.

 

You say you know the "lonely feeling" , comparing yourself to Gardner's situation, DO YOU?? gag, forgive me, i don't mean "to pile on" here, but if that is so - could it be that you have that "enormous lack of character" you so "eloquently pontificated" about? Do you know the lonely feeling some good solid young people might feel when their spirit has been broken by one that is hiding behind the name coach and is allowed to rule with an iron fist??? You say "Coach" Gardner and "VERY good basketball coach" all in the same breath and with great respect, go ahead defend him, you sound like an expert to me - i'll check back with you next week....... at that point "you will have earned" that "lonely feeling".

 

The Eloquent Pontificator , Axe Grinder, or hackashaq - take your pick beave

 

 

 

Thank you for once agian proving my point........

 

I would venture to say that you are trying to live through your child, or were not good enough to play. Either way, I hope you never make a choice, or life deals you something you cannot handle, and people treat you the way you choose to handle this situation.

 

In the above post, I never defended, and I cannot, and will not, defend the actions that are being reported. But for you to contend that Coach Gardner is such and awful coach is ignorant. I chalk it up to ignorance, not a mean-spirited ignorance, but lack of knowledge about the game and what goes on in practice and in and out of the school setting. I do this because of your statements about Bomar. If you only knew half of what he has personally done for him, you might think a little differently, but I doubt you would.

 

Go ahead and rip me if you wish, I will bow out.

well to get back on the topic...i was at the mcnairy/lexington game and i would like to say that lexington played outstanding....and i am a lexington student which means that i support the team however i can....im not even gonna get started on the coach gardner situation b/c its just ridiculous...thats all im gonna say on the topic... but i would like to say that the boys have stuck together during this hard time and maintained their composure and have been winning some games......idk if it was b/c of the coach or if it was the team itself but somethin is makin these boys play much better......coach clement and coach forney have coached the boys really well since the suspension of coach gardner....i just want to wish the boys good luck during the tournaments coming up

 

 

I graduated from Lexington High School.....Lexington has always had a proud tradition and always will (I still know the almamater...do you?). I've lived in Jackson now for a little over 20 years and I wish there was that kind of spirit here in the school system. I really miss it.....but there is a difference in small town, one high school, and several high schools.

Adversity should always make people better...."Big Red" don't spend too much time looking back......learn from it, correct it, and move on. The real shame will be when you fail to learn from it, and let the actions of one keep you from pulling together. The only thing you should look back on is the glory days......and look ahead to the glory to come.

sorry beave, i wrote with a little more emotion than i should have - my apologies. believe me though, nothing will happen like this in my life, i guarantee that! think what you will about me, but the whole picture will become clearer later - the whole mindset of what has happened here to this young person this year - to take advantage of a loaner (both on/off court), and then hide behind this certain smoke and mirror facade is the nature of the beast. he truly is one of the best snake oil salesmen. there has been a huge protective wall around him (even some of the leaders when confronted with this issue chose to ignore it - a pathetically bad decision in my book), those that protect him via your same arguements/thought processes and he has ruled with an iron fist/untouchable... it is your choice to continue to hold him in high esteem regardless of what he has done and mine not to. i guess we could get into a match about who knows more bball, but i will leave it alone.

 

the key is this - putting the best 5 that represent Lexington on on the floor and then let it play out , this has not happened in 6 yrs, looks like clement may be headed that way - we will see......

 

GAME OVER, he is yours..................
