Greeneville/Clinton

[formertncoach]

Greeneville 60, Clinton 24: It was a weird one in Greeneville.

 

First, Clinton basically sent their JV team to the non-district regular-season finale. The Dragons' top six players didn't even make the trip.

 

Neither did head coach Chris Lockard. The results were inevitable going up against Class AAA's No. 5-ranked Greene Devils.

 

Tremaine Gash led Greeneville (29-2) with 19 points. Antwaine Wiggins managed 10 despite playing just the first half.

 

What is that about?

I would think a game against Greeneville would help Lockard get his team ready for district play. Kinda threw his team to the lions huh?

[LEONARDSLOSERS]

I would have to agree, but He may have not wanted to show what he had. This could really help the Dragons or could really come back to bite them.

If you schedule a game , you bring your whole team.....playing Greeneville would have only helped them better prepare for Powell....bad enough the top six did not come , but for the head coach not to come is just not good...wonder if there will be any fallout over it?

[LEONARDSLOSERS]

I do agree that the Head Coach should have been there. I would understand it much more, had he been there.

Lockard and all the players who did not go to Greeneville were in the stands at Bearden watching Powell play.

I do not think that it was very fair to Greeneville either, I am sure Coach Duncan would have liked to have seen a little bit of a challenge instead of not playing the starters at all in the second half. I figure Coach Duncan scheduled this game to help him get ready for the District but at least the younger players got some playing time.

When you schedule a game the coaches and the team should be there unless sick. This appears to be another classless act on the part of the Dragons.

[wiggins30]

wonder what the school board had to say about this to the coach...because i think thats embarrisning for the school...

[B-Ball Fan]

The school, school board, fans and anyone associated with Clinton should be absolutely ashamed at this. Coach should be reprimanded in some way. This sounded like something out of a city parks & recreation league. I'm sure those players were getting better while sitting in the stands watching another game.

 

If you don't want to make the return trip, don't schedule the game in the first place.

 

Unbelievable

 

No justification for this at all!

[RCCOLA]

This was very disrespectful. I am surprised an adult would do this. If you need to scout a team, you don't do it on a night that you already have a game scheduled. What could he have possibly been thinking? If he needed to scout this team, why didn't he do it earlier in the season? You know your schedule and your off nights.

 

If I were a parent of a young man on this team, I would be upset at the message this sent to the kids.

 

You are supposed to honor your commitments. No excuses. I agree there should be some kind of reprimand or consequence.

Greeneville only scored 60?
