I think Little deserved it...He did great things with that team coming from a D-2 program. Harvey didn't really do anything outside the box...Not to take anything away from him. He has a GREAT program at MBA, but I think the award should be based on more than your record.

Yeh, i mean MBA has an outstanding program year in and year out. So he is obviously doing something right, and doing it consistantly. But, they do have a consistant feeder program, but I think (but I'm not sure) it is run by Harvey. So iono, i guess he is running the whole show and obviously doing it well. But i would probably give it to either Little or the CBHS coach depending on how well they show in the playoffs. They lost to ravenwood by 5, but they beat mccallie. I dont think they have played MBA, so that should be a good test for the team, and they get MUS again. If they were a favorite of some sort, I was not aware of it, but from my understanding they weren't picked to be a standout in the league as they are doing now. So, the CBHS coach is obviously having a good year. And as for Little, he has taken that one group of seniors and made them mesh and play like all-stars. Just a thought, just throwing it out there.

CBHS lost by 5 to ravenwood but beat mccallie and then ravenwood beats mccallie by 10 so i think its gunna go to Little. I would pick the MUS coach over the CBHS coach if the Ravenwood coach didnt get it. If the coach comes from DII then itll be the Franklin coach I think he has just as good of a chance as any other coach in the state. Cant wait for that game tomorrow itll be very interesting to see what happens.

I honestly dont know how you can argue against Harvey deserving to get the award last year. His team beat Little's by 7 in the playoffs...the night before little was presented with the award. And then he led his team to win the Championship. Sounds like a pretty valueable coach to me.

And as for this year, Im not going to say who should get it, cause its only half-way through the season right now, and that would just be stupid to try to argue for someone when half of the big games have not happened yet. But i will say this: I garuntee you that no team in the state loves playing for their coach as much as MBA does for Harvey.

Yeh, i would agree with you on last year. Thats a pretty strong case for Harvey, but I have also heard that some MBA players did not like the coaching staff. Now, this is from just a couple players, and there were no names given out-so it could have been assistants and what not, but you can't really say that a certain team loves playing for their coach more than another school. Each team and coach have their own bond that makes it fun and what not. I honestly dont know who should or will win it this year, and to be honest haha I dont really even care.

i would really like to know who those guys are...probably people who were not getting any playing time and were upset about it. MBA's coaches seem to have such a great, laid-back relationship with all their players. it is just hard for me to believe that after hearing so many good things about those coaches.

my vote for D2 would be the cookeville coach. his team didnt even make the playoffs last year and this year they won the east and made it to the state championship game. i understand the arguements for franklins coach but he had basically the same team this year as last year's state championship team

QUOTE(fivehole @ May 20 2007 - 09:42 PM) 826463812[/snapback]coach of the year should go to a coach who has built a program over the years and has made success with that program. My problem with Tyler Hirsh getting coach of the year honors is that he began coaching a team last year that had talented players already.

 

 

 

The Cookeville coach has done a fine job. Coach Hirsch had the same team as last year...what some people don't realize is at one point in the 2006 season the team was 7-7 and then won out. It's not automatic you keep the momentum. Back-to-back is big. It's still Hirsh IMO.

    • Lol! I was being a bit facetious. 
    • Way late on this post, but I do believe that I want to at least weight in so to speak lol. I wrestled NAIA competed against some of the best wrestler over all a crossed the divisions and felt great about my college wrestling experience. I think people make the mistake in believe that wrestling some how gets easier as a sport at the smaller college divisions it doesn't the training is mostly the same. I have that on good authority from a coach who was a D1 all-American. it's more the commitment level of the competitors that is different. There is talented wrestlers that can go D1 at any level in the smaller division. sub in Sammy Shires for one he would have done fine on a DI team. He chose a work life ratio that suited him. It's not about talent it's commitment are you going to make training and studying the sport the center of your world cause that's what it takes: NO MATTER HOW TALATENTED BEFORE HAND YOU ARE.  If so then D1 is for you and striving for success at that level is for you like Mr. Palmer said it's what your willing to put in. Now coaches if you have a successful wrestler who fits that bill then by all means D1 is a great option they will see some success no matter how small, but if they are not that committed along with being talented and a killer and you know it then your doing them wrong.  You don't have to tell athletes that you don't think they are D1 tell them to keep their options open to take all their visits to consider all the divisions regardless of their goals. college recruiting visits have you most times wrestle against their current wrestlers coaches and athletes  will find out real quick it's not easy no matter where you go. That way when they make their decision it's a sound one that's based on well rounded experiences.     BobCorker, and oceansize42 I believe what you are thinking is correct but for different reasons. TN wrestler's have the talent... it's a commitment level change. TN wrestlers aren't used to having to put themselves through the level of commitment required and kills them on the D1 level.    WrestlingGod, I agree you should push kids to pursue their dreams, but not at the cost of common sense period... we have to much of that going around this country already. Dreams can turn to poison when these wrestler are not educated on what it truly takes. In TN  a kid who understands wrestling to a high level can be successful with small amounts of hard work. They think their definition of hard work is enough for D1 that is the mistake not the "talent/understanding".  Over-all though we do not celebrate NAIA,D2,D3, or Juco success in this state like other states do. GA/AL celebrates all it's college wrestlers success a crossed the  board no matter the division. Why? because it's hard... I have gone to all the divisions National championships let me tell you to be a all-American at any is impressive especially D2 or NAIA. those guys can scrap and not one of those AA's are an easy match. all of them were state placers or champs multiple times in their high school careers. does that at all sound easy to place at? TN does not give those guys enough credit or shout outs period. it's an over sight because of this D1 or it's less than meaningless   mentality on this site and in this state. GA/AL is better then us on the highest stage because they send guys to D2,NAIA,D3 ect. they come back understanding the sport better then their pervious coaches, and give back and that cycles to athletes readiness to go D1 with clearer understanding of what it takes to be competitive day 1 freshman year.             My post isn't to support one way or the other but to just consider that both sides have merit and that both work when the system in TN. by system I mean coaches are the better educated on preparing athletes for each level they want and should pursue.        
    • If you think McKenzie could've beat Riverside I have a bridge you might like to buy. 
    • Hate to hear Ricky is heading to the old folk's home!
    • By recruiting, I mean members of a coaching staff are talking to, meeting with, giving tours, to students, and their guardians, that are not zoned for their school.    there’s no way that many non Bearden kids just showed up all at once without being recruited. It can’t be a coincidence that all those kids also went through the middle school all star game your boss puts on every year.
