ut18vols Posted April 22, 2008 Report Share Posted April 22, 2008 If anyone knew Mark Reeves, you knew he was a great guy, IMO. I learned a lot through him from character to wrestling under him a few years ago in high school, including the State Runner Up title he won in 04-05 wrestling season. I just wanted to congratulate the man on the new job. Good Luck Coach Reeves!!!

CoachBruce Posted April 25, 2008 Report Share Posted April 25, 2008 Anybody got any comment on this? Mark is a great guy, as you mentioned. This seems like a great thing for TN wrestling, and an especially good chance to make some progress towards things like the Double-Elimination at State, Better Regional alignments, etc. What does everyone think?

THEANIMAL Posted April 25, 2008 Report Share Posted April 25, 2008 I THINK MARK IS A GREAT HIRE FOR TSSAA AND THE WRESTLING COMMUNITY. I AM GLAD THEY CHOSE A "WRESTLING MAN" FOR THE JOB INSTEAD OF SOMEONE THAT HAS NO KNOWLEDGE OF THE SPORT. THE ANIMAL Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

THE ANIMAL I don't know the man but perhaps those who do can make the case for going to a double elimination at the D-1 tournament for 2009. A potential quick win for this guy, sure to make him very popular with coaches, athletes, parents and fans if he can pull it offl. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The first rule when working for the TSSAA is to not "rock the boat" and keep RC and the Board of Control happy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hope coach Reeves gets a chance to do those things that the wrestling community have been pushing for. I also remember him saying he wanted double elimination at state. We will see!!!!

If I recall correctly, he was one that pushed to split state duals into A-AA and AAA, which I think was great because it gave smaller schools a chance to win it all.

I do not know Mr. Reeves. I'm sure he is a fine man. But before everyone gets terribly excited about having a "wrestling man" in office, remember that Ronnie Carter himself was first a Wrestling Coach. So now we have 2 "wrestling men" in the big house? My point is, I would not expect a lot of things to change. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
