Talkitup Posted May 14, 2008 Report Share Posted May 14, 2008 Anybody heard that Donald Pickett is leaving Memphis and headed back to Whitwell.? Seems like that would be a step down for him and his family. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Indian Posted May 14, 2008 Report Share Posted May 14, 2008 I've not heard that but maybe he just wants to be close to home. Also it seems like softball is more his interest now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well thats what I thought too. Is there a softball opening at WHS for the next year? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Coachwo Posted May 19, 2008 Report Share Posted May 19, 2008 Any news yet about a new coach? I know the hiring process takes some time but surely they have something by now? Are they wanting a local guy? Or somebody from that region of Tennessee? Just wondering cause spring/summer practices are right around the corner.

PurpleGrad Posted May 22, 2008 Report Share Posted May 22, 2008 The new principal was named yesterday. Maybe they were just holding on until that matter was resolved before hiring/announcing a new basketball coach. Who knows? As for Pickett... I'm sure the possibility of coming back to his alma mater to coach and also be able to work with his sister on the softball field is very appealing. Good luck to the Tigers with whatever decision they make..... /thumb[1].gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":thumb:" border="0" alt="thumb[1].gif" /> Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Coachwo Posted May 22, 2008 Report Share Posted May 22, 2008 Well, I guess they better get to work finding a coach. Have they been looking all along or have they been waiting till they named the new principle? What is the word? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Have they been looking all along or have they been waiting till they named the new principle? What is the word? Has a hire been made yet? It's about time for camps to start so who will take the young men from Whitwell. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PurpleGrad Posted May 31, 2008 Report Share Posted May 31, 2008 Any word out of Whitwell? It's been nearly two weeks since the new principal was named. You would think they would be eager to name a new coach. I hear that it is going to be Pickett and then I hear that it is not going to be. Will the Whitwell team be going to Sequatchie County Camp which starts Sunday? I was thinking that Coach Z may at least take them to camp until someone is hired.... /huh.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":huh:" border="0" alt="huh.gif" /> Where is Condra69 when you need him?....... EDIT: Update.... Heard from a reliable source tonight that Pickett has accepted the job at WHS. Good luck to Donald and to the Whitwell program.

Wobblehead Posted June 8, 2008 Report Share Posted June 8, 2008 Wobble, wobble, wobble... It is unfortunate that it didn't work out with Pickett. He would have been a good addition to the coaching ranks in the Sequatchie Valley. Good luck to Whitwell on finding a coach for the hardwood.

Talkitup Posted July 17, 2008 Author Report Share Posted July 17, 2008 I have heard around Whitwell that we have a new basketball coach, Heath Thacker. Does anyone know anything about him? All I have heard is that he graduated from MC and played basketball there. Whats the scoop? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
