Underrated Coaches

[bigbearsfan]

The coach from Meigs County. In my opinion, he is the best coach in our district. I would like to see what he can do with some real players.

Mike Wright at Morristown East. Won regular season IMAC championship and has them playing for district tournament title tonight. Won 2 District and 2 Region Championships in 3 years at Pigeon Forge. Has a chance for 3 district titles and 3 region titles in his first 5 years of coaching. Pretty impressive.

i totally agree with mike wright, i think he is a great coach. i think brad flatford at cosby is an outstanding coach as well. Both of these coaches are fairly young and have lots of upside to them.

It will be okay guys. Coach Derek McCord is the best coach in District 13 AA, he lost 4 starters and now starting 2 freshman went 30-1 and #2 in the state also won his 3rd straight District Championship! He doesn't win Coach of the Year award in District 13 AA due to the fact that it is a popularity contest! I think he'll take the Championship over a Coach of the Year award! Also, the coach that won it has won it what is it now 3 years running? and loses to Coach McCord year in and year out!

Gotta agree with earlier posts. Mike Wright from Morristown East is the real deal. Flatford from Cosby, in my opinion is also a close second. It's not always about wins and losses. These coaches I speak of have taken talent which is probably 2nd or 3rd place talent in their respective leagues and both are playing for district titles tonight. Two up and comers...Only gonna get better. /rolleyes.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":rolleyes:" border="0" alt="rolleyes.gif" />

Gotta agree with Mike Wright. Great young coach and followed up the regular season title with the District Tournament title tonight. Also agree that he did it with probably 3rd place talent.

 

Congrats to the Canes.

In district 7A....Gary Flynn of Jackson Co. I think is one of the most underrated coaches in these parts. He guided his team to the state last year first time I believe in 31 years. He gets more out of the talent he has than anybody I've seen.

 

On the girls side in the same district.....Brent Smith of Pickett Co. IMO is another coach that gets more out of his talent than a lot of coaches.

 

Both coaches and schools are still alive in the semi's of the Region. Good luck to both coaches.

Coach Gerald Harris from Manassas High School in Memphis had only one player returning from the starting five and the next two off of the bench. So you are looking at losing your top seven players off your team. This is a rebuilding year for his team and look what he have done this year. Rank #2 in the State in Single A, 22-2 (10-0) and projected to win it all this year. What other coach can you say have done a better job? Great Job! Give credit were it is due.

I'll give you an over rated one, is young Cisco from union city. If any of you can recall, when he first came to union city he was a par coach and had a few average season's. Not until his father came around did he actually start winning and winning big. He's an average coach don't get me wrong but he gets all of his fathers credit /smile.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":)" border="0" alt="smile.gif" />. Anyone from union city knows it's true if you will admit it or not.

Well, this will certainly get some stuff started.

I think when you look at the job Kevin Starks has done at Harding Academy it is rather impressive. First of all he replaced a big name in Pete Frodden and in his first year he led his team to the State SemiFinals. I think he has doen a fantastic job there and he doesn't get the respect he deserves. Also a great person and man.
