Nobody ever said Melton couldn't coach. What was said was that Rudesill would not be outcoached by anybody in the state. Rudesill coaches Bolivar Boys and Girls both. He has been at Bolivar 10 years (maybe slightly longer) and this will be his 6th trip with the boys (won back to back to) and has taken the girls twice since he took over there about 5 years ago. Is there another coach in the state regarless of classification that has taken the boys and girls both to the state TWICE (in the same year) in the last four years? I alos know Rudesill has been to substate at least twice and come up short. Bolivar is good and competes for championships every single season since Rudesill has been there. Do the win it every season...NO.....but, they are one of the top AA programs in the entire state. They don't just compete and have great seasons every now and then like alot of other schools.

 

Can somebody from Bolivar tell me when Rudesill took over at Bolivar? Wasn't he at JCS or womewhere like that before going to Bolivar.

 

BTW, Rudesill must live and breath basketball to, just like Melton. Afterall, he does coach the girls and boys both. Pretty sure Rudesill's father was a longtime coach at Jackson NS as well.

 

 

He came to Bolivar in the late 90s...maybe 97ish... Coach at USJ prior to coming to Bolivar. And I'd say he lives and breathes basketball- I don't think the man ever leaves the gym

Livingston Academy is a very good team. I think Bolivar will have their hands full. I still think that 2A could have a number of teams that can actually win this tournament. A/AAA is down basically to 2 teams per classification, but I think that at least 6 of the teams in AA can win it. Should be one of the better tournaments, as far as that class goes, in a while.

This is a tough draw for both teams. There's no doubt Coach Rudesill will have his guys ready to take on Livingston. I have not seen Livingston play, but there's no doubt that Bolivar will have just as much talent and athleticism as LA. Good Luck to Coach Rudesill and Bolivar!!! Bring some gold back to the west!

I read his post too, and nowhere did he say that Bolivar had no pride. He stated facts, that if any team had pride they wouldn't lose any kind of game preseason or not by 20 points if they could win...... He may be insinuating that Bolivar can't win this game!!!!! Go Hogeye!!!!!! TNT /flower.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":flower:" border="0" alt="flower.gif" />

      He had an opportunity to be the OC at TC without final say in the offensive gameplan. How does that work? Smh. Head Coaches are public figures regardless of the community size, and yes there are some out there, it’s irrelevant and not fair to them to name them on here. Also why is said “head coach” the head coach of the MS baseball program to begin with? Oh because no one wants it. As for the Lebanon question, I know what I’ve been told so just going off here say, some of the boosters were not happy with his roster decisions and wanted him out. Although he lead them to 20+ wins in multiple seasons

      A head coach in the school system? No I dont think so. Head coaches are public figures in small communities. Not trying to slander, but this is an actual question. Do you know why he was forced to resign at Lebanon? This was his second chance.  He already left trousdale once and had an opportunity to come back a couple of years ago but spoiled that.

      Are you perfect? Nope no one is, at the end of the day there are several teachers/coaches and even some in the Trousdale County school system that have DUI’s on their record. You’re correct on it being a bad mistake and it unfortunately could have ended horribly. While you consider the consequences minimal, I can assure you they are not. Ultimately I hope and have faith that he will learn from it and use it to better himself.
