Saw this on WJLE website and heard from another person:

 

DCHS teacher and girls basketball coach Mike Shockley has resigned

 

 

Where do the Lady Tigers go from here? Coach Shockley did a good job with this group to make them better but what is the next step?

Reason? His reputation was a program builder.

I've seen a marked improvment in the Dekalb Co. program under Coach Shockley's direction. I am sad that he is leaving. Maybe they have someone that learned from him, to take his place. /ph34r.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":ph34r:" border="0" alt="ph34r.gif" />

 

Boy's Head Coach Lynus Martin assisted Shockley this past season. I don't know he could handle both squads? He also assists with a very good football team. Hope they get a coach pretty soon to begin with an offseason program.

Dekalb will get another good coach in there from what understand Mark Willoughby has Hired some big name guys:

 

Bud Brandon - 2 state titles at WC,as well neumerous State Tourny appearances. Also son of all time winningest living coach Cambell Brandon.

 

Robby Reasonover - 1 state title, while out coaching Jim Brown in the process.

 

Terry Spurlock - AAU Baseball coaching Genious, took his team to 2nd in the Nation, but lost to Jimmy Rollins club in the finals.

 

Brad Martin - Brad a guuy who never made a name for himself like the one above, but the son of one greatest coaches Tommy Martin who coached at MT. Juliet.

 

Mike Schockley - Won over 400 games, also many D1 signees. Will be missed at DC

 

 

I will bet Willoughby will not choose anyone local. If he is smart anyway. They need someone who can inspire and can get people to believe in there self, but also teach them you will never see success if you do not see hard word before it. Will these girls win state prob not, but they can achieve so much more. Coach Shockley got it started, who can now carry the torch.

 

Need someone with expericence, but most of all a good teacher of the game.

Well-stated, Dekalb Co. is is a tough situation because they are having to change the entire culture of Women's basketball there. I thought Shockley did a good job there and he created a base to build from. Good luck in your hiring process

What will Coach Schockley do? Does anyone know? With his background ther are sure a number of Coaching jobs available and very good ones.

 

 

I have heard that he applied for the girls varsity job at Sequoyah. Why would he leave this program for another program that has struggled nearly as much?

 

He appears to have helped improve things at Dekalb with his 10-44 record in two years. This is quite an improvement over the 3-75 record for the 3 years before he came.

 

What were some of the things he did to get the program heading back in the right direction?

Attitude: His girls showed no quit. No matter how out gunned, they hung in there til the buzzer.

Attitude is the main start of rebuilding any program.

    • Never in my life have I seen a team in a scrimmage against their own defense look so lost and confused. The defense didn’t look much better, the coaching staff can’t keep their anger together, not only with the players but also with their other coaches. I feel awful for those players. None of them look like they wanted or should’ve been out there, but for the grown men on the sidelines acting like fools, it's just embarrassing to the Farragut name and reputation. I now see why they chose not to live stream this on their YouTube channel.
    • We could sure use some math teachers country wide. Ever go into a store or restaurant and the bill comes to $9.97 and you give them a ten dollar bill and 2 pennies because you wanted a nickle back and then the meltdown starts and the next thing two more people have to come and help figure it out and the place comes to a complete halt. I see this everyday and it's a sad representation of all these schools allowing these kids out the door to get shortchanged the rest of their life. 
    • I like the Pirates chances. I’ll be there as soon as work allows.
    • Stars, I heard we were searching far and wide for some math teachers. Any chance their kids bench press or 40 times are getting checked? LOL I’ve heard good things from 825.  
    • I think it was expected. “Bad” luck I guess to get a couple difference maker QBs in the same class. I thought the decision was made a little early myself, but they were struggling offensively last year.  I assume the running quarterback alco had last year would be a senior this fall, and the transfer would start the following two years in addition to getting a ton of playing time this year. Maybe he waits two yrs, but I doubt it. The kid is good. So is the one who stayed.
