Unless they are planning to throw 6 figures at him, I dont see him leaving USN. He has been to the state tournament the last couple of years and BGA has been down for awhile. It would be a step backwards. I realize Lyles is gone now but I still think he is in a better situation already. That being said...dollar signs are the ultimate equalizer. Should be interesting.

BGA would be a step up from USN basketball. They have been to the State playoffs the past few years but the higher division is more competitive. BGA basketball is on the rise. Watch and see. Dont sleep on BGA. We have had some terrible seasons lately. But this is our time to shine.

Not dissing BGA. I think it would be good job. I just dont think Sonn would leave the program he has been building to start building another one. Thats all I was saying. I havent seen BGA play and have no idea what they have. But taking over a 5 win program, after back to back state tournament runs just doesnt make much sense. It still may happen. But I would think it would take alot of green to make it happen. :thumb:

You obviously do not know anything about USN basketball. BGA won 5 games last year, 5!!! That is not a step up from the state championship game. BGA will forever be a stepping stone for teams like the mighty ENSWORTh, MBA, and Brentwood Academy to kick the crap out of. DOn't fool your self to thinking that it is a better job because it is in a higher division. THey suck!

BigENS, let's be honest here. USN wasn't exactly a juggernaut when Coach Sonn got there. They were basically the whipping boy for everyone else. Sure, they had a good player every now and then, but haven't been competitive until Sonn got there. Granted, I do not feel Coach Smith should have been released, but that's a moot point now. As stated under the BGA AD post, if they moved down to Class A, they would instantly be competitive. I don't think a "changing of the guard" is going to help BGA in boys basketball. Smith can coach. He just doesn't have the horses of the Big 3 to compete. And if the school isn't going to be proactive in finding players, then he's gotta roll with what's there. It might be a better job, depending on what you are looking for.....If BGA is paying X and USN is playing less, than that might be a better opportunity. But if they are going to continue in Class AA, there best bet is to get the best young coach with connections.....Maybe Drew Maddux?

Anyone that saw BGA play last year could tell they did not play up to their potential. They were a lot better than a 5 win team but they were certainly not good enough to defeat an Ensworth or MBA. When I saw them early in the year I thought they might have a Father Ryan or a BA upset in them, but you could tell they had quit on themselves half way through the season. As far as next year goes, we can continue to expect Ensworth to reload and MBA has a ton of talent returning from their State Championship team. There is little or no opportunity for BGA to break through even if they had John Wooden as coach. I think Adam Sonn is a great coach and an outstanding man but I'm not sure this is the next move he is hoping for.

Spread, can I call you spread? Let's be honest, USN is a DIIA power now. BGA sucks, Coach Sonn isn't going anywhere. Why would Maddux leave when he recruited the Stud 8th grader to CPA? Coach Smith coached for 30 years won some games but hasn't done anything recently. I say look to hire some asst from one of these schools and let's see what he can do. I hear USN asst. Jason Cary is interested, been coaching awhile and has two state tournament appearances on the resume.

Agreed. There is a big difference between a wish list of possible candidates and a list of actual interested candidates. Maddox and Sonn arent going anywhere. Throw out some realistic candidates. I think it needs to be a young, high energy guy with some connections that will attract some players. Who that guy is...I am not sure. Ideas?

BGA has less than half the number of guys that every other school in the divison. Knowing that you should realize that they are always going to have a hard time competing and should be moved to the lower divison just because of the numbers. And whoever is saying they are worse than USN is crazy because BGA and USN play each other every year expect for this year and USN has not won that matchup in a very long time. BGA will be better in the future, they have a decent freshman class, but should still be in the lower division.

      $750,000 Lawsuit Files Against Warren County School District

      By Dawgz4life · Posted

      This whole situation is bonkers. You don’t just kick your star player off the team just because you heard them say the F word; the coach definitely had something against the player, or somebody definitely did. Also, nobody has brought up the idea that the school blackmailed the college to get the college to withdraw the scholarship offer, not to mention that the coach who kicked her off is no longer even with the program; they were fired. I think this is a pretty easy lawsuit. I don’t know if she should deserve that much money, but I think she should get enough money for a full-ride scholarship if she cannot get one after this situation.

      Oh yeah, I’m sure you are different people just always on the same thread for some reason, always agreeing with each other, perhaps just a bunch of dorks who would like to ###### and moan about high school football coaches do a lot of other students, so you make a football team and get a yell at them. When they do something wrong, but I’m sure you don’t like that, do you?   and I’m sure I’m aware of where you get information. A teacher who was on the coaching staff but was fired after the new coaching and staff came in and realized he actually had to start taking his assistant job a little bit more seriously than just wanting to make a little extra cash on the side, hardly even showing up to most practices, should’ve left with his buddy to go to Farragut. I’m sure he could get him a defensive coaching job, but I doubt he will be there in three years. Looking at the way Farragut is currently going.

      It may be hard to believe but there’s more people than me that think you guys are a bunch of losers.    I’m sure the coaching staff, yourself included, cursed at a bunch of high school students. Nobody could name more than 3 coaches on staff due to the constant turnover.

      That's complete BS.  Nobody at ACHS has access to CHS student records unless a transfer is made from CHS to ACHS.

      school closing in Shelby county

      Trez's last scandal has died down, so I guess this is there opportunity to be the best 4A team playing in 2A a la Sissy MTN.  At least they won't be in a Z-district with 1a teams in the regular season.
