BA about to get serious with football/basketball coaching search

Just hoping for some kind of stability for the seniors- another firing would be tough right now IMO. Don't make a fire mid-season- if they needed to replace the coach it should have been done after last season.

 

Let me preface this by saying I am not close to the basketball team, or the inner situations. From an outsider pov purely.

Just a little history on BA basketball program. BA's basketball coach (BA Alum)took over the team after Brandon Wright (NC player now NBA)graduated. He was an assistant under coach Pitts who went to the college level to coach after Brandon Wright. (Good move on his part) BA won multiple state championships while Pitts was there. After he departed BA still had a strong team the next few year but it has slowly developed into an average program. Lots of players have quit or transferred over the last 4 years. The coach has had some really good players but hasn't been able to find the right team chemistry to succeed in DII AA. The 3 best players this year for BA, one transferred, one injured from football and one didn't come back out for the team. Tough situation for the BA basketball coach, I wish them luck this year.

I would take a hard long look at Brian Rector. State Champion at 5A at Ravenwood, only Williamson County team to beat BA, college experience, turned Centennial around in first year. He is creative and hard nosed and as energetic as the come.

 

Spoken from a Ravenwood supporter. Guess I would want Rector to leave Centennial if I were you too. Why are you not offering up your current coach?

Rutledge had expressed interest in BA while he was at MBA. He would be a good bet.

 

Pack is not a BA alum; he's from MBA (Class of '80).

 

Don't think so. Wonderful man but had lots of problems calling plays and working with his team at the end. There was a reason MBA let him go.

Pack is another arrogant coach. We would be back in the same place.

 

Go Jack Pittman!

With 2 posts promoting Brian in less than 12 hours, I humorously assumed it was Brian doing the posts himself. I know it wasn't Brian- it was just a (very) sad attempt at humor. It looks like he is doing a fine job encouraging, growing and unifying the Centennial program- all due respect to anyone taking on the role of a high school coach to mold these young men. GG85

    • Deja vu all over again, 7 yrs apart. SMDH Does anybody talk to each other?
    • OK, well, that’s because two quarterbacks can’t start. That’s football 101. The main quarterback won the starting job, so he was on varsity, and the Seymour transfer did not win the starting job. He played some varsity. He was mainly junior varsity, and he balled out when healthy, so for the starting quarterback who’s been starting varsity since his freshman year, if you have any form of proof that he’s gotten worse, somehow, whether that means stats or whatnot, please feel free to share.
    • They’ve both gotten worse. I’ve seen enough games to know that. 
    • The only two transfers that Bearden has gotten that went on to play college football were a defensive back from Karnes, who transferred here way before the new coaching staff got here, and a running back from Carter, who went on to play at Maryville College. Both players received those offers while at Bearden, and both players got a diploma from Bearden High School. Therefore, they are Bearden kids, and you can’t do anything about that.   The transfer from Seymour didn’t win the job, what do you expect two quarterbacks to start at the same time? He played great on JV when he could stay healthy, and when he came in on varsity, he did great. The quarterback position is definitely going to be in good hands when the current starting quarterback leaves, but until then, they’re just going to be battling it out like every good quarterback competition does. The current starting quarterback has his flaws, and that is in the pass game, but what he doesn’t have flaws is running and scrambling, and if you go back and watch any game, which I’m sure you didn’t watch any, we used him very often, and when we needed a deep ball, we brought in the transfer from Seymour. The starting quarterback last year will be a senior this year, and the Seymour transfer will be a junior, so the Seymour transfer is definitely going to get his spotlight. He may even win the job this year. Football isn’t about who the newspaper thinks is the best kid. The best kid in the position will win the starting job, and I trust the coaching staff more than a newspaper or article to pick my starting QB.
    • I mean, we’ve only gotten two transfers that went on to play college football, one who went to UT Martin came his second semester junior year before the new coaching staff was here, and the other one went on to play at Maryville College, in which I don’t believe he had any interest prior to transferring.
