dirtydawg15 Posted October 26, 2002 Report Share Posted October 26, 2002 What are everyone's thoughts on this upcoming season? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest KNOKNO Posted October 27, 2002 Report Share Posted October 27, 2002 1 - Maryville, best player in East Tenn. with nice system and nice role players. 2 - William Blount, great senior leadership and better shooters then last year and incredible size. 3 - Farragut, much returning talent, but unstable coaching 4 - Bearden, great coaching, nice shooter but I don't think Kyle can carry it all himself. 5 - South Doyle, great young talent, great coaching, will play the hardest of anyone else in the league. 6 - West, the heat is on Coach Lindsay, how will they response? 7 - Heritage, new coach, same players, same results. 8 - Sevier County, no talent, it is all going to Pigeon Forge - even in football.

Tigerbsktball Posted October 29, 2002 Report Share Posted October 29, 2002 KNOKNO, what do you know about these programs, especially the one at Heritage. Now, I will admit that their past history has been horrendous, but they do have new coaches. And I must say they are two incredible coaches. Coach Rines comes from West High, where he turned the girls program around and Coach Wilson had a very successful career as head coach of the Heritage girls. As for saying that they are the same players, I would definitely disagree. Physically there might be 3 returners, and even those players have accepted new roles on their squad. I know this because I have spoken with the coaches and I have spoken with the players... they are a young team, so in response to your comment about "same players, same results," I would have to call you out on that one!!!! These boys are preparing themselves for a season that will turn heads, even yours!!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest caligula Posted October 29, 2002 Report Share Posted October 29, 2002 Yeah Heritage should be a new team. Some of the players took anger management and they will spend a lot less time in foul trouble. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2Hot4U Posted October 29, 2002 Report Share Posted October 29, 2002 I do like the new coach at Heritage but I think that KNOKNO is correct that it will take several years for Coach Rimes to turn Heritage around. I believe that thsi year KNOKNO is correct that they will be near the bottom of the league. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smalltown Posted October 29, 2002 Report Share Posted October 29, 2002 I'd be real careful before I counted Heritage out. I know Coach Rines worked with the Travelers? After being with them all those years, he sure knows how to win and run a successful program. He put together a competitive team at Knox West with the girls, which I thought would be impossible. Coach Wilson, their assistant coach, has won about 400 games with the girl's program and is a legend. With two coaches who know how to win like that, you can bet they'll be better than everybody thinks. I know they are young and I'm sure that will hurt them early on because there is now substitute for experience. But I'd be careful before I counted them out of anything. I don't think they can win the district championship or anything like that, but winning is an attitude, and I bet they'll have it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tigerbsktball Posted October 29, 2002 Report Share Posted October 29, 2002 Smalltown, I would have to say that I agree with you. Those boys needed someone to help them form a team, and Coach Rines and Coach Wilson will definitely do that. I must say that East Tennessee is going to have some good high school basketball this season!!! Good Luck Mountaineers!!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
