Sorry the other 5AA schools do not have the recruiting budget that McMinn Central has to bring the kid to school. As for Tellico all the kids with talent are going to Central. If the kids that live in Tellico went to school there they would be at the state tournament this week and a long time to come. The 8th grader from Tellico has already had her picture made in a Central jersey. But they don't recruit. Young would make a great college recruiter.

That definitely sounds like a violation.

If that's the case show proof of that. Mcminn Fire is the reason girls come to Central. Central cares about their program. There goal every year is to win the gold ball. If Tellico and surrounding areas want to have a great program, then start with a great feeder program which is what the Fire is. Don't make excuses as to why they are so good. The girls and their parents make the decisions as where they are going to go, not Joe Young!

With their huge recruiting budget, what are they doing for this girl? Is she getting a meal plan, maybe getting her books paid for, gas money, or what? Maybe a weekly allowance? Some new Jordan's? I don't think so. She might get a t-shirt or two. But the true reason she's coming to Central is because she might have the opportunity to win a gold ball!

AAU teams are used for recruiting, its common knowledge. So to call an AAU team a feeder program is wrong. A feeder program is your local middle school not an AAU team.

McMinn Fire is not your typical AAU team. It is primarily made up of girls that will attend McMinn Central with the exception of one or two girls usually. The coaches teach them what they will need to know to be ready to play for MC( plays,press, etc). So when they arrive as freshman they are ready for the most part. As for one of the local middle schools, they do not do anything that even closely resembles what MC does. So maybe I'm wrong, but it sure sounds like a feeder program to me. And the Fire organization does not go out and get anyone, these players come to them.

I've known several girls from Meigs who have played for the fire at least one from Rhea and one from Tellico. I know of two from Bradley who were asked to play. But all this is at the middle school age or younger. But to me that's a plus for the program cause I know the coach knew that most of those girls were not going to go to MC. Speaks well of their program. And yes some of them actually asked to join or try out for the Fire. Hope they keep it up.

Central girls assistant coach Joe Young coaches the 8th grade Fire team and is very involved with - if not coaching the 7th graders many times. I know for a fact he encourages certain girls on the Fire team from other areas to consider staying together and coming to Central. Just watch and see how many girls from the current 8th grade Fire team comes to Central that would have normally gone elsewhere - at least 3. There's nothing illegal about this as far as I know, but it's recruiting in a sense.

      I don't know what's going on in the town of McMinnville, but I've read this and it's disturbing.  I'm a "player" person, and I want what's best for the player. If a player gets cut off the team because she said the "F word" then good grief. I mean, come on guys. I wish there was a way for the player to transfer to a different program and just play ball. There are a lot of athletes that are stuck because they're in crappy situations regarding their team/coach. This is player just happens to be one them.

      Won't happen. College coaches will back the coach every time and it cost this young lady her senior season. Looks like the player may be right on this one. School let her  go after one season. This stuff happens more than you think.

      “No college is going to offer a scholarship to a player that is kicked off of the team.” For language? I’m not seeing that as a dealbreaker.

      Why did the coach get rehired after she was let go as an assistant by the former Warren County coach and the current AD?? Is that accurate?? I am very familiar with situations like this. Suprised lawsuits haven't happend before. If the coach unfairly let the player go, I think she has a shot because it cost her a scholarship. No college is going to offer a scholarship to a player that is kicked off of the team. Not going to happen. There are bad hires like this a bunch and kids are treated unfairly by coaches that can't coach a lick and have super long ropes somehow. Amazing how some of these coaches get hired and keep their job.
