Johnny's right hand man and wasn't he the Jr High or Middle school coach?

 

Joe coached at a county elementary school until a few years ago. What is important is how this will affect McMinn Central girls basketball. All the non-local girls playing for Central came there BECAUSE of Joe Young, not Johnny Morgan. Morgan's season winning went up about 20% after Joe Young started helping him. That isn't a coincidence since it's well known that Joe is the brains and the heartbeat of the program. Morgan has enough young talent now to make it to substate the next couple of years, but his feeder system of the out of area talent may start drying up when Joe isn't there. I predict Morgan will resign after 2014 or 2015.

I will agree that many girls came to Central because of Joe Young. But as long as Central makes a strong hire, I don't think anything will change. I believe you will still see the same players come to Central Next year. Young will still work with the Fire program and it will continue to put out good, quality players. Yes, Centrals record was much better when Young came on board. But Johnny Morgan is a legend. Put two great coaches together and the results speak for themselves. The true winner here is Jeff Rice and TWC. You will not find another coach that can teach the game from a fundamental standpoint like Joe Young. I personally think that he could have named his ticket to many places but this was a good fit for him and his family. MC will miss him but they will be back and in the mix as usual.

Interesting. I wonder why he resigned.

 

I would say that deep down, he did not want to leave CHS. I believe that he really wants to watch his children play ball. He did what is most important to him and his family. That is very important to some people. I have to admire him for leaving something he's worked so hard to build, so that he can be a dad for a while. Family is important to Joe Young and that shows you what kind of person this man is!

 

 

It's just a hunch..........but I think he will be back :)

The question remains who will Johnny Morgan hire as his assistant? According to those close to the situation, Johnny wants to hire a proven head coach who can take over the practices and actually be the head coach like Joe Young was. Johnny's record was very average before Joe Young came along so it's pretty well known that Johnny can't be successful unless he has someone who can do all these things. Alcoa head coach Tonya Gay is leading the rumor list so the booster club will probably have to kick in some major $$ in order to get her. Even if Jonny can't get her or someone who can run the program, he will step down from coaching within a couple years.

I think it would be hard for Coach Johnson to leave Alcoa even to go coach at her old high school, teachers salary at Alcoa is one of the highest in the area. Also why give up a head coaching position to be an assistant.

Maybe the money isn't the only thing that is important to her. Also, if the rumor is true and Coach Morgan does step down in a couple of years, why not learn from a Hall of Fame coach with the opportunity to take over a powerhouse program at your alma mater in a few years.

      I agree with the Farragut and Bradley claim. Those will both be wins. Bearden like you say is depending on when you get them in comparison to when the wheels fall off.  As far as West goes I’m 50-50. They have been able to reload so far so until they show me they haven’t I can’t count them out.

      during the 2nd round of the playoffs last year against Milan, Gray partially tore his meniscus. He had a minor repair around Thanksgiving. Recovery time was minimal and he has been full force for baseball this season.

      $750,000 Lawsuit Files Against Warren County School District

      By thegreatwhite1 · Posted

      Playing high school sports is a privilege not a right.  The college did not have to rescind the scholarship.  Scholarship offers are pulled all the time for a number of reasons. That was 100% their choice.  A coach can keep, cut, or dismiss any player that they want to without reason anytime they want.  Is that the right way to run a program?? I don't think that it is, but these are the facts of the matter. This case has absolutely 0% chance of going in the plaintiff's favor. Futhermore, I'd imagine that these administrators and the coach are a part of some teaching or coaching organization that will cover at least 1 million dollars each in legal fees. Obviously the kid and her family feel like there were "damages" thus the lawsuit.  Unfortunately, the law is not on their side in this case.

      Maryville will recapture the loses from last year against West, Bradley and Farragut. The Bearden game will be the tough one but I look for the wheels to come off that ride somewhere down the road because of all the crap that goes on there. I know to many parents there and some of the things I've been told and some of the post a few of them have made on facebook. They all can't be liars.
