Clint's Line in the Sand?

So is Trousdale Co.Director of Schools Clint Satterfield pushing the separation of public and private schools in athletics? http://www.tennessean.com/article/20130507/SPORTS07/305070027 I had heard he had a proposal to bring the two divisions back together. And could this actually help the private schools by sending the students who don't play football to surrounding counties? As a parent of a girl (not in TC), I would be calling my county commissioner and the director himself asking why he won't even give her a chance to compete, win or lose, for championships. And my coaches always told me in order to get better you have to play better competition. What are your thoughts?

The only message Satterfield is sending to his kids is, when things are not right,you stand up and fight it. We used to have slavery in this country,I guess they should have just accepted it.Just bec

Ha...if the roles were reversed...and we held all the summer sports camps to recruit smart athletic kids like Goodpastor does...we'd be playing UP...instead of asking TSSAA to put us in RBS district.

Satterfield is the one who proposed that all private and public schools play each other during the regular season and then have separate playoffs. That got voted down handily. Now he wants to take his ball and go home. The only reason he is not forfeiting in football also is that He would then not be eligible for the playoffs and you can't have that in Hartsville. If the TSSAA would put that rule across the board for ALL sports instead of just football, I bet he would get over himself.

I just see it as a major insult to every girl and the boys who don't play football. The multiplier is the "agreed-upon equalizer" for this issue. If I read the enrollment chart correctly Trousdale has 391 students in grades 9-12. If you back out the multiplier, Goodpasture would only have 335. I know they will argue their 335 are recruited, better athletes, etc. But I refer you back to the earlier point of the multiplier. If that isn't enough, go through the process and change it. But don't take your ball and go home, mentioned in bigcheif's post.

He might tell TSSAA to go get drunk, and withdraw from there crappyclassless organization...lying, cheating, thieving crooks...

The other sports also have a postseason district tournament, you can overcome a forfeit in the regular season. In football, it might be the difference between getting in and not getting in, or going on the road at a powerhouse.

Would love to hear from some Trousdale parents who actually have kids being affected by this.

 

Really?....Its not a big deal around here...i've talked to several parents already, they were thrilled to not have to drive to Madison...now if we can just get RBS and Gville on board...maybe Watertown and Merrol Hyde will change their stance and join along...

 

 

Can anybody answer my question of WHY did GP decide to move down?

I have been told by an old Goodpasture alum that they have 100+ less students than during the last classification period. I am sure that the poor economy has not helped Goodpasture and all the other private schools.

Yes, really, Slim. I'd like to hear from someone in TC with a child who doesn't play football. I don't really want to hear what YOU say they are saying. I'd also wonder how the coaches of the "PE Class" sports feel about being told they have no chance to compete for district, region or state titles as long as GP is in the mix. I bet they are sharpening their resume's.

 

And to your question about moving down, check out the reclassification page at this link http://www.tssaa.org/Classifications/classification.cfm. Their size would make them 1A and the rule is you can't move up 2 classes. It was also a decision by a small handful of administrators, so I'm told. Not a popular decision with the masses, though.

Well as far as that goes 1A is a sub-class of Class A..IN FOOTBALL ONLY...if it were classed off of ACTUAL CLASSES such as baseball,softball,basketball,soccer,track and every other sport EXCEPT football....they would be moved to class AA as a result of the multiplier.

 

So i guess it just depends on interpretation.

But it's not. So it doesn't depend on interpretation. Sub-class? All teams play in one of 3 classes in the regular season - A, AA and AAA. In the playoffs they divide them into 6 classes. It's stupid but it's the way it is. The TSSAA loves their 8 championships. No way they reduce the number of classes.

      From my understanding, Jay Graham pretty much took over HC responsibilities in that game, so you can thank him. Cute Andy didn’t need help, though. Cute Andy could’ve beaten us without any assistant coaches.

      Head Coaching Jobs in West TN

      By warmachine7954 · Posted

      Tax payer dollars are paid for certified teachers to "teach" and then coach. The primary job is to teach.  There are some district that ay awesome supplements and others that don't. Dyersburg and Dyer County are pretty close if I remember correctly. I would imagine that Football and basketball are above $10,000 now.  I've heard that Milan is $20,000 for boys basketball. I would imagine that football is more than that in Milan.  Collierville has camps that coaches get paid extra for. 3 camps a year, 100 kids a camp, $30,000 right there.  There are places like Memphis-Shelby County schools where the supplements are garbage even for the head coaches. I made less than $3,000 as the head assistant at Germantown in 2015 when we were 26-4 and one of the best teams in the Southeast. As a head middle school coach next year I will make between $4-5,000 at a municipal in Shelby County.  Coaches should be compensated for the jobs that are required but lets keep in mind that they are educators first.  It's pretty frustrating to other teachers that work their tale off teaching 6-7 classes a day to watch someone roam campus, not teach (or have very minimal responsibilities), and get paid the same (more with supplements) as a person who has the some years of experience or sometimes less.

      This will get coaches leaving the profession very quickly if this kid wins this case. This is absurd...
