SouthSide vs CPA

[DAD1]

Well it's been a long season and time to move on. I'm glad I reserved a final entry and since my connection to CPA basketball is graduating I will probably never even visit this board again. My association with CPA is solely as a grandfather of a player. I do not go to the affiliated church and my goal is not to bring anyone to the Lord by my association nor am I too worried about presenting the Christian image of the school some of you refer to. To the close supporters of the school/church if I have embarressed you by embattling some of the opponents of CPA on this board and was not reflective of your views/intent toward your fellow man I apologize. I just refuse to allow people to make abusive remarks without recourse. I know very little about basketball and would never have even posted without what I felt was a need to not let inflammatory comments go unchecked.

Congratulations to Jackson SS for a great game and excellant game plan. To anyone that felt CPA supporters did not appreciate that team you were obviously not in the tunnel when both teams left the building. Every CPA supporter congratulated the SS players and the coaches and their parents. They were all humble and gracious and handled their win with class! Do I think CPA could win in a rematch? Absolutely! Could SS win another one? Absolutely. To redandblack 63 that accused CPA fans of blaming late calls...from what I have seen on here that is a stretch. Charges can go either way. The traveling call on Johnson that would have given CPA the ball with a tie game and a little over 9 seconds left....the rule says a player not in control of the ball that goes to the floor to gain control is allowed to slide without a travel call but we will never know if it made a difference. Calls went both ways all night.

 

To my "buddy" kbrks....I hope some day you get over it. I was told by a knowledgeable source that I have full confidence in *(see what I did there) that you were not retained at CPA because you dressed down some assistants in front of the team....loosing all confidence and respect of the players, parents, coaches, and administration. If that was true there was no way you could be allowed to continue coaching there. You have said you had no vengeful feelings but I was told you would attend games and sit in the stands making notes. I guess you were just trying to learn a few things and improve your coaching skills. I am sorry I can't be more Christ-like concerning you but the bottom line is I don't like you. You present yourself as intelluctually and morally superior to others on the board. I find it strange a grown man with no immediate connection to a particular school being discussed even posts. If I did not have a grandson on the team I would never have posted.....still wouldn't have if not for the need to defend the team. You probably need counselling.

 

To rulefollower.... get a new schtick! Your claim to fame is you saw a Facebook post from one mom to another. You have brought it up several times and claim to have sent it to TSSAA. Quit stalking FB and get a life. Awfully sophomoric of you.

 

To Drew Maddox....thank you for all you have done in the lives of everyone you have touched. You have served as a father figure to many young men that lacked that element in their life and have taught them so many lessons beyond basketball. My family will be forever grateful to you and the other coaches that have filled that gap. I agree with you....you will forever be my grandson's coach!

Any newcomers expected for next season?

I've enjoyed reading your posts and hope you will not be a stranger. Congrats to your grandson for a great year. This senior class at CPA has far exceeded expectations and appears to have maximized their abilities through great coaching and hard work. My best to you and your family.

Your source was wrong, the incident you are making reference to happened in 01-02 or 02-03 during a practice when two young, first year assistants (Coach Couey was one of them) and a young team was not very focused in practice, playing around with each other and yes, I did get on both.  After finding out it did bother them, it was addressed and never happened again after hearing their perspective.  My last year at CPA was 2005-06 so does't seem feasible my contract not being renewed at that time had anything to do with that incident.  (See what I did there, I countered your source with the actual facts, not a personal attack, because like I said, I am not trying to hide anything.  As a friend tells me, I don't care what the truth is, I just simply want to know the truth.)

 

I don't remember taking any notes, but if I did I can assure you if I did it was strictly basketball related (e.g. saw a set I liked or an out of bounds play).  No connection whatsoever with your assumption which is not possible since it has nothing to do with vengeance.

 

No need to say you are sorry, that is between you and Christ, nothing to do with me, but sounds like you have given yourself a reason not to be Christ-like, wonder if He agrees.

 

I have an obvious connection to the school along with two children who graduated which I have said countless times.  And I did not know that anyone had to have a connection to a  school to post, this is a public forum and I post on topics that interest me.
