With all the talk about Catholic, Alcoa and CAK, what does Scott County and Kingston have returning? I know the Yellowjackets will have new coach. Speaking of which have they hired anyone?

 

To my knowledge Colt has not left the program. I live in Roane County and have multiple connections to Roane County High. Nothing has been reported to-date other than the rumors earlier, and they turned out to be incorrect. There have been no reports in the local papers and my connections indicated recently he was not leaving. Finally, no bulletin is posted for the boys' basketball coaching position on the TSSAA website.

Sounds like a good game (I wasn't born yet LOL). That would have been the next-to-last or last season for our Hall of Fame coach Vernon Osborne. Coach Kirk told me he wants to get Oak Ridge back on t

That should be able to change next year. Catholic isn't playing Webb in basketball anymore so scheduling all district games in January could be realistic.

He did step down, he even told the players. It's not posted because there is a hiring freeze in the county I believe.

 

There is a hiring freeze yet Harriman has posted its vacancy and is seeking a new head coach. So why would Roane County High not post its vacancy if there was one?

 

Think on that for a bit.

Yes, Harriman is going to begin interviews this week according to the Roane County News.

 

865BB, I cannot speak to the meeting you are referring to (it seems you have specific knowledge regarding this), but it appears he is staying. Yes, he is a good coach and Kingston should be happ to have him.

I know this is the 4AA forum but I am curious about the frontrunners for the Harriman job.  You always hear rumors about guys getting a job (usually started by the guy wanting the job lol) but the name I've been hearing associated with that position is Mike Reynolds from Jellico. Would be a good hire.

Would be a good hire.

 

All I can report is what is in the Roane County News. According to Bobby Clark, the AD and Vice-Principal, "we're probably going to have to look at lining up someone with a special education job. . . We've got a teacher leaving so we're going to have a special education spot open. Maybe marketing, so it's going to be very limited on the types of teachers we're going to be looking for."

 

Right now everything is being held close to the vest, but if this information is correct the Jellico coach would have difficulty since he is certified in history and recreation (I guess this is PE?). Who knows, if a school wants someone enough they usually find a spot for him or her.

 

Like I posted in the thread on coaching hires, there were 50+ applicants from what I have been told. The vast majority of these are currently assistant coaches.

 

Mr. Clark said he would pare down the list to about 8 and wanted to get the interview process underway, hopefully by the end of this week.

 

Whoever is hired will be at a disadvantage due to the self-imposed sanctions. Spring practice/camp time would be important to any new coach trying to institute his system.

 

Back on the 4-AA front, unless something unexpected happens, Colt will remain at Roane County High.

      $750,000 Lawsuit Files Against Warren County School District

      By pioneer42 · Posted

      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.

      I am going to assume you are not a lawyer, and most reasonable lawyers would not say the lawsuit has a zero percent chance in court. I agree with you that a coach has the ability to dismiss anyone from a team. However, Ms. Winfree was never presented with the opportunity to present her witnesses and have them tell the coaches and administrators what they heard. A lawyer could better explain the lawsuit and the grounds to you. Before you start making wild assumptions about the lawsuit, would it be too much to ask that you do a little legal research first? The lawsuit is dealing with due process, loss of property, and defamation.   You can read the lawsuit here: https://bdnewsletter.files.wordpress.com/2024/04/doc-1-complaint-filed-4-18-2024.pdf

      The administration took the path of backing the coach and whispering to people that the kid was a problem. The reality is that the kid was never a problem on a team or classroom. The player says she has witnessed who back her not saying the f-word.  Why did the coach make that story up and other stories? I am not Sigmund Freud and do not have an answer for the ex=-coach's behavior..
