Volleyball Rumors

Update on Bearden...2 applications in only.  One a young, enthusiastic club coach, the other a former coach at a very small college.  A little birdy did whisper in my ear that a certain private school coach would be willing to throw his name in and the person it is would be AWESOME for the program.

Zach Forgani. Another school goes K2. With Webb, Catholic and Bearden now in the fold the Knoxville volleyball market, and parents, have spoken. Philly, surely this wasn't the coach you were talking about. It will be interesting to see how Zach handles this. I like him, but I agree with HA, 1500 doesn't seem like much. This was not a big name hire? Zach, like Brent, could have used a little more seasoning, or mentoring under a more experienced coach. I realize that club parents are weighing in, but this one surprised me.

Zach is a nice guy, but not experienced enough. He's only been an assistant coach at k2 for level 2 teams. We had him, he is fun, but wants to be friends with the girls more than a coach. Hopefully that will change if he is put in a head coaching position. I wouldn't expect a big season from Bearden unfortunately.  Btw..Zach may be k2 but the assistant is KVA. A nice mix for all.

Sorry. Have a lot going on right now with travel volleyball and work. Here is the The Bearden story. There were 4 applications put in. There were a lot of others interested but too afraid to throw their name in the hat. They didn't like how the old coach left the team and thought it would be a tough job to bring back to good status. One person picked the coach. I think Zack will do a great job and the help of his assistant will be perfect. Dave had nothing what so ever to do with this pick. They didn't even ask his opinion.

 

ScottRoss...Post #67 asks you a question. You never responded. Why not? You brought up the idea and then when someone asks you about it you go silent. Kind of funny.

I have a question for all of you volleyball experts. I'm obviously a basketball guy but was curious to see your responses. I've noticed basketball numbers shrinking for the girls. We had to disband our JV program at Catholic because we only had 3 freshman tryout. It seems like there are a lot of good athletes playing volleyball, soccer, and cheering.

 

Does club volleyball totally preclude girls from playing basketball? I understand it for the elite type players but what about the kids getting limited playing time or playing on a "second" team. What per centage of these kids playing club are going on to play in college? If the offerings are mainly at the D2, D3 or NAIA level wouldn't these girls who are good athletes increase their opportunities by playing basketball also?

    • 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... 
    • yeah money aint right there anymore
    • I suppose you are correct but from my understanding it was going to be a situation of the HC saying yay or nay to every play
