West High School's next Head Coach

[HTV]

Coach Harig will be one of my guests this morning on East Tennessee Prep Weekly on AM 760 in Knoxville.  He will be joining me around 10:30.  

 

From 10 to 10:30 I will be talking with Matt Fox of Anderson County (ETSU), Cody Reed of Powell (Carson-Newman) and Hunter Lane of Gibbs (Austin Peay) about their college choices.

Last year when Maryville played West on TV that night there was a large crowd even with the rain and it was a very good game and things were run pretty well except a call or two but otherwise it was okay. The following Monday when both teams met for a Freshman and Junior Varsity Game the field was so high and the lines were almost invisible. They might as well played in a cow pasture somewhere. Then the clock operator just let the clock run from the time they scored a touchdown until the ball was run back on the kickoff. This went on and on and no one with any authority at all stepped in to correct this stupidity at it's finest. That is one reason I would never let anyone lower than Cummings move up over there at all because they didn't have enough sense to what god gave a goose how to run a football game.

I was going to respond to this and then I realized it was the Scrooge who actually posted it... Expect nothing less!

Does my experience from watching that really sound like a Scrooge. You had officials and coaches that would not correct the problem. I would have though they had handed the time clock over to a fifth grader.and gave him some popcorn to operate the time clock. You see the reason I was upset is because I'm there to watch someone that is a family member that sometimes don't get in to late in a game and when something happens like that then their chance of getting to play is slim. That's when I get mad when kids get knocked out of playing over someone's stupidity. That evening the game was run by a lot of stupid people.

Hey Barney I know it don't ease your pain, but I have run the clock at some Oak Ridge JV and Freshman games and sometimes it gets awfully hard to remember to push that little button. You forget and start watching the game, but if enough people in stripes yell at you, you get back on track. There should be trained people there for "regular" games but maybe not. In my case I was in the press box and wished I was somewhere else but got it done. It ain't hard you just have to remember what you're there for.

I just enjoy the fact that you love to complain Barney... It truly matters not as to what it is, you just love to complain about anything. Hope that we at Fulton can eventually pass the Barney test!

Look forward to visiting Fulton in 2016. Can't imagine to much to complain there about unless the ground opens up again and swallows the football team.
