AlcoaBasketball Posted March 2, 2015 Report Share Posted March 2, 2015 IMO, Boydstone has made Carter as good as they are. I don't think they just "happened" to go from 8-22 to 26-8 last year with virtually the same team. The right coach can make all the difference in the world.

redandblack63 Posted March 3, 2015 Report Share Posted March 3, 2015 My point is simple. Talent was there. Bull had developed it. He went thru the growing pains of playing those guys as freshman and sophomores. Not saying Boilstone hasn't done a good job. What I am saying is the process now starts over with far less talented Freshman and Sophomores coming up. Don't think considering all the issues this past year he will be willing to hang around and take his lumps. Kirk had a similar situation at Alcoa this past year. Took his lumps with lots of young talent. Looking to reap the rewards in the future. Do you think Alcoa needs a new coach to get them over the top.

Maybe its me but I think Joel Kirk does a good job at Alcoa. He had a really young team and they were competitive. I know Catholic plays a lot of young kids but the difference is Catholic played those kids as freshman and took their lumps. Alcoa had a lot of seniors last year and most, if not all of the current players even played (except for Anderson). Alcoa plays a really tough schedule as well. Next year Alcoa will be a tough team to play with. Edited March 3, 2015 by QSouth89 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In my opinion, yes, Alcoa does need a new coach if they want to contend for championships of any kind. I'm sure Kirk is a good person, but he is not what Alcoa needs. Alcoa might have been young, but Oak Ridge was too, and look what they have done this year. Alcoa was young sounds more like an excuse from Kirk than anything to cover for himself. From what I heard, Alcoa will make a change after the state tournament at the latest. In reality, it's a move they just have to make. Keep an eye out for it.

I think a change is coming at Alcoa. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And like Catholic, Oak Ridge played those young kids as freshmen and sophomores too. Edited March 3, 2015 by QSouth89 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
865BB Posted March 3, 2015 Report Share Posted March 3, 2015 I will say it's tough to win in that district with Catholic and CAK plus the schedule they played with a team that young. Catholic at least had the benefit of a few really good seniors which Alcoa didn't have... Alocoa will or should have a nice team next year.
