Central, Whitehavan get Coaches

High school basketball in 16-AAA will be as interesting as ever next season, thanks to a pair of coaching moves Monday.

 

Faragi Phillips, who coached Mitchell to its second consecutive Class A state title in March, will be the new head coach at Whitehaven, replacing Lawrence Myers.

 

Phillips inherited a Mitchell program that had won a combined seven games in the two seasons before his arrival and turned it into an immediate winner. The Tigers finished as AA state runnersup in 2012 and reached the quarterfinals the next year before dropping down to Class A.

 

“The pieces are there to have great success and sustainability,†Phillips said. “(Whitehaven principal) Dr. (Vincent) Hunter said all the right things. Winning means something to him ... (and) I’m coming in to win right away.

 

“The main thing is to build a foundation, first and foremost my ability to lean on the Lord. And we have to have committed parents and selfless players who are willing to put themselves on the backburner and lift up everyone else in front of them.â€

 

Central's Principal, Greg Mc-Cullough said John Anderson will coach the Warriors next season. He comes to Central after spending the last six seasons at Overton, a fellow 16-AAA school, and replaces Ricardo Patton.

 

“He had great success at Hillcrest and he was an assistant under coach Patton when he was at Colorado,†McCullough said. “And he’s done well at Overton; his success speaks for itself. And he’s a high-character guy, which is something that we had to have.â€

 

Anderson coached Overton to a 22-10 record this past season, losing to East in the semifinals of the region tournament. His 343 victories rank fifth in the area among active coaches.

    • They’ve both gotten worse. I’ve seen enough games to know that. 
    • The only two transfers that Bearden has gotten that went on to play college football were a defensive back from Karnes, who transferred here way before the new coaching staff got here, and a running back from Carter, who went on to play at Maryville College. Both players received those offers while at Bearden, and both players got a diploma from Bearden High School. Therefore, they are Bearden kids, and you can’t do anything about that.   The transfer from Seymour didn’t win the job, what do you expect two quarterbacks to start at the same time? He played great on JV when he could stay healthy, and when he came in on varsity, he did great. The quarterback position is definitely going to be in good hands when the current starting quarterback leaves, but until then, they’re just going to be battling it out like every good quarterback competition does. The current starting quarterback has his flaws, and that is in the pass game, but what he doesn’t have flaws is running and scrambling, and if you go back and watch any game, which I’m sure you didn’t watch any, we used him very often, and when we needed a deep ball, we brought in the transfer from Seymour. The starting quarterback last year will be a senior this year, and the Seymour transfer will be a junior, so the Seymour transfer is definitely going to get his spotlight. He may even win the job this year. Football isn’t about who the newspaper thinks is the best kid. The best kid in the position will win the starting job, and I trust the coaching staff more than a newspaper or article to pick my starting QB.
    • I mean, we’ve only gotten two transfers that went on to play college football, one who went to UT Martin came his second semester junior year before the new coaching staff was here, and the other one went on to play at Maryville College, in which I don’t believe he had any interest prior to transferring.
    • An FYI: To see how an opponent has done against another opponent since 2001- go to the game by clicking on one of the teams. Click the G beside the game. For example, Milan: The info will show you the previous matchups and other info.
    • All these college signees went yo other schools for 3 years, were getting college offers then transferred to Bearden. It’s not like this staff did much to develop them.    The BBall coaches son and the Seymour transfer were some of the most talented QBs in the region, and you guys developed them into QBs who might complete one pass a game.
