Though I agree with most of what you said, I think most of Brentwood's administration would take issue with your last comment. BHS principal Kevin Keidel is himself a former basketball head coach and King has arguably the best staff in the state. When King inevitably retires, LaVergne head coach/AD Jeremy Moore and Mt. Juliet coach Troy Allen (quite similar to King in their approach if not as experienced or perhaps yet skilled) will likely receive calls about the job, though it's questionable whether either would want to make a lateral move to Brentwood or directly follow in King's shadow.

 

Without naming names, there are a few assistants and ex-assistants I could name as potential successors to King, but those decisions are heavily dependent on internal politics, including whether or not someone is eligible to teach in Williamson County. However, in terms of running a proven system, the blueprint (masterminded by King, of course) is in place. Just as Xavier went from Pete Gillen to Skip Prosser to Thad Matta to Sean Miller, there are plenty of coaches and former players around Brentwood's program familiar with that blueprint.

Didn't King step down a few years ago due to either burnout or health problems? If I remember correctly the program went downhill on a scooter...he came back and revived it.

Youre not very good at assumptions. And your perception is not my reality. Have a seat. And talk about basketball, not cosmetology class.

You are correct. Randy Hatley was hired from Page (I think) and wasn't able to replicate King's success during those few years.

 

That said, I would bet the administration will be much more savvy in hiring the next successor. Keidel (who wasn't in charge back in 2003 the last time King "retired") knows what he's doing.

Hey Darkside, the Brentwood Middle School 8th grade team went undefeated this year winning the county championship and the TNT State Championship. They also went undefeated as 7th graders and won the Willismson County JV championship last yr. Thry won nearly 40 straight games in 2 yrs with only 1 victory in single digits. all the others were blowouts. I don't think we will have to wait 16 yrs. Put it this way, we will be bsck to the state tourney sooner than White County.

Ssssshhhh!! Don't set off the sensitive White Co. fans! Lord knows their overwhelming "tradition" and rabid fan base will keep the rich, spoiled kids in our program from ever making State again :P

This was one of the more exciting finishes to a TN state tournament game i've seen. ...

Brentwood never gave up and were one loose ball/rebound a way from finishing it out....the rebound went through Brentwoods hands and Hamilton scored......great game by 2 good teams with 2 totally different styles and talent level.....

Out of curiosity could someone list all of the White County boys state tournament appearances, championships, etc. (what years) On another front I felt really old watching Todd Day coaching Hamilton. I saw him play in the state tournament for Mem Northside back in the day. I miss seeing guys like Joe Branch, Verties Sails, and Terry Tippett roaming the sidelines for the Memphis teams back in the day. I thought the 73 Melrose team with Gunn, Bradley, and Wright was the best I ever saw.

I dont know the exact years, but White County has went to the state tourney in the 50's 60's 70's 80's 90's. I think the 40's as well. We won back to back AAA state championships in 98 and 99. Our boys and girls have been to state 13 times since 1980

      So much talk about an investigation about student record manipulation and then everything has went silent. Has anyone heard how the investigation is going?

      Basically what you're saying is schools can basically bully students around and get away with it because they are protected. I agree to a certain extent but when schools decisions to keep knuckleheads on staff starts costing kids careers and a college education there is a problem. Our school system last week had a teacher supposedly push a kid and the parents went to the law and the teacher is suspended. So I wouldn't say that they can just do what they want without liability. This case don't pass the smell test because the coach had already been fired before and she got fired after a year on the job. Sounds like the student was right in this case on the outside looking in because the coach gets fired after one year. How many coaches get fired after one year?? Not many.

      Problem with DB football goes beyond coaching. Like Waco said. Thr band is the main focus of their community and school. They have the resources to be a championship level team. Guarantee Ballard or Witten could have them nationally relevant at some point but everyone down to peewee would have to buy in and at DB we all know that would never happen.
