Brentwood coach Dennis King retires

[thegame523]

Seems to me the new coach wanted to bring in his own guy, Vince Carter Sr. to be an assistant this why you probably so the others leave.

 

Possibly. I just took a new job myself and brought my top assistant with me, but every assistant on the previous staff had the choice to stay or go and they all chose to stay. I realize each situation is different and each coach has his own preferences. I like having at least 1 or more guys who are familiar with the present players, administration, parents, situation etc...

Boys Basketball in Williamson County should be very strong this year.  The top of this district will be very strong and AAA metro has some good teams as well including Hillsboro, Cane Ridge, and Overton.  The region tourney should be very good.

No, it's because some assistants who wanted the head job went to other district schools where they were being recruited. In the short term, they felt more welcome at places where they weren't passed over.

At least one of them would have left anyway if the other got the job. No surprise either way. I heard this had something to do with the decision to look outside the box.

Usually you do not want to be the guy who replaces a legend. It VERY rarely works out well. Ask every football coach after  Carlton Flatt at BA.  Heck ask Hatley what it was like replacing King the first time he gave it up.

any head coach in this kind of situation should be allowed to bring in their own people. having someone on staff that feels they should have had the job is chaos waiting to happen...maybe this would have been different but it has been my experience that it very rarely works...too much animosity.
