I tell you what I love what Andre does for kids and Rocky Top is a good thing but I am amazed at how many kids go into these things trying to blow up themselves instead of working their craft tobget better. Saw a point guard today go 1-12 and the one was a razzle dazzle dippy doo that went in. Cmon kids if you are a point guard show how you run a show and distribute the ball. Just an example. Work your craft all the points of it. Show me a point guard that scores more than he creates and most the time I will show you a 500 team or worse

You are exactly right 12thman. The lack of basketball IQ is scary. I think after watching several teams play, both Hunter Reynolds (CAK) and Luke Smith (Catholic) get it as a PG. I've seen way to many of those guys going 1-12 from outside without trying to do anything different. Even if you are a good shooter, you've got to recognize when it's just not your night from outside. There are plenty of other ways to help your team. I understand trying to work on some weaknesses during a fall league but at crunch time you better revert to your strengths if you want to win. I'm not sure how much of the problem is coaching related but there is way to much emphasis on athleticism vs. basketball skills.

Hunter and Luke are my two favorites in Knoxville. They both get it! Luke is a rare one in that he might actually score more than he dishes night in night out, but I am ok with that when his over all game is as good as it is. He knows how to play and I don't think he has many 1-12 nights. He dials it back if his shot isn't there. Like Connor though, if his shot is on, he is going to keep it rolling. Hunter is just a great kid with a great coach and I really hope both those guys stay healthy all year. But I hope GCA wins 4.......LOL.......Go Rams....CJ ain't too bad up top either......

      After that first paragraph, I can see why you’re a TA and not a teacher. Have you made the move from South Knoxville to Bearden yet?    Maybe he left because he is an actual teacher and coach, and didn’t want to be associated with a group of foul mouthed middle school coaches who like to pretend they’re big time.

      $750,000 Lawsuit Files Against Warren County School District

      Yeah and the coach is gone. Whole bizarre situation here. We played them a couple of times at MTSU last few years. She was a player for sure.

      This whole situation is bonkers. You don’t just kick your star player off the team just because you heard them say the F word; the coach definitely had something against the player, or somebody definitely did. Also, nobody has brought up the idea that the school blackmailed the college to get the college to withdraw the scholarship offer, not to mention that the coach who kicked her off is no longer even with the program; they were fired. I think this is a pretty easy lawsuit. I don’t know if she should deserve that much money, but I think she should get enough money for a full-ride scholarship if she cannot get one after this situation.

      Oh yeah, I’m sure you are different people just always on the same thread for some reason, always agreeing with each other, perhaps just a bunch of dorks who would like to ###### and moan about high school football coaches do a lot of other students, so you make a football team and get a yell at them. When they do something wrong, but I’m sure you don’t like that, do you?   and I’m sure I’m aware of where you get information. A teacher who was on the coaching staff but was fired after the new coaching and staff came in and realized he actually had to start taking his assistant job a little bit more seriously than just wanting to make a little extra cash on the side, hardly even showing up to most practices, should’ve left with his buddy to go to Farragut. I’m sure he could get him a defensive coaching job, but I doubt he will be there in three years. Looking at the way Farragut is currently going.

      It may be hard to believe but there’s more people than me that think you guys are a bunch of losers.    I’m sure the coaching staff, yourself included, cursed at a bunch of high school students. Nobody could name more than 3 coaches on staff due to the constant turnover.
