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......

      And can you tell me who those two quarterbacks were, and every kid that was put into college from Bearden is a Bearden kid? It’s kind of why they graduated from Bearden.   and I would definitely not consider ETSU “waste”…

      Most of this is complete gibberish. But the one part I could decipher is putting kids in college. This coaching staff hasn’t put a single Bearden kid in college. They completed wasted one of the best WRs in East TN and have ruined two talented QBs. All because they’re in over their heads.

      Well, I’d hope the new coaching staff thinks they are all that because they can always walk around the school, anytime they want, thinking that, especially for what they’ve done for the student athletes and the players, putting more kids in college in his first season than the old coaching staff did in numerous years combined, but we will just sweep over that because I know you don’t like facts. But trust me, nobody wanted Mr. Big britches, made the star player switch to quarterback, which is ultimately the reason he ended up transferring to play the position. He loved, but unfortunately, had to be at another school because Mr. Big Britches doesn’t like when a teenager knows more than him, but can’t expect much coming from a guy who used all class throwing pencils up into the ceiling and making fun of football kids who were failing class right to their face, and in front of numerous students, even projecting on the board most of the time.

      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.

      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.
