Don't confuse style with scheme.  In college you can recruit to both.  In HS unless you have the same personnel each year, it is better to fit the scheme to the personnel.  That year a scheme with 4 p

I agree. Thats why an evalution by those that understand the game can be done with a decent sample size.   If a person uses a scorebord to determine whether or not a team is coached well, played goo

Hey DAD1 when you illegally recruit like CPA does its hard for the rest of us to be fair in any evaluation.  How's that AAU program going over there that Drew is a part of?

PlayersCoach, housekeeping made the bed at CPA not Kbrks. That is fact. The program was a solid and consistent winner the right way with home grown kids. After that, the situation turned very different very quickly. Those are facts as well. I think getting burned by the dark side of AAU may have caused the sudden change of heart. Funny when it gets done to you it takes the giddiness out of it.

 

As for you and Kbrks, you both have your own side to the debate. Obviously, neither is going to change their outlook.  Letting it get to this point is on the two of you. Both need to let it go.

 

 

Care to elaborate on "getting burned by the dark side of AAU may have caused the sudden change of heart"?

Back to the topic: CPA has a mediocre record (for them) at 12-7. Interesting to note that one of those losses was to an average Ridgeway team over Christmas. But look at the records of the other 6 teams that beat them:

- Cane Ridge - 16-1 (#10 in the state)

- Pope John Paul - 16-4 (#7 in the state)

- Corinth, MS - 19-1 (#2 in the state)

- University Lab, La - 17-3 (#3 in the state)

- Spain Park, AL - 16-7 (#2 in the state)

- Mountain Brook, AL - 17-5 (#5 in the state)

CPA is now 5-0 in their district. They are not, by far, a state contender, but I finally went to a game last week and, to be honest, it is amazing how well they have done with what they had coming back and the young guys on the bench. They start 1 Sr., 2 Jr.,1 Soph., and 1 Fr.

They returned only 1 starter from last year - their 4th leading scorer, and one other player that was in their top 5 off the bench. Only 2 of their top 10 players returning.

They have won every game they should have won, and even upset a team or two. They may not go far in postseason, but they are having a good year with the talent they have.

I would say when you beat any good team with 1 returning starter and 1 other second 5 returning player and only about 15% of your previous year's scoring, it is an upset. 

But they definitely "upset" Westview who is now 15-3 and only lost to Simeon, Ill by 7. They also would have been considered underdogs against Webb, who beat a good FRA team and handed Fulton their only loss, and a good CAK team, who beat FRA and a very good Knox. Cath. team.

The KY tourney they won was not great competition but it was at least equal competition and they won it on the road. That was an upset, IMO.

But I get it, they can never do enough for you to give them or their coaches any props. If they win every game, you consider them cheaters and classless. If they lose every game, you consider it bad coaching. No one will change your outlook, so I won't even try.

Just thought I would try to update the thread subject which was "CPA basketball interesting year ahead". Have a great night.

No, you don't get it, but you and certain others never have.  Asking a question since you did not give any support to the statement in your original post should not be a problem.  Simply wondering what you meant.  Being met with that type of defensiveness and response says a lot about you.  You are absolutely wrong.  I have never considered them cheaters and classless based on winning or bad coaching based on losing.  I have provided the reasons for why I believe what I believe and it has nothing to do with simply winning or losing.  And if you were honest and objective you would admit the types of comments you made have no basis in truth.  But not to worry, I am used to it and you have taught me to expect nothing less.

      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.
