I think Kendal Dancy at Haywood has done the most with the least recently.  Not only did he lose a ton of talent to graduation he doesnt have alot of help from administration. If Haywood put a little more in their facilites and programs I think this guy could put state contenders on the floor every year.

Very good stuff. I'll be looking some of these guys up to watch online if possible. Some of these I have watched already and even a few I have talked with (picked their brain) and learned from. I appreciate the input and welcome any others. Not many from Memphis area on here obviously. Thanks again!

Why should they put more into facilities if he don't put the time in with his players. Do you ever see Dancy in the summer time? He had that team since middle school that won the state. So you don't really have to do much, but if you put in that extra work just imagine how good they would be. Not knocking him or hating on him, just don't think he is 1 of the best coaches. also, the team he put on the floor last year was no push over. 3 of his starters was playing major minutes so not really a down year

Aaron is a very good coach. Three years ago let's call it like it is they were robbed of a title. One of the worse calls I've ever seen but human error happens. Two years ago they drew Memphis East they have 3 major D-1 recruits (unless I'm wrong maybe more). Last year they were upset by Davey Crockett. Upsets happen in basketball but Crockett had a good team.

I say best coaches are ones who have to work with less. Not Haywood, or Oak Ridge. Me or the posters on here could coach these teams to 20 wins a year on talent alone. A lesser program who no one ever talks about but is always consistent year in and out

Colt Narramore at Kingston does a fantastic job, Kevin Windle at WB. The coach at Scott Co is really good just no talent. Grainger County has a really good coach as well.

I heard at the Rocky Top that Scott County's coach took an assistant coaching position at Alcoa. When I made my list of coaches it was based on coaches who are competitive with less talent while playing tough schedules. My under appreciated list lol: Gary Barnes, Randy Moore, Mike Hutchens, Bill Duncan, Shane Wells and I agree Colt Narramore is an excellent coach. Lee Henson does a good job too. Edited by QSouth89

I don't think you can hold it against a guy's coaching ability if he happens to have the players.

 

IMO, I think the best coaches are the ones who sustain excellence over time (i.e. program builders) but winning a state championship(s) isn't necessary to prove you are a great coach. IMO, great players are much more necessary than great coaching when it comes to winning state titles. If it was just coaching, the best coaches would win titles every year in hoops.

 

Even in football, I think guys like Quarles and Rankin should be considered great coaches because of the sustained excellence of their programs, not because of their number of state titles. They have racked up the state titles because they have better players than their opponents, generally speaking. Nick Saban didn't win national titles at Michigan State but was the same coach there as he has been at LSU and Alabama.

Prior to Dancy taking over how many 20 win seasons did Haywood have?  Every since he has been at Haywood he has averaged 20+ wins every season PLUS a state championship.  What Haywood team has won or even been in the state finals prior to Dancy? Your post shows how good of a coach he is if he can maintain a competitive group from middle school through high and win the ultimate prize.  All this guy does is win!!!

    • They’ve both gotten worse. I’ve seen enough games to know that. 
    • The only two transfers that Bearden has gotten that went on to play college football were a defensive back from Karnes, who transferred here way before the new coaching staff got here, and a running back from Carter, who went on to play at Maryville College. Both players received those offers while at Bearden, and both players got a diploma from Bearden High School. Therefore, they are Bearden kids, and you can’t do anything about that.   The transfer from Seymour didn’t win the job, what do you expect two quarterbacks to start at the same time? He played great on JV when he could stay healthy, and when he came in on varsity, he did great. The quarterback position is definitely going to be in good hands when the current starting quarterback leaves, but until then, they’re just going to be battling it out like every good quarterback competition does. The current starting quarterback has his flaws, and that is in the pass game, but what he doesn’t have flaws is running and scrambling, and if you go back and watch any game, which I’m sure you didn’t watch any, we used him very often, and when we needed a deep ball, we brought in the transfer from Seymour. The starting quarterback last year will be a senior this year, and the Seymour transfer will be a junior, so the Seymour transfer is definitely going to get his spotlight. He may even win the job this year. Football isn’t about who the newspaper thinks is the best kid. The best kid in the position will win the starting job, and I trust the coaching staff more than a newspaper or article to pick my starting QB.
    • I mean, we’ve only gotten two transfers that went on to play college football, one who went to UT Martin came his second semester junior year before the new coaching staff was here, and the other one went on to play at Maryville College, in which I don’t believe he had any interest prior to transferring.
    • An FYI: To see how an opponent has done against another opponent since 2001- go to the game by clicking on one of the teams. Click the G beside the game. For example, Milan: The info will show you the previous matchups and other info.
    • All these college signees went yo other schools for 3 years, were getting college offers then transferred to Bearden. It’s not like this staff did much to develop them.    The BBall coaches son and the Seymour transfer were some of the most talented QBs in the region, and you guys developed them into QBs who might complete one pass a game.
