Glad he is finally gone. Should have never hired him back. You can only cuss and degrade players so much. Not one of the past players have liked Brown. Wished the AD would get rid of Girls Coach. 

Likely replacements are Whitten. And Stacey Riley. 

[concernedbobcat]

I don't think Bingham can pass test! 

And Brown wasmt forced out. He brought it upon himself. 

[Bobcats83]

Never should have hired brown is right.  Degrading players, cursing, belittling and making them feel like lower than dirt isn't discipline, it's character traits not needed by good coaches  

Whitten is a good choice, gotta stay in house this late

I am hearing that they are just going to have an interim this season. I'm not from McNairy but Bingham would get my vote. He does a good job as an asst at Hardin Co. Saw him this summer doing a lot of coaching by himself.

Hopefully somebody is working these kids out right now for preseason. Weight room, conditioning, etc... I feel real bad for the kids. 

[Bobcats83]

Terrible for the kids and the program.  Several players from Selmer Middle have gone to Adamsville.  Decision should have been made before school started.

Now facebook post says they can't fill position until some legal matters are cleared up.  What does that mean

This was a very bad hire to begin with. Never should have happen. After the 1st year, he tried to leave and take the Head Basketball job at Kossuth, MS. There was talk about letting him go after that, but he was kept. Again, a big mistake. 

The talk about a month ago was that he had been fired. But, nothing was ever officially said. Then, it came out that he had obtained a lawyer and was going to sue and fight it. Still, nothing offical ever came out. Then, a post was made last week on a Facebook page that contained a statement from Brown saying they had mutally agreed to part ways, etc. etc. Then, at the bottom, it had a disclaimer that pretty much said any negative comments could result in legal action being taken against that person. So, with all this legal stuff being thrown around, I suspect that lawyers may be still apart of this whole thing.

There were some kids from Selmer and Bethel that did go to Adamsville. I don't think it will hurt them that bad but you never want to lose athletes. Of course, they have already lost some the past couple years because of him anyway. However, I have been told that there are a lot of kids talking about coming back out to basketball now that he is gone. So, that is development to watch.

The names I have heard are assistant coaches Whitten and Dancer and the Selmer Middle School Coach Riley. I would really like Bingham to get the job. I, along with many others was hoping he would get the job when it was given to Brown. But, I don't know if he has the qualifications to be a Head Coach and that was the reason why he didn't get it a few years back. That's just what a lot of people I have talked to have told me. I think he would be a tremendous coach and the kids would play for him.

Dancer is the "unnamed" from my post...some influential people in Selmer initially said that it would be offered to either Dancer or Riley first, but you know how time affects this kind of process, and that was weeks ago. The "qualifications" you speak of are meaningless if the administration wishes to hire Bingham, unless you are meaning that they have reservations. Even non faculty can be hired as assistants with a simple online exam and a background check...moving forward from that, the same assistant can then be hired as head coach after a five year involvement, even if all are not with the same system. I hope that this move works out for the Bobcats, but the timing couldn't be much worse.

Don't know where that came from.  They had a preacher's son in Forsythe.

 

There are coaches all over this country doing the discipline that is necessary without cussing kids and those that are doing it should be made to stop.  Period

Selmer Middle School coach Stacy Riley has been named interim Head Coach for the season. The position will be evaluated at the end of the year. 

I think this is a pretty good hire considering the circumstances. Former player, he has had a lot of success at the Middle School level, a lot of the current players have played for him. Most of the kids liked playing for him and he can keep kids from going to Adamsville. This is an opportunity to see how he handles the high school game and if he does well, he gets the job, if not, they can perform a coaching search.
