Ok I had heard this happened but I have never seen something like this before.   Wow!  That’s all I got....wow!  Someone please explain this... I thought this was pregame or during timeout!  Did it really happen for almost 2 min?

 

This was the final 1:30 of the game. Macon has basically dribbled out the clock the entire 4th quarter of the last two games against UHS. I'm not saying I blame them, but just saying this is what they are going to do if they take a decent lead into the 4th quarter against any competitive team. Down 17 with 1.5 minutes to play last night, coach McWilliams just told her players to stop chasing them and fouling, which resulted in what you see in the video. It is a prime example of why we desperately need a shot clock rule for TN high school basketball. Again, I'm not faulting Macon because I'm not sure I wouldn't do the same thing, but it's incredibly boring and kind of a bad look.

Jets lost one of their better players the other night to a torn ACL. They were up 40 in the 4th when it happened. Leaving starters in during 4th quarter against our valley teams, just to paste them might have backfired. Never understood why their best player is firing up 3's in the 4th up by 40+. They have blasted our valley teams for 2 years now. 

Things may change next year.

Dribbling the ball out and spreading the court with the lead is basketball.    You see the team with the lead dribbling the ball and running the clock out in every game, on every night, across America.  That isn't new.  But I have NEVER seen a party at half court with nearly 2 min left in the game.   UHS won't need any motivation next game.  Just press play...  I can tell by their faces the Upperman players don't like it one bit.  This next game may be spectacular.

If a district championship is not motivation enough, what is?

I see the upperman players at fault for letting this happen. Macon is going to kill clock, if upperman does nothing then of course they will just sit their holding the ball. Bad example set if the coach told them to not chase and essentially give up for 2 min.

It’s always Upperman’s fault.  It was their fault when they held the ball at the end of games.  Now it’s their fault when the opposing team holds the ball.

Don't blame the Upperman players! The decision, right or wrong, was made by the coach. Players on both teams played their heart out. They had no chance of catching up. Never know, this might have prevented an injury to a tired player.

Never seen a team just quit like this. Go foul, put in backups, and let them play but do something......don't ever just quit.

It is basketball without a shot clock, which IMHO is not very good basketball and definitely isn't fun to watch. Hence the introduction of the shot clock in the first place. Also, there are states that use a shot clock for high school games (ie. CA for one). Again, just my personal opinion and I don't fault Macon for doing it. I also do not fault coach McWilliams for the decision she made down 17 with 1.5 minutes to go.

Do you ever get tired of lying??  Or is it so habitual that you don’t even realize you’re doing it?  Nothing in your post is true.

    • 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.
