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.

Even if you are losing and you have called off the dogs.  You still pretend to play defense and you don't foul.  You definitely don't order pizza and talk about getting your nails done.  I was waiting

I think MC and UHS will battle out for 1st again. But I think MC will be the slight favorite. York should compete very well in the district next year as well.  I think Carter for MC has a great s

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.

      Groves got the ball over 20+ times. His son arguably played the best for East in that game. 3rd and long multiple times and he came up big to continue a couple drives. Please shut up for the 3rd year in a row

      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.
