Any thoughts on this?

Butch Hopkins used to do it at Dyer County (then AA) in the late 90s for a few years.

Derrick McCord does it at Dyer County now. He's had winning seasons with both but they're AAA and have to go through Memphis.

It can be a great thing if a coach isn't overwhelmed with too many duties at school.

True. Coach Rudesill has done it for years at Bolivar too. I think you are right. If he has a lot of teaching duties at the school it will be tough. I hear the boys have a good group coming in.

The issue at Milan with the boys is baseball and football. Those two sports are going to take precedent like they always have.

The girls were really good about 10-12 years ago.

The kids that play football and basketball makes it hard on hoops because you don't have those kids all pre-season and takes until January to get them in Hoops shape. Baseball really don't impact hoops unless a kid don't play basketball because they don't want to miss out on the pre-season baseball stuff.

Yeah Milan is a traditional football school for sure. didn't know they emphasized baseball though.

The timing of baseball season doesn't mess with basketball but the attitude does. Milan is Football first and baseball is a close second. It is a culture that is hard to change in a lot of places.

One thing you have to consider is that each program will get the same attention from the Coach. It's hard for a coach to overcome their natural pull to one side either the girls or boys game.  You will get a lot of talk about this from parents. ie: the girls don't get attention they need because the coach favorite is the boys or the boys don't get a fair shake during the games cause Coach made the Refs made during girls game. Just get ready its going to be said.  The Coach needs to be limited as to duties other than basketball and will require assistants to be focus on just one side of the equation. Too much cross over between teams will cause a drag. Just speaking from what have seen and that's coming from a school where so far its has worked pretty darn good and sent teams from both sides to Murfreesboro.

Not even on the radar. It’s a shame really. I think Dancy probably did it because he will get two stipends and the money will be really great. But he probably has bitten off a lot more than he can chew. I wish him nothing but the best though. 

Is it because there is a stigma around basketball or do they not have the kids to compete?

    • Yea I agree I will say tho I was a big “ v “ fan if an  opening ever did happen I think it would’ve been good to see him have a shot coming from a power house like Oakland. I’m sure he’s learned a lot from Kevin.  I bet he would bring a really good offense scheme IMO But after all this I just dunno anymore.  Whatever happens with the rumors an such if it did come to and opening I think this messes it all up.  The board members dreams are slowly slipping away now. I haven’t lived there for awhile I just hear what I hear, but my question is would there be any good potential candidates?? That’s why I don’t understand why people want b s out so bad who else could do any better ?? IMO there’s nothing attractive about it? As I stated earlier I went to the last game last year and taking a leak in a porta Potty is pretty sad and still nothing being done they say .. 
    • I have a sophomore that can do 177 (preferred) or 192. Sent you an email.
    • speaking of board members how can a man get arrested 12 days ago and still be head coaching a team in TC school system? looks like your right about the tc board members. I bet it would be different if they had a kid on the team
