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?

      He had an opportunity to be the OC at TC without final say in the offensive gameplan. How does that work? Smh. Head Coaches are public figures regardless of the community size, and yes there are some out there, it’s irrelevant and not fair to them to name them on here. Also why is said “head coach” the head coach of the MS baseball program to begin with? Oh because no one wants it. As for the Lebanon question, I know what I’ve been told so just going off here say, some of the boosters were not happy with his roster decisions and wanted him out. Although he lead them to 20+ wins in multiple seasons

      A head coach in the school system? No I dont think so. Head coaches are public figures in small communities. Not trying to slander, but this is an actual question. Do you know why he was forced to resign at Lebanon? This was his second chance.  He already left trousdale once and had an opportunity to come back a couple of years ago but spoiled that.

      Are you perfect? Nope no one is, at the end of the day there are several teachers/coaches and even some in the Trousdale County school system that have DUI’s on their record. You’re correct on it being a bad mistake and it unfortunately could have ended horribly. While you consider the consequences minimal, I can assure you they are not. Ultimately I hope and have faith that he will learn from it and use it to better himself.
