Erick Baird. Finished 2nd against White Co in district championship, hosted a region game at WC for first time in 35+ years. 2010-11 season I think. I think she can be a good coach, but she needs "basketball" assistant coaches to help her game plan and help teach defense. One person cannot do it alone in AAA basketball.

Baird did a much better job up there than he got credit for IMO. Worked hard on his feeder program and was competitive almost every year going up against White County, the Odom teams at Cookeville, and  Cumberland after Miller came in. I used to see him  every Saturday and Sunday at a gym somewhere coaching or watching a WC travel ball team in the spring.

True, talent and that "want" to get better during off season. The county is 50 years behind everyone else. It's the mentality of parents and kids alike there. There are some good kids there, but they stay the same through the years. You have to experience WC to understand WC. Outsiders have no clue. It's about the time and effort these girls put in, I know all the other teams have girls playing constantly in AAU (TN Rush, Flight) and working with individual trainers, so yes, even the most average player will be better than a "seasonal" player, who works only during the season.

    • I agree with the Farragut and Bradley claim. Those will both be wins. Bearden like you say is depending on when you get them in comparison to when the wheels fall off.  As far as West goes I’m 50-50. They have been able to reload so far so until they show me they haven’t I can’t count them out. 
    • during the 2nd round of the playoffs last year against Milan, Gray partially tore his meniscus. He had a minor repair around Thanksgiving. Recovery time was minimal and he has been full force for baseball this season. 
    • What do ya’ll think the O/U will be? I would set the line at 2.5 
    • Playing high school sports is a privilege not a right.  The college did not have to rescind the scholarship.  Scholarship offers are pulled all the time for a number of reasons. That was 100% their choice.  A coach can keep, cut, or dismiss any player that they want to without reason anytime they want.  Is that the right way to run a program?? I don't think that it is, but these are the facts of the matter. This case has absolutely 0% chance of going in the plaintiff's favor. Futhermore, I'd imagine that these administrators and the coach are a part of some teaching or coaching organization that will cover at least 1 million dollars each in legal fees. Obviously the kid and her family feel like there were "damages" thus the lawsuit.  Unfortunately, the law is not on their side in this case.  
    • Maryville will recapture the loses from last year against West, Bradley and Farragut. The Bearden game will be the tough one but I look for the wheels to come off that ride somewhere down the road because of all the crap that goes on there. I know to many parents there and some of the things I've been told and some of the post a few of them have made on facebook. They all can't be liars.
