Have heard things are rough at Riverdale and Coach looking hard to leave. With the new opening at Oakland does she go there or which way does Oaklmad look???

This district has tons of change.  I am not a middle TN person so what is the potential for transfers in that district?

From The Messenger Facebook page. 

SPORTS NEWS — Obion County Central High School has its two basketball coaches. RALPH TURNER  has been hired as the new BOYS’ coach, while CHAD LEVISTER has been tabbed as the GIRLS’ coach. Athletic director Craig Rogers confirmed the two hires to The Messenger this afternoon. Turner comes back to West Tennessee after serving as the men’s head coach at Colorado State-Pueblo since 2011. He was previously the boys’ head coach at Ripley, the men’s head coach at Union University in Jackson and an assistant men’s coach at Lipscomb University in Nashville. Levister comes to Troy from Greenfield, where he most recently served as the boys’ high school and middle school head coach and an assistant coach for the girls’ prep team. As a girls’ basketball assistant coach at Greenfield and Westview, Levister has been a part of five state tournament teams. The Messenger will have full details in Monday’s edition.

Parent (s) couldn't run it if the coach does not allow it.

Most of the time I would agree with you, but you have to remember that they have great athletes there, but seem to have even bigger attitudes. And its not just the kids, their parents are just as bad from what I have heard.

From what I heard, the parents complain even if they win because their kid didn't get enough shots. That cannot be fun to coach.

I really think that parents would rather their kid start and play on a team that doesn't win a game in the entire season than to have their kid play a role and go undefeated. Sad.

I'm sure that would not be fun to coach but what job is fun everyday? Got to take the good with the bad because you can not please everybody. I still believe a coach should be in control of the program. No matter who complains..quits..etc...if the coach is up front about what will be allowed and sticks with their guns even if it means having to sit a good player out a game or two then so be it. Always another side to the story though...wonder if any players are trying to get out and hard as the poster says the coach is??? Interesting...

Any coach that is familiar with Rutherford County girls basketball, and in this case, Riverdale, knows what they're getting themselves into. It is one of the most competitive areas of the country when it comes to girls basketball. If rumors are true, I'm assuming she thought she'd win a state championship last year, and be on her way.

Sad but true. A lot of parents are indeed that way.

    • Shopping? His family is loaded and he's 6'6 I'm pretty sure he could start anywhere in upper East TN,So no need to shop. Word is Witten got caught trying to work him out on campus and some 7 on 7 while playing athletics for Sullivan East. Word got around pretty quick and Someone turned them into TSSAA.
    • Quick update on Jacob -  Jacob celebrated his 16th birthday at Vanderbilt on Tuesday and has been in decent spirits.  His sense of humor has begun to show as he was visited by many friends.  He is swallowing a lot better now and has eaten some of his favorites (Chik-Fil-A and Five Guys).   He is getting prepared to head to Atlanta to the Shepherd Center first thing tomorrow morning.  His family has been waiting on insurance approval. In case you dont know the Shepherd Center it a world class facility and supposedly one of the best in the country for spinal injury rehab.  Praying for perfect results there. Considering the circumstances, Jacob is in decent spirits.  He has some reflexive movement in his legs which I think is probably a very positive sign.  Don't read too much into that just yet as there is no telling what the real prognosis is... just hopeful that is good thing.  I am really just happy that it seems like he has a punchers chance of getting something back.  He is a strong young man and very determined so I think he will fight as hard as he can in physical therapy while down in Atlanta. More than one of you has asked me about an address to send donations.  I know GoFundMe isn't for everyone.  If you want to go that route, you can make a check to "Blackman Wrestling Club" and we will pass anything received directly to the Kinderdines.   Jacob Kinderdine c/o Blackman Wrestling 4836 Trevino Court Murfreesboro, TN  37128 Also, want to thank everyone who has donated so far.  Jacobs dad will take a month off work and stay in Atlanta with him.  They need to learn how to take care of him and do home therapy work..... and surely Jacob will be glad his dad can be there.  All that could not happen without you all.  Depending on what happens, they will probably end up doing some home remodeling in order to accommodate Jacob at their home.  Thanks again. Here's a pic I lifted from Facebook of Jacob on Oxy talking to his Uncle.  LOL
