Kirk Haston played pro for a few years. That 97 Perry county team was large. Haston was 6'8 and I remember 2 other guys about 6'6. They dominated that tournament.

No team has ever dominated the tournament like they did. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheHill Posted April 4, 2019 Report Share Posted April 4, 2019 I would be very surprised to see Bruce coach again. Like so many "old school" coaches his style just isn't accepted at very many places. I know he wasn't successful at Sparta primarily because he was such a hard nosed coach and his regimented style wasn't popular with the kids. I'm wondering about his son? What grade? Is he a strong D1 prospect? Interested to keep up with him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There was a few reasons he wasn’t successful in Sparta while the coach not just ‘style’ of coaching, but that ‘style’ won at a high % for a long time. His son is very talented player, just finished his sophomore year averaged close to 20 ppg and can really get off the floor at about 6’4-5. Has a chance to be very good.

PEARLBALL Posted April 9, 2019 Report Share Posted April 9, 2019 If his son were willing, he could be a difference maker in district 8AAA. From what I've seen, he would be the best player in 8AAA the day he stepped foot in the gym. He is quite a player and Dad is quite a coach. I will never know what Moore County was thinking, but everybody has their reasons. This would be a coup for Tullahoma, but agree, Slatton isn't going to miss his son playing the next 2 years. It's gonna be really fun for Dad watching the kid play. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
