Coach Kail, thats right. you have to have players to win.

Right. They used to be a very tough team to beat in the 80s-90s.  Whitby's teams pressed all over all the time, shot a bunch of 3s and played hard in general.

But they pushed him out and have put some expectations that aren't realistic. They expect way too much for what they have.

What makes it awful?

School in a city with open enrollment where most of the best players are going to Jackson Southside and Jackson Northside. Plus it is a 3A school and District travel schedule is brutal with rewards of playing East or another Memphis 3A team if you make it to a Sub-State. 2 different coaches the last 2 years. etc...

Give us the inside on that job...on the surface you would think there are athletes enough to win.

They have been winning for a long time. Went to region semifinals this year. went to state tournament a couple years ago. The inside on this job is more than likely the same as anywhere else. You win a lot of games when you have good players. It is a basketball school for sure. Lots of athletes.

Over the past 8 seasons, they're 149-91 62% Average 18.6 wins a season with 2 losing seasons.

They play in a competitive district and region. There are athletes.  I compare them to the North Mississippi schools. A lot of athletes but not a lot of discipline or coaching. I think this year's tournament showed that coaching can go a long way.

    • Yes this process is moving slower than I would have expected
    • also was told coady auston applied, he served as defensive coordinator for greenfield under don pitt several years ago before going to Obion county  
    • TSSAA restrictions for hiring non-faculty coaches have been removed for over a year at this point. In the past a non-faculty person had to be "grandfathered" by being an assistant coach for five years, being fingerprinted, and having a background check run per TSSAA rules... since those were rescinded, the board of directors for the school district are responsible for any/all restrictions on hiring non-faculty personnel. I guess what I'm saying to you is that if you really wanted what you posted, it's already possible as long as your local BOE will allow for it.
    • stop it, rlh. you’re gonna get me all misty eyed and sentimental.    i see seven fairly regularly. ….but slim shady, that’s like spotting bigfoot on main street. you just hope he doesn’t spot you. 
    • Are you trying to say you didn't find Seven and ShadySlim going at it?
