This will be a thread of This That and the Other.

I'll try to add something to it daily during the off season.   So check in and check it out.

Today I'll update the coaching changes known as the carousel that have started to take place over a month ago.  

Spinning 'round in a spell.  O, it's hard to leave this carousel.  Spinnin' 'round and 'round and 'round and 'round. ~ Still They Ride. Journey.

There’s a Allstate game Saturday at Boyd Buchanan with some really good players in it from that area. Just thought I would throw it out there.

Wow, 5-6 TN All Star games? Seems like that Whitwell kid could've waited a few months last year.

It's my understanding that no student is permitted to participate in an all star game unless it's sanctioned by the TSSAA AND the student athlete has completed their high school eligibility in the sport.

Also the rules state that if a student athlete doesn't comply with the requirements they lose athletic eligibility to be determined by the Board of Control.  I guess that could mean not losing any athletic eligibility at all.  ( in other sports).   But the crux of the matter is, at least from what I can gather,  a student athlete doesn't have any athletic eligibility to lose in the sport in which they play an all star game since their athletic eligibility has already been completed.

I think this is an area of expertise for @OLD PIRATE    :lol:

Board of controls is looking at this matter now.  Expect changes for upcoming season.

    • Making 100,000 a year not a bad gig
    • Yep..could possibly have 3 teams ranked in top ten in the same four team district.
    • 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.
