After 17 years on CoachT I have mellowed a lot and rarely comment much anymore but if this score is correct (100-14) I’m sorry but there is no place for this in high school athletics. Hey Coach what did you teach your players in his game?  Why would you humiliate another team/children like this?  I don’t want to hear any excuses because there are none.  There is no defense for this kind of stuff and no place for it. But hey Coach if you can sleep at night I can.

You do know that the bench players played almost the entire second half right?  That the press ended...

I get that no one wants to see a team destroyed but this IS a contest. The object of the game is to stop the other team and score more points than they do.  Marion County was unable to do either... Why should the Bearettes be penalized for competing at a high level? (Each player from starter #1 to the last kid on the bench). I do agree that the margin was ridiculous BUT what do you do?  
 

This weeks earlier games produced similar results, lots of bench players saw lots of minutes this week.  I’m not bashing the other teams by any means but play the cards you are dealt. Work to get better. This isn’t Upward and we aren’t playing for a juice box after the game.

I’ve coached and been around coaching for a long time. There are several things you can do as a coach that will allow your players to compete and run their offense and them still be able to score points.  No way no how you can tell me that this happened in this game. I guarantee you layups we’re still taken and 3s were still shot. I already know so don’t even go there. I’ll be rooting for the team that puts this coach out of the tournament.

I got you dad, no it’s not upward ball it’s high school girls basketball. No one is taking enemy fire or having to duck because we have incoming, I get that. It’s 14-18 year old girls playing.  Do you get that playa?  I’m sure Marion County will be just fine but I’ve got zero respect for a coach that would allow his players to do that in a game. I’ve been in the same situations and I never allowed that.

It takes a lot of class to come on here & talk about a game you weren’t at & people you don’t know. 
That’s what great classy people do for sure! 

I’ve been around high school athletics for 40 years and coached high school, middle school and AAU so I know what I’m talking about. I’m talking about one individual and it’s not a players it’s a coach.  
 

I guess it makes you classy to totally disrespect the girls from Marion County?  Pat yourself on the back a little more.

If someone had a problem with the way you coached in your 40 years, would you have more respect for them if they picked up the phone & called you, or if they got on the internet & blasted you?
How much respect would you have for that person?

How much class does that show?

Well If  I allowed that to happen to a bunch of children I’d be expecting some criticism and rightfully so. I got my fair share of criticism no doubt and some I deserved. But I never got it for running up a score on kids thats for sure.

    • Lol! I was being a bit facetious. 
    • Way late on this post, but I do believe that I want to at least weight in so to speak lol. I wrestled NAIA competed against some of the best wrestler over all a crossed the divisions and felt great about my college wrestling experience. I think people make the mistake in believe that wrestling some how gets easier as a sport at the smaller college divisions it doesn't the training is mostly the same. I have that on good authority from a coach who was a D1 all-American. it's more the commitment level of the competitors that is different. There is talented wrestlers that can go D1 at any level in the smaller division. sub in Sammy Shires for one he would have done fine on a DI team. He chose a work life ratio that suited him. It's not about talent it's commitment are you going to make training and studying the sport the center of your world cause that's what it takes: NO MATTER HOW TALATENTED BEFORE HAND YOU ARE.  If so then D1 is for you and striving for success at that level is for you like Mr. Palmer said it's what your willing to put in. Now coaches if you have a successful wrestler who fits that bill then by all means D1 is a great option they will see some success no matter how small, but if they are not that committed along with being talented and a killer and you know it then your doing them wrong.  You don't have to tell athletes that you don't think they are D1 tell them to keep their options open to take all their visits to consider all the divisions regardless of their goals. college recruiting visits have you most times wrestle against their current wrestlers coaches and athletes  will find out real quick it's not easy no matter where you go. That way when they make their decision it's a sound one that's based on well rounded experiences.     BobCorker, and oceansize42 I believe what you are thinking is correct but for different reasons. TN wrestler's have the talent... it's a commitment level change. TN wrestlers aren't used to having to put themselves through the level of commitment required and kills them on the D1 level.    WrestlingGod, I agree you should push kids to pursue their dreams, but not at the cost of common sense period... we have to much of that going around this country already. Dreams can turn to poison when these wrestler are not educated on what it truly takes. In TN  a kid who understands wrestling to a high level can be successful with small amounts of hard work. They think their definition of hard work is enough for D1 that is the mistake not the "talent/understanding".  Over-all though we do not celebrate NAIA,D2,D3, or Juco success in this state like other states do. GA/AL celebrates all it's college wrestlers success a crossed the  board no matter the division. Why? because it's hard... I have gone to all the divisions National championships let me tell you to be a all-American at any is impressive especially D2 or NAIA. those guys can scrap and not one of those AA's are an easy match. all of them were state placers or champs multiple times in their high school careers. does that at all sound easy to place at? TN does not give those guys enough credit or shout outs period. it's an over sight because of this D1 or it's less than meaningless   mentality on this site and in this state. GA/AL is better then us on the highest stage because they send guys to D2,NAIA,D3 ect. they come back understanding the sport better then their pervious coaches, and give back and that cycles to athletes readiness to go D1 with clearer understanding of what it takes to be competitive day 1 freshman year.             My post isn't to support one way or the other but to just consider that both sides have merit and that both work when the system in TN. by system I mean coaches are the better educated on preparing athletes for each level they want and should pursue.        
    • If you think McKenzie could've beat Riverside I have a bridge you might like to buy. 
    • Hate to hear Ricky is heading to the old folk's home!
    • By recruiting, I mean members of a coaching staff are talking to, meeting with, giving tours, to students, and their guardians, that are not zoned for their school.    there’s no way that many non Bearden kids just showed up all at once without being recruited. It can’t be a coincidence that all those kids also went through the middle school all star game your boss puts on every year.
