Ripley High School job is now open with Lonnie Starks taking over both programs at Liberty Tech in Jackson. 

That's a GREAT hire for Liberty. The boys basketball pantheon of coaches in Jackson now, is ARGUABLY the state's best.

1. USJ- Lots of resources and being a private school you can have talent move to the school if you get the right coach. Lots of tough competition though. 2. Milan- Lots of good athletes to pick f

Back to the topic... Will North Side ever hire a basketball coach? who goes to Bolivar? who goes to Ripley? What happens to the coach at Liberty?

This is our biggest problem at CCHS. We make too many excuses. There is no magic line that separates the good athletes in football. You said it yourself We get good basketball players. The problem is

The North Side hire was about what I expected. Could’ve had a better hire, but it seems like they settled here. Dancy was much in play for this job at the beginning. Aaron Woods is a good coach, but the way JMCSS brought in Shutes and Rudesill to JCM, felt like they could’ve made another splash hire, just at North Side. Oh well, oh well, more average years on North Highland.

Sort of feels like JCM is the only school that they really care about. Dancy would have been a great hire with plenty of credibility to rejuvenate the program...maybe they didn't want "competition" for the athletes in the area.

See I disagree. I don’t think Dancy is a very good coach in my opinion. Let’s call a duck a duck here. He went to the state tournament at Haywood with athletes. He went to Milan where he had some good athletes and had the potential to win games and he didn’t. Instead he blew up on the kids, would call 4 timeouts in the first quarter and go nuts. He didn’t believe in freshman games or a big jv schedule. How do you get better in that atmosphere? You don’t!

I have heard the same thing and have heard players don’t respect him. Since we are calling ducks ducks, do you think the USJ parents would reinstate the girls coach if he told them tommorow he wanted to come back because he made a mistake?? He has had some success with tons of talent but didn’t win a championship.

Some would, but some wouldn't. There were some rumblings from some parents that wanted him out anyway. I can't comment on Dancy's coaching ability, but I can on Coach Shutes...he's not the absolute best that I've seen, but they'll be hard pressed to find a better one to replace him, the man was (is) a good coach.

      $750,000 Lawsuit Files Against Warren County School District

      Basically what you're saying is schools can basically bully students around and get away with it because they are protected. I agree to a certain extent but when schools decisions to keep knuckleheads on staff starts costing kids careers and a college education there is a problem. Our school system last week had a teacher supposedly push a kid and the parents went to the law and the teacher is suspended. So I wouldn't say that they can just do what they want without liability. This case don't pass the smell test because the coach had already been fired before and she got fired after a year on the job. Sounds like the student was right in this case on the outside looking in because the coach gets fired after one year. How many coaches get fired after one year?? Not many.

      Problem with DB football goes beyond coaching. Like Waco said. Thr band is the main focus of their community and school. They have the resources to be a championship level team. Guarantee Ballard or Witten could have them nationally relevant at some point but everyone down to peewee would have to buy in and at DB we all know that would never happen.

      I know the RB from OR he’s fast and has good hands. Is good on special teams also. Didn’t want to play defense over to the Ridge.
