Coach Tucker at Tellico

[bigbearsfan]

Why cant he get his teams to thr State tourny? I do know that he continues to play a weak schedule, and does run up the score on teams.

He is not a terrible coach, but I think it is fair to say that he does not out scheme our out coach anyone.

This is nothing personal. I like Coach Tucker. He has given everything to his hometown. He is a good guy. But Tellico will never make it to the State tourney as long as he is head coach. It hurts to say it, but it is the truth.

 I met him once really good guy. He needs a playmaker. I watched some film on them. Got a lot of solid players. He is missing a playmaker.

Next few years will be even tougher, they move to AA

You cannot play a cupcake schedule and hope to win a meaningful playoff game. He only plays teams he can beat year in and year out. That’s why none of the rest of us that keep up with high school girls basketball, truly believe TP is a threat. I know there are some good athletes in that area because I remember when Tellico Plains came to Jackson County I believe it was 2000 or 2001 and they rimmed out a three-pointer to beat us at the end of the game. Jackson County went on to win the AA state championship 4 years in a row so I know there’s some good players down there.

I agree. Got beat by the only two good games they played all year. They are very talented but have lost their chance at any big success bc they are gonna get blown out now that they are AA

Agreed! They won’t make it out of the first round of the region with those teams

I think so but does it really matter at this point. If they couldn’t compete in A, there is really no chance with the teams in AA with the quality teams they will see night in and night out.

I think they will be a solid program, and a tough out for teams.  However, MCentral will be really good this upcoming season.

Talking to a friend from east tn haven't they lost some really good players the last few years. I think from what I've been told they have decent group. Meigs will be down. Chattanooga region is really weak. However with there cupcake schedule last few years how developed are there upperclassmen.

The new district

McMinn central. I think they will win the district and the region and probably make it to state.

Meigs. They will be down, but not has far has people think. They have some good young players that were good in middle school and they are all playing summer ball.

Tellico they have some talent but not what everyone thinks. But they will sill complete in the district and region.

Kingston. They could be the dark horse in the district, they played a lot of freshman last season  and competed. They should be better this year.

Sweetwater. Down 

Loudon. The same 

Early prediction 

1. McMinn Central

2. Meigs 

3. Kingston

4. Tellico 

5. Sweetwater

6. Loudon

I think 2-4 is a coin toss.
