To my knowledge that is correct. I'm friends with Lamar and I always do my best to stay unbiased because I pull for him and West so much. But it's undeniable Scott put West on the map. It took him a few years for sure but he changed that program. Coach Brown has done a great deal to sustain success since he's been there. Also for what it's worth I think a man's sum total is a lot more than one coaching stop that may not have gone spectacular.

This is absolutely fair, and I'm glad  to have a West fan chime in.

You keep good company, Ed. Both are great men and coaches. Best of luck to the Rebels.

I think this is becoming more and more obvious. Clearly Scott did more with those kids at West than anyone since.

It took Scott quite some time to turn West into a winner, but he ultimately did it. I would argue that he was sitting on a diamond mind which certainly helped. West has always had talent, but they underachieved for a number of years prior to his arrival, and even early in his tenure.

Lamar Brown is no slouch though. Morristown West has been absolute trash since he left; prior to this season, Mo West won a total of 9 games after his departure. Brown has also been able to do what Jeff Harig couldn't after Scott's departure.

Lamar is 7-8 in playoffs. Never made it out of 3rd Rd. Scott is 21-13 in Playoffs with 2 state champ appearances, 4 state semi appearances. Say less, Knox.

You obviously have much stronger feelings about this than me.  It's no big deal.  I just think recent numbers may disagree with you.

And Harig has sure shown he can coach a bit too.  My only point was that they're both very good coaches.  DIdn't mean to rile FilmCzar so much.

    • Well nothing new, the Mustangs are really talented again this coming season!  They very well could go undefeated in regular season.  We shall see what happens in postseason.  I think the path to state title game is a little clearer than years past.  I think the Stangs are going to be really good and I think the traditional teams around in 2A are not going to be as strong.  It should be a fun season!
    • I would not put too much stock into the UH over Eagleville. From what I understand they were pretty banged up in that tourney. Catcher was out, they were throwing pretty deep in their bullpen and a few key players were beat up in their infield. Sounds like they are pretty healthy heading into the district tournament. Look at their schedule, they played some really good teams.
