Emory Road Rivalry - Halls @ Powell

[Czar]

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.

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.

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

No, I am just correct when considering the entire body of work.

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.

that's funny.  You'd say one Championship is better evidence of a great coach than the lifetime winning percentage?

I think the evidence of a great coach is their winning percentage in November and December.

Can @HTV chime in please?

What about common matchups? They have played each other multiple times at different programs.

Interesting thought. Let me go to my stats guy @Knoxemdown? Find me the data, son.
