Welcome to WBHS Coach Robert Reeves

I am excited for Coach Reeves to begin his head coaching tenure at WBHS.  He was an assistant here in the late 90s and early 2000s when I arrived and WB was a constant playoff team.  He worked under Steve Fickert, Earl Macmahan, John Reid, Ronnie Phelps, and Scott Meadows during this time.  Even with all the turnover then, he remained loyal and stayed on staff even after some unfortunate events.  He eventually went to Ga and worked with John Reid again before having to move back to East Tennessee for family reasons.  He took over a struggling Karns program and lasted 4 years there before being let go.  He then went and worked under Coach Hammontree for several years at HHS and had success when they were in 5A.  He was also an assistant principal and got tired of all that and wanted back in the classroom so we got him back over here.  He is a phenomenal teacher and we were excited to have him at WBHS back in the classroom. 

As far as the last two weeks were concerned he was not a lock during the process as there were some impressive folks who we interviewed who got our attention for sure.  However, this time we chose to stay with someone who understands this place and the challenges it presents.  He is a guy with high energy and passion.  He will do everything he can to build WB back to where it was when he was here 15-20 years ago.....From the youth levels all the way up.  And, like I said in the introduction yesterday "if you can't root for Coach Reeves, then who can you root for?" 

 

Finally....the WORD OF THE DAY is MYSTERIES

I don't want folks sending me screenshots of Coacht making fun of MR.REEVES.

 

hahahha.....I had to participate

    • Understand the young thing.  I was one of those.  Barely 17 when I graduated from high school and started college.  But redshirting for athletic purposes isn't doing them any favors, in my opinion.  Life isn't always going to be fair.

    • The Girls Basketball team I am a part of played for a gold ball this season. One of the biggest differences in the sports is that there is no field prep/maintenance in basketball.   Our baseball is successful and play 30 games in the regular season as well. All of the teams dedicate A LOT of time in preparing for their next opponent. 
    • Im pretty excited about the new rules that NFHS voted to adopt. Does anyone know if this will take place in Tennessee starting this year? I think I heard/read somewhere that the TSSAA bi-laws say they have to mirror what the NFHS does, and when the NFHS offered the current weight classes as options, TSSAA didn’t adopt them until NFHS made them official. Did NFHS make these changes official starting next season or will it be similar to the weight classes where TSSAA doesn’t change what they are doing until it is  an officially official part of the NFHS rule book? It’ll be interesting to see if it is rolled out for the new TSSAA Middle School season and I saw a post where the youth wrestling in TN was going to vote on adopting it as well.  I’ll pray for all the youth coaches that will have to shoulder the confusion from all those crazy #### parents who already think they know the rules more than everyone else  . Imagine the first time their kid is taken down and a 3 goes up on the scoreboard or their kid gets pinned with only one point of contact in the cylinder. Their heads might explode. i kid, I kid. Sort of. I’m surprised ride time was brought down with all the other changes. I know some argue that it promotes stalling on top, but its been an official scoring method in college forever, so I figure it must be doing something right. Do any of you think that’ll ever be implemented?
