I find it really pathetic that there are basketball coaches and athletic directors out there that apparently feel it is not important to report your game scores in a timely manner to the various services around the state. Playoffs have started and I'm trying to keep my brackets totally up-to-date Yet there are scores that are still not been reported from Friday's games to the TSSAA, Coach T, and other sources. Due to their ultra early deadlines, you can't count on Gannett owned newspapers in towns like Memphis, Jackson, Nashville and other towns to have the scores either.  It is pretty pathetic in this age of instantaneous information that reporting scores in a timely manner is still an issue.

add Knoxville to your list. They wanted scores by 6:00 which is tough when the games start at either 7:30 or 8:00.

All do respect here, its not a in a coach's job description to report scores. Also, pathetic is a little loose of a term but I'll respect those are your words.  With that being said, I've seen some lack luster reporting by "various services" so I don't see a need for coaches and athletic directors to comply here.  The game gets played, coached, and administrated.  Not sure what else there is to do?  Helping someone get a twitter hit is not on a school admin or coaches list.

I see both sides of this one. If I'm a media guy there is no way I can cover all the games. It just isn't possible. I could work all my contacts and do my best and still miss scores. 

On the other side of that, if I'm a coach I think I would have someone designated as the PR guys for after games. Get the word out on my team and individuals who had good games so they can get some PR. I get it is not about getting guys PR but it is nice for a kid to see his / her name in the box score or as a top performer. 

I'm not for everybody getting a trophy but I am for recognizing kids and if I were a coach I would get my scores to everybody that I could along with top performers. 

Media guys gotta be proactive to get the scores too.

The scores I was looking for were not even reported to the TSSAA web site almost 24 hours after the games were completed. That has to be reported by a school official. I checked every paper, website, various FB pages and an extensive list of Twitter accounts. Each school that hosts a game should assign a coach, AD, administrator,or someone to be responsible for reporting scores at the conclusion of a game.  

 

 Most games are reported in a timely manner. It just seems there are a select few schools that like to drag their feet. Just my opinion.

      Winfree's senior year was the season she needed to secure more college interest. That opportunity was taken away from her. A lot of false assumptions can be made about what happened and what the options are. Unfortunately, the former coach and administration did not allow Winfree to have due process. A lawsuit was filed for a reason, and it will run its course by people who conduct discovery and take depositions. Unless the parties settle out of court, a lot of the pertinent issues will come to the public surface. I wrote about many of the issues here: https://bdnewsletter.news/2023/11/17/grounds-for-investigation-and-suspension/ I interviewed Winfree after she was dismissed from the team and wrote about it here: https://bdnewsletter.news/2023/12/01/a-new-interview-with-sable-winfree/ Winfree had been on teams in Warren County since the fourth grade and never been dismissed from a team. The real questions are why was Winfree dismissed from the team, and why the administration backed a coach whom they did not rehire.

      What is the hold up here? I have not heard anything in weeks. Are they waiting for the right person or is something else going on?

      Per usual, we'll be hard to beat in the regular season, I'm sure. It's the post season that I'm more worried about, specifically the coaches. Maybe they'll be able to make some adjustments that will keep the momentum in our favor. How's Grays recovery coming along?

      Something don’t add up here a college coach is not going to turn away a good player they need just because they didn’t get along with their high school coach

      RR, you might remember. Didn’t someone hide the kicking shoe that game? It seems I remember we had missed a kick the week before, and we needed all the points we could get. We thought we had a better chance going for two, so $?&@$ hid the shoe after the first miss that game. No one on our sideline looked for it very hard.
