I saw the coach handle a situation with one of his players and it showed a lot of his character. But I will say the student section was out of hand. Which isn’t the coaches job.

Saying he has lost 3 black players over the years and underutilized the 6’8 one that he has. Its a tweet by a person trying to derail the coach and program even if that means inventing problems from thin air- just like "Williamson Co kids get overlooked bc of race!?!" Thats an insane statement for a public school district that has as many or more college athletes yearly than any other county in the state. You can debate why-($,population, facilities, coaching...whatever) but there is definitely not an exposure problem. Btw...All 3 kids shes claiming were "run-off" were football 1st kids that left to focus on that sport. One of those kids is the basketball coach's son's best friend and another one's parents are close friends with the coach and his wife!!! Lastly, the 6"8" kid has been coached by the coach since he started basketball at age 5...the coach is very close to that family as well AND that kid wasnt going to tryout freshman year....until the coach went to his house and encouraged him for 2 hrs to not give upon his dream. Twitter person prob should of done her homework 1st ...but clearly she's attempting to send the 6'8" SENIOR'S last yr up in flames for her own selfish motives by using him, a kid, in a public forum. Everything you read on social media isnt true. Good luck to everyone! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe the players found other things to do with their time. Maybe they are playing elsewhere now. Maybe they weren’t good enough to play at Fairview. Who knows? When I look at your comments it’s apparent that you are a Harpeth player, student, parent, or supporter. Maybe Harpeth has benefited by gaining some of the players that have apparently not been able to cut the mustard at Fairview. I’ve stated my affiliation on here before. What does that have anything to do with? it has nothing to do with this subject. I’m not coming at Fairview or the coach about anything. Stop being so defensive towards me.

81ballfan Posted February 27, 2023 Report Share Posted February 27, 2023 8 hours ago, BackThatPassUp said: But on that note, Giles fans got too personal with the opposing teams players, I heard some of the things that the fans were calling the players on the court. And some of those fans were even had a foot on the court. Way too close! The A.D. needs to control some of that. I was at the game and I am wondering exactly where the fans were sitting that was calling names because I didn’t hear it. But I did see the guy from Harpeth get escorted out his mouth.

Assuming it was a parent affiliated with the team, too many times they will go to social media first and not the coaching staff. Or worse, have people do it for them. Sad, but just the world we live in at this point I assume! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In the 4th Quarter of tonight’s game the big kid made several plays to help the team get the W. Huge threes. Huge free throws. Huge finishes around the rim. It was a huge effort and a huge team W. Congratulations to Coach McCoy & the Jackets on the W. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
