Just proves longevity pays off sometimes.  This year’s schedule has to be the weakest in the history of high school basketball.  Only coach on the list with out a state championship. Only 1 of those 900 wins was at the state tournament.  Can’t win the big games.  Needs to hang it up 

Let me play devil's advocate and ask a question...can McNairy hire a better coach?

Not throwing shade at M.O.M (or anyone else specific), but too many people look at lopsided scores as if the better team was trying to embarrass the losers. Every odd blue moon a talented group of kid

Yeah she does a good job “padding” her own stats. She don’t need a lot of help from coach in blowout games does she?? Had 31 or so and lost to y’all and had 26 in a win against Huntingdon. Can’t belie

When I heard the scoring in the post-game the thing that struck me most was Kylie Alexander was scoreless and Jillian Brigance had only 3. Championship teams are built on a "tripod." Take out one leg

That is a great question, and one that doesn’t get asked often enough by fans wanting a coaching change. I think this applies to any sport. 
Sometimes the answer is yes and you can see an immediate change in program - look at recent changes at Lawrence County and South Gibson. Sometimes a coaching change results in a downgrade (look at Lakeway Christian) or begins a cycle of multiple changes in a short amount of time. That cycle can be really hard on a program.

As for McNairy specifically, whether Coach Lott retires or is asked to retire, their admin better have a good plan in place

Watched South Gibson twice they shoot the three ball really well other than that just average. South Side pressure will be to much for them

My grandmother is 80 years old & can shoot wide open. If I put pressure on her she probably use it on herself lol pressure change a lot. But in all seriousness they definitely can shoot it when they’re on

Yea they for some reason think they are ready for us! I heard from a few ppl that they truly can beat us….. I guess it’s 50/50… until them dogs are let loose lol. I agree as well the young lady that quit definitely hurt them bad…. But we welcomed her to South Side with open arms! 
 

I also had South Gibson & Creek Wood battling it out for at least a top 8 finish in AAA! We definitely can get better as well but I like where we are right now, we can only get better! Our girls are hungry! 

She is a good player. They miss her in a bad way. I know y’all are hungry. Vegas line won’t be 50/50 lol. Will be interesting to say the least. They have to have their A game going for sure. We do as well. That time of year when they all matter.

I can't get exact on coach's stipend in McNairy County, but it's figured from entry level teaching salary on percentage and it's low... very low. Not knocking anyone, but if you're going to make a "homerun hire" like South Gibson, you're going to have to offer more. Only a handful of coaches in any sport that most knowledgeable fans can't critique in some area, but those same fans often forget that to do that one little thing better, someone would first have to do everything else just as well and that's rare. 

  Like you stated, more likely the program takes a step back or begins a run of short term hires who either completely fail or succeed and then leave for a better job. If winning were easy, everyone would.

You and trader love it when people disagree with your opinions.  I don’t have a dog in the McNairy family and happen to agree with him not being able to win the big games. I’m a basketball junkie and have been to games all over.  I witnessed a home substate game where Marshal County annihilated them.  Lost to Camden in region semifinals, a team they’d beaten 3 times.  I witnessed a game in Nashville at DCA I believe, they played someone else, don’t remember who. And they made no adjustments. I wasn’t there but know they got blown out at Dyersburg by Liberty in region championship after beating them twice in a row and then lost at Manassas, a team I saw play that couldn’t shoot a lick, heard McNairy played man. 
Find another coach anywhere at any level who has won that many games and not won more than one state tournament game.  
I have no agree with Bobcats and yes I believe they can hire a better coach

      $750,000 Lawsuit Files Against Warren County School District

      By TryNotToSuck · Posted

      I don't know what's going on in the town of McMinnville, but I've read this and it's disturbing.  I'm a "player" person, and I want what's best for the player. If a player gets cut off the team because she said the "F word" then good grief. I mean, come on guys. I wish there was a way for the player to transfer to a different program and just play ball. There are a lot of athletes that are stuck because they're in crappy situations regarding their team/coach. This is player just happens to be one them.

      Won't happen. College coaches will back the coach every time and it cost this young lady her senior season. Looks like the player may be right on this one. School let her  go after one season. This stuff happens more than you think.

      “No college is going to offer a scholarship to a player that is kicked off of the team.” For language? I’m not seeing that as a dealbreaker.

      Why did the coach get rehired after she was let go as an assistant by the former Warren County coach and the current AD?? Is that accurate?? I am very familiar with situations like this. Suprised lawsuits haven't happend before. If the coach unfairly let the player go, I think she has a shot because it cost her a scholarship. No college is going to offer a scholarship to a player that is kicked off of the team. Not going to happen. There are bad hires like this a bunch and kids are treated unfairly by coaches that can't coach a lick and have super long ropes somehow. Amazing how some of these coaches get hired and keep their job.
