crazy How many times has Blackman and Riverdale had their zones messed with sending all the apartments (talent) to Rockvale etc.. but big Spurs school could bring in metro residents and get a week of spring practice off and the metro residents can stay lol 

Dude, you need to educate yourself.  No principal approves rezoning.  I am not in the education business but I know that much.

He was a student volunteer coach at UT.. until he landed a job there as an analyst  which he did under Fulmer Kiffin and Dooley, he also was on the coaching staff with Ed Orgeron before coaching Knox Catholic, Ravenwood, and a handful of places before North Jackson. So about 18 years coaching I wouldn't say he is exactly new to the game . The jump from 3a to 5a 6a... may not be a huge deal, but Middle School to High school is a little different story ..

If it was some podunk middle school with 300-400 students,  think your argument would be valid.  But Blackman Middle has nearly 2,000 kids.  I daresay his job is the equivalent of a 1a or 2a high school program.  He is well known to be very football smart so he might be "too mean" but I don't think anyone should dismiss him as "just a middle school coach"

I know he did but the effects are lasting. He set creasy up and the nepotism was evident.

Hey waterboy, do you actually no what nepotism means?  Don't you work for the RuCo Sheriff's Dept.? As I said before, Creasy doesn't need any help.

Yes I know totally what nepotism means and I know when to use the word "know" instead of "no". Leave it Augustus to carry kevin's water.

My reasoning has nothing to do with the 1539 students currently enrolled at BMS. It has everything to do with the level of competition and the experience of coaching against that level of competition. Using the  reasoning that "it has lots of students" is a flawed argument.  Take for example the University of central Florida has 37000 students and is one of the largest universities, that would imply the coach should be as good a coach as Nick Saban, Dabo Swenney, Josh Huepel. right??? He may be the greatest coach in middle school history, but it does not mean he is a good candidate or the right fit  for the High school.

Like I said previously, Creasy doesn't need anyone to carry his water.  Remember that waterboy.

And I guess you are denying that you work for the Rutherford County Sheriff's Department as an SRO stationed at Riverdale?

    • Well if they don't know if a person is or isn't leaving and that might be the only placement they can put a coach then they can't offer a coaching job and expect him to take in on a notion they "hope" it's open for him.  They hire the classroom or job first over the coaching position unless they know they are not giving a teaching position.
    • So very tough and tight matchups with these 3 state champs for each weight going at it and I flipped back and forth on a few before just making my picks.  4-A,  3-D2,  7-AA.  
    • Yes spot on brother. Having been a ref its the reason I went across state lines to call. They want you to look robotic and not use college mechanics. They are stuck behind times. They are more worried about facial hair etc than can you call a game.  There is one association in particular that is straight up nepotism and have lost countless numbers of officials because of which. This association has a handful of really good officials but they never make it because they dont call the game the old school way. " Thats how its always been" is there favorite line but those are words of a dying organization you have to be willing to adapt. 86 fouls in two games for one of the officials that called in at the state tournament is awful.  TSSAA you have a major issue when it comes to officiating. They have no class room training or court sessions bringing in college officials to teach. Anyone shouldn't be allowed to just sign up and get games and stop placing 1st year refs on varsity games but more importantly district games. Coaches should be allowed to talk and ask questions and not be told they have to take a timeout to talk to you. If you want better refs up the pay, stop playing the good ole boy game, and stop getting worked up about using college signals....
    • The Philadelphia bulll has caused the most commotion by playing a fiddle that I’ve ever seen. I haven’t seen this much commotion over a fiddler since the residents of Portville rioted and dern near burnt down Allegheny Springs because Brookshire, Moffit, and Tinker  voted to cancel hee haw and the residents of Morganton road couldn’t watch Roy Clark play the fiddle on the tv. Gideon Morgan rolling in his grave. I just hope the moms from Allegheny keep the kitty in the bag.
