That's utterly ridiculous. No way a public school pays money to get rid of a coach. They just fire them. There's no coaching contract it's year to year.

Parent of a child  that transferred from private school was willing to pay. Didn’t have to though. Admin folded like a lawn chair and catered to the parents.

Who in their right mind would coach high school basketball???  I sure am glad people do though because I love it. I feel bad for them.

This is why you see all those jobs on the TSSAA portal. Most HS coaches will be on a one-year deal unless they are at a big winning program where talent is flowing in.

it is nuts. West Tennessee hasn't seen a lot of changes this season but the two that we have right now are a younger guy at Chester County who resigned after some success and a guy that has been around a long time at South Gibson who also had some success. Makes you wonder why they resigned. The South Gibson Coach is retiring from what I am hearing. But the Chester County Coach I'm not sure.

I don't know these particular situations, but around 98% of coaches who resign are pushed out. The other 2% of coaches who actually resign are either taking another job, family situation, and/or retirement. It will be tough to field good coaches within 5-10 years if something doesn't change, however that does look to be in the works...

    • What you are saying is true about high school athletics being a privilege and not a right, but NO ONE ever knows what will happen if a case goes before a jury.  Again, I have been in a couple of jury rooms and it's always a little crazy.  That is why my prediction is you will see a settlement before the case goes to trial.
    • What rules does everyone not operate by?
    • So you want a have and have not split? Sound like the perfect ramp to elitism. Tell those rural kids that they'll never be able to compete with those urban kids. They're not good enough right? Or we could just do what travel baseball does and have tournaments every weekend and give kids big fake rings for winning a few games. The suburban public schools are typically the ones with more funds. Urban and rural schools have more in common in finances than they do with rural schools. I've taught and coached in all of it. The difference is attitude. But if you're jsut going to say you can't compete because you don't have the money then that's an excuse. Especially in basketball. The balls are the same size, the rims are the same height and size. The ball dribbles the same in some rural gym in mountains as it does in the FedEx forum. Charters come and go like a fart in the wind. They are no real threat to anyone. Magnets could be but rarely do they win either. It just hasn't been seen in Tennessee.  
    • That’s a good line. Wins would be Soddy, Howard, and Ooltewah. Maybe East Ham again or Knox Central. Tyner maybe but being that late in the year it’s hard to say. I don’t think we get by Red Bank this year.    Rhea could be anywhere from 2-8 to 6-4. 
    • I agree with the Farragut and Bradley claim. Those will both be wins. Bearden like you say is depending on when you get them in comparison to when the wheels fall off.  As far as West goes I’m 50-50. They have been able to reload so far so until they show me they haven’t I can’t count them out.
