cmslinebacker889 Posted December 10, 2003 Author Report Share Posted December 10, 2003 Oh really, is he good? I just asked because i havent really seen but 5 or 6. I think Coach Smith From Bradley is a great coach though. He led Bradley past Cleveland 4 times last year when Cleveland had a better team..It was all coaching that won those games.

XtremeLoco Posted December 10, 2003 Report Share Posted December 10, 2003 He has coached at Rockwood for years...about 3 years ago Rockwood had one of their worst seasons. This past year, they were only 5 points away from State. To make a turn around in such a short person of time makes a great coach. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

notjustafan Posted December 10, 2003 Report Share Posted December 10, 2003 Coach Smith from Cloudland High School has to be on this list. He took a team that hadnt even won a Conference Title since like 20 years to a Co-Conference his first year and a 24-7 record. Also winning his self coach of the year for 2001-2002. In 2002-2003 the Landers went on to win the district tourny! Smith has taken Cloudland from a low conference ranking to favored in conference and top east tn ranking. He has really turned the basketball program around in Roan Mtn. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
