Cleveland's Coach

[blackandgold]

We need more info on Mr. Green leaving. Why leave a high paying job at Cleveland where he has enjoyed success, plus his sister plays for Lee University? I know this is at least his second suspension from games because of court side behavior, so maybe he needs to look within for the problem, not without. What does Rhea have to do with this?

I am just an innocent observer, but almost EVERY time I watch Cleveland High's boys team, Coach Green deserves a technical foul. He is almost always, at least one time per game, out of line. He behaves like a child, pulling his shirt tail out, yelling, screaming (last year at Bradley, for instance). From my perspective, it may be the SCHOOL looking for a replacement and he may not have time to "find a better job". With their record, the underclass talent looking slim, and his behavior, he'll be VERY LUCKY to be there next season.

He tried very hard to get a job at UT this past off season. I heard his players have lost their desire to play hard.

Looks like Green had just enough rope to hang himself!! For Cleveland's sake he should go. Everybody knows that Cleveland High is full of talent in basketball and football...but it no longer shows!!! They definitely need a change!

How in the world did Jay Davis get to play in huntsville!!! I still have not heard the real story about why he didn't play the first semester.

[smallie]

tssaa cleared him to play and he would have played without TSSAA clearance cause the fall semester grades are in.

What does his grades have to do with him not playing basketball? If his grades were the issue then how was he eligible to play football last semester but not eligible to play basketball? I thought eligibility was determined for the entire semester.

[smallie]

The TSSAA investigated Jay's eligibility for the fall semester. TSSAA had no findings (ie, he has been eligible the entire fall semester).

[LuckyDay]

It was my understanding from a very reliable source from within Cleveland High School, that at the end of the school year last year, Jay was two classes short to be advanced to the next grade. He then enrolled in summer school (which Cleveland doesn't even have) to take the two classes. These two classes were taught by Leon Brown and there were "very few" students in each of these classes. True or not, sounds suspicious huh?

[smallie]

tssaa found nothing. The class was supposedly taught by a football coach, I don't know which one.

Were getting off-topic here. This is not Coach Greens mess. He is doing a good job. Needs to keep himself in the game though. This will come as he gets older. Then he has a chance to become an outstanding coach.

It sure seems like coach Green's mess. He may not have created it all, but it is his to deal with now.
