Come now Jerry, this is not the proper forum for your laundry to be spilled at this point. Everyone will learn soon enough what you did to Barr, and to Hillwood, and ultimately to yourself. :o

If you are Jerry, why did you do this to Coach Barr? From all I had ever heard, he saved your job several times. If you are Jerry, you are really a real ***. I thought you had more respect. There must be something behind the scene here. I am a parent and will get to the bottom of it. I think you have already got to the bottom of it!! :ph34r:

Lets set the record straight for 'mytwocents'!

 

First, I AM NOT BARR!! There are several facts which need to be addressed. Hopefully this will help you with the FACTS in the matter.

 

1. Two Hunters Lane freshman are going thru spring practice at Hillwood. They were out there for 2 1/2 weeks when discovered. Also, a twenty something male, out of school for several years, is also practicing with the team. Both are MAJOR violations of TSSAA and Metro rules!!

 

2. When it was discovered, Scott Brunette, metro's athletic director and Alan Johnson, Hillwood's executive principal, meet to discuss things and START an investigation. I understand that TSSAA was notified and the TSSAA was going to wait and see what action was taken BEFORE they got involved. Time was not a factor in this. The TSSAA knew about this 2 weeks before Spring Fling ever started. Barr did not have to 'run off to the TSSAA', they already were informed by Scott Brunette.

 

3. Barr's position is technically called "Athletic Business Manager". Every Metro school has one. Also, they have an Athletic Principal who is in charge of the overall athletic program. Many schools let their "Business Manager" run the athletics, mainly because many athletic principals do not have a clue about the athletic programs. Others let the business manager only handle the game operations and such. Barr use to do it all and do it well!!

As for the football player cursing out Link and the other coaches, Barr, as business manager, does not nor did not have the authority to discipline the boy. You talk about not having guts in your other post, any coach in their right mind would have taken care of it then or after the game. You talk about no guts? It is Link's football program and he let it go!! If your 'opinion' that the AD should have done something, that would have been Monte Wilson!! His is technically the AD because he is the Athletic Principal!! Go Figure!!

 

4. Barr is also a TSSAA track referee. He has worked many state track meets throughout the years. He, along with several other track referees from Nashville, were watching games involving two metro teams in the state baseball tournament. Hunters Lane was on one field and McGavock was on the other. Hunters Lane's baseball coach is Ronnie Carter's son Jim. When Barr was given his 'firing letter' by Monte Wilson (over 200 miles from home and school), the other track officials and Ronnie Carter were already standing there.

 

In closing, all I am doing is stating FACTS! Not opinions, just the plain facts!! Correct me if i'm wrong, but none of this would be necessary if Link had not done the things he did this past spring!! Don't overlook the obvious, plain facts here!!

      Northview was very impressive last year. I think their draw cost them last year. They played South Side and Dyersburg and then Heritage. South Gibson, South Side and Dyersburg only two will go from the west. Will be a dogfight for sure. Like I said earlier, if South Gibson don't learn to score they won't make it to state. Will be interesting for sure.

      Worst thing SC could do is get rid of Dyer. I agree with everything said above.

      Jada Hart, Jasmine Bailey and Kaitlyn Patterson the first two being PG's are all good guards and can handle ball pressure and are good players. Raven Wells will be a good post. There were games this summer where any one of the one's I mentioned were in double figures. Gibson County will control TO's much better this year and they will press more and get back to playing faster. AA is down across the board. I have been all over watching ball. Alcoa jumped to AAA and Jackson County moved down. to A. No telling who wins it this year. I agree Union City, Westview and Gibson County will be a dogfight and must see basketball. Poster insuated that Gibson County has a mental block against Westview. Well give me Maddie Gray and we line up last year and they wouldn't have won a game. Let's see how Westview does this year. Their starting five last year had three transfers in it. Rogers from Obion, Trevathon from Greenfield and Gray from South Fulton. Looks like they swung and missed with the girl from Florida this year so let's see how they do playing with kids from Westview. Gibson County has a really good 7th grade class this year.I have done learned you play with what you got and work them hard and develop them and see what happens. Just keep battling and see what happens. I like our team this year. Very athletic. Every year is the same with injuries and can be catistrophic to any. I watched GC all summer long. South Side and GC was very evenly matched and was a classic war.We had some quality wins this summer. Beat Huntingdon, Henry County, Bowling Green, Liitle Rock Central as well as a couple other quality Kentucky Teams. Westview's talent pool may not be what it has been without transfers the next few. And as far as Wilkins riding off into the sunset, where do y'all seem to think he will leave?? Wilkins is a healthy dude and he loves basketball and loves coaching. I wouldn't be suprised if he coaches a few more years. He loves the game and loves every minute of coaching.

      I think Gibson County is a top five team this next season but I do agree they will drop off a lot after this year.  Westview lost a ton and will be down this season and hopes of returning to glass house again is slim.  The run they have had is super impressive!

      My take on GC for this year: Based on what I saw last year and heard this summer, I’m not sure GC could surprise me next year with any outcome. Wilkins is a great coach - they could win the district and region and go to Murfreesboro. They could also come in third in the district and not get out of region. The two returning starters are very talented but Guru is right that they didn’t always play hard last year. The other three starters are good enough in their roles for GC to be successful. There is no depth. Foul trouble could be a problem - Wilkins may avoid it by playing a lot of zone. An injury would be catastrophic. I hope they have a big year and Wilkins rides off into the sunset in Murfreesboro because, without some significant transfers, there are some tough years coming in the next few.
