Whos the best coach in 6-AA

[yrutalking]

goddard is a great coach, i just think he had a hard time adjusting to the high school kids again and keeping them ready for play. eller at hixson is a very good coach, but his players don't always seem to play a full game. seq. is always disciplined and that goes to the coach. winning does matter though.

if i was a coach at a school like csas, you can have whatever players you want to come and play for you even if they are out of zone they can still go and play there the school will just have to let them in

This would seem tru but anybody who knows anything about the school knows that traditional the parents and alumni never get caught up in wins and losses in sports. They are far more concerned about academics, so although CSAS is a magnet school and in theory they could have any athlete they want, is really not true up until about three or four years ago there was an interview process where many students did not get accepted into the school, therefor scrapping the idea that they can have any athlete they want, To be honest with you Coach Dragoo has only had superior athletes about five times in about 15 years 1990 state runner up, 1998 sub state appearance, and the last three years

This may be a stupid question, but could someone explain the difference between magnet schools, such as CSAS and Tyner, and private schools, such as Boyd Buchanan, and Chattanooga Christian. How are they different, if they are?

Its turned into a valley competition because recently that's all thats been posting.  I have a ton of respect for all the coaches in that district, but in my opinion coaches in the valley get more out of their players in terms of effort and energy.  Thats not to say they work any harder than the city coaches, its just that it takes that great effort and energy from the valley teams to pull off the occasional upset of one of the city teams.(Bledsoe over E.R. last year)  We all can be in agreement that wins against the Howards, Hixsons, Tyners, etc..., dont happen very often(not at all for most valley teams so far), but you can be assured it's not because the effort wasnt there that was demanded by the coaches.  Sometimes you dont see much of a motivated effort by the city teams, because, simply put, its not usually required. But might it be that lack of energy in early games contributes to those teams not advancing further than the region tournament? Just a thought.  Hopefully that can change, either way, good luck to all 6-AA teams and coaches.

the mid 90's were the heyday for valley schools.......they competed with both tyner and city although both those teams dominated the district finals......since then valley basketball has been terrible again.

Magnet schools are still considered public and offer a public education meaning what is being taught at a magnet school is mandated by the state just like regular public schools CSAS offers many fine arts such as art theatre band orchestra, along with basic classes such as english and math along with a required seminar class once a week and obviously you do not have to be zoned for that school to attend
