Best High School Coach In East Tennessee?

[thorough97]

Well I'm put my 2 cents worth in for the top coaches in the SE portion of the state and in no particular order; Robert High - Brainerd, Austin Clark - Baylor; Dan Wadley - Temple, and Kent Smith - Bradley Central. Common attributes of each coaches' teams are well-disciplined, hard-nosed defense, and fundamentally sound play. These are teams that coaches dread to play.

Donald Ensor, Unaka.. Enough said

Please ppl....the best coach in East Tennessee is in a small county called SCOTT. yep thats right Bill Hall. thumb

For 1A Im gonna have to give the best coach to C.A.K.'s Legendary coach Johnny Darden he has improved C.A.K's basketball to one of the top 10 in 1A a big turnaround from what i heard about there old coach but yep Coach Johnny Darden is one of the best ever in my opinion.

It sure is funny that no one has mentioned Bill Duncan from Greeneville. Someone earlier stated that they had the best defense in high school basketball. He always seems to get the best out of his athletes, especially since Greeneville is a 2A school playing a 3A schedule.

I know of a coach that doesn't always have a winning record, but he is a good role model for his kids and he motivates them. John Dyer of Sullivan East.

Coach Duncan has had a winning program ever since he's been coacing here at Greeneville. I know that's also true for other coaches as well. With Greeneville as little as it is compared to the other schools that they play Coach Billy D is doing an outstanding job.

Perry Hull???  LOL, thats best joke I've ever heard!!!  His team is nothing, in my oppinion.  And if hes such a great motivator, then theyd beat some quality teams.  And dont say Walker Valley, because again, in my oppinion, they are just a rug above Sequoyah.

I dont see how you could go wrong by saying Coach Smith from Bradley Central. After taking a team full of Juniors and Sophomores to the State Finals a few years ago and going back last year again for the 4th time in 5 years. He lost 8 seniors last year and in that group of Seniors also went 90% of the scoring and ALL the heart, but Bradley is going to be right back again. They have only lost 1 game so far and is currently ranked #2 in the state. This was suppose to be a rebuilding year and Coach Smith's toughest year yet, but WOW what a rebuilding year so far! Coach Smith has got to be the best coach in East Tennesee and probably the top 2 coaches along with Coach Tipps from Memphis as the best two in the state.

George Pitts coaches at <a href='http://www.coacht.com/inside/team.cfm?SchoolID=37&SportID=3' target='_blank'>Brentwood Academy</a>, which, unless it has been relocated (the tsunami was in the Indian Ocean, right?) is in Williamson County, TN--a county that is as much Middle TN as is possible.  Now, one will not argue the ability of Mr. Pitts with his having won state championships at both the public (Science Hill) & private (BA) levels, but lets at least get our geography correct. 

P.S. - I don't know who the best coach in East TN is, but most definately the award for the greatest motivator by way of his shoes is Perry Hull of Sequoyah.  Air Force Ones?  No one can contain such style and grace.  Also, Bob Williams of Walker Valley, with his suddenly tightening shirts (festive holiday weight gain?), should recieve some sort of fashion award.

Smith for Bradley Central

Two great coaches who know how to win

Bill Hall of Scott High School is the best coach around, on and off the court. He is vice-principal and a teacher. He always has a smile for the students, and he encourages the best out of his students and players. More then just a great coach he is an awesome person and let's face it.......it takes both to be a great coach. What good is a coach if his players hate him and don't like him as a person!!!!
