CROW-EATING TIME!


Recommended Posts

Around this same time 2 years ago, there were a lot of skeptics speaking about LeBron James and his ability to make the jump to the Pros from high school. Now that almost two years have been completed by the phenom, I just want to say to the nay-sayers back then that it is up to each person to decide what is best for them, along with some guidance from significant others such as parents, teachers, coaches, etc. I will always endorse getting your education for your mind. I just remember how many were saying they thought James would fall flat on his face and how he was making a BIG mistake. Also, a lot was said about his maturity and wondered if he would be a selfish player. I think he has been an excellent ROLE-MODEL for high school athletes, because he works hard and puts the team first. When asked about his being the youngest player to have a triple-double, James said that he "could care less about individual accomplishments, I only want the team to win."

 

My question to all...... How do you view TSSAA Basketball in recent years? Has the game seen a rise in dedication or have the athletes taken on other forms of committment (ie. XBOX, TV, and girlfriends)? Also please give the area you are talking about, because different areas produce different results. [ie. Unaka (Upper East TN) kids seem to be dedicated to basketball year-in-and-year-out].

 

TO ALL TENNESSEE HIGH SCHOOL ATHLETES!!!!! THE TEAM MUST COME FIRST IN WHAT YOU DO. THAT IS A CHAMPION'S MINDSET!!!

 

GOD BLESS!!!

...and the player who has had legal trouble and trouble with his teammates was Carmelo Anthony, who had been touted by somany people here as having *SO* much more experience and maturity.

 

A friend of mine who works for the Grizzlies radio network has said, on the air, that he thinks LeBron will be cleary THE best player in the NBA next year.

 

Anyway, to me the point in this is that some people can make the leap, and they should. LeBron, KG, Amare Stoudemire, Dwight Howard, and a few others had no business being on a college campus.

    • The winds of change are blowing in Hartsville.     Will be an interesting follow.    Would go back to the 90s and turn black the clock!
    • Did he promise you a coordinator job or something if he ever got a head coaching job? He resigned? He was at the top of the dugout last night calling plays. I wonder if those 30+ parents would let him give their kids a ride. by the way the board meeting was last night and it was not mentioned. must have been at the work session earlier this week which is not public. must be trying to keep it quiet.  Since you know so much, how much is Robbie Atwood willing to pay Adam Cothron?  Didn't you slander Eden earlier on here? You also didn't know he was a faculty coach again so how much do you really know? Some people outside this county baffle me with their need to slander others.    
    • He resigned smh, and have you ever heard of charged but not convicted. Some people in this county baffle me with their need to slander others. Have you asked any of the 30+ parents that signed a petition to get him reinstated at the board meeting this week how they feel about this? Just let it play out, at the end of the day the only people that will bring TC back are the ones that know what its about at its core.    People hate losing and they aren't used to it at TC. I for 1, and I'm sure others too, understand having a dip in talent and not being able to compete for a state title every year. But in the past, TC teams have outworked more talented teams, they didn't continuously lose the turnover battle, they didn't commit 8+ penalties in several games each season, and I believe several of the folks in town that want Blake out feel as if he is neglecting the history of the program. This is from a source that used to be extremely close to the program (not me lol), Blake gets out of school midday and the players show up and there is no practice plan or itinerary.  I also understand those that are on team Blake, when he has loads of talent, he wins. He does know football and he is a tremendous DC, and if the rumors are true then he will do great things. As for the board member issue, it is what it is, everyone that's true to the county know that and nothing has changed. I agree though that they should strive to make the facilities as good as we can. And as far as potential candidates, I agree there is very few options. West, Vetetoe (yes I know), and couple others that could have some interest. Whatever happens is massive for the program during a pivotal time before the next big wave of stars make their way through.
