Purple & Gold Standard Posted March 9, 2005 Report Share Posted March 9, 2005 Whoever it is,they need to take their time and make a thorough search... We don't want another fiasco they had in football a few years back with seperate coaches for offense and defense,like two seperate teams...Remember that stupid idea???

rebfan65 Posted March 9, 2005 Report Share Posted March 9, 2005 Whoever said OC didn't have any talent was crazy.There is plenty of talent,it's just undisciplined.I believe with an established coach combined with the four returning starters next year,you will see between a 10-15 game turn around.

NWTennSports Posted March 10, 2005 Report Share Posted March 10, 2005 And now, ladies and gentlemen, introducing the CO-head coaches of the Obion County Central boys' basketball team .... Paul and Kim Decker ! ! ! ! ! Just kidding. I don't really know who, yet. (But, Kim coaching the boys -- she already coaches a boys' traveling team -- would be interesting, don't you think???)

Rounder Posted March 11, 2005 Report Share Posted March 11, 2005 Whoever said OC didn't have any talent was crazy.There is plenty of talent,it's just undisciplined.I believe with an established coach combined with the four returning starters next year,you will see between a 10-15 game turn around. 825611505[/snapback] I am not going to say there isn't ANY talent at OC but I have seen their middle schools, jv, and high school teams the past 3-5 seasons and I didn't see many kids that could start on many other teams in their district. Not that they are bad but not the caliber of Westview, UC, Dyer Co, Crockett Co. etc the past few years.I wish the best to whatever sucker takes this job but the problem is not and has not been coaching. It is funny how everyone runs down the coaching, administration, etc. but talent usually prevails and I don't see a whole lot. And the comment about it being undisciplined, you see what happens when an "established" coach tries to instill discipline. Hey its ok if you want to go on a skiing trip before the district tournament. Yea, go ahead and go hunting and skip practice. We will hold your spot til you get back. OC needs to get their head out of the sand and wake up. It is NOT the coaches at OC who are at fault. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ballhawk Posted March 11, 2005 Report Share Posted March 11, 2005 Great post Rounder, I have been saying that for years. It is time to put the blame somewhere else besides the coaching. The talent is just not there, period! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
