Mt Juliet at Gallatin

The revolving coach situation at MJ goes back a long way. Van Atta himself played for 5 coaches during his four years on the MJ varsity back in the middle 70's. The girls have had just three coaches in the past 25-plus years -- Larry Joe Inman, Tommy Martin and Chris Fryer. Van Atta and his wife are from Mt. Juliet. Look for him to stay.

Mailman--your an idiot--Coach Deering was run off, and i mean run off. He got a raw deal and wasnt treated fairly.  Cutlip left the school.  He's from that area of the state and wanted to go back home to coach.  So no, MJ has run off one coach......get facts straight.  As for the guy who posted from Science Hill, Cutlip worked out great for us.  I was fortunate enough to play for him my senior year and loved the way he conducted things.  Rules, appearance, work ethic, everything.  Thouroughly enjoyed his system and the way he conducted the game.  After a 5-16 year with Deering, which really had nothing to do with his coaching as much as a lack of experience(the year he came in we had 1 guy coming back who had playing time and lost 8 seniors), Cutlip got us to a 16-16 record with a win in the district tourney over #2 seed Lavergne, and a district runner-up.  Cutlip did a great job and i hope he makes his way to the boro here soon

MJbear12, sometimes you have to weather a storm to appreciate what you already had. All is well here. Things have a way of coming back around to you. How you treat people that cannot help you advance shows your true character. One of those people responsible for it all has already gotten it back to them by being demoted. Another got passed over at the same time. It was not an accident. True character shines like a beacon. Maybe next time.......Maybe. Glad to see you supporting the guys. Hope all is well and remember ......Clean up, clean up everybody everywhere.

good to hear bigchief---not only cleaning up but working at the car wash

As for mailman, your right, not a lot of history behind mj boys basketball and your right, the girls have proven thier dominance and should be the talk of the school, city, and even county for that matter. You just made a comment that was not correct and i caught ya on it. I've been around the mj program and never heard of any fans not being pleased with him......so i would like to know where this comment comes from
