Best Coaches

[Garrett50]

Around the southeast someone who pops into your head would have to be Joe Wingate from Ooltewah, or Steve Garland from Soddy.

I played for coach Scott Hunt. He is a great coach who really does a lot for his players. He goes the extra mile to help promote players and develop them. He was a great motivator. Sometimes he could make you so angry, but then realize what he is trying to do. He demanded the players take care of details like working on the field, looking the right way in how we dressed, and what we did in the classroom. He made Lebanon very competitive when he was there. He is just an assistant now at Gallatin High, but he will always be a great coach to me. He is also a great man that I will always respect. I know he got a rough deal in Lebanon and in Coookeville. Any word on how Coach Hunt is doing?

He was spotted on the field at CU during a bench clearing incident and this may only be a rumor, but he might have been arrested. Coach Woody Hunt was trying to get him off the field. CSI took a picture from a Mars orbiter that identified the reflection from his head. He was in transit to San Quentin early this morning.

Charlie Baxter- Back at the helm of Unicoi County.  4 state titles in his first tour.  Won one title as head softball coach at UC.

I don't see how Baxter can be overlooked as being one of the absolute best in Tennesse history.

Frank Rodgers - South Greene. He is the man.

Where did you get that Joe Bridges has 600 wins? That must be counting freshmen, JV, summer games, and intersquad scrimmages.

Spear must be jealous or something. Well I guess most females don't follow this sport as much .

I've seen coach Bridges in action for years, even when he was at Adamsville, and there is one thing for sure. When his team is winning he is Mr. positive, but when his team is losing he turns into the whiner, that is not what I call coaching. Since this thread is suppose to adress the best coaches, I think you can move your boy to the biggest whiner thread. It suits him a whole lot better.

Maybe you or your child must have tried to play for him and did not have any athletic ability that's why you are so against him . His record speaks for itself or maybe he has proved something you haven't

Coach Mike Ritz is defenatly the best coach from around here, has much knowledge on the game and also a very important factor he loves the game. Mike Ritz my #1 vote

[Falconbaseballbacker]

Anthony Richardson at Sullivan South and Krantz at Sullivan Central are two of the best young coaches in our area, IMO.
