I agree. I have no issue with the kids, it’s the coach. Sad situation that won’t end. Why don’t the parents or supporters raise enough stink to force a change?

That's the truth. Kids do what coaches tell them to. You want this mess to stop,get rid of the coach. That will not happen in Wise though. Heck the football place carries his daddy's name. Folks up there would rather be loathed and or embarrassed than care about the reputation of the school or good kids. You would have thought changes would have come when they were no longer allowed anymore to play the team that should have been their biggest rival (Burton) It's really rather sad IMO. Please do not judge these kids by their coach. That would be like judging a class act like Robin Dotson by the redneck fans there (and there's rednecks everywhere,but EVERYBODY hates Central and that's not the case with other schools).

The kids on the Central basketball team all are pretty good kids, I know most of them pretty good and have been watching them play since they were in elementary school, so don't let the actions of a COACH ruin it for the kids!

I seen 6 for the consolation game and 730 for the championship game!

If Central was more consistent, they could be very dangerous this postseason.

Add Bob Pettit to the list. He's the most underrated player in NBA history, but played in the W. Chamberlain era and was overshadowed historically. For his career, he averaged 26.4 ppg, 16.2 rebounds per game, and 3 assists per game, 2 time MVP and 10 time NBA All-First Team.  Those numbers above are crazy when talking about an entire average for a career, not just 1 season.

Obsess much?  This a thread about teams from the East so I'm not sure as to why you would post that, at least on this thread.

The same way they didn't win when they had Caleb Mills and company. That squad should have been a solid contender. It blows my mind how mediocrity for years upon years and nothing changes:(

The loss of Isaiah and Dalton is long gone and the Warrior's team this year has a great leader in Elijah Hayes......if TJ would learn to coach the team.he has this year the Warrior's would be in first place....as someone that has been to the majority of games I feel TJ is trying to lose games to prove to the world the loss of Isaiah is causing the team to have a losing season....untrue....if the boys could coach themselves they would do an awesome job, it is just sad that the Warrior team plays their hearts out but has a coach that does not allow them to play to their potential....

I hope the Bears ARE looking ahead to Friday night.  :)

The ESPN thing is a hoax. Not true. The Ervin thing started last night. Not sure if true or not. 

Union appears to be playing well, beating Eastside is a good win.  You can't afford to have an off night in this district, as teams in the lower half of the standings can snipe you if you do, as evidenced by Ridgeview's win over Central. 

Just because you played college basketball doesn’t mean you can coach basketball at any level. Some people just don’t have what it takes to transfer it over and teach another person. Seen it many of times around this region. Some of the best coaches I have seen never played the game they coach!!

Central 54 Union 48. Pretty well played, clean game. Union couldn’t get shots to fall late and only playing 5 guys was a big factor. 

Central will never be as good as they could be until something is done from the top down!!!!

Agreed. The 7th, 8th and 9th graders are SUPER talented. They don't have a traditional big but that group could be special. In two years, when Rasnick is a senior, Jones and the others will be juniors and sophomores and that team could make a lot of noise.
 
back to RV/WC, apparently TJ was disappointed in his team, benched every starter but one, played him out of position, and when RV got up big, he brought back in the starters but they weren't as enthused and just got routed by a much less talented team. May not be true, just what I heard thru the grapevine.

Unbanning myself for this one...
2019 Post of the Year candidate...

Just another reason to hate Butch Jones.

He said after game he wanted to win 3 more titles haha
Like that guy will be there 4 years lol

Unfortunate situation for this kid. Torn ACL, second year in a row for the Bears starting center! I want to wish Wes the best of luck in whatever he chooses to do and for a quick and speedy recovery!! I hate to see any kid, from any team injured!

7-10 good refs? Heck I dont think I have seen that many good refs in the state in basketball!

Schools cannot request officials (if that were happening changes need to be made for commissioner if they were honoring that).  Schools can blackball officials from working their home games.  Unless a change has taken place in the constitution I dont believe it was written to extend beyond home due to tournaments and officials working multiple associations for instance. Officials can also list any conflicts of interests and etc at the beginning of a season as well.  What I do not like is officials who will turn in games based on schools playing assigned game or travel.  If you cannot list a reason to not officiate a certain school beforehand do not turn them in later, even if you are assigned with another official who may not like working with.  It creates a major pain in the butt for the commissioner, and is disrespectful IMO.  Its also a slap in the face of the commissioner and people working the game if a school wants officials dropped after they have already been assigned, when they didnt blackball them before the season started, or without a prior issue with said official earlier in the season.  Respect is easier lost than gained, and that is a great example why on both sides of the coin.

This all day.  The other one was.  Where is the Thacker kid from JIB?

Yeah, really shocked Fiser wasn't first team running back for sure.

Cvetnich is a senior this year....watched her play the other night against Gate City and she ended with a double double.....played pretty decent!
