Anyone have information on assistants, or is it a one man coaching team?

Did the TCSB conduct their meeting this week, or is it next week? Would like to have information on the RHS assistant football coaches. Has anyone heard anything official?

Not to be in disagreement, but us old RHS fans are not through with this thread yet. Come on now, we haven't had to chance to voice our opinion on the assistant coaches, or what we think they will do to help the HC. At least give us until after the beginning of 7 on 7's to try to swallow what TCSB may come up with as to the assistants.

Does anyone, anywhere, have any insside information on the assistants?

Hope this happens. Won't be long til the 7 on 7's takes place. the projected players need to be in the weight room, hope that's happeneinng now rather than later.

Haven't heard of any and probably won't until basketball is over since Davis is busy coaching the BB team. Hope to hear something next month for sure.

Totally agree with this. Now the other part falls on the fans and the parents. Don't expect a miracle, Davis should not be expected to turn the program around next year or even two years. Culture building takes time, and the parents and fans must buy into the understanding that the least improvement from last year is a step in the right direction. Parents, back off and let the coach be the coach, that means being realistic about you childs talent level. Fans, back off and stop the critisism everytime you feel the coach isn't doing things your way. It takes a village to raise a child and it will take the RHS community to turn this program around. Support the coach, even if you feel that you could do a better job, afterall, you didn't throw your hat into the ring when the position was open. We all need to come together and give this thing time. In three or four years, if we're still where we are now, then Kattie bar the door, but as for now, PATIENCE AND SUPPORT is what's needed.

Richlands has never been good at Basketball, win a few, lose a few. It's crazy in SWD Richlands beats Graham, Tazewell beats Richlands, then Graham beats Tazewell. Lebanon has had quite a few good basketball teams with some good talent over the years. I think Davis is a better softball and football coach than a Basketball coach, but the talent in SWD when it comes to basketball is not up to par with other areas, never was and probably never will be.

Anyone know if weight lifting has began. One would think with the new HC the first thing would be to get every potential participant into the weight roon as soon as possible. I know the weather is terrible, but does anyone have any word on assistants?

I personally don't see Dennis leaving Graham, but I've been wrong many times in my 70 years if life. I would like to see him back at Richlands because I think his defensive coaching skills played a big part in the good teams that Mance had while he was HC. Offense is fun to watch, but as the saying goes, defense wins championships. Come to Richlands or stay at Graham, eitherr way, I wish him the best in his retirement.

Anyone hearing any news or speculation on the assistant coaches for the Blues? Tic-toc-tic-toc

Not sure and maybe the Union guys can answer, but I think Union has enough assistants and backpacks for two assistants OC & DC coaches. Lol

I think everyone hopes the Blues improve over last years dismal record, but reality is that it will take at least a couple of years to get even close to the top. Talent dictates success in SWD and the talent is in the school, but getting them to come out and play will be the tricky thing. Buddy Ball, and Daddy Ball, not to mention the failed leadership that wrecked the feeder program will be hard to overcome. Students who are good enough to play don't want to just be on the practice team, and that's what has happened the past few years. Good athletes have came out and worked their butts off only to be overlooked. I've personally talked to a few and when I ask why they quit the team or wasn't playing the answer I got was ligit: "Who wants to be a proctice dummy for someone who isn't as talented." That is what's been going on, so the talent said to heck with it and either transferred or just decided not to compete in a loosing situation. There has been good talent left behind the last three years because of who they were, not how good they were, and this has to stop if the Blues are going to be successful, and I think this will happen, but could take a while. Hope HC Davis gets some good assistants who will allow talent to play, not social status, or family connections. Play the most talented, no matter who they are, let them play.

Guys, I'm hearing some good news about assistants and if what I'm hearing is true, HC Davis will have a good group with him, and some new players transfering in. Not able to say a lot seeing it's not official, but if it works out, I think the Blues will be a suprisingly good team next year. Hope everyone has a great New Year and can't wait to see if all the talk that's going around is true. Looking forward to a great year.

Want to wish everyone who participates on this board a very wonderful and blessed Christmas. Hope everyone has a happy New Year and enjoys time with your family and friends. May God Bless us One and All and next year be a brighter and exciting year for each team we support.
