Bluefield_Rules 46 Report Share Posted August 10, 2007 [ QUOTE ] What now happens if the next coach doesn't win the championship in the next 3 years? Do you guys run him off also? [/ QUOTE ] First, no one ran Gilliard off. He has been clamoring for the Princeton job for years. He tried to get the last time it came open after only one year at Bluefield. Second, the biggest problem I have/had with Gilliard is that he didn't play to his teams strengths. He made absolutely no in-game adjustments and always allowed the opposing team to determine the style of play. If the new coach allows his team to play to its strength as well as attempts to coach and make adjustments during the game then I'll be okay with no state titles.

bluefieldRocks 14 Report Share Posted August 10, 2007 If gaither gets the job, you wont have to worry about bluefield "Running him off" Gaither is one of the best in WV. and unlike Gilliard, he makes the changes that will work out best for the teams stregnths Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oldskool 10 Report Share Posted August 10, 2007 So you mean to tell me that the year he had Patterson, King, and Crenshaw that he did the right thing in the championship game by having King and Pattrson running a high pick and pop. (Because patterson definately didn't roll to the basket) and Crenshaw on the wing. No rebounding against a team that may have had a 6'3 player. In that game it would appear to me that the strength would have been going inside to either one of those guys and maybe you all would have another championship.

Sources 10 Report Share Posted August 10, 2007 No one said or implied that Gaither was a perfect coach, he has made mistakes and lost games like anyone else but he is ten times the coach that Gillard could ever hope to be. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest BEAVERTAIL Report Share Posted August 11, 2007 and thats your opinion of the game. I know for a fact that Danny Gaither is a teacher and student of the game. He was more prepared for any opponent that an other high school coach. He knows how to let the boys play. And remember, he took a lot of lesser talented teams far into the states...

Seriously, the biggest problem those anti-Gilliard people had with him was the fact he made no adjustments during games whatsoever; he was a poor game coach. Many times his teams looked poorly prepared and confused on the court when the opponent did anything different on the court. Bluefield won the majority of their games during his tenture on pure talent and athletic ability alone. His Bluefield teams were always clueless in how to attack zone defenses and that's unexcuseable when the vast majority of teams in the state of WV employ a zone defense as their #1 defensive set. And no one has ever questioned the type of person of Gilliard is. I've never heard a bad word spoken about the man himself. However, it is possible to be a good man and a good coach at the same time.
