Bluefield_Rules 46 Report Share Posted October 11, 2007 http://www.bdtonline.com/localsports/local_story_283235704.html It's disappointing that Tony Webster didn't get his chance to coach the Beavers. However, I believe Havens is a good hire and is definitely a step-up from Gilliard. Havens has a very good basketball mind and his teams have always played the same type of style that Gaither's teams played. It'll be interesting to see what he can do with some talent to coach now...

Sources 10 Report Share Posted October 11, 2007 Tony is a good guy. He was an assistant coach in football when I played. Hopefully he will get his chance at some point. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FOOTBALLMAN 10 Report Share Posted October 11, 2007 Well it's not what the majority of bluefield fans wanted but we got it so we might as well support the man..maybe Tony will stay as an assistant and help still who knows. but congradulations to Havens, and to Slick everything happens for a reason one day man one day.

BLU 10 Report Share Posted October 11, 2007 Slick is good one. He was assistant fball when I was there also, is he not anymore? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest BEAVERTAIL Report Share Posted October 11, 2007 no complaints from me. As long as the players will play for him im happy. I dont want to see any players not play or transfer. DEFINITELY A STEP UP FROM GILLIARD. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
the_truth 10 Report Share Posted October 11, 2007 I heard that Willie Ellison is hoping to stay on as an assistant. I dont know if he is a teacher or not, but I figure he would be an asset to the program if he can stay. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest BEAVERTAIL Report Share Posted October 11, 2007 If Havens does what he says in the paper, which is pushing the tempo and playing pressure defense, i will have no complaints. Bluefield fans have been waiting for a coach to do that again for four years now... also, with the addition of Willie Ellison it adds even more to the coaching staff. Willie knows how to make the boys play hard. Plus, he has won a state championship before. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FOOTBALLMAN 10 Report Share Posted October 11, 2007 yeah slick is still an assistant fball...well i had heard willie wasn't going to but it would be nice and would also help havens. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bluefieldRocks 14 Report Share Posted October 11, 2007 Im curious to see how the Basketball team will react to Gilliard during the Bluefield/Princeton match ups. (remember, gilliard still teaches at BHS as a drivers ed instructor) IMHO, he's just asking to get ragged on! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hokie07 11 Report Share Posted October 11, 2007 I think Havens will do a fine job at Bluefield, I too, just think that it is ashame that Webster isn't getting a shot. Havens said in the paper that he likes to run the the fast paced offense, and pressure defense so I think Bluefield is in good hands. If Ellison stays then that would also be a huge asset to the team also. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
