Ryan4VT Posted February 18, 2020 Report Posted February 18, 2020 Announced tonight he’s stepping down as coach of Central after the post season. wow. Quote
BigWinners Posted February 18, 2020 Report Posted February 18, 2020 Not surprised. Heard rumblings about him being done after his son graduated but apparently it's gonna happen. Quote
#BBN Posted February 18, 2020 Report Posted February 18, 2020 I heard on the radio broadcast, that since he was in an administration roll, he would be stepping down!! I figured after Isiaha graduated he would hang it up!! He still has two daughters, one on varsity now, and one on the 8th grade or JV team. Kind of surprised me he didnt want to try and coach his daughters, but I believe Robin Dotson has that position locked down for as long as he wants it!!! Quote
Burrall’s Pearls Posted February 18, 2020 Report Posted February 18, 2020 Never heard of a coach stepping down like this during a tournament run. Strange to say the least. Worst kept secret in Wise County. Wild career that involves various incidents that overshadowed a pretty mediocre coaching career. God bless whoever gets that job. They are 5-6 years away from competing for anything and next season they could finish dead last. BigWinners, gc1, RichRich and 2 others 5 Quote
RichRich Posted February 18, 2020 Report Posted February 18, 2020 Everyone knew he was done. I even posted about it in an earlier thread. It's a shame with the talent this yrs team has he didn't let someone step in earlier. He's not the most respected person in the area. By parents or kids. I'm sure in the future he will have the gym, a section of bleachers or a parking area named after himself Unchained 1 Quote
Unchained Posted February 19, 2020 Report Posted February 19, 2020 I'd love to say that for the kids at CHS I hope this means a change,but now that TJ is in administration he'll handpick his successor:( Does Stevie Niece have his teaching creds? If so it'll probably be his. Quote

They are years from competing, Central fans better enjoy this run. Quote
#BBN Posted February 19, 2020 Report Posted February 19, 2020 I doubt Stevie Niece would take the job, I think I he will be gone when McAmis is gone! I had heard last year that Stevie was not even coaching this year, but the Seniors of the team talked him to finish out with them! I could be wrong, but like stated above, I would hate to be taking over that program right now! Bball_Fan and Unchained 2 Quote
Oopsie Posted February 20, 2020 Report Posted February 20, 2020 It’s good that he is gone, he hung a black cloud over the central program by his comments and his actions! Heaping praise on his son while never mentioning the quality players around him. Sad that the apple didn’t fall far from the tree, son is a good player with the same all about me bad attitude ! The dislike for them in the area was evident at GC last night, every fan base there cheered for Union ! McAim created his own monster, sad ! Bball_Fan, RichRich, Unchained and 1 other 4 Quote
stantheman Posted February 20, 2020 Report Posted February 20, 2020 McAmis Jr. is not even the best player on that team, he is not even all district in my opinion but he will beat out Elijah will not get his due because Jr is the coach's son Unchained and Bball_Fan 2 Quote

BigWinners Posted February 20, 2020 Report Posted February 20, 2020 I. McAmis isn't All-M7? LOL get real. Say what you want about TJ, but the younger is a good basketball player. Quote

Say what you want about TJ, but the younger is a good basketball player. To say McAmis is not All-District is far fetched to me. He is a pretty good basketball player! I have to agree that Hayes is the better all around player on the team, due to his ability to drive and create a lot on his own, his defense, and his rebounding ability is something in my opinion that makes him better all around. Shooting is one of McAmis' strong points, and if he gets hot, watch out he can bury a team very quick. If it is an off night for him, he still puts up decent numbers, but forces some shots. I believe a lot of people base their opinion of Isaiah, based on their take of TJ and dislike for the Warriors. Yes, Isaiah does get frustrated and sometimes it comes out and gets him in trouble, but what teenager doesn't get frustrated and do something out of character at some point. If you leave out peoples dislike for the Warriors and TJ, and look strictly out how the kid plays basketball, everyone knows he is a good basketball player and loves to compete.

Say what you want about TJ, but the younger is a good basketball player. I've watched Isaiah play ball ever since he was little and he's always been a good basketball player. There are times that I've seen him play this year and hes been what u call a ball hog. I've always said if he would play team basketball and run the offense and get others involved in the post that it would open up the perimeter for the outside game that he has. and it would make him a more well rounded player like Hayes. Hayes can score when he wants but when he's on a fast break he's gonna get to the open man for the best shot. But for the talent and height that Central has this year, they don't have a inside post game what so ever. they have 3 kids over '6'4 (Mullins, Collie, Bishop) that have post moves but are not used at all. I just think if Central would get back to playing Fundamental Team basketball like they did back in the summer they could make a run. But i'm afraid some egos are gonna get in the way of how far this Central team can go and sadly they both have the same last name. Unchained 1 Quote

I'm by no means gonna cut TJ or Wise any slack at all but to deny IM is a good basketball player and one of the 7-8 best in the M7 is silly. Dean is far and away M7 Player of the Year, but I would be surprised if Wise doesn't have two first team All-M7 players. 1inStripes 1 Quote
IRISH-FAN18 Posted February 21, 2020 Report Posted February 21, 2020 Bradley Dean is M7 player of the year. Only way he doesn't get it would have to be some under the table political nonsense. Quote

TheDuke Posted February 21, 2020 Report Posted February 21, 2020 McAmis carried Wise in that Union game, Bunch for Union took Hayes out of the game, he only had 12 pts and wanted no part of driving against Bunch. If not for McAmis determination, they would have lost to Union. Idc about any of them to be honest, but to say McAmis is not one of the best players in the M7 is ridiculous. When you stop hating, maybe you can be objective. Quote

TheDuke Posted February 21, 2020 Report Posted February 21, 2020 And that's why you won't be putting any teams together, you can't see past your own hate, and be objective about talent. Assuming someone defending him is him is absurd. There are those of us mature adults that can look at a player objectively and judge them based on how they play. Weatherman and Hokie777 2 Quote

To say the kid is not a good basketball player simply blows me away. Quote
TheDuke Posted February 21, 2020 Report Posted February 21, 2020 I hate to break this to you, but he doesn't have that much talent around him. Top to bottom, GC, Abingdon, Union, and Lee are all better than Wise. Quote
