    Read on anothere web site today that Alexander Central is looking for a Men's Basketball coach. What happened with Boone? It sure seems that it may be hard to please som epeople in T-Ville. Boone inherited a program that didn't win a conference game in three years, and has been one game out of the playoffs the last two years. I hope it is not another case of the Good Ole Boys picking and choosing coaches.

    As a viewer from a distance, I can tell you Boone's team.. gasp.. UNDERACHIEVED for two years. The group of seniors from this year should have breezed to that last playoff spot and to be quite honest were more talented than McDowell who finished third.

    Knowing a few people at AC, I can tell you Boone was never going to win any popularity contests because of his arrogance to other teachers and coaches.

    Moving ahead, AC has some returning talent. I personally think that team can be a legit playoff contender next year. I know South Caldwell has alot of returning players as does McDowell. East Burke graduated alot but that never seems to hurt Bliss. I think its a sign of a great coach is one that doesn't have to rebuild, he just reloads. I feel the same way about Davis at Freedom but to a lesser degree. I don't know if anyone will agree with me, but the talent pool at Freedom is greater than most of the rest of the NW4a if just for the sheer number of students at the school. Reynolds loses their two top scorers, so I think they will stuggle. Watauga is going to struggle too I think.

    Will be interesting to see the contenders for the job... cause in one year, they might do what Boone didn't...

    If wins and losses were the indicator of job performance, Deal and Whittington should turn in their resignations with Boone.:applause:

    Does anyone know if they have even offered the job to Brian Lewis? He was Coach Boone's assistant for 2-3 years. He knows the kids, and the system. He is very qualified and he is "in house". I am not sure if he wants the job, but if he does then he should have a chance to show what he can do.:xyzthumbs
