MBB: Great South Athletic Conference

Player haters unite ...

[ohyeah]

Dont know if I would call it hating or speaking the truth.  Wilburt, I think I remember you being ashamed of his actions at one point in time. 

[mattgrubb]

i would not call it hating either, i would call it giving an undeserved award, the kid did get ejected from multiple games and disgrace himself after one of his victories, which he was ejected from, these are not qualifications of a sportsmanship award in my book, he may have been a talented player, but his sportsmanship was suspect at best, he stopped just short of head butting

Not me ... as I said, I like Chris Adams. Intensity is a good thing. It's a shame some of his mentors along they way weren't able to help him learn how to focus it in a more positive manner.

I just find it interesting that someone (Glover?) would choose him as the Fisk player to single out for a sportsmanship award.

You are usually pretty good at explaining "all things Fisk". Care to venture an explanation here?

Old Lion I thought I answered that in my previous quote with this:

Congratulations Chris! This kind of makes up for not making the All-GSAC team.

[mattgrubb]

what i addressed were the things that kept him off of the all gsac team and no it does not make up for it, at the end of the day, every player in the gsac wants to be on the all conference team and every good player would like to get the poy award, it is nice to be recognized by your peers (coaches of other gsac schools) as one of hte best in your league and you can do things to keep yourself from getting the recognition your abilities deserve and Adams is an example of that and hopefully an example that future gsac players will learn from

[wilburt]

I just find everyone's reactions and this whole thing quite humorous and ironic on a certain level  .

OK, I may be getting confused here ... let me see if I'm properly understanding your explanation ...

You are saying that Glover threw him a bone (nominating him for the Sportsmanship Award) to make up for the fact the he didn't make the all-GSAC team?

Well I agree with you about the irony ... considering that one of the primary reasons he wasn't named all-GSAC in the first place, was that he exhibited such poor sportsmanship!

As that great American, Richard Pryor, would have said, "Now that's some irony for yo ass!"

Stop. Please Stop. You guys are cracking me up  !

I have just now figured out our secret X factor for next year.  He is from Miami Florida and he is Cuban.  Can you say "Raul Placeres."  Well its not Raul but I am told by my sources that he is a freaking beast in the paint.

No need to be coy, SB. If you have some news, let's hear some details.

[mattgrubb]

don't losers get sportsmanship awards, winners get championships?

yeah i think lambert has about 4 players left, he is getting a very quick pg coming in from the E. TN area, similar to coppage but a little smarter i think.

He is waiting on a couple of other committments but the D2 schools in the area are still messing around with some guys, that will end soon enough and the cream will end up at MC

I miss Jarvis Townes

Sometimes you get both.  I thoroughly enjoyed coaching my children in soccer, baseball and softball.  My kids were on some very talented teams, and I have 5 Sportsmanship Trophies from seasons that we won or were finalists in the post-season tourney.

(As for hoops, I was a slow, white, short, church league, back-up #2 guard with an awesome 7" vertical leap!   I can conceptualize hoops! 8) )

[Spencer Beaty]

I have good and bad news on the homefront.  First the bad.  Spencer Beaty, my namesake, will be going to take the head coaching job at Gatlinburg-Pittman.  No, not a college like he deserves, but a struggling high school program.  It really pains me to see that happen.  Also a little more news in recruiting.  There is a very real possibility that a 6 10 monster from milligan who is transfering is coming to maryville.  He has narrowed it down and Murvul is still on the list.

[Spencer Beaty]

I would also like to congratulate Matt Grubb on his new starter role he has earned.  Congrats and i hope to be there in a few.
