MBB: Great South Athletic Conference

GSAC Killer · August 21, 2007, 08:47:00 AM

How about them SCOTS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Season is almost here....

Only reason Fisk was kicked out, or voted out or whatever the case was, was due to the way they ran the athletic program. The fact you are a predominately black school had nothing to do with it. IT IS WHAT IT IS!! As an athletic department you did not meet the requirements and rules all the other schools followed and met.

Wilburt just man up and say my alma mater did not do these things. Its not a racial thing my brother. Facts are facts!

Lets keep this board going with basketball talk not this racial nonsense that has divided us as people and in whole as a nation. It exists both ways! I see people as people not black or white..

By the way anyone interested in getting players I have about 10 kids I am trying to help out. If you are interested shoot me an email raulplaceres@sevier.org

I am glad you now see people as people. This must come as a sudden epiphany from someone who once said that some Fisk players acted like a bunch of animals. Miracles do indeed happen!

Last I checked, humans were part of the animal kingdom.

Excuse me Pat. I'm sorry. I must have erroneously thought that humans were part of mankind.

Pat Coleman · August 21, 2007, 02:42:08 PM

You haven't taken a biology class, I guess.

No I did in fact but it was such a long time ago though. I think I skipped the lecture on animal kingdom - too boring

Good! Anything to get away from talking about racism ...

Let's all gather up our books, change classes, and go to 5th grade science for awhile.

Rumor of the day:
Word on the street is that Don Imus (after completing his sensitivity training/ political correctness course) was heard to remark at a basketball game, "Would you look at those Gosh Darn players ... they are behaving like a bunch of primates!"

As one of my favorites, that Great American, Richard Pryor, would say ... now there's some political correctness fo yo a$$!

Everyone take a deep, cleansing breath ... and lighten up.

back to basketball, i heard a rumor that could shake up the GSAC
it is not often that kids transfer from Maryville and end up playing somewhere else, but i have heard there are a couple playing now
Jeff Willis is down at Barry in Florida and there is another
anyone care to guess who left MC and now is enrolled at another D3 school, Old Lion?

GSAC Killer · August 22, 2007, 09:10:34 AM

Someone get Wilburt a date!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Wilburt could you come up with another team who has acted like those Fisk players did that night in Maryville? I was in the gym that night and it was a disgrace to Fisk as school. Celebrate with class!!

Guess who helped Willis go to Barry?

mattgrubb · August 24, 2007, 12:15:59 PM

why does this board always die when someone actually mentions GSAC basketball?

Willis would look better in the Scots new uniforms.

The rumor i mentioned earlier has not been addressed by Old Lion and i know he knows and he is not telling us about who has arrived in Demorest.

Sorry Matt, I'm not going to be able to comment on recruiting any time soon. I'm currently under a doctor's care, attempting to deal with the acute frustration brought on by the "powers that be" at PC who refused to admit a 6'5' JUCO leaper who was ready to play for the Lions.

The Doc has recommended that I just attempt to put it out of my mind ... and that I drink heavily. The drinking seems to be helping ... but, it's going to take a while ...

So is Lambert getting a sponsorship from Red Bull this season?

I look down the roster and all I see are wings, wings and more wings.

coachwgh · August 27, 2007, 04:52:48 PM

That's funny...I may need a Red Bull I.V. to get through this season. Today was Freshman move in day. All our guys are here and accounted for so I will very vaguely break down our new guys that are coming in. We have a combo guard from NW GA that will be more PG than 2G after we had a PG de-commit in the late spring. He is a great competitor and can score but he played small ball and he is really quiet, so I hope he loosens up and can stand the intensity. The jury is still out but I think he can help in his first year. We have two teammates from northern GA, 1 post, 1 combo guard. The guard can't play point so I guess he really isn't a combo guard afterall and the post needs some developmental work. I see the post getting to a rebound/defense kind of guy now and maybe he can make a lay-up in a year. We got an athletic tweener that was coached in high school by a Maryville alum so, take that Scots. He doesn't exactly know what to do with what he has but he will play this year and help. We also have a really great athlete who came to school last year but had to leave after a couple of days due to family concerns then returned for summer school. He is currently ineligible but hopefully one day he will be able to play for us because he has the ability of both Maddox and Lawrence and those guys did pretty well for themselves. Speaking of those guys...Lawrence has a CBA offer and Maddox went to one final workout this past weekend and is hoping to shake something up. We have another N GA kid that can really shoot it! He needs some work everywhere else in his game but is a phenomenal person and student so I am really going to enjoy having him around. We have a couple of Soph transfers. One is Maddox's little bro who didn't play last season. He has improved so much since his JR year in high school that he is almost like another person. The other kid is a coaches son to the core. He can really, really shoot it. We have a state champion from ATL area that is long, and raw who is smart enough to adjust quickly but he needs some weight and strength. There will be more to come...

Coach: Why is it that I get the feeling the picture you see is better than the one you paint for us?

coachwgh · August 28, 2007, 03:43:23 PM

I'm a coach not a painter, sorry. We also have a couple of junior transfers. One that will help and one that will need some time. Along with the younger Maddox we picked up another local kid that is coming back to town. He is a lefty, and you know I love lefties, that played for a buddy and alum here in town. That should round it out. I have been debating with myself all summer on what in the world we are going to do. I even thought since Duckworth is out of the GSAC I could implement the Princeton system(it is really more of a philosophy than a system). Hopefully we won't have to deviate too far from the status quo. BTW...I had Country's B-B-Q for the first time and it really didn't do much for me. Any of you Maryville guys that are making the trip down for the football opener can find me under the Falcon's(it was red and black and on sale) tent by the soccer field. Go Panthers! I don't really know any of our football players but I love their coaching staff. They bust their butts for their kids and they are good people.
