Head coach Allison Clark has resigned this morning. It should be interesting to see what direction the school goes in to hire a new coach. It's been a rough couple of years for a program that is probably the most tradition-rich program in all of TN Girls HS basketball.

I have kept up with girls basketball since the 70's and I did notice that Shelbyville has really fallen off in the last couple of years. What's going on down there? I know that when Insell was there, they would get players from all over to come there. What's up?

Very true statement.

Our AAU program has really gone downhill ever since Insell left. They were lining up to play for Rick, but that just isn't the case now. The resources are still here, we just need a coach who is willing to put in the effort and get to work. It won't happen overnight, as we are a long ways away from where we were 7-8 years ago.

Great hire for the girls. To say he had done a great job for the boys would be a huge understatement as he took them to several state tourneys. Big loss for them.

I dunno. I'm taking it as an indictment that the boys might not have alot of talent coming up in the next few classes.

Overall, KT is a fantastic coach, and having seen Insell in action for many years, he knows what it's going to take to make the Eaglettes an elite program again, and I think he can get that done. In my opinion, he is the best X's and O's coach in the district, boys or girls.

You have a great feel for that situation. KT is a great coach and IMO he knows tough times are ahead for the boys program. Keeping him in Shelbyville is a victory for the community regardless of the program he is coaching.

sooooo, one should be happy that he abandoned the boys because they are going to be weak the next few years......sounds like a HS coach with no guts and one that is only worried about his won lose record to me......good luck to him

He has coached girls before and as he states to the press he has two daughters that he is interested in coaching. Its a combination of a lot of factors. Find me a coach that doesn't care about winning and losing and I will find you one that doesn't need to coach anymore. In case you haven't noticed winning games with the girls hasn't been easy either in recent years so questioning his guts might be a little harsh.

A h.s. coach must run a clean program that the community is proud of both on and off the field. If they don't have both the on and off the field success they should be relieved of their duties. Yes that includes wins and loses and doesn't include those green participation ribbons that you seem to covet.

Obviously you are a mentor to the kids you coach when you are dealing with HS kids, but if you're not coaching with the ultimate goal of winning, you're not much of a coach, imo.

You're not saying much of anything worthwhile. That's the point.

HS coaches in plenty of places are gauged by their win/loss ratio. How is that a bad thing?

Outstanding students and a winning product on the field are not mutually exclusive like you are implying.

so, now we have a mind reader in the thread, welcome....the point is that a good coach is both and should not be judged meerly by wins and loses......the people that understand the importance of the building young adults over wins are the ones that do our kids the best service....the parents that place all the value on wins are what is wrong with high school athletics.......thanks for playing

There hasn't been one poster in this thread say wins and loses are the only thing a high school coach should be judged by. The fact is there had been one poster that said repeatedly that wins and losses being considered when judging a high coach "is sad". The only thing that's sad is now you are changing your stance and admitting that winning games is more important than just getting that little green ribbon that means "thanks for playing".
