Nettleton Basketball

woopork · February 07, 2018, 03:01:58 pm

Any Nettleton basketball followers on here? Looking at their schedule today and they have some spectacular wins and they have some spectacular losses. Wasn't sure if someone had been injured at some point or how they have beaten Jonesboro and West Memphis, but also lost to Vilonia and Paragould. Seemed awfully curious to me.

Nettleton has great talent but they are very inconsistent. They have seemed to struggle lately and I haven't noticed any injuries. Not sure what's going on.

May have peaked too early.

Coach M will get it right. Talented team no doubt. That little guard they've got can flat out go. I could see a semi finals run even still.

Nettleton seems to play to the level of their competition too much. It can be a dangerous thing for great teams. Play up against good competition. Play down against bad competition.

Lots of talent, but they seem to have some maturity issues in my opinion...

birddawg1986 · February 26, 2018, 08:47:34 pm

Happens every year. Should be a final four team every year.

The whole East is weak and Nettleton seems to be lacking the confidence they had early in the year.

Luckily high school coaches don't get fired for losing. If they did MM would be on his way out the door. Very talented Nettleton under achieves again.

I'm sure you don't under achieve at what you do in life.

Calling for the dismissal of a high school educator because the basketball team didn't perform to your expectations. Nice priorities! There is one small hole in your reasoning. College coaches make ungodly amounts of money. They don't teach any other subjects. They don't patrol the lunch room to keep an eye on students. They don't go without. High school coaches are underpaid. If you factor in practice, travel, meetings and other activities their hourly rate would work out to way under minimum wage. Maybe you should seek out the coach and just say "Thank you for all you do for the kids, great job". You should say this regardless of the teams record.

What a clown that guy is.. unless you're in on every practice and every meeting and you know 100% what is going on within the team, don't ever get on here and call for the dismissal of a coach. If you are in fact in on everything and you still get on here and call for the dismissal of a coach, you're even worse imo. Clearly you don't coach though. I'm sure Coach M doesn't get on carfacts dot com and talk about how sorry of a used car salesman you are.

Nobody said FIRE the HS coach. Read the statement

Once again nobody said FIRE the coach. You also read the statement.

PapaHog · March 01, 2018, 07:27:19 am

No you just implied that he would be "if". Which is a moronic statement.

Thank you. No, he never actually said fire the coach, he implied it. This is not a smart man.

Arkansas is a good state to coach high school basketball in then. Because high school coaches in Illinois and Missouri get fired all the time for losing or not meeting the communities expectations

4real · March 01, 2018, 11:50:28 am

it does happen in Arkansas. not as common as it was 30 years ago. nor as common as you see with football.

dalemurphy · March 01, 2018, 11:54:09 am

It is very common in Illinois and Missouri and getting more common everyday. If a high school basketball coach isn't coaching in their hometown, they better win even with bad talent. Even if they are winning, guys that last more than 5-7 years at one school are few and far between anymore.

CoachEagleCat · March 01, 2018, 01:04:17 pm

They won 20 games. Conference champs. Beat the 7A West Champs, beat both Jonesboro and West Memphis, beat 4A favorites Arkansas Baptist. That's a heck of a year.

5A is tougher, top to bottom, than 6A and 7A in my opinion.

McCord has more basketball knowledge than most coaches would ever dream of having. For some reason his teams fizzle towards the end of the year.

He works hard at his craft and his teams are always competitive.

PapaHog · March 02, 2018, 08:27:06 am

Preach to em!

5A has been best classification in basketball for several years now. If they still played overalls, 5A would probably have 12 of last 15 overall titles.
