Is WC looking to make a coaching change at the end of the year? They usually have some talented boys but they don't seem to play together at all. If they get beat tonight by White Hall which would mean White Hall sweeps them this year, the seat has to be pretty warm. What do you think?

The program definitely has fallen and the coach doesn't appear to know what he's doing. However, the talent level is way down this year so...they may give him a pass.

Where did he come from and was he a head coach previous? Is it a lack of talent or just undisciplined? I know their football team had a lot of talent on the field this year but they just played undisciplined and beat themselves in most games. Every program has undisciplined players and with all the entitlement these days, it does not help the matter.

I can tell you that it is different when you coach talented players. I don't think he knows what the heck he is doing either.

Talent is an all time low imo. "Red" their starting point guard quit due to their coaching situation. They really do have a weak starting 5 with a very weak bench. I feel their season can't be fully pinned on their coach, because he doesn't have much to work with this year. I say give him a year or 2 to wait for more talent to come through (which it definitely will) and see if their team improves or not.

He's a young guy, early 30s I believe...he played ball at PBHS in his high school days...I think he was an assistant at NLR and Marion before coming to WC.

Tell Red to come on over to the High! Tillmon is welcome to come back as well!

The thing is I was told this coach was better than the coach they had last year!

What do you know about Kaleb Higgins? He's one of the best i've seen in High school basketball in recent years. Tremendous range, soft touch, and great vision. I wish he was just a few inches taller and i know the offers would roll in daily. Do you know of any offers that he has right now? We need UAPB to look at him, could make a big impact on that team.

He's a baller! I wish he was taller to...but someone will take a chance on him (would like that to be UAPB)...I haven't heard of any offers he has received.
