Wow. The amount of cluelessness from some people on here really amazes me. How about be around the program everyday before coming on here and bashing Coach Thompson and his assistants? Coach Thompson is a guy that knows what he is doing and so do his assistants. The staff works hard to get guys ready for EVERY GAME. Coach Thompson, Coach Copley, Coach Hurley and Coach Varney are in gyms every night for a game whether that's scouting or a game of our own. Coach Thompson is constantly putting game plans together and scouting opponents, not just once but multiple times before we play them, he pours his heart into the program and the kids that put the jerseys on now days just don't care about it, this man stays in a gym until 10, 11 and 12 at night putting everything together. The kids wont listen to any of the coaches and try to take things into their own hands instead of listening to the ones that know what they are doing. If he tries to sit the seniors and let the younger guys go he will get backlash in the community and on here, if he was to win 30 games I am completely positive someone would come on here and complain and say he is terrible and "got lucky". Coach Thompson is here to stay for a while and Belfry is lucky to have a coach that actually cares about the program. Luckily, our group of 8th graders-sophomores are ones that actually care and give RESPECT to the coaches. Because if you can't tell the group from last season and the ones this season had NO RESPECT for ANY COACH on the staff and doesn't listen. And from what I have been told, these guys (group of seniors last year and this year) don't listen to any coaches from football to baseball as well. So be ready in the next year or so for a complete program turn around, with Coach Thompson IN CHARGE. Get outta here wishing he was gone cause it isn't happening. If you want to be a coach, go talk to the administration about volunteering your time, because I am positive that you won't do it. Have a nice day.

Grow some and come talk to me I’m a life long Belfry fan Mark sucks as a coach no the kids from last year’s team didn’t have no respect for him because one would cuss a coach and nothing would happen another would go off the rail and he would try to discipline him you know treating kids different none get tearted the same that’s why there’s no respect come talk to me about it I’m sure I’ll tell you some shit you don’t want to here but I’ll tell you anyway this basketball program sucks Thompson sucks as a coach and your assessment of the situation sucks now you have a nice day
