Haywood, Smith, Scroggins, Larkey, Haddix, Holcomb, Dud, Mac, Mattney



I see your dislike for Haddix. You make it obvious.    But he was one of the best things that happened to Corbin.  9-0 against Bell. And maybe more against Casey.  Losers focus on winners, winners focus on winning. 

All the above are the best at their craft. And Haddix is the youngest.  I won’t say he is the best.    But he has time.

Also, liked and respected doesn’t always go together. 

I’d bet that one of the guys above walks into your coaches conference, you feel their presence, and listen.  If not, you are the one that looks like a clown.

Because I didn't list Haddix, this is actual coaches conferences that I have been too doesn't mean I don't think he can coach. Hate? I've never met him, get a grip. This post is nothing about Haddix, other than if you list him or not. I didn't, and if that makes your neck fur stand up, ah well. . I have never saw Haddix do a seminar, or hanging out with other coaches. At this time I'm not even sure he attended these things. This is why I ASKED, who YOU thought, as I had listed mine. Good grief. So I will just take out of this, you got Haddix on your list...Good deal.

The coaches that come to mind from my playing days are Haywood, Roark and Derrosset. I know I might be leaving a couple out that we played against but you knew these guys were going to have their teams ready and they would play hard for 48 minutes.

With that being said I would follow my old coach, Mike Holcomb, into battle over anyone.

This is great stuff. This is why I made the thread. Even some coaches who have losing records are respected when they run a show professionally, are hospitable to away coaches and teams at their facility, and another coach sees they discipline players, and coach with heart and fire. I think that goes even further, sometimes than wins. But when you have both, like a Haywood, and Dudley, then that is where ultimate respect comes in and Legend status is born.
