Lets see how politics ruin a program,,,,

You are a losing program (jenkins) you get lucky and get a coach in Chris Tolliver who decides to take over a horribly ran program, only with the thoughts of building it back to what it should be. A coach who left a 16th region championship team in mid season to move back to his roots to help build a program in his own county where he lived his whole life. Note the fact he WAS getting paid in a school district that was one of the highest in the state.
To take a job with a team he knew was in terrible shape, horribly ran, and completly depleated compared to the team he currently coached. Not to mention a team that was abandonded in mid season by a coach Jerry Bentley. Who took the luxery of scheduling games knowing he was leaving in mid season. Translation that means he scheduled games he knew they could not win which in turn meant the new coach hired would not win games either. Trying only to make himself not look so horrible as a coach.
Now you have a coach in Chris Tolliver who takes the team he is given fights through all the problems, people attached to the program that he had to keep, also not having practice time, no money to fund a program, and only a few parents that support him. He takes this team and does his best to get the team prepared for a new year his first upcoming full year.
WHAT DO YOU DO (JENKINS)
"TERMINATE" HIM WHY Because he actually tried to coach a team with the best players on the floor and THAT caused him to ruffle a few feathers on the school board/site based council who had children on the team who were not better than some kids who were playing CONGRATULATIONS JENKINS

Lets see what you have lost here are Coach Tollivers Credentials only because you are not smart enough to realize what you have:
His credentials listed below might be new to you all,,,,i am sure you have not known them before now:

-1 regional championship as player 1 time in 53 years a team made it to state tourney from our county in basketball
-former college basketball/ baseball player
-2 consecutive district titles (head ast coach)
-2 consecutive regional titles (head ast coach)
-2 consecutive 20 + win seasons (head ast coach)
-only 11 losses in 2 seasons (head ast coach) all of which to top 25 teams in state
-34-2 record as (jv head coach)
-2 consecutive region sweeps undefeated season in the 16th region (head ast coach)

Here is what you have gained New Coach Ashley Addington's credentials:
Nothing against her but lets be honest is the the right hire to rebuild a program in the shape jenkins is currently in: (not because of Coach Tolliver)

- no experience
- never played college basketball
- never coached a team period EVER

So congratualtions Jenkins you have truly thrown yourselves into a hole again by letting POLITICS ruin a program,,,,,,,Good Luck next season I am sure your games will be alot easier, WHY cause this coach actually knew what he was doing........he scheduled games so the kids could have a chance of success because WHY he wanted to WIN not for himself but because he knew the kids would be able to enjoy it a little more,,,,,,,hmmmm,,,,,,kinda makes a little more sence than politics in a school,,,,you know the thought a person might care about the kids who play for him more than the people around the program who should not be involved,,,,,
I hope new coach addington knows what she is getting into,,,,my next article will probely have to defend her as well because if their is a chance JENKINS will definitly mess up her chance at improving the program as well,,,,
