What his vaunted 2-3 zone where he teaches his guards to reach from behind? All I know is he better hope Bud Wimzie stays on the staff...That ring of his may catch the attention of the superintendent wanted to hire a "big name" but it doesn't get the kids' respect all on its own.

We'll see how the Mountains, 4/5 starters in FCA, and kids who still say "yes sir, no sir" prepare him for coaching in the city, where it is more about keeping the kids outta of trouble, off the street, outta bad circles of people, and in class.

1st order of business for the Holmes coach will be how to handle the Kevon Rice situation who will be their best player next yr not to mention it affects where his bro Dontell is gonna play.

We'll see, I'm not sold on this choice b/c he won the state title with the best team with the best draw.

1. Bud Wimzie will be back on the staff next year. It's already been arranged with the athletic director and superintendent, from what I hear.

2. What does living in the mountains have to do with replying with "yes sir, no sir?" You obviously didn't see the article from Holmes state championship run last year where the superintendent was personally notified by a random woman about how respectful the Holmes players were when she saw them in a restaurant. She was so impressed, she sent a letter not only to the CIPS superintendent, but also several newspapers around the state. Just because these kids are inner city doesn't mean they're disrespectful and anyone who knows next year's group of players will be the first to tell you they are all high character kids.

3. What do you mean by "Kevon Rice situation?" He will be the best talent on next year's team but he'll be surrounded with plenty of help and knows what he has to do to help the TEAM. As far as Dontel goes, he is more of a 2/3 type player. Kevon is a 3/4. With the recent emergence of 6'9 jr David Stephens, Rice will have help down low to keep the double teams away. I've also heard 6'4 Manny Nelson (younger brother of former Holmes player Josh Nelson) will be at Holmes next year which will take even more pressure off Kevon.

4. Best team with the best draw, or not, the experience is there and he runs the type of system that will get the kids excited to play for him. As long as Bud Wimzie is on the sidelines, I'm fine with Sullivan, Miller, or Booher being the next head coach. Only time will tell though.
