The
2007-2008 season will be Coach Hobbs' first season as the Freshmen Boys'
Basketball coach at Ravenwood
High School. Along with
his coaching duties, Coach Hobbs teaches Sports Statistics, Discrete
Mathematics, and Advanced Algebra in the Mathematics Department at
Ravenwood. He is also the school sponsor for the Ravenwood
Rugby team.
Hobbs was a
2001 graduate of Richland
High School in Giles
County Tennessee, where he lettered for four years in basketball and one
year in baseball. Hobbs was part of a
rebuilding process at Richland
where he played point guard under the direction of Coach Darrell Long.
The Raiders went winless in Hobbs' freshman season and won only five games
his sophomore season, before turning things around and winning 17 games and
then 21 games with a trip to sub-state play his senior year.
After
graduating from Richland, Hobbs
attended Middle Tennessee State
University where he
worked for four years at the MTSU athletic department. He spent much of
his time helping with recruiting mailouts and media packets for Mens'
Basketball and Football. While in college, he also kept statistics
for the Boys' basketball program at Blackman
High School in Murfreesboro,
and worked several basketball camps such as a summer camp for high school
girls at Riverdale
High School under the
direction of Coach Michael Burt. In the spring of 2001, Hobbs coached an AAU basketball team of 8th Graders
and Freshmen at Cornersville High School in Cornersville, TN.
Most
of Hobbs'
coaching experience thus far has been with younger players and he is very
focused on the conditioning, mental toughness, and fundamentals needed to
develop younger athletes into successful high school varsity players.
