That was Shumate's first year. She had to do damage control from the previous coach. She worked hard and built the program. No reason for excuses. Winning the conference 2 out of 4 years. Going to the regionals for the first time in school history. Not too bad. So Coach Behrens and followers go compare yourself with another coach, because you look inferior when you try to compare yourself to a winner.
Sorry 😭.

I guess the fact that the football team also lost every game doesn't mean anything? You all keep living in you're little fantasy world and pretending that there is talent. PLEASE take off you're blinders and see it like it is. You are playing against teams with better TALENT! .It is just that simple.

not an administrator haha

so what was Shumate's excuse when she had a WINLESS season? haha. You and Behrens now have something in common

This coach had a team full of sophomores and lost his best player before the season started.. But look at the future those sophomores played some tough teams this year excluding elkin and east. Your honestly looking at a team that has the potential to win this conference in a few years. There's a few bright spots ahead it's just hard to win when those kids are playing 4 pretty dominant teams especially Alleghany and Starmount

If you put him in the record books, how about putting that softball coach from last year in too. She not worth being a coach!!

Congratulations Behrens! You're in the school record book now. First time in the history of the school that North Wilkes boys basketball has gone winless!

If you want to fired the basketball coach for going 0-23(0-14) go ahead and fired that softball coach last year that went 0-17(0-14) and 12 of them games was ended in 5th or 6th inning.

Coach Cross was in the 90's . See I make mistakes too.

Some times a new coach can be worse then what you have remember Coach Cross at WWHS back in the late 80's he won only 1 game in two years and hade a above average team. Suck it up support the teams , the school and the players. The good players walking the hall need to start listing to their heart. As I said befor it is for the love of the game. Have you ever coach in school? Why, because there is more then just coaching players. A smart coach is looking at grades how a child does in their every day walk of life also when everyone else is gone they are locking a gym, putting up gear, mowing a field. Picking up in a locker room wondering who left their 200.00 shoes or glove laying and forgot it. Follow a middle or high school coach around for a week and see what you don't see. No more then a coach gets paid why do they take time from their family to put up with all the BS from everyone. Again I say suck it up without support they cane never win. Those without sin (fault) let then stand in the middle and get hit by the first stone. There is no perfect coach and will never be one. Tell the coaches the good things they do if only one and pray they will get better at the others. Se you in church on Sunday it make for a lot better week and a better state of mind !!!!!!

I am sure that the administration will look at their basketball program after this year, and they should. They should also look at football volleyball baseball and all the sports that they have, and make decisions that they think is in the best interest of their school and community. And since they are entrusted with the leadership role at that school, it is their decision to make. Coach Behrens or any other coach may or may not be asked back next year, but I would sure hate to think the decision was based on a record without any other consideration. If every coach at every school that finished last one year was fired, there would not be many coaches left around My only hope is that they do what is best for the school and the players, that is all I really care about anyway.

There are many more reasons but the current administration will never fire this coach. They are buddies. Winning is not important to her. Those she likes can get away with anything. It's not his lack of talent. He couldn't even win against the teams he was competitive with. What's the excuse with that? He doesn't utilize what he does have. They are totally out of control. He could have done better. I give lots of credit to the players for playing hard, but they need a new leader. Losers make excuses.

Sorry guys but you need to come up with a different reason to fire a coach than their record. If Mike Kryzewski coached this North Wilkes team, he would have likely went 0-23 also or maybe 1-22. Would you be wanting to fire him also. Be realistic if you watched them play, that team was very limited talent wise. They were very young, and I am sure will get better as they mature, but this year they just were not very good. In small school basketball, you will go through years where you will just not be very good and I fear that was the case this year. A dear friend of mine won 1 game in a 2 year stretch at one point, and has since been selected by his peers as the coach of the year. You must accept the peaks and valleys that come with small boundary schools. Not saying that Coach Behrens does or does not do a good job, because I am not there everyday, but find a different reason than his record this year if you want him fired.

I agree

The good book says if you are running a race run to win. 0-23 is not winning in any book. You play (coach) with the cards you are dealt. Dance with the one you brought to the dance. Love the one your with. However you want to say it. 0-23, fire him!!!

Look who is walking the halls that can play basketball and did not try out or QUIET. I understand Eller, Wooten and Greene were very demanding too. Look what they done suck it up be a man. It is not the love of the coach it is the love of the game. To all keep warm stay in and all ways put JESUS first and all thing are possible.

I am getting behind and supporting the team. When the team goes 0-23 the coach needs to go for the betterment of the program and the players. No that is not stupid as the brain trust Hawki says. If your coaching is that bad you need to go.

Why don't you guys leave this coach alone, he does the best with what he has all coaches are different just because he has a hard work out I am sure there are players walking the halls that can't take it. They would rather be quiters and walk away. When they get 40 they will look back and not like it being a quiters. The only thing that is wrong is no support. I don't agree with the JV coach telling players they SUCK in open gym just before try outs. Then try to get them to play after he only has a few players try out. Maybe all parents should get behind all North Wilkes sports in this school district. Middle and High School. When was the last time you went to a booster club meeting and showed support. I have herd only a few will show like maybe 8-10 either school. As JFK said don't as what the school can do for my child but what I the parent can do for my child and the school. Remember also there are kids the can't even afford shoes every year,have no family support,maybe parent that just don't care . It might be the parent does not have extra money to support their child. Love the sports for what it is not because it is My Child any mine only. Well it Softball/Baseball season around the corner maybe the basketball coaches can get a brake.
