Dockery signs with King

Titans' Dockery to sign with King

Twin Springs senior basketball player Mark Dockery announced Wednesday that he would sign a national letter of intent Friday to continue his playing career at King College in Bristol, Tenn. Dockery, a 6-foot-5 wing player, scored more than 1,600 points during his career that featured 75 wins over four seasons at Twin Springs. He averaged 19.2 points and 8.8 rebounds per game as a senior for head coach John McCrary's Titans. He made three trips to the state final four during his career.

congrats to him. i think king college is a good fit for him.

Should have went to Emory. They would let him shoot the three all he wants to.

Congrats to him.
Coach Pitts is a good coach. That's a great opportunity to have the chance to learn more about the game from him.

I agree, this is a great chance for him to learn more about the game...Since one of his aspirations in life is to be a Varsity basketball coach in this area [img]/LDPforum/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wink.gif[/img], or that is what he said in the KTN anyway

I agree. The basketball at Emory is a joke. It's not basketball it's Johnsonball.

pitts must be making a lot of money at king. it appears to me that king college (although it's college basketball) is somewhat a step down from the high school jobs he's had in the past. i know he's a great coach though.

They are suppose to be going Division II, Division II is a step up from Science Hill and Brentwood, but I see what your saying right now at an NAIA school it would look like a step down. I think Pitts came on the idea of King going Division II NCAA.

congratulations to mark from someone he's went to battle with and against. Good Luck Mark!

it won't be like that within 2 years...they're bringing in some new blood and gonna go back to the old way of doing things

In what time frame??? Most of the E&H ball I've seen is run-'em-in-and-run'em-out. I don't see how anyone can get into any kind of rhythm with the way Johnson plays them. I think King is a good fit for Mark and hope he really lights it up there.

Johnson won't be there when Dockery is there

If your used to playing in it it isn't that bad from the fellas I have talked to up there. I think all of them enjoy it because of how fun the system is to run.
