27,276,357! Wow...that's a bunch
"As of today (August 27, 2024) we have redirected 27,276,357 fans to sports articles, since 2001..."
CoachT.com was started in 1997, as a simple web page for the Lawrence County (TN) Lady Cat's basketball team. In 2000, I joined with Rivals.com for a year until they ran into some temporary financial difficulties from which they have since recovered. So, since 2001 I have been on my own, so to speak, with Bradley Lambert as the tech guy who makes it all hum.
At the outset, sportswriters would contact me and ask "Why are you running my articles!!" My reply a simple "I'm not. I am running your headlines and sending YOU readers." Their reply, "Oh, OK. I see. Why are you doing that?" Because you are the expert, have all of the info, and do a great job presenting it. Why would I want to steal your work when I can help you, and me, by doing it this way? Since then, no problems. In fact, I occasionally get emails and texts telling me about articles that I might want to run. :)
Successful? As of today (August 27, 2024) we have redirected 27,276,357 fans to sports articles since 2001. Approximately 1.2 million a year and growing!
CoachT is now slowly expanding to other states as new editors come aboard. Currently (besides Tennessee Prep, College, and Pro sites), we have sites up-and-running in Alabama, Florida, Georgia, Indiana, Kentucky, North Carolina, Texas, & Virginia. The "Tennessee" pull-down menu at the top left will show you the links to those states.
Why expand? I will soon be 72 and I want to get as many highly competent people involved in running CoachT as I can in order to have experienced people in place when they are needed in the future. My wife, Elaine, is a huge part of the site but I don't want her to feel obligated to put her time and effort into it in the future. There will come a time for others to take over.
I am proud of what we have accomplished thus far and hope to continue for many, many years.
