TN Basketball and the Knox County Trustees Office have had possibly similar travels. They had one guy that had been there awhile, got careless, took some liberties that were not acceptable had to leave. Then along came a new young guy, he spent some time there and eventually said hey time to pack up and then head off to work myself in a better more productive venture. Then along comes a short termer, hopefully Donnie will do better in his new venture than having to return to the previous government office making less than he made prior to the appointed Trustee job.

Along comes a seasoned steady hand, one with principles, character and knowledge of the task. Both can be said of Barnes and Shouse. Here’s hoping Shouse can realize that there’s an employee still there that has been through all the different regimes and that is likely a determent to his operation.
