Ultimately they let him go after the program got hammered over recruiting players and such. He's won 6 state titles at the highest levels in the state, though.

But he has definitely seen a ridiculous amount of talent in his day. He's coached against Wheeler and Norcross and all the top schools in GA that constantly produce major talent.

He also tweeted this - 'Scouts: don't forget to include heart, desire, and guts in your rankings: Tookie Brown is a FIVE star. The best when the best is needed!'
Also - 'I tried box and 1; triangle and 2; straight man; sagging man; zone; nothing worked against Tookie Brown. Best I have seen.'

Boyd is kind of a shady guy with regard to how he runs programs, but again, he's no doubt seen his share of talent. Pretty cool to have him say that about Tookie.
The Boyd Brothers are definitely GA Basketball Legends. Cal was great player. The teams from Campbell (82 State Champ) that David coached and Cal was the PG for were unreal. 1980s basketball in Cobb County/Marietta was fun to be around as a kid. Marietta (83 State Champ) had Cedric Henderson (famously signed LOI to 3 schools before "landing" at UGA), and the battles against Campbell were wild.

If you want to see Tookie in the final, you can watch here: http://www.nfhsnetwork.com/associations/ghsa

I'll be watching our local Brunswick High Pirates take on Alatoona for the 5A title.
