I believe the Johnson family reconnected with their roots.

Apparently Papa Johnson has a track record, dating back to being fired from his coaching position with the YMCA basketball program.

My name is Mark Johnson. My many years with the YMCA have been a long experience – one in which changed my life for the better. Here is a little bit about me and the YMCA.


First, The YMCA stands for Young Men's Christian Association. I knew that, but let’s just say that in my early years, I didn’t act or speak like a Christian. My first situation happened as my son was playing basketball. The Y had a rule that while competing, players had to guard the player with the same color wrist band. Call me crazy, but I knew at that age, my son would be better than Michael Jordan (just kidding, but many of us act like this) and proceeded to tell the ref how stupid of a rule it was. I ended up using a few words that were not Christian. I was asked to leave and was no longer able to coach.


Fast forward, no longer a coach, now I am a loud, disrespectful parent. Before I arrived at games, I had already made up my mind the referee was going to make stupid calls on my kid. I was asked to leave many times by Farha Sports Center Branch Director Catherine Seals – MANY times.

Sounds about right.

Glad we avoided that circus. Don’t need another one.

People believe Vols fans are bad, but mustard bottles and golf balls got nothin' on the Johnson family!

I feel sorry for Avery. He has to be embarrassed. He might want to have a Mahomes-style sit down with the Fam.

I'm really not sure that the Johnson's fighting is really any worse than Big Nic always having that same stupid arms crossed pose every time he showed up on camera.

That entire family was beginning to weigh on me even before Nico bailed
