This story reminds me of a guy I went to high school with. Long after we graduated and in our mid twenties my good friend arrested him for having a fake ID to make him look like he was 17 so he could go to the under 18 club nights..
It's his first year as AD. Calling him terrible is harsh. I'm sure there is a learning curve but he has been a good leader in an a lot more important role than a high school in the past. So I'm confident he will catch on.
I heard the same thing. I also heard some of the things he has said to kids in the past.. If it is true I'm surprised he lasted this long. However I will say my interactions with him have always been good. And I know he does care for his players a lot.
Unfortunately they came up short however he still had 15 Pts in the effort. The cool thing is Canada gives 5 years eligibility so he has 3 more years.. I have to admit it was funny hearing the Canadian announcers try to say Barbourville last night.
Not all high school coaches are good at gauging talent either or are not great at the recruiting process. Camps do you give you a idea at where you match up. But if you really want to go blow a college coach away.. Do something crazy like get a 28 on the ACT.
College ball is a very hard adjustment for kids.. Daily meetings at 5am, then weights then class, then actual practice. It's a grind.. That's why D3 schools will sign 40 kids then maybe 10 will be on the roster as a senior.
