  1. Much respect to coach Mabrey. Yes it is a premier job, so let’s see if they do a real search or only look at local coaches.
  2. Gulf, outstanding post. The good ole boy network is not just limited to Woodford County. It seems to be the trend in Kentucky. Let’s see how the rest of the hires play out. Wishing all the new coaches the best.
  3. To mooremiller and behind the line. I am not just referring to the Woodford job. If you look at the hires for boys basketball in the last 3 years inKentucky it is overwhelmingly local coaches only. That is not feeling .That is a fact. Yes,schools can hire who ever they choose. With that being said, I know for a fact that there a few outstanding candidate with sterling resumes who would like the opportunity to coach in the state of Kentucky, but because they are not from the area or they don’t “know” someone on the inside, they don’t even get the opportunity to interview. Again, schools can hire whomever they choose. Just suggesting that A D’s might want to broaden their scope in their search. Especially if they want a program that will compete consistently at the state level.
  4. Now let’s see if they really do a true search or just look locally. We shall see.
  5. Last 10 years 171-139. Not exactly off the charts.. Woodford , with a coach who knows how to build a program could be very good.
  6. What was his head coaching record at the high school level before this hire?
  7. It depends on what people define as “talent”. Most people think talent means good athletes. That definitely helps, but you must also develop kids who have great basketball skills. It starts with making the most of what you have and developing your program from the ground up (elementary and middle school). Also, the other factors discussed here previously. Great thread and discussion.
  8. Why not Kelly Wells? He is one of the few who has actually proven himself at the high school and small college level.He is an outstanding coach. A lot of folks do not realize that most D 1 coaches go the grad assistant route. Just because they played the game or can recruit does not mean they can teach the game or be a good coach.
  9. I know there has been interest from very qualified successful coaches from outside the local area. We shall see if they pursue those coaches. You are right.very good opportunity.
  10. The job has drawn interest. The question is are they only looking at certain people or really opening up the search?
  11. Schools can obviously hire whomever they choose. Just making a point about the coaching opportunities in the state.
  12. Not sour grapes and not lack of knowledge. Just be open to the possibility that their may be qualified coaches with experience and succes who may want the opportunity to coach in Kentucky.
