Open Job: Nelson County

Posted on NCPS website

Was Troy L. Thomas the head coach? If so, wasn't he just hired this past season?

That is correct.

Any ideas as to why he left?

No clue....someone told me about opening and I verified it on NCPS website.

There seems to be some issues in the athletic program?

Well when their are parents on the bench with agendas that leads to problems. You are correct there seems to be issues with all the athletic programs there.

Not totally sure what's going on here. Working on digging something up.

OK, it is confirmed that Thomas is out after one season.

They were successful this season, right?

Heard a rumor that he might be heading East.

They were 19-14 according to KHSAA. Appeared to have played a very tough schedule. Pretty sure they had a D-1 player.

Solid but not spectacular record against a very difficult schedule for a team coming off a state tourney trip but losing 4 starters, even if the one returnee is a Miss Basketball candidate. Given all that and adjusting to the third coach in 7 months, it's pretty impressive that they had E'town on the ropes like they did in the region SFs before letting it get away in OT.

Hmmmm. What’s the going rate for sitting on a varsity bench?

Just to update, Coach Thomas' mother is in bad shape health-wise. He said in the KyStandard in Bardstown that he needed to move back that way to help care for her, as he's an only child.

This is what he told me as well. I didn't post it because I wasn't sure if he wanted people to know or not. Sounds like she's in pretty bad shape.
