Jason Couch was selected from about 50 applicants to be the new basketball coach at Shelby Co.

 

He comes after nine years at Eastern High School with a 200-86 record.

 

Couch was thrilled to accept the job to lead the Rockets, which he called "the most decorated team in the 8th Region. Shelby has produced so many great athletes. I consider this a great opportunity."

Great hire. Shelby will be back in the regional tournament this year.

With couch at Shelby, he very well may be able to keep some of the talent that leaves the county for Louisville schools. I know he was one of the beneficiaries at eastern.

Reading between the lines, it seems almost as if Couch felt like he wasn't getting the support he needed at Eastern.

Nice job of reading. Football coach resigned after a 10-3 season. Seems like a bunch of coaches have left there recently.

Not even if John Wooden was coaching. Shelby has a good group of freshmen, not great, but good. Middle school feeder is awful on all 3 levels. All of the kids at Shelby East go to Shelby, Shelby West goes to Collins. There is no transfer or any of that allowed to go on, if it was it would of already happened. Tough job until they re-draw boundary lines. Year in and year our Anderson and Collins will come out, and Spencer occasionally will have a good team.

I disagree. They should have gone to the region this year. There is still decent talent at Shelby. They were the worst coached team in the region this year. Half hearted defense, no offensive sets, no leadership. I would bet a hot fudge sundae that Shelby is district runner up this season. I agree with your assessment of the talent distribution. Collins is loaded. Shelby will have talent equal to Anderson and superior to Spencer.
