Any news on this job? I have heard many people have applied.

 

I have heard quite a few people.. Spoke with someone who works in the same office as Mr. Phil Rison, they said they heard the Names of Bart Flener, Willie Feldhouse, Jason Holland, person said there were some other names but those were some names they kept hearing. in no particular order But who knows.

So i did a brief search on them through Google also Khsaa site

Willie Feldhause --- Russel County 2012-13 season 26-6

Jason Holland --- Oldham County 2012-13 season 25-8

Bart Flener --- Asbury University 2012-13 season 23-10

 

If we just based things on Records of 2013 you could go with Coach Feldhaus, However College Coaches are more attractive to any high schools and the connections they have. Im sure if it was these 3 it be a tough choice. If i was AD or whomever is picking, and seen what Happy done as a past / Current College Coach, I would go with the College Coach again. They are more experienced, and coach a college style. This enables Kids to understand the college game to help them play at the next level. Someone Said his son can play to He will be a freshman. Looking on his the University website his History coaching at Lex Cath, is a big name school in high school so He would def be able to handle a MoCo type school. Again these are the name that the person said and my thoughts on those.. Im sure all those coaches mentioned would be good as well.

Didn't handle the Lexington Catholic well at all. Was let go after one year. Is a great guy. Lots of things went on at Catholic that year. Think he coaches college girls so really not relevant in this case.

According to his History, 53-12 at Catholic 2 years is Pretty Good, first year 11th region runner up, and 2nd year made the final game of region with Record of 29-4 at Catholic.. Pretty Good, So very qualified to Coach boys not sure the case at Catholic but if you dont win state at catholic they look for other coaches.. however, Coached a Glasgow says 137-65 with a KY All A Championship. and Had a Mr. Basketball Brandon Stockton, Coached at west Jessamine boys 41-19 in 2 years.. Was also Assistant Mens Coach at Asbury University..

Good Coaches Can coach either boys and or Girls. I was also reading on the site his Girls team at Asbury was averaging over 100 points a game.. If he can do that for Girls getting them to play fast, then Boys would be a just as easy. Plus I hear MoCo fans like Fast pace games. I also hear if they dont get the right Coach in there some players will be looking to "Transfer"..

Wonder why he is wanting out at Asbury.

Good insight my thoughts and stats. Just would go with feldhaus or Holland. Both proven winners as well but as you said none are bad choices. Think Flenner is returning to coach his son and that's it. Only one of the three to win a region is Holland and a state semi finalist as well. Feldhaus has 3 straight 20 win seasons. Holland has 81 wins in three years per Khsaa. Montgomery needs someone that wants to stay. Live in mt. sterling. Raise their family and love on the community in my opinion.

That would be the Million dollar question. Is he wanting out or did they contact him.. I see that Terence Brooks is a Paris and they contacted him when he was at Berea..

You have some points as well. I would think if any of them would have the opportunity to Coach there they would move I would say they would stay and do what they have to, to be apart of the community. All of them are teachers, and would need to stay X amount of years in a school system to Retire.

I heard Willie Feldhaus' name around town a couple of times tonight. I do know he did his student teaching at Montgomery Co and the people of Mt. Sterling liked him while he was at MCHS then.

Seems like he's wanting to get out of Russell County bad. I remember when he applied for the Estill County job back when it was open before they hired Jon Bentley

Great coach, from a good bball family. I still think Jason Hinson would be a great candidate. He was 10th region coach of the year this season, correct?

All 3 of the names mentioned sound like great candidates. I saw some of Flener's teams play and he wasn't let go because of his coaching ability. He does a great job and has done so at several different places. Should be an interesting hire.

I also had a chance to see Flener's Teams in action, very intense high pace. Very exciting for High School basketball. Looking on the Site he has compiled over 330+ wins in College and High school combined.. From the comments other's have said about him he is great with kids and very social and very involved in the community. This would be a Great Candidate for MOCO.

Twitter chatter is that Montgomery is down to three candidates, two of whom currently hold head coaching positions: one in the 8th Region & the other the 16th Region.

Word I get is that a search committee was just formed Sunday. Pretty quick movement if they've already got it down to 2-3 guys imo.
