What happened with Coach Wright at North Hardin?

Rumor is he's headed to Bullitt East

Rumors swirling in hoptown that Haworth is trying to get an assistant coaching job in the ovc.

Any rumors on why Mercer Coach Resigned?

Money issues. He didn't resign voluntarily.

Not sure what Hickory means by "money issues." Reading the article in the Danville paper, it seems pretty clear what happened. Quotes from the local article about the situation:

 

 

 

Britt said he met last week with Guerra and Mercer principal Malissa Hutchins.

 

“Basically going through the evaluation, going through what we’ve done over the past four years since I took the position,”

 

His resignation followed a meeting with school administrators last week, though he did not say he was asked to resign.

 

“So there’s not mixed stories, I think that’s something that should come from the administration,” Britt said Tuesday.

 

Mercer went 11-12 this season, but the Titans were 59-57 over Britt’s four seasons, and he said their resume stacks up well against teams such as Boyle County and Lincoln County that he said are often discussed as being the top teams in the area.

 

“Trying to put things in perspective for me, I felt like we’ve done just as good as other teams that would be considered top teams in our area,” he said.

Over spent and parent issues...

Over spent and parent issues...

 

I don't think it is fair to say this was over parent issues. I think it is more of spending money to take the basketball team to the bahamas and not having it paid for along with not winning games. Britt is not a bad guy but those two things are a bad combination

Correct...also, they were parent issues. Can't say those issues but there were some there. As you said...bad combination.

FILLED -

North Hardins coach was Mike Cofer. He was interm coach for a year after Bevars retired. So he went in this season knowing that the position was going to be posted after the season ended.

Out of curiosity, who all has applied for the Bracken County job? Does anyone have a list?

Would like to know this myself.

Anyone know the story at Bryan Station? I thought Michael Allen did a good job.

I'll back hickory up on this one. I live in Mercer county and the parent situation here is awful. Most of the time it's flat out embarrassing. Correct me if I'm wrong, but Mercer hasn't had a coach stay longer than 4 years in a long time...I played for Frank Wright and parents ran him off after 4 seasons, Brian Pendegraft only 2 seasons after him, then Stacy Hall for 3 seasons, Greg Edwards for (i'm not 100% sure how long), Nelson Cundiff for 3 seasons, and now Britt for 4 seasons. How can a program build any consistency with that level of coaching turnover?

 

Parents played a role in all of these coaches "resigning". Why would anyone want to coach in a situation like this? Please understand that statement actually saddens me because that's where I went to school, but the fact is, in order to coach in Harrodsburg you have to know up front that its a constant uphill battle with parents.
