Kidwell out as Russell boys basketball coach - The Independent Online: Sports

WOW

First football now basketball......hmmmmmmmm.

I am not surprised. They have got rid of other coaches that had better records that he did. Any idea who will replace him?

Tackett

Randy Ward

Scott Humphrey?

Coach Kidwell ' s teams are always well prepared and play hard and with class. I wish him the best in whatever the future holds for him.

I will pay Russell , Harold Tackett `s coaches pay for a year , and a large tip to the A.D. If they will take him. I`m sure coach Kidwell will find another job soon. My op he`s a good coach.

Im sure there will be some qualified Assistants from the area looking to get their feet wet that will apply.

I agree.

 

 

Coach Kidwell will land on his feet somewhere.

My guess is that they will look for an established Head Coach who is a proven winner. But hey, I've certainly been wrong before when trying to use the Ol Jedi Mind Trick on the Russell camp. Lol :taz::idunno:

 

I have stayed off this board for some time now but this just makes me scratch my head. I thought given the connections Coach Kidwell had with certain administrators, that he would garner a much more favorable outcome that their previous coach, Steve Dodd.

 

Best of luck to Coach Kidwell!

Both won as many postseason games this spring, huh?

Good to hear from you duck it's been a long while.

Thank you sir. My back has not allowed me to attend games the last few years but I did make it to the Ashland/Fairview game this week. I probably won't be around much longer because I don't want to post about teams without watching them.
