I know that it was offered to Joey Thacker this morning. Not sure if he is going to take it. But I think he is one of the best young coaches around. If he returns home I think he can get it done.

This would be the best thing that East Ridge could do...If Thack was to come back I think he would do an excellent job...I would love to see him come back and not only take over the basketball job but the baseball job as well....One thing about Coach Thacker is that when he says something you do it or you won't play at all...These kids need a lot of disipline and he is the man to do that...He is one of the best coaches I have ever seen....He won 4 district baseball titles in a row with a bunch of guys that wasnt very talented...but like I said his players do what he says....Hopefully we will see Thack pacing the sidlines and the baselines at ER this season :thumb:

Background on Thacker please...........

Was at Elkhorn City through the mid to late 90's. Coached baseball and assisted basketball. Won four straight district baseball titles and a Region as well, this all being with a group that wasn't as talented as others around the region, he just made it happen. Left Elkhorn City for Frankfort, and then from Frankfort to Franklin County in which he coaches(d) Girls Basketball and is very beloved from the parents, players, and whole community. East Ridge would be making a steal if they could bring Thacker back home.
