Trinity

Ballard

Eastern (down right now but still better)

St X

Waggener

If it was a great job they would not have that much turnover and coaches and would be beating down the door for this job not running away from it

Only one I have seen mentioned I left out was lexington catholic

 

And the 25 listed doesn't mean all better than the Berg .

 

A lot of the jobs you all listed like waggener for example that job sucked till the coach have now got there. As I stated some jobs are based on coach. Bringing kids in

 

The Berg had constant local talent regardless who there we have been winning big since 1990 between Muhlenberg and former north most dominant program in 3rd over last 25 years

I ask because I do not know, but who was the last Division 1 scholarship basketball player to come out of The Berg? Or the last 3? If I am a smart coach, I know that talent wins games, not coaching. I want to coach where there is consistent talent pool.

When was that and where did he go? I don't follow the 3rd region much, but I did not recognize the name. Who was before him? Any other in the last 10 years?

Just 3-4-5 years ago, he moved to the Berg from Texas , Warford family. Ended up at Peay think somewhere before.

 

Patrick Sparks last local I believe.

My friend mongoosedeathstar says you are using the words job, program, and team to mean the same thing and they aren't. He aslo says top 25 jobs haven't lost multiple coaches and won 1 region in 8 years.

You just named 25 without even naming some in some regions.

 

 

Truth.

I'm on vacation but this makes me smile

So the only 2 players talented enough to become D1 scholarship basketball players in the last 15 years were each there because a family member was the head coach. Freeman only played the 2010-2011 season because his uncle was the Head Coach and Sparks who played almost 17 years ago was there because his Dad was the Head Coach. Unless this new Head Coach has some great young basketball players in the pipeline of his family, he should not expect high level talent working through that locker room door.

 

That is not a knock on the kids who have played there or will be playing there, but the fact is there does not seem to be a pipeline of elite talent like there has been in Owensboro for instance. I am sure it has some great attributes as a program, but for me to be a Top 25 program you better have elite talent walking through the door to compete for State titles. Talent is what every coach dreams of having.

Its not about what school produces the most division one players.

 

You have to look at the district your in and the path to get to the region. School population, basketball community or not? School population in relation to others in your district.

 

Regional foes?

 

Budget at school, money at school, coaches pay, facilities, complete control of program all way down. WIth that said The Berg is easily a top 25 job and it not close.

The one criteria you are eliminating as you consider a Top 25 program in the State is cutting down the nets at Rupp. For many coaches that is the ultimate dream and picking a program that will be high on the list. I said before, beauty is in the eye of the beholder and if you bar is set at winning a regional once in a great while, then the Berg makes your Top 25. For many that is "settling".
