Are we talking a job that you can win at or are we talking money? If we're talking wins then the jobs mentioned above definitely should be talked about. If we are talking money then it's a different ballgame. I know that Boyle County Ranks pretty high in the state as far as paying its coaches. I'm not talking a ton of money but the head basketball coach makes about an extra $9,000-11,000 a year to coach where in Louisville they make about $4,500 to 7,500. Most areas in the state pay close to the Louisville range.

I think Ballard is the top job.

 

Bowling Green, Hopkinsville, & Scott County would be my 2-4 group, but I'm not sure how I'd order them. Number 5 would be between Owensboro & Pleasure Ridge Park.

 

I probably look too much at schools being historical powers. I just know that when I think of Kentucky boys high school basketball, Ballard is the first team that comes to mind.

 

For my own region (the 10th), it is unquestionably Mason County.

I wish I could find what the private schools pay.

I think Cooper has had to have made its way on to this list in the last few years. Probably in the 16-22 range if you ask me

Simon Kenton is favored to win the 8th every year! Lol
