Ryle job is a whole different beast than Pendleton County. If he gets the job he better be ready for an eye opening experience!

Outside of hearing who the other candidates are... Belcher is the best I’ve heard of for the job. He can turn it around.

 

I have to disagree. Belcher’s Pendleton squads missed the region 2 of the last 3 years and won just 1 game in the region tournament. No way he’s turning around this program when he won 0 region games with the best player in the 10th Region. And there isn’t a Dontaie Allen to save the team at Ryle.

This seems to be the case with most coaching job openings in Kentucky. Mostly local searching. Regardless of someone’s qualifications or coaching record.

1 player isn’t beating Campbell County, who is always stacked with players. Allen alone isn’t beating Scott which typically has a slew of players, and GRC has been rather talented lately.

 

At PC, outside of Allen, it would have been rare for PC to have one of the best 5 or 6 players on the court when playing those 3 teams.

My last comment on this job as it just confuses me more and more how the biggesf school in the 9th can’t do things right (also see SK in the 8th). From the outside it looks as though. :

 

1) they don’t care about basketball or athletics in general.

2) keep parents happy and you keep your job, once they get upset it’s time to move on.

3) they make questionable hires left and right. Scott showed when it hired Fromeyer, you don’t have to be in the building or a teacher for that matter to be an effective coach.

You keep saying “locally” in all of your posts... who is coming in from the outside that is so deserving of these jobs. Put a name on it? Otherwise, sounds like sour grapes or lack of knowledge.

Suddenly, you seem upset about this thread. Haven’t had that vibe to this point from your posts. Who was your selection?

They lost to Paris Allen’s junior year. And what’s going to be different at Ryle? The difference is that the parents at Ryle aren’t going to be as forgiving if/when they miss out on winning districts. David went to 3 region tournaments in the last 6 years and that still put him on the hot seat.

Not sour grapes and not lack of knowledge. Just be open to the possibility that their may be qualified coaches with experience and succes who may want the opportunity to coach in Kentucky.

Schools can obviously hire whomever they choose. Just making a point about the coaching opportunities in the state.

I have a couple people I would’ve liked to seen get it. I would’ve pursued Brannen at Walton, which I guess he wasn’t an option since he is “retired”. Snapp I saw mentioned on here would’ve been a great option. What about doing something different than the status quo. I have kids that will go to Ryle some day and it just would be nice to see a sign they’re changing.

Heard he just interviewed today. And already hired? Doubtful!

Heard they only interviewed two people. Belcher and Shumate. But that is just the rumormill.

 

Why on earth would they only interview two people? That sounds insane. Lazy or just a lack of concern?

Again, put a name on it.

 

Who applied or wanted to interview from outside NKY that would have been this great hire. I’m certainly open-minded, but based on the mystery of who you’re talking about, you don’t give us much room to believe any “outsiders” applied.

To get Brannen or Snapp, they would have to want the job. Pretty sure neither applied. There wasn’t much chatter on either.

 

I guess you know much more about Belcher than anyone else, because from what I’ve seen, he’s played a huge role in the development of Allen, and did a nice job with what he had around Allen at Pendleton.

More than 2 interviewed.
