GOREDDEVILS Posted May 13, 2021 Author Share Posted May 13, 2021 Shame, I thought Barrick done a pretty decent job at Russell. I wonder why he resigned? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DevilMayCare Posted May 14, 2021 Share Posted May 14, 2021 I didn't expect Barrick to stick around for 10-12 years, but I thought it would be more than two. Russell basketball hasn't had a long term coach in over 30 years. It's hard to build anything with that kind of coaching turnover. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GOREDDEVILS Posted May 14, 2021 Author Share Posted May 14, 2021 Tom Barrick’s replacement will be Russell’s fifth boys basketball coach in a span of eight seasons.That is not good, I would like to see some stability in the Russell Boys basketball program.

jtb12882 Posted May 14, 2021 Share Posted May 14, 2021 A load of young talent coming up - This will be a great opportunity for the new hire. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oldsoreknees Posted May 14, 2021 Share Posted May 14, 2021 There were two assistants last season with head coaching experience, Derek Cooksey and Brett Cooksey. Will one of them get the shot or is the thought Russell will go outside the program? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jtb12882 Posted May 14, 2021 Share Posted May 14, 2021 I have heard Derek Cooksey is leading candidate for the job. Brett is much more comfortable as an assistant to his brother, so he will not apply. Derek did a solid job at Fairview with not much talent. He Seems like the logical choice.

GOREDDEVILS Posted May 14, 2021 Author Share Posted May 14, 2021 I would be fine with Derek Cooksey or any Coach who would stay and build the program from the ground up like Mandy Layne has done with the Girls. I think there will be several coaches interested. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
