Has there ever been another place where a dad AAU coach threatens to move all of his players to another school unless they made him the head coach? It appears that this coach was not happy with the veteran coach and made this power play and won. He won this year so I guess they made the right call for the time being?

Let 'em move. Not as many will go with him as he thinks.

Yep. I can think of a situation right now that happened back in 2012. 

Do tell?

Where is this and what school?

Yeah, I'm gonna need the details on this one.....LOL

It sounds like Mr. Grant is referring to the 2nd Region champions - Lyon County.  Travis Perry is scoring 27 per game for them this year, and his dad is the coach.  His dad has been the coach for three years, and took over for a coach named Jeff Embery.  I think his dad is maybe a physician in the Lyon County area?

This is just stuff that I am seeing on Riherds.  I don't have any first-hand knowledge on how Coach Perry took over for the previous coach.

But when I was on Riherds I noticed how many points a game Lyon is putting up.  Crazy!  Quite a contrast from the 35-28 1st Region final.  Surely they are the highest scoring team in Kentucky.  Or at least Top 3.

Yep! Embry was one of the most respected coaches in Western Kentucky and Lyon caved in and let him go.
