wrn1979 Posted September 10, 2022 Share Posted September 10, 2022 Reported in West Kentucky Star News last night. Is it just me, or is this an odd time of year to retire as a basketball coach? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DragonFire Posted September 10, 2022 Share Posted September 10, 2022 It's a very bad time of year to retire, because it would be hard to acquire someone from outside the school system. When this type of thing happens I find myself wondering if the coach did it because he has an assistant he wants to get the job. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Despite the fact that I misspelled his name in the title, I knew Coach Birdsong in HS. I have always felt he was a pretty standup guy. I could definitely see that being one of his goals.

I am technologically challenged and couldn’t find a way to edit the thread title after I did it. Morbidly obese fingers and a phone keypad do not mesh well sometimes. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr. Neutral Posted September 13, 2022 Share Posted September 13, 2022 (edited) I have felt for the last couple years his heart hasn't been in it. It looked like he was burnt out. Hope he enjoys his retirement. Edited September 13, 2022 by theguru Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LethalPG Posted September 13, 2022 Share Posted September 13, 2022 Is Marshall Co. still a big time job? I know they have the hoopfest, but as far as talent? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Second guy Posted September 13, 2022 Share Posted September 13, 2022 It is still big, maybe not much as during there earlier years, but they contend most years for a regional final spot or close. The talent just isn't plentiful like yrs passed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jacksonpurchase Posted September 14, 2022 Share Posted September 14, 2022 Marshall County was a premier job but falling on hard times of late. McCracken has taken the top spot in the First Region and has kept Marshall from winning a regional twice. Timing of retirement makes the list of possible names for this job very small.

jacksonpurchase Posted September 25, 2022 Share Posted September 25, 2022 Marshall, Graves and McCracken all have new coaches for upcoming season. Should be interesting to see if where each of these programs are headed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joe Tracy Posted October 9, 2022 Share Posted October 9, 2022 Besides McCracken. Graves, Marshall there's Murray and Paducah Tilghman in the 1st region mix. PT has refurbished their gym and I was told it looked great. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
