It's a good job but in a very tough district. 

Historically I would say Owensboro has been a top 5 program in Kentucky. Most Sweet 16 appearance's all time with 44. 2nd most victories in the Sweet 16 all time with 47. Third all time with thirteen Sweet 16 semi final appearances. Tied for third all time with three Mr. Basketball winners. Tied for second all time with Lville St. X, Lville Male, Lville Manual, and Ashland Blazer with 4 state titles(1949,1972,1980,& 2015). The right hire will have some young talent coming down the pipeline.

Time to take a break, a job well done.

I would expect the candidates to line up for this job.  Owensboro should be a premier job in Kentucky.  Reminds me of the football job.  With the right hire, the Devils should be a regional title contender nearly every season.  Will be a fun one to follow.

Hats off to Coach Drake!

Anybody hearing anything??

Jason Holland is the name I am hearing.

You heard he applied?!?! I don’t speak for all Red Devil fans but I wouldn’t be excited by that hire.

Coach Holland would be a homerun hire.  He has been a winner everywhere he has been.  He helped at Brescia University this past season in Owensboro.

He wears out his welcome pretty quick.

Why is this a bad hire? I don't know the guy but I'm not sure why he would be a bad or good hire. Enlighten us.....

I didn’t say it was a bad hire. It’s just not a hire that would excite me. Looks like he took Oldham Co. to back to back Sweet 16’s back in like 2013-2014. Then he bounced around to 3-4 programs before finally landing at Brescia. (Maybe having been let go at at least one of the high school programs along the way.) I think if he’s hired it’ll set off a collective “Who?” in the fan base. His name has been on nobodies wish list that I know.

Disagree with that statement. As Sweet16 said he wears his welcome out fairly quickly. Not a fan at all.
