He was only at Mason County for 1 year, spent a few years at Holmes.

He was only there for 1 year?   Seems like it was a bit longer than that.  I figured around 3.

What years at Holmes? Was he an assistant during their big runs?

Yes, he was there during the big runs.

The 2004/05 season, was at St. Pat 2005/06 as HC, then to Holmes.

I believe Sullivan was the first call and told them no thanks.

That was a heck of a staff.

Yes, the staff plus squad equaled a state championship.

Should have returned to Rupp in 10, but lost to Newport in a big upset in regional final.

Correct.

I know Sam Elsbernd was mentioned earlier in the thread as an applicant, with all this talk of the late 2000's Holmes teams think it is worth mentioning he was on that staff too. He has bounced around the 10th region with stops at Scott, Bracken County, Pendleton County and Bishop Brossart within the last 10 years or so. He has been the coach at Holmes, for the past two seasons and punched above their weight class considering a myriad of factors. Of the applicants Hinson, and Elsbernd make the most sense of the ones that have applied. I will be interested to see what comes of this job, in the coming days/weeks.

Elsbernd is not leaving Holmes on his own, why would he when it would be no more than a lateral move at best.  He has softened the schedule to at least make Holmes look somewhat competitive.

Hinson had left Augusta before only to return.  I'm guessing he has a lifetime job there, he won't at Mason County.

Those are all fair points on both Elsbernd and Hinson, I am just going of an earlier post where both names were listed as applicants. Also, a name I skipped over but shouldn't have was Freddie McCoy, stellar playing career at Pike Central. He has currently been on staff at Great Crossing, for the last handful of seasons. The championship pedigree definitely puts him in the mix.

Yeah, I know what you're saying about the list of applicants and I'll stop at this point.

Mason and Bracken are both known to make late hires with their basketball coaches. Please correct me if wrong(because probably am,lol) but it seems like Kirk at Maco and King at BC were both late summer hires when they were made.
