I think Rex Cooksey has "coached" the best this season, and have been pursuaded to think that Johnson from Bath County is deserving.

 

This is my observation of the majority of coaches in the 16th. I think there are alot of coaches who could step in and coach many of the 16th region teams and have the same results or better. I think Ashland, Rose Hill, Russell, Elliott, and Rowan. Nothing against these schools, teams or coaches but I know each of these schools are successful and their coaches have each done a good job this year but I just dont think any of them should be coach of the year. If Biggs, Fraley, Mays or Daniels wins I can accept it, but I sure would shed a tear and be upset if Dodd wins it.

I'm not predicting this, but just wondering, what would be your opinion of Dodd if Russell were to be fortunate enough to be playing in Rupp on Saturday? Would he get your vote then?

Rex and Fraley for president and as far as players go. I have seen a lot of college basketball players this year but Jackson and Euton are the absolute real deal guys. They are going to programs contending for their prospective conf. championships!! Congrats to all of the vanhoose's and daniels' out there getting it done.

1. Mays

2. Cookesy

3. Dodd

4. Biggs

5. Fraley

A lot of credit should go to the coach at

Bath County. He has turned that situation around.

I am glad that you are not Nostradamus. Let the Region have a Co-Coach of the Year. Sad to say but it happened last year in the 16th Region girls. Coach Euton takes a team to the State Championship game and has to split coach of the year in the region. What a joke, Coach Euton should have been named the only Coach of the year last year in Region, so having said that, I think it is going to be a political vote again anyways with the Boys COY. Maybe its just a RH thing, lets see if Fraley wins the region, wins a game or two down state, then he would probably split coach of the year as well. My only prayer is that the people making the decisions doesnt base it on what they read but they take all elements into consideration. Having said all of that my choise is Bryan Lemaster, crap he cant even be considered...my bad

Could someone provide a link, if one exists, to a list of past COY's and POY's? thank you.

RickyP, I think Euton is second only to Vanhoose. So don't think I'm bashing Fraley. See my opinion on Dodd!!!

 

So, what everyone is saying is if your team wins Region, then that is your coach of the year? What a joke. The COY is determined by a measly 3 game season (with the significance of 1 District game included)? When did that become the standards of a "good coach" or even "coaching" in specific?

 

OK, I give! I will vote for whoever wins the Region to make everyone happy. I guess I will be pulling for Cooksey(Fairview) and Johnson(Bath) for 4 games!

Good Call Paul

I would venture to guess that Tim Fraley would gladly exchange any possible COY award for a district and/or regional title for his team this year. :thumb:

Yes He Would

Bubba's coach of the year...a toss up between Coach Fraley and Cooksey.

Fraley because he has to become a Pat Riley with his abundant of "Young Guns" (That would be a good nickname for the Royals-

"Young Guns"...Shooting to Win) sometimes Big Bubba amazes even himself.

 

Cooksey because he had only one starter returning and the rest had very little or no experience at all, no one can deny that Rex has done a great job with what he has.

 

I dont see Fraley as COY not because he is not deserving, but because he is Rose Hill, some are saying here we go again, but like I stated earlier in this post. I believe that Coach Euton had to share COY in 16th Regional girls last year, she should have won it hands down. State runner -up but in some peoples eyes that just wasnt good enough. COY is a joke as is POY. These two catergories should be voted upon based on several stats just not winning games and scoring. Who does more for their team than Alex Barker? I am not suggesting that he is POY. But who does more? If you remove One key player from every team in this region that team is still going to win its share of games, you remove Alex form Fairview this year and they cannot win without him. He is the unsung hero in this region. POY will be political and will probably go to VanHoose, he is good but Barker does more for his team than any other player. COY....I honestly dont think either one of my picks Cooksey or Fraley will win it, because once again it is political. I just want to make this clear about my pick for POY, I am not saying he is the best player in the region, there are several better than him, EUTON, JACKSON, VANHOOSE, FAULKNER, I am just saying he means the most to his team.

I believe the votes are in. Check your local paper for the next couple of days.

 

Dodd-COY

Vanhoose-POY

Funny how Russell wanted to get rid of him last year, going to state saved his job. Ashland must not think too highly of his coaching abilities, didnt interview him after he applied when Flynn left. But you are probaly correct on the way the votes went. Russell is slowly becoming the political force that Ashland used to be...maybe you guys should start your own newspaper as well...ha ha

what ttt mean?

You got everything else figured out don't you? I would think you would know that one as well.
