They have already posted and interviewed, then turned down all the others and then Coach Hampton changes his mind. Where does this leave them?

Can you call one of the others back and ask them to take job after turning them down?

This might go down as the fastest turn around in history ---He was in at noon , out at 2-3 pm . WOW !

I think the term "ten foot pole" might be needed in the filling of this coaching position.

Yep. What in their right mind??????

Who did they interview for the position?

Why wouldn't Greenup County interview Coach Troy Thomas from Rowan County. He coached at Fleming County I believe 4 years and went to the state tournament in 1998 and 1999. Fleming County also went to the Final 4 in 1998 in the state tournament. I believe he coached at MSU from 2001-2004 as an administrative assistant and MSU was Co-Conference Champions in 2003 and led the country in field goal percentage in 2003 and led country in free throw percentage in 2002. I think they need to find someone who is experience and give it a new cleaning. I've always enjoyed 16th region ball and I go back in the days when Wetherby Gymnasium (MSU) was the hottest place to be to see great basketball. I think there are several coaches that could do the job. I just don't know if Coach Thomas would want to go to Greenup or not. I know he has a great program with the girls in Rowan County. Who would Greenup consider to get the job done?

No leadership at the school.

Hicks won't go away, going to sue everyone.

Someone needs to step up and make a stand and quit running scared.

I don't believe he showed any interest, do not know if they contacted him or if any contact was made, I heard they are going to offer to someone who interviewed who had ties to KCU (don't know name).

School leadership not to blame here.

Some in the community had to get their way and in the process lost the best candidate (Hampton).

GC will once again have trouble returning to the region's elite.

Kudos to Hampton for making the right decision for his family and his career.

Understand, it seems Hampton would have been a nice hire.

Bottom line, they have allowed this Hicks issue to become far too big. Make a stand, don't buckle from the pressure.

If you truly believe you have done the right thing as an administration, then you are straightforward and have a vision of what your program should be, and stick to it.

No reason to be sidetracked by the maniacal actions of their former coach.

True, True, True

:thumb: :ylsuper: :fight: I bet Greenup wished they would have checked out Owlsey's administration's thoughts on Mr. Hicks before they hired him. Would have saved everyone a lot of headache's. But no since living in the past. Like they say (If if's and but's were candy and nuts we would all have a merry Christmas). It is time to move on, no matter how many fake injunctions or lawsuits he wants to file.

Does Ashland paper have anything on this in today's edition?

Can someone post a link if it does?

Gotta disagree on this one. The GCHS administration is just as responsibe for this fiasco as Hicks is.
