I understand your passion for this coach but if you look at the qualified coaches in Boone County, Garnett especially, they would be insane to go outside the county. It is different coaching in Boone County Schools than at Holmes High School. And besides, he is a Holmes guy through and through. He will replace Henley, sooner rather than later, and why leave to coach a school that will struggle for 2-3 years?

 

If he replaces him sooner than later it will be because Henley will step down or move to a better job. Maybe I'm wrong and I'm sorry if I am, but you seem to imply that he might be forced out of his job. To my knowledge Henley is very well liked by the present adminstration (i.e., Principal A.D., Superintendant) and I don't believe he will go anywhere any time soon. Tim is a very good coach and he will get his chance a head job again whether it is with Holmes or somewhere else remains to be seen. Question is if Henley wants to coach at Holmes say another 5 years is Tim willing to wait for that job that long.

Not implying that he will be forced out I like coach Henley a lot I just think he might move closer to his hometown if he is given the opportunity. With that in mind, the administration and parents really wanted Tim and Pouncey to have the job when Duran and them were Freshmen.

Henley had his chance last year to move back home and passed on it, the job is his and he has earned the right to keep it. Tim's varsity job is probably not at Holmes in the immediate future. He may not get the Cooper job, but for the school system to dismiss him because he is not a Boone Co. guy would be a mistake. I'm not saying Garnett should not get the job I like him as well, but if I was doing the hiring both of those guys would be on my list.

Henley was contacted by Graves Co. last year when Hatcher left but even though it would be nice for him to get back to West KY where he's from his wife had accepted a very nice teaching position at Walton-Verona and with that in mind it will be hard for him to ever leave NKY because he's not only got to consider his move but a potential job switch for his wife. P.S. I know that he is a true basketball junkie and loves the competition and level of play that the NKY area provides. There is no comparison bewtween NKY area and western KY where he's from.

I'd imagine so. And also the Tar Heels head coach when Jefferson, Hill, Rice etc. played.
