I don't think they will over look Coach Kelsch, My only concern with him would be he has stated in the past that after this bunch of young girls leaves he was getting out he coached them when they started and wanted to finish with them. He has a family know and said he would like to spend more time at home with them as they get involved with activites of there own. And i see nothing wrong with that, just don't know if that is what the program needs that is my only concern.

You can look back at some of the other coaches in Bracken County Boys and Girls, there tenure wasn't very long seemed like they coached when there was talent then got out after a couple of years or coached on and off just seems like they coached when there was some talent. Coach Kelsch would not do this and would hate to have anybody think he would. Coach Kelsch im sure will be in the Mix, I believe that is where he would like to be.

I have spoke to Mr. Kelsch in the past and the only time he has mentioned leaving after this group of young girls is if he was still an assistant. If he gets the HC job I feel certain he would be their for as long as they wanted him.

That sounds more like Coach Kelsch, I wish him nothing but the best in what ever he chooses. I hope Coach Kelsch has a bright future as a head Coach no matter were he coaches. He is very well known around the basketball scene and alot of people like and support him. I hope for the sake of the program that they atleast give him a honest look.

I believe you are very familiar with the situation.

 

Based upon your comments about Coach Kelsch, are you CONFIRMING that Coach Schultz will not be the coach for Bracken County next season?

That's what I was getting at, earlier, when I was replying to the post by "jackman46." Is there any confirmation out there?!

They need to name PK and get it over with. Should've been done last time, IMO...

I stand corrected about the number of female HC 's at Bracken Co. Like I mentioned earlier I did not know that Millie Reule had coached, sorry for that!

 

As for what Bracken Co. should do w/the job: VERY SIMPLE, HIRE PATRICK T. KELSCH!

 

He has been heavily involved w/this program for several seasons. He has worked under two HC's (Wolfzorn & Schultz) at Bracken Co. and was an assistant at Augusta for one season and has also coached the JH girls at Bracken Co. Middle School for a few seasons! He has put the time in, knows the game, is very passionate, is a motivator and a communicator. I really think he would make an excellent HC if the job becomes available!

It is quite obvious that Coach Schultz never was truly given a chance to succeed. It seems to me that no matter what she did it was never going to be good enough. good luck to the next coach, HE will have a couple of great seasons, then we will see truly how well he can coach. Unreal!!!!!

Yes that is correct Coach Schultz did not have her contract renewed for next season. Principle and AD Mrs. Ray did not recomend her to continue Coaching. Coach Schultz has done nothing but give her heart and soul to the program in hopes of restoring it to a once very good girls program. It is a shame that she won't get that chance. All of the girls were notified this week of her departure. Alot of unhappy players about the whole situation. Regardless of what has been said Coach Schultz was very well Liked by her players and students in the School. It is a shame that she never got alot of support, over the last Three years, almost as if they expected her and wanted her to Fail JMO. Best of luck to whoever is the next head coach they will come in with a group that is very talented. Coach Kelsch should be the front runner for the job IMO.

I think Patrick Kelsch would be a good choice, but most coaches are going to treat any Bracken county job as a stepping stone, just like any other small rural school in the area. PK might not be thinking this way, but my point is that if he is, so what you are not going to find many more qualified people who are not going to leave when the getting is good.

Couldn't the same thing have been said about Coach Schultz?

Coach Schultz would have been at Bracken County for as long as they would have kept her she has very strong ties to the school and Community I really could not see her using them as a stepping stone. Coach Schultz is very passionate about Bracken. So i would say no you probably could not say the same thing about her.

It sounds to me like some are saying they got rid of Mrs.Shultz because she was a women. I'm trying to understand the reasoning behind that, because if anything Bracken County gave her a great opportunity considering she had no previous coaching experience that I'm aware of.

I am sorry, I was unclear about my post and that was my fault.

 

The poster was saying Coach kelsch wouldn't use Bracken as a steppingstone but rather be there for awhile.

 

I felt and you pointed out that Coach Schultz could have had the same thing said about her. This would have been a lifelong coaching job for her.

Coach Schultz Coached Middle school, Freshman at Toledo Whitmer High School, and Jv at Hilliard Davidson in Columbus Oh Before coming to Bracken County.
