I happen to know for a FACT that Russell has not even held interviews for their boys Head Coach position. Your "news" is inaccurate.

 

Based on what Grover has said if it's "in house" they wouldn't have to conduct interviews , all of the people Maddy has named are in house ?? Maddy also said two weeks ago that Fraley was going to be the new coach at Greenup Co. and was accurate on that one ?? Go figure ??

Maddy is wrong. I know of at least 2 applicants who are not "in house."

An "in house" person would not have to interview for a teaching position they would transfer to, but they would have to interview for a coaching position.

I'm pretty sure they are not required to interview all applicants.

Not saying they will interview all applicants, but I have it on pretty good authority that there will be interviews held next week. The original intent of my post was to let everyone know that Russell has not hired a coach yet. It is my hope that Merle gets the job, but let's not get the cart before the horse.

Well ,I do know that there are times that interviews were held but the name of the "chosen one" Was out far in advance of them being held. I believe Grover can confirm this. It doesn't matter to me , but Merle does deserve a shot.

I have NO knowledge if Merle is the "chosen one" or not. However, you are quite correct that many times there is a "chosen one" and interviews are held just for show. That very well could be the case right now. If I ever do get knowledge, I'll pass it along.

I've heard that 2 players off the girls team may be leaving to go to ashland. Wow Ashland is already loaded for next year and this would really put them over the top.

It will take more than those two players to replace what Ward meant and did for the Kittens.

Most of the time when players leave because of differences between them and a coach, the REAL problem goes with them. I doubt that it would be the choice of the girls alone to transfer. The last two players that left did so of their own accord. One was a D1 player that ended up not playing at all. The cream will come to the top !

I agree that it will take alot to replace Ward but i also think that with 4 starters back and 2 6ft. post playes coming back that any new players will only help the cause.

Ward did mean alot to the kittens last year but I don't think she is irreplacable. Ashland will have 4 returning starters and 2 players over 6ft tall and one with tremendous upside to her. I think if the 2 Russell players do transfer to the Tomcats that it will give them exactly what the rest of the region doesn't want them to get- great depth.

You are correct, and it depends on what two players you are talking about as well.

Russell has some good players returning and they really can't stand to lose any of them. Hopefully they will all return and just maybe they can get two or three other good players to join them this season. There are some good girls in the school that would help the team if they do come out.:thumb:
