Mack The Knife Posted July 10, 2008 Share Posted July 10, 2008 Word has it that Gallatin Co. Wildcat assistant Chris Nethery is returning to his alma mater to take over the reins. Can anyone confirm this? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coachi Posted July 10, 2008 Share Posted July 10, 2008 What happened to Coach Blackburn? didnt he have some health issues at the end of the year? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
theoldcoach Posted July 11, 2008 Share Posted July 11, 2008 I believe Coach Blackburn decided to pursue a job at another school. Coach Nethery will start the process of rebuilding his old school. Nethery has good basketball knowledge. If they give him time, he will do well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WarriorMom Posted July 11, 2008 Share Posted July 11, 2008 It is true!!! He is returning. Good Luck Chris can't wait for the season!!!!!!!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gchs_uk9 Posted July 11, 2008 Share Posted July 11, 2008 Eminence always seems to struggle in basketball, but annually fields pretty good small-school football teams. Why is that? I'm not saying the Warriors should win the 8th region, but why do they struggle to compete in the All "A"? I know it's a numbers issue, but if you can get 8 to 11 for football, why not 5 for basketball? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mack The Knife Posted July 11, 2008 Author Share Posted July 11, 2008 Since Coach Nethery arrived at Gallatin he has been in a winning environment. Hopefully he can instill a winning attitude into the Warrior program. His next order of business is to make sure the Shasta supply never runs dry!

Mr. Athletics Posted July 12, 2008 Share Posted July 12, 2008 Congrats to Chris. Any word on why Keith is no longer the coach? He did a great job considering his talent. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dharlow Posted October 18, 2008 Share Posted October 18, 2008 Coach Blackburn left Eminence because of a conflict with the principal, who is also the head Football coach. This in itself is a conflict of interest. The basketball program has to work around the football program, which is the main priority . Good luck to Chris Netherly because he is going to need it to deal with the administration! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ColonelMike Posted October 23, 2008 Share Posted October 23, 2008 That's a shame (the conflict), because both men are quality individuals... when I began broadcasting 8th Region games in the 70s, Eminence was one of the powers. Anyone remember the Sleets brothers, Vance Blades, Gino Kirshner (sp?), and others? The classic double OT loss to Oldham County in the 8th Region SF in 1977 was one of the best basketball games I've ever witnessed in 30 years of covering KY HS basketball...
