Is this the kind of talent to compete for a regional title? What age level are the players with the talent? Could they put an offer on the table to attract a big name coach like Coach Wright?

Wishful thinking ... not going to happen Bubba.:thumb:

I was asking if they could put together a package that would attract a big name like Steve Wright. I do not think Coach Wright would be interested, but I was wondering if the support/resources were in place to attract similar applicants.

Absoultely. The freshman class is very strong. Good size, long and athletic. The 7th grade class is really something special. I think they finished their regular season undefeated with their only lose coming in the round of 16 at the state tournament where I was told they did not play up to thier potential. This coming from the coach that handed them the lose. They have a very good youth program that is developing some very good players and some really good teams. Expect WV to be on very solid ground and a strong contender in the 8th region for many years to come.

No problem, sounds like Walton is commited to finding a good leader for the basketball program. No one can blame them for asking Coach Wright if he would be interested. Simply out of respect for him as a Coach and person. I am sure they halfway knew he would not be interested, but you have to ask and see for sure. Best of luck to the BearCats

Sounds like this pool is going to be deep. Meaning, with the talent coming up they will be a lot of interest.

No offers thus far. Trame is your prime candidate. I'm sure there will be others contacting the school to apply. Expect a decision after the state tournament would be my guess.

 

I know for an absolute fact that Dan Trame was offered the job. No decision yet if he wants it or not.

Ms. Trame, please extend our best wishes and congrats to your husband.http://www.bluegrasspreps.com/ubb/lol.gif

Trame would be a good choice. Maybe when they brought him in with Miller, they had him in mind for the position.

Congrats to Coach Bennett, he will do a good job as AD. Big shoes to fill Nancy Ryan is a true class act, and very good at whatever she does. She will be missed. About the fans, they don't like anything or anybody except their own kids, poor sportsmanship. I hope a new coach will help them (if there is any hope) very very bad fans.

Rule 13

With kids being so good at a young age they have to cnotinue to get better or else all the success they had is washed away. Seen it to many times. Would not matter who the caoch. This could be the longest thread in BGP history.

I've always been a fan of Dan Trame, if he would have came to SK two years earlier he probably would have two regional titles on his resume.

Wow!

Southern Kentucky Hoops had a different prespective about the Bearcats in a post on 2-8-2009. Doesn't sound like he shares your opinion about the Bearcat faithful.
