Fairview Boys basketball coach, Rex Cooksey, has resigned as head coach. He has stated it was for personal reasons. I am saddened by this news but also hoping everything is ok for him and his family.

I heard that news yesterday. I have known Rex a long time and I will miss him courtside. Do you think his son Derrick with get the job?

Fairview has a very nice team returning. Would be a good time for Derrick to step in.

Wow.

Personal reasons, hmmmm.

Are you alluding to something that is not on the up and up JS?

I hate hearing this. Hope everything is okay for Rex and his family.

 

Rex Cooksey always was a good, caring, honest, and fair coach.

He has been nothing but a nice and decent man who has coached with class. I am glad to call him a friend.

That is the rumor I have been hearing.

He did a great job year in and year out.........................And always with class!

I had the opportunity to play for Coach Cooksey on his first team at Fairview.

He always was a positive coach and believed in everyone of his players. I have always looked up to him and really hate to see this happen.

I have watched his son Derek coach the JV team the past couple of years and his players have a lot of respect for him. I think he has the ability to be a very good basketball coach in the years to come.

I'm kinda surprised......He commented to me a couple months ago that he planned to coach this year before calling it quits.......

Coach Rex Cooksey will be missed; but I do have high hopes for Derek, and even Brett, once he graduates. If there's any silver lining, what-so-ever in this accouncement; it's that Fairview's team is solid.. Derek, or whoever takes the reigns won't have a lot of untapped talent to worry about..

Best Wishes to the Little School that produces Great Athletes!

I wonder what interest alum Jeff Davis would have in this job? He does a great job with the DSAS 16's and the Simon Kenton JV team.

I have heard Jeff make the comment that when it came time for Coach Cooksey to resign that he would have no interest in the job.
