Was there a meeting that took place this morning with a local coach?

IMHO this has little to nothing to do with parent PT complaints, if the Diocese is involved. I’ll just leave it at that.

Hearing the same.

I get my Code's confused, is Scott or Mike the former coach at Bissop Brossart?

Both of I am not mistaken.

Reads like the powers that be at Cooper and Conner are on the same page. 

Or is there someone in Conner administration that has a bone to pick with Sully?

Hearing it's down to N. Browning, J. Holthaus and a Conner assistant.

My understanding as well.

For clarity, what info involving Coach Sullivan is false and what is true?

He is interested and Conner is not.  Was told this morning that Conner admin had changed mind and was going to interview him.  That was not correct.  There are 3 serious candidates, all of which are currently in the system.

Change of heart for what?... Now wanting to reconsider interviewing Sullivan??  You must have some DEEEEP insider information if accurate.  I'll believe it when I see it.

Pretty deep.  Now being told the information regarding Sully was false and that choice may come down to 3 coaches that are already in the Boone County Schools district.

Well now hearing there may have been a change of heart by the Conner administration.  Guess we will know something in the not too distant future.

That’s not it. He was interested.

My understanding as well.  Conner admin chose to pass on Sullivan.

1.  Rondon from what I have been told is enrolled at Newport.

2.  Reed (Mason County) been home hunting in NKY area.

3.  Potential huge hire at Conner that impacts another local high school.

What have you been hearing? 

 Very well thought of coach, with good coaching record from a successful program in the area.

If what I am hearing is true, interviews will not be needed.

Any word on this job?  

Might Austin Neff be a name for this job?

Nothing snowballed. The game was played in a close range all night. I do agree on the starting lineup getting behind being an obstacle. The problem last night was no lineup was able to outplay Texas AM.

You let an inferior team believe and get off to a good start because of the 5 you start the game with.  Yes it snowballed.

The infamous starting lineup set the tone for the game and it snowballed from there.

So I got Gary Nolan, Don Gullett, Clay Carroll and Jack Billingham.  Anyone know who the guy in the background is?

Pat Zachary?

So how did a basketball game conversation become about football and track?  Highlands football is no longer relevant according to some, but yet always becomes part of the discussion.

I have heard the grumblings all year.  Biggest one was “daddy” ball.  Kevin did not start coaching to coach his son for one.  The few games I saw, didn’t see better options in the bench.  As for the football kids not playing for the reasons I was told, weak.

What's that got to do with how he prepared his team this year? Pretty less than respectable season this year. Where are the players at? Are the players opting not to play due to other sports or not wanting to play for him. Where is Benke, Class, Geisler for example. Great basketball players who have played in the past but not now.

This talk about NDA basketball is the same thing that I asked about Highlands earlier this year.  Funny thing is that Frank provided the same answer as is being claimed here.  Girls play multiple sports early and then turn focus on one.  Club soccer is without question the worst at feeding kid’s parents ego that the only way to a scholarship is through a focus on soccer when it really is all about the $$$$.

Is the Newport lineup healthy?

One bench player did not dress for district final.  Only dress 9.  

Guy drove his wheelchair on the court during game action.  Second technical was for hanging on rim.  Should have been called earlier in the game.
