My guess is yes there will be more. I’d say around a handful.

Was thinking the same. 42–>536–> 17 isn’t exactly dirt roads.

Officials don’t train all offseason, test, buy necessary gear, watch film and study the rule book to enforce uniform police penalties all game.

There is plenty of data about mouthpieces reducing concussions. There is not much data (that I can find) about knee pads preventing knee injuries.

What should they do to fix things?

It’s illegal to do so, but the current trend is one mouthpiece in and a different one hanging down.

I forget this game is serious business and these kids are business men.

I saw the 4th and 77 on Twitter. How!?!?

1999

You can’t combine two independent school districts. If either were to close, the students would then become part of the Campbell County School District.

I could listen to Keith Morgan read the phonebook. His stories and wisdom are unmatched.

Newport is not an easy place to coach. Add on to that, stadium issues, admin issues, and all the other stuff? It's not an easy job.

Does he have another job?

Coach Hahn was a really good coach, and handled a difficult team extremely well. Definitely odd.

I agree with this take. I think Sam fit the bill in what the program and the school district needed at this time. This is shown by the majority of the reaction from Holmes graduates on social media. If he can get his teams to play hard like he did at Pendleton and with the Bracken girls, which I suspect he will, the people in Covington and Holmes alumni will start returning to Evans Fieldhouse.

If my source is correct, I think the city of Covington should be very excited about the future of Bulldog Basketball!

Holmes played in three straight final fours from 2007-2009. No school has done it since. I am not sure when it happened last before then, but I would think it is not something you have seen very often over the course of the state tournament.

Who are the actual candidates that are being interviewed?

It was going to be tough for the next guy to do this job under the best of circumstances simply because following a legend is very tough. With what I just said and what else is going on, good luck to the next guy.

Deion throws up another 4-8/5-7 this year and no one has to worry about that.

There's an alum with Head Coaching experience, teaching creds and a passion for the school. The first call if I'm the AD needs to be Sam Elsbernd. He's battle tested and earned this chance, and would do great!

The bottom line is the lines have to be drawn somewhere. I know we have a lot of 8th, 9th, and 10th region traditionalist out there. Sometimes this stuff happens, but the 9th region isn't going to have 24-25 teams in it.

Is this because of when the game is being played (Thursday night, last game, during UK game) or because of wanting them in the same region?

That won't ever happen for two reasons: Girls state tourney starts tomorrow Have to keep the cash cow away from the SEC Tourney dates. That is the reason for the W-TH-M-TU format for boys games (in most regions).

When is the last time these two schools have made the state tournament?
