I think its returning to its appropriate location. Of all the bonehead decisions that Montgomery County is making in their program, the AD might just make another and vote to send the tournament back to the Fieldhouse in the 40th district rotation. I am only kidding, I don't think anyone would be that stupid.

I agree with greener pastures, loyalty anymore gets you no where. Its unfortunate, Coach Lathem has been in the GRC program for many years and was one of the finalist for this job, but in the end politics win and all the years that Lathem put in as an assistant gets him no where with the Lady Cardinals. Most assistant coaches stay in in hopes of getting their chance to lead a program and work their way up through the ranks such as Lathem in the middle school and at all levels of the high school. This unfortunately didn't happen to a good guy who was for the kids in Scott Lathem. Thumbs down to GRC and all that was involved in hiring a coach.

This would be a great job for Augusta's Jason Hinson if he would be interested. Someone that would work their tale off and a great motivator. Robin Kelsch would either have 1. up his pay to keep him in A-town or 2. let Hinson pick the menu out for each home game buffet that is laid out on the stage for the conession stand or maybe both.

GoldSunrise, what is the latest word on this job?

Haven't heard much about this position lately. When are they looking to fill this, who are some of the candidates?

Congrats to West Carter and to Coach Scott Tackett. The guy can flat coach and will do great things in Olive Hill.

I echo therealcoach.....I think Scott Tackett would be a home run hire for GRC. The guy can flat out coach and is great with the kids.

Strong is the man.

^ Not true

^^^Well said in your post NKYThreeFer- I think what looks the worst in this whole situation is that all this talk has been put out there about Simms not going to be renewed and yet he is still officially the coach and will never have the chance to tell his kids first. Instead they hear this stuff and see this stuff on message boards and the very least that the Pendleton administration could have allowed Coach Simms to be able to deliver what his intentions were going to be professionally. With the resume that he has built and how loyal he has been at Pendleton over the last 10-11 years at Pendleton County, one would think Coach Simms would have had the opportunity to tell his players first. I still think he would have never accepted the administration job had he felt comfortable in his coaching job. This guy will resurface somewhere down the road in a coaching job- he is too good for the game and most importantly for the kids.

Says a lot about the person that makes the choice of who is hired and who is fired. Nobody can be comfortable coaching with this kind of way of doing business. Someone in mind when the current coach still has the head coach title......wow! What goes around, comes around.

Its not open yet. Why this discussion right now?

Chambers was a name that I never thought of when this job came open. I thought this job would take someone young and energetic and she would fit that bill. The question would be how long does she plan on staying and building in this program? It will take a while for this team to become competitive again after losing the core of the team from this year. There was not much underneath that was developed. A person like Chambers needs to get into the grade school and middle school and get more kids interested and developed. Best of luck to Desarae!

Would Scott Tackett at Rowan take a chance and jump from the 16th region to the 10th Region? I would figure Clark County would want someone with head coaching experience and Tackett has a wealth of experience and a great resume. I think I seen where his name has been tossed around at West Carter.

Heffington was a lost ball in tall weeds at this years regional draw. Rison made him look silly when items on the agenda were discussed.
