Open Job: Greenup County
He announced his resignation last week. It kind of sounds like “you can’t fire me! I quit!” Coach Amis is a good coach. I hope he bounces back. It’s unfortunate for the players that got stuck in this situation.

Bardstown 71 John Hardin 63 OT (5th Region Semifinals)
There aren’t many better this time of year than Boo Brewer. Wouldn’t be a bit surprised if they win region, then destroy some poor 16th region team in the first round.

Seventh Region Final Preview
I really like his game. But he could also try to do too much and end up shooting them out of it.

Seventh Region Final Preview
Both coaches have been there plenty of times. I like Male because they rely more on upperclassmen. And in high school basketball, that matters. Ballards freshman guards are older than most freshman, but it’s still their first time playing in a game with stakes this high.

Male 57 Eastern 52 (7th Region Semifinals)
Eastern is well coached and always has a good game plan. The future is bright in Middletown.

Fern Creek 66 Pleasure Ridge Park 50 (Sixth Region Semifinal)
There’s an argument. But I’d be comfortable taking my chances.

Fern Creek 66 Pleasure Ridge Park 50 (Sixth Region Semifinal)
Toughest district in the state.

Time to have top teams in the Regional
I’ve said this a lot. Especially if they ever let the 11th region compete too

St. Xavier vs. Trinity Predictions/Updates (7th Region Round 1)
The atmosphere for this is going to be insane. Trinity has sold out of their ticket allotment. I assume the same for X.

Woodford County 58 Spencer County 48 (30th District)
Maybe next year for the young bears, that aren’t so young anymore.

Saint Xavier changes from local equipment provider
BSN offers that service. So I would assume so. They do their own in house printing. So they can make shirts as they’re ordered.

Western 59 DeSales 50 (22nd District Semifinals)
The coach at Western has done an incredible job.

Open Job: Anderson County
The reality is, every coach has a shelf life. If you have a great record, you stay longer. Which he did. But at some point, you won’t be on the same page. Probably what happened here.

Saint Xavier changes from local equipment provider
You forgot: BSN=accessibility to better product

Male 112 Brown 35 (26th District)
Really glad Male decided to hold back. On another note, great quote from Lou Holtz playing Bobby Bowden once. Bowden ran the score up. Then told Holtz “it’s not my job to keep me from scoring”

Moore names Billy Martin Head Coach
Sounds like he’s been through a lot. Moore always has talent. Hope he’s the right guy.
-
Jeffersonville (IN) 80 Ballard 77
Yeah. And I think 10 out of the last 14.
-
Jeffersonville (IN) 80 Ballard 77
They’ve actually beaten Ballard on a pretty regular basis.

Saint Xavier changes from local equipment provider
I can’t tell you how many times we had to get something quick from Shively and they couldn’t come through. Even if you went to pick it up. If it wasn’t in the store, you’d have to wait until they did their once a day “warehouse run”. The warehouse is across the street...
-
Saint Xavier changes from local equipment provider
Yes. They’re a huge company, and made a major push a few years ago. Getting the guy that did the bulk of the business for Shively, to cover Louisville, was a really smart move.
-
Saint Xavier changes from local equipment provider
The National outfit is BSN. The person who covers the state of Kentucky for BSN was a Shively employee for quite awhile. He left for BSN a few years ago, and has converted a lot of the schools that he used to sell to for Shively. The reality to the story, Shively may have grown a little complacent over the years. It happens in sales. If you aren’t taking care of your customer, someone else will.

Seneca 83 Ballard 80
Ballard has approximately 14 assistants. Quality over quantity.
-
Seneca 83 Ballard 80
This really isn’t a big upset. Seneca has talent. And anyone familiar with coach Coleman knows how great he is at getting the most out of his teams.
-
Oldham County 55 Collins 44
With so few games left in the season, why quit now? I don’t know this kid, or what his potential might be. But for a college coach, that’s a massive red flag.

Shot Clock
I’m a huge proponent of a shot clock. But I also don’t think that most schools would have someone capable of running it correctly. It’s not as simple as some people think. I just really hate the amount of stories where a coach refuses to come out of a zone, so the opposing coach just holds the ball. Seems to be more and more of them. Or double overtime games where both teams finish in the 40s.
