Congrats to a KY guy on a KY win!

I have one problem with automated cars. When an accident happens, and it will, who do you go after? Right now you go after the driver and his her insurance company if it is a bad accident and lots of expenses or casualties occur. With a driverless car, you could sue the owner but they will just put the blame on the manufacturer or the person who programmed the car. Or the software maker. Or the mechanic. Or the roadway. It's bad enough insurance companies try to put the blame on someone else at it is now in all sorts of cases. These cars are gonna be a mess for the person that gets hit by one.

Wonder where the guys that seem to know it all about everything are on this topic? Could it be that for once nobody is in the know?

On the flipside to that, too many coaches get hired because of "loyalty". You should hire the best person for the job. Just because someone is alumni doesn't mean they will be the best coach.

I was asking you seriously if they "settled" for this guy because they didn't get who they wanted. And no I don't know anything about why Andre didn't get the job.

Way to not answer either question.....

So your saying that they "settled" for this guy? So what happened to McClendon?

Not all, including I, would agree with you.

Any one know if he has any ties with HC, or any kids coming up thru school?

I hope they are looking for someone who not only is a good coach, but do not have any children coming up through the school. I wouldn't even want someone who is close to the families of the school. Just a great coach with no with no ties to the school what so ever.

Headed to Oskaloosa Iowa to pick up our son from college and bring him home. 530 miles each way

I would disagree 100%. Not all AAU teams are hand picked. Not even close to all. Yes your top teams in the state or the nation are for sure, but that leaves a whole bunch of kids playing AAU that we're be not " hand picked". I have witnessed an AAU coach ''dealt players" that couldn't win a single game and get blowed out by 60 in 7th grade and by the following season they were contenders in everything they played and even winning some. Season after that they won way more than they ever lost. That is a real coach in my book. Had nothing to do with high school kids or AAU, as they were both.

He was the man in charge of the basketball program at town and country sports complex in Wilder when it opened 2 years ago. Not sure if he still there or not. I believe he played ball at TMC as well

I should have included congrats to him for going on with schooling and basketball.

Probably same way a NAIA D1 school in Oskaloosa Iowa (William Penn University) found a player that graduated from Holy Cross last year. They seen video and liked what they saw. Just my guess

I didn't see what happened with this, any info?

A lot of kids transfer to NAIA or D1-2 schools after 2 years of juco. They may have been a little behind academically and needed those two years, or they just weren't noticed by the bigger schools but do get noticed while in juco and get a scholarship.

It's would have taken a lot to make Cooper better than last season, and "NO'' single player could do that.

Let me try this again. I believe TMC wins this game in double digits. And I would say that my son's NAIA D1 men's bball team ( which most of the people on here believe to be way below D1 and D2 NCAA) would run CCH out of the gym and I mean that literally. And for all you that think these schools couldn't gaurd Walter because they don't have a guy that size, you are way off. Walter could never run with some of the teams the entire game. The comment about 8 d2 players or better kills me. Good as they are those 8 would not beat the starting 5 on a top d3 team and would get crushed against a top NAIA team.

Would like to see an article or info on the kids who went on to play college ball that were not "stars" on their high school team.

Any official word?

When McClendon came back for the 2016-2017 year as assistant, I'm pretty sure most of us know it was because we knew then that Schrand was leaving as soon as his son graduated, and Andre would become the head coach. I would have been very suprised if it didn't happen that way.

While I agree with most of the article, when people talk about athletic scholarships they always refer to d1 schools. Very few athletes will see ncaa D1 . But there a way more scholarships available at other levels, including d2 and NAIA D1 and D2 schools that will still get you a good education and a degree along with playing competitive sports. Also agree with hoops5, nothing wrong with playing the sport your child loves year round. We as parents and our son as a kid got to experience things, meet people, and make freinds that we would have not had the chance if we didn't play AAU ball. Did it get him a D1 NCAA scholarship? No . It did get him a partial scholarship to one of the top NAIA bball programs in the country. And the coach there and the other schools we talked to looked more at his performance at AAU than his high school games.

Was this a surprising score?

I can garuntee you that the question was asked and answered by no less than 6 of his previous players, and they agreed with what camelman stated. Not all the players were asked but enough to see what the general consensus was.
