Maybe Fulton will name himself coach.

Wouldn't be the first time to have an AD and Head Coach.

Anyone that the superintendent and personnel director signs off on can coach the team. The principal would make the formal recommendation to them and then He/she just has to write a formal justification as to why the hire was made if it would appear to be a conflict of interests or policy.

 

Either way I'm hearing Jay Emmons isn't gunning for it. There are some names floating around out there

What names are you hearing if Jay isn't going for it? Is it because it'd be a conflict?

Can a coach be hired during the dead period?

I know Fulton was instrumental on landing successful recruits at MSU Tennis and is a visible figure in his community, not to mention a Mike Reitz product in high school (Maysville). He without a doubt would have sound judgement on recommendations for that program. The hire at Fleming needs to be one with head coaching experience and a proven track record in life for success. They have dealt with some turmoil as a school system and they need a leader who can represent their school system, basketball team, and community as well as who can face adversity and handle it with success. With the successful lineage they possess with appearances at Rupp Arena I dare say they should target someone who has competed at that level or higher in some fashion, much like their choice in the athletic director, and someone who can develop players with the combined basketball knowledge.

I like what you are thinking.... However, it is hard to get someone with that caliber to stay, see: Starns.

New AD Kevin Fulton is supposed to make it the priority. Fulton hasn't really been involved with H.S. Sports (other than Tennis) so I don't know how his selection process will move along.

I like the AD hire with Fulton. I think he will do an excellent job with our sports programs. I am just hoping they can get someone hired before jobs fill up. We've had several openings at the high school but I think a lot of them are filled.

Anything new with this? With summer ball wrapping up, I was wondering if FC has started interviewing anyone.
