They need to clean the whole program and hire someone with head coaching experience!

Today they announced they are going a different route with their basketball coach! Thought on who will replace her?

I heard Notre Dame has gone a different directions for a basketball coach today!

TMC couldn't guard Jake Walter or Fredrick! Ruthsatz is also a D-2 player who is more talented than the TMC D-3 players. I say CovCath would win 73-63!

I was told either Cov Cath, Trinity or Prep school!

You obviously did not watch the CovCath/Fern Creek game. Fern Creek had a better team that Cooper. Nothing against Cooper, CovCath just playing great right now. If they had played against Cooper the way they did today CovCath wins by 25 points.

Playing on Sunday is killing attendance for the championship. They need to go to Saturday night. Period. Move it back one day during the week. And having the girls play in Rupp Arena is just a horrible idea. But the boys need to play the championship on Saturday night. That would help.

I am getting my Popcorn ready about People giving me grief about CJ Frederick!??????

Such a hater!

Nothing Negative at all! Wins Gatorade player of the year! Putting up great numbers at State! NKY players don’t get respect because we only have one media person that vote!

It’s crazy the stats CJ is putting up down at Rupp! The winner of Mr Basketball( Not saying he is a bad player) didn’t even make it to the Sweet 16 and CJ is putting numbers up like this! I begin to wonder about the voting!

Thanks. I took the roster of Covington Catholic Website. I guess they forgot to update it.

My bad, was the top assistant to a team that had 152 wins while he was there

The fascination is ask anyone at Covington Catholic if he is a good coach!!! 1) There is a point in time that a assistant coach wants to build his own program. So maybe he is ready to be a head coach and build his own program 2) I can only image that a head coach doesn't want this job because of the pay( Maybe the All A Schools maybe). So might as well go outside the program and hire assistant coach that has some success. 3) Record as a assistant coach at Cov. Cath. 152-25. 3 Regional Championship, 1 State Title and 1 Final Four 4) He is connected to AAU programs and College Basketball. No brainer for me

I would go outside the school. I don’t know if he wants it but I would interview/ talk to Joe Frederick to see if he is interested. He has been at Cov Cath 5 years with 3 regional Championships Bezold- won’t leave college to be a high school. Macke-She won’t step foot in that School unless she has too

Don’t understand please explain!

I heard today Coach Schrand decided to end his run as Head Coach! Congrats on years at Holy Cross! Who will be the front runner for job?

Kep my in mind that I am not saying they are bad coaches or players!

1- Kunkle was co player of year with Frederick 2-Runion was defense of player of the year 3-McNeil was Mr. Hustle 4) Coach of the Year was Sullivan from Cooper How is that possible? Mostly every award goes to Cooper and they lost to Cov Cath twice in the year. There should be a better way of doing this!

You won had 75 points 2)Biggest Fan 3)SEC Rules 4)Raider Bird 5)HSballFan24 6)Buddy Pittman Thanks everyone for playing

Some thoughts about watching the Colonels battle last night. 1) The Cov Cath Colonels continue to play great defense. Forced Dixie best player with 9 TO. 2) Watching Dixie’s Fan last night, taunt Cov Cath student section was the price of admission. Early in the game when the game was close he was doing things that many people in the gym was shaken their heads too! 3) CJ Frederick continues to be on fire. The turning point of the game was when he hit the 3 at the buzzer of the 1st half. District MVP-Check, Regional MVP- Check. 4) Covington Catholic coaching staff continues to provide a great game plan while the Colonels forced 22 TO. Dixie shot from the FG: 30% 3FG:19%.

Yep started the season off 2-7! Had a lot of bad losses! Lost to Cov Cath by 44 and Cooper by 51. Dixie being in the championship isn’t because they are a good team, means they got a lucky draw.

It’s amazing last year, everyone was bashing Cov Cath, Frederick( saying he was overrated) and how Cooper’s staff is better than Cov Cath! This year Cov Cath beat them twice, including the regional. Now everyone is blaming the officials! Cov Cath has the better team and better staff!

Congrats, and grab your participation trophy on the way outside BB and T Arena tonight after the beating you get from CovCath! You are the one who always spins things your way! I just did rankings by consulting 3 other people who know a lot more than you or me!
