Definitely isn't performance. The guy had an 85% win rate! 2 of the very few state titles up here. I assume if he continued to coach at that rate he would have went down as the most accomplished coach in Kentucky history. If you just doubled his years and put his coaching to 26 years, at that rate he would have had 960 wins. He had 479 in 13 years, just unheard of.

I don't think he will because of this more than anything. But gosh can we do a hypothetical for a second, Sully with all that talent at his disposal would be something.

I have no idea about Sully faith but being catholic isn't necessarily a deal breaker but it helps a lot when they see it on that application.

I just don't think it's coincidence the last year or two we have seen more off the court shenanigans with parents and players more than ever and now this.

Brannen is recruiting director for Anthony Grant at UD. Fleming?

And this all just confirms to me as a young person I wouldn't get anywhere near coaching. To many opinions from the people that don't matter. These guys coached hard, were all about winning, and all about the players. Worked for several years and now all of a sudden things like toxicity and culture are being mentioned. Something is quite fishy to me! If you can't do it at CCH, why bother even messing with coaching right now. You can't even coach anymore.

Didn't think it was locked in. We have heard rumors dating all the way to last years regionals but could never get confirmation. And I have heard more so issues with parents amid playing time and culture. Never heard the diocese was getting involved.

This job is bigger than Goetz. Sorry to say, also getting info that the Diocese was heavily involved. Would be interested to hear if anybody else is hearing this. Or why they would do it. Running off your best coach ever probably needs to be justified.

Sad day for basketball lovers in the NKY area. He immediately elevated CCH, which in turn immediately elevated the surrounding basketball. 2 of the very few state championships up here and team was ready to compete for one every single year. In my young life they were the team to beat up here and the standard. A joy to watch the talent and coaching transpire over the years, and excited to see what happens next. Biggest job in the area and one of the biggest in the state.

I've heard Joe is gone but I haven't ever got confirmation of it, or saw him confirm it on social media. But Athens would be a huge blow to what they have going on. CCH will always be CCH but Joe and Coach Ruthsatz have definitely elevated it to a level that is gonna be hard to maintain so it was only a matter of time.

Care to elaborate on any of these changes that have been made and what your hearing going forward? That's a a bit of a cliffhanger your leaving us.

Same thing with the 1A districts 3 and 4. Highlighted but nothing actually changed just the district number.

Dixie has always had that potential of a program and outside of a few top end years they have struggled to consistently be a top football team in the area. And I know it was mentioned in the bball thread, but with their numbers and the amount of athletes that roam those halls it's inexcusable. Athletically as a whole being how big they have been for how long, they should have more hardware to show for it.

There are athletes that are walking those halls not playing sports. My best friend was arguably the best quarterback of all time at Dixie, I've witnessed it all firsthand while also playing them as a rival. Dixie is known around for having a certain reputation off the field/court so yes maybe that contributes to pulling people in their district. At the end of the day one of the biggest schools in the area, that some years struggle to win district. Let alone advance in the regional. And to your point about the team a few years ago, that team was somewhat weak compared to most years and they still made it. But when you play in a district with all A schools and then get matched up with a runner up from a different district which is most likely an A school most years your gonna advance. They are for sure underachievers in my book, and sully would be an awesome hire to get them back rolling. He would be slot like Chevy, gonna run his system to a T and you're gonna play hard. Sub 10-11 guys and wear you down. He would do great at Dixie!

What's harsh about it? Dixie has one regional once or twice while being one of the biggest schools in the state. And they play in a district with 4 other A schools. Well Lloyd has recently grown some, but still the same point. It should be regional final 4 for them at minimum every single year. That's just the facts.

Read you post wrong. Didn't realize you said ground breaking thought I read grand opening!

So one last full season at the old field? Or will they play games at both this year?

This is what I'm starting to hear.

Cooper will be the next vacancy.

The Ludlow boys program is actually down if you asked me, scheduling has dropped off a ton and aren't really competing in district anymore. But you can probably say that for all the smaller schools. I think Aaron is a great coach and guy, does many of the right things you want a coach to do but like someone mentioned earlier has definitely benefitted from schedules throughout his career.

This might be unpopular but Crossing is gonna name the score in this one. They are way too athletic and big for Lyon. Even at the guard and wing positions, where it will help defending and closing out on some of the Lyon shooters. I don't know how Moreno doesn't have 30 rebounds this game, nobody on Lyon is above 6'4. And to that point Lyon County plays a zone defense without much ball pressure. How easy is it gonna be to dump the ball to Moreno and he just flick it over his shoulder because nobody else can even contest his floater? All he has to do is get to his spot and turn over his shoulder. Just a bad matchup.

Lol some guys on here are just so not clued in. I'm about to post the wing players he got commitments from. Both can shot, both can defend and both can play make. It's not the players or talent Cal is getting or passing up on. It's the lack of ideas, philosophy and adjusting that is doing him in. Is Noah maybe better than Perry? Yes I can be here for that argument. These two kids? Not a chance.

Regret not making it down for this one. 48 to clinch a spot in the Final 4 is a legendary performance.

I think Noah is gonna cause a ton of problems for tonight's winner. Big sized kid that has a ton of skill and athleticism. I don't know who on Newport can match up, will be a tough guard. Same reason I like Trinity and Crossing over them, the wing play is very suspect.
