John Hunt takes over as head coach of the Bulldogs after a long stint as assistant coach. Hunt was also assistant for the glory day runs at Bullitt East a decade ago.

This possibly confirms that De'Aaron Watkins is transferring as rumors swirl. The question is which rumored destination does he go to, stay in the 2nd and move south, move north into the 3rd or east into the 11th?

This job posting was up yesterday, should be some action around this one anytime now.

I can see the benefits as well to the most aggressive defensive team because fouling early in the half they will receive a fresh start for the second part of the half. Alongside my aforementioned point of 5 fouls resulting in the bonus in an 8 minute quarter, aggressive defensive teams can be extra aggressive because the penalty won't come quite as often, for a team to get to five fouls without doing so for an end the game situation they would have to have a high foul to possession ratio. When the penalty does come, it won't happen until very late in the quarter, again rewarding teams to be more aggressive because they may only get penalized a minute or two at the end of the quarter. Personally if going to this rule, I see it would have made better sense if it was four fouls for the bonus since the quarters are eight minutes in length rather than five fouls like the NCAAW where their time frame is ten minutes.

If going to this rule, women play ten minute quarters and NBA plays 12 minute quarters as both have the same rule of 5 fouls per quarter for the bonus. High School is only 8 minute quarters, outside of shooting fouls there will rarely be free throws until the fourth quarter when a team is attempting to foul.

Any updates on this one, I personally think this is one of the top 3-5 jobs open this carousel.

Tyler Wagner, former assistant at Whitley County, is the new head coach of Lynn Camp.

Was unaware that this position was open, but Derek Ferch is now head coach at Louisville Collegiate. I believe this is where a former U of L assistant was head coach last season, only season after replacing George Hornstein.

D.J. Pigg has stepped down as coach of Crittenden County. Pigg, an alum of Marshall County High School, could he be headed back to take over the Lady Marshals program as his immediate plans weren’t released at the time of his resignation.

Derrick Newsome has stepped down as head coach of Betsy Layne after leading them to back to back district titles in 2021 and 2022.

Brandon Ratliff stepped down and Cameron "Boo" Smith is in as head coach of Phelps High School.

Tyler McCoy led the Wildcats to the 15th region JV title last season and now gets to wear the gold whistle as head coach.

Ross Hart has been promoted from within to take over the boys basketball program at Beechwood.

What a nosedive this program has taken in such a short time. It won't take long to build it back up in my opinion.

KHSAA website already has this updated or the head coach listed as Steve Beane.

Excuse me, that should have stated withdrew instead of not getting hired, and that's a savvy play up there with resigning from the position before getting fired.

Austin Sparrow may have youth on his side compared to some coaches but that is a veteran move in the coaching profession there. Withdraw your name so you can say I withdrew instead of not getting fired, that's a savvy play up there with resigning from the position before getting fired.

The word around Lexington is, he will be a senior graduating in class of 2024 but will not enroll until January of 2025 because of something personal for years this has been the plan. I believe the timeline is he will not enroll for 2024 and red-shirt because of having to sit personal reason but will enroll in 2025 like an early enrollee for graduating class of 2025 and have an extra year if needs to red-shirt etc. I believe this used to be referred to as a greyshirt.

sounds like Keith Adkins if he is a current high school coach.

The RedHawks job is now posted on the JCPS site.

Jason Butler has breathed fresh air into the life of the Mason County baseball program.

The house that Travis Atwell built.

Did the Coach who has been there seven years resign on his own or was he let go from his coaching position? Looking on the school website, they have available coaching positions posted for High School Football Head Coach, Middle School Football Head Coach, Volleyball High School Head Coach and Baseball High School Head Coach. Interesting that baseball would be posted as open when their in the middle of their current season even though they are winless to date. I hope that the football coach just resigned on his own considering the season has been over for over six months now when he could have been pursuing other coaching opportunities in that time frame had he known he would be let go.

I am not aware of where Coach Hicks is going but the job is posted on the Jefferson County Schools site.

Fairdale is now open and taking applications through tomorrow. Very appealing job as they have proven they can win a state title winning three of four in the early 90's along with being an annual participant in the King of the Bluegrass event. They return all but two players from a 22 win team including their top six scorers for the 2023-2024 campaign.
