Could one of Knox Countyâs winningest coaches be once again on the sidelines of a local high school basketball team?
Perhaps.
Perhaps not.
Lynn Camp High Schoolâs Athletic Director Danny Green confirmed today that former Barbourville High School basketball coach, Dinky Phipps, has applied for the job as head coach of Lynn Campâs team.
Green said that at this time there has been no decision made on who will fill the position. No decision, he said, will be made until the schoolâs principal, Anthony Pennington, returns Monday.
An official announcement of who will be Lynn Campâs next head basketball coach will be made Monday in the Lynn Camp auditorium.
The Mountain Advocate will be there.

Cancelled.

"The suspense continues as Lynn Camp High School officials canceled today’s announcement for whom they’ve chosen as the next high school basketball coach. The school expects to make an announcement later this week."

Teaching jobs 30 days. Coaching jobs can be hired whenever.

To say the least Knox County has been interesting the last few years.

Hearing it's down to swords and former Knox Central coach, Scott Broughton. His son Tanner played for Bville a couple years ago.
