Hambley my friend you just gave answer to many of the self inflicted wounds of Floyd county sports. Politics is everywhere but the levels of Floyd county goes unmatched. You can look at every high school in the county at some of the major sports at their schools. Look at the kids Prestonsburg loses every year to Paintsville and the kids Floyd Central is seeing leave. Since this particular post is about Betsy Layne basketball I will use this as a specific example. Betsy Layne has a ton of talent at their school coming up. The principal hires Short. He comes in and improves on both years he is there. He has a young team that does very well with some really good wins. The program is on the up and what I was told by many people is the principal really liked him. Board member wants to help his buddies for whatever reasons and everyone knows the rest. If you look at Betsy Layne's major sports the year Short was fired he had the best record by far than any of them and most put together. Now, Betsy Layne has a new coach which could be really good or bad, I don't know enough about him to make a decision. What I do know is that you have a player like Frasier that is the Bobcats leading scorer that has played for 3 different coaches and learning an entire new system. It just leaves you scratching your head but not really wandering why.
