Alan Moore and Chandler Thompson- both first year coaches so I'm going to wait and see how they do this season.
As a reminder.... thread titles need to be specific.
For individual player development Justice is absolutely #1, the best I have seen in years around here. JC won the region last year so I can agree the #1 spot belongs to Coach McKenzie.
Which one of them make the most money coaching? I know Cal makes a couple mill. Are these coaches about as good as him?
Some recruit pretty well.
^ or have people that are associated with the school recruit for them...
You got it just the way it works.

Don't see how you can put Hicks at #1. SV has had some success in the All-A in recent years, but has underachieved in the postseason. They've not won district since 2015, and have not played for the region championship since 2014. Despite some very talented teams, in 6 years at SV Hicks has yet to win a regional title.
I think you have to put McKenzie #1, with Elisha Justice #2. Hicks would probably slid in at #3.
Good assessment Cowbell. Even though you’re obviously a SV fan. I can appreciate when a fan has a realistic take and is not just a homer. I think you’re pretty spot on here
1. Tommy McKenzie
2-10. Everyone else.
Justice most definitely in the number one spot and then McKenzie. Justice has won the region championship two of the last three times and runner-up the third time that’s a pretty damn good job just saying.

4-6 quality coaches in the region, would like to see Sanson outside of Phelps to see what he can rally do, but anyone who can win anything over is solid.
Top 2 are very good, 3rd is burnout machine on his kids but knows the game and is solid, Slone could drop, but not rise much.

Justice has done a good job. But, heâs got a ways to go to catch McKenzie.
McKenzie in the past 13 years...
6 Region Titles
4 Runner-Ups.
Been in the finals the last 8 years.

The biggest thing here is past 13 years how many years total does he have under his belt...Justice has been at it going on his 4th year at pikeville...When it's all said and done he will be the winningest and most accomplished coach in the 15th history...
Iâm taking Thompson as #1

Heâs got 12 years under his belt. Not 13 my apologies.
Coached 12 years.
Coached in 10 Regional Championship Games.
6 Regional Titles and 4 Runner-Ups.
The thing about it, Justice may very well end up being just that, but it HAS TO BE DONE.
To be better than Tommy, he would have to make basically every Regional Finals in his first 12 seasons and/or win 7 titles.

Hes got a pretty good start. 3 years completed so far 2 regional championships 1 runner up with a team that could definitely be there again this year. They have the 2 of the top 10 players this year and they're just sophomores.

Russell Williamson and Bill Mike Runyon have both accomplished a lot. Itâd be amazing to see another 15th Region school do those things.

**Awesome. Sorry everyone, I meant to type awesome instead of amazing and didnât go back to edit.

They have. Bill mike is top 10 all time wins in the stste if in not mistaken. Johnny martin was a great one also. I think McKenzie is tops right now but justice is right there neck and neck with him and I dont think I've seen someone so young get a start like he has coaching..he has the potential and ability to pass those legendary coaches if he stays consistently on the path hes created thus far

You got your opinion I got mine Justice is better but they are both doing great but the rest isnât even the conversation.

If you're going to talk about all-time coaches and their successes then you have to put Junior Newsome in there. 12 district championships. 2 region championships. An All-A state championship. And all this in different eras of players. I may have played against him but I had, and have, great respect for the man!!

Itâs ranking the active coaches not all-time coaches
