I bet beaver creek is regretting and reconsidering giving spurlock the job this year.. the question now is will they move on with a search for someone new or let spurlock try again... IMO they should admit they messed up and try to bring Justin Holbrook back...

Could not understand why they went away from the Conn kid. He was having his way underneath early. FC never seemed to have any kinda plan, they just played chaotic. Could've been because Paintsville was shooting lights out but if I were coaching that team, and I'm not, but if I were.....no one without the last name Tackett or Conn would've been jacking up shots. Once again.....Summer Ball means nothing!!!

JH not getting the job is resonating throughout the region. Plenty of people are taliking about this team and the up and down season. They played a strong schedule, but didn't improve very much from beginning to end. One player tried to take over the game, but looked very exhausted and shots were short or erratic. If you press, you can't give up lay-up after lay-up. Someone has to protect the basket and make the opponent stop and pass or take a charge. Neither happened. Good luck to remaining teams in the boys and girls tournament.

It's a dirty shame they didn't give Justin Holbrook the head coaching job. The reason the didnt is because of Floyd county politics. A lot of people don't know this but Doug Hall got Henry Webb to hire Kevin Spurlock because Kevin's wife works in Doug's office. Simple as that.

I guess we learn something new everyday... JH wouldve delivered a region to FC this year I have no doubt in that

I dont understand the game plan or lack there of? I know Paintsville shot the lights out, a crazy 3 point %.. I don't mean this to discredit their win. They played a great game and congrats to them..
I just don't understand FC not taking more advantage of size and bottom post.. They out rebounded Paintsville, why not take more of that on the offensive end?

Fantastic win for one of the youngest teams in the region in Paintsville. Itâs going to be a fun couple of years for the Tigers. I really thought they would struggle their first time playing in the regional tournament against a senior dominated team but they played amazing.
Really really disappointing first year for the Jags. It was basically going to Rupp or bust from the beginning of the season. Just never seemed like things gelled right for the team. It will be an interesting offseason to see if Spurlock stays or goes. He has jumped around in the past and Floyd Central canât be pleased with a first round lose in the region with the senior talent they had.

I don’t know much about Spurlock but I do know in 2012/13 season he was at Perry and had Beverly and Johnson on the same team and could win a Region title so I don’t know why your surprised about this year

Justin Holbrook and all of left beaver got screwed by their former hero Henry Webb. That team was BORN to player raider ball run and gun and beat people down. Spurlock tried to man handle them into his style and this is the result.
Landon slone did a great job in game planning and his tigers really play for him.
Also Kobe Fugate is a stud that kid is gonna be a FORCE

I've never been a fan of Spurlock either. A better choice definitely could have been made in my opinion. I hate this early loss for Tackett. Every time I've seen him play, he has been a hustler and a leader on the court. He has been one of my favorite players to watch.
Hats off to Paintsville on the win. I knew watching them last year that they would be a top contender this year. It looks like they are gonna be lethal for a few more years too. Congrats on your win boys.

Im sick of Spurlock getting all the blame. Makes me sick. Since when has Allen Cental and big bad South Floyd won anything in basketball? Its not like you combined Hazard and Perry Central. Its more like combining Buckhorn and Riverside. Its gonna take Spurlock some time to tame those wild horses. Yeah all they have done is run and gun and lose in the past. Maybe its time they learned some Xs and Os along with some disciplined play. As for him losing with Beverly and Johnson, well remember the names Justice, Hall, and the other 3 or 4 other players KCC had that were good? Thats why Spurlock lost. Give the guy a break, Coach Cal couldnt done any better or nobody else at this first year school.

Wow. This must be spurlock.

It's not about taming wild horses. A great coach doesn't make players play his way a great coach adjusts to his players and sets game plan according to what kind of team he has..some years you may have run n gun some may have a slower pace but as coach YOUR the one who makes adjustments.. just like if YOUR defense is getting destroyed you AS A COACH must make a in game ADJUSTMENT to change that defense and figure out the best situation to put your team in to WIN...

The talent was there and the stats prove it.

To lazy to look it up, but I'm pretty sure he played for Billy G at UK. Couldn't blame anyone for not wanting to play for that guy.

I'm not going to sit here and say that Justin Holbrook is a bad coach, because that simply isn't true. I am going to say however, who did Justin really beat that he shouldn't have? I can think of one, that's it. Magoffin in the region. That's one of the main factors I look at when I look at coaching. Either way, he would have produced a far more productive season than Spurlock ever could.
