Well thats a rumor because Danny Wright is happy right where he is.

To much politics with the families, A big headache

Interesting take on their situation in Estill. From the people I know, this is not a polictical place at all especially being on the edge of mountain counties. I have been told this may be a much better job than what people may think.

Sorry for catching up to this thread so late.
First, what is this about Mr. Tiller resigning? Isnât he married to an Estill native? Doesnât he live and teach in Estill County? And doesnât his son attend Estill? If the above questions are true then it is highly unlikely Mr. Tiller chose to resign. Walking away amid all this controversy would only make the situation more awkward for himself and his family. Thus, it is more likely Mr. Tiller was forced to resign. Regardless, best of luck to Mr. Tiller in dealing with this situation because it will be difficult.
Secondly, Mr. Tiller is gone so focus now on the current candidates. From what Iâm reading there seems to be three applicants.
I find it doubtful Danny Wright would choose to leave Lee County. He lives and teaches there, as does his wife. He has built a program there that has proven to be highly successful against Estill. And he does not have to deal with football, leaving him more time with players and the potential to make good money even within the small Lee system. Additionally, leaving one district rival for another never occurs without drama, and Estill is certainly not looking for any more drama at this point.
With regards to Mr. Rison, he is certainly an accomplished coach that understands the game of basketball. However, he is retired and it is questionable how committed he would be to a program he ditched before. Also, there are many people within Estill County that still remember his patronizing attitude toward them when he was at Montgomery. Thus, added to the fact that Mr. Rison and Mr. Tiller are close friends, his hiring would only add to the current drama in Estill.
That then leaves us with this Mr. Christopher. He seems young with only a few years of coaching under his belt. His youth seems to be a hurdle for many Estill fans, but there are others who say that may just be what Estill needs right now. From comments and conversations, Mr. Christopher certainly seems to know the game of basketball and has positive relationships with Estill fans. Plus, if my research is correct, he even played four years of college ball at Centre. And isnât Centre a pretty difficult school? Regardless of his education, there is still the age factor. Is there an older, experienced Estill Countian who would be willing to serve as Mr. Christopherâs assistant coach? If so, I think age then becomes less of a difficulty. Lastly, it would seem Mr. Christopher has little baggage. His hiring would offer little drama (as he has been away from Estill County High School basketball for years) and it would seem he would be around for the long haul. And letâs face it; even if people are worried about him struggling the first few years, the 56th District is currently awful weak.

as for Coach Tiller, i wish him nothing but the best in what he does or where he goes. he will be missed alot. he's been great to me, if i needed anything, he made sure i had it, he was always there for me, i didn't start watching Estill Basketball til Coach Tiller started coaching.
Wright Won't Leave Lee County, from what ive heard he likes it there.
i don't know if Bart would come out of retirement.
Christopher don't won't it.
other than that, i don't know any more candidates

Nothing is certain, especially when you're basing your decision on posts from disconnected individuals like ourselves. I highly doubt Mr. Wright is totally satisfied at Lee and I highly doubt anyone who says Mr. Christopher would not be interested in Estill. Regardless, Mr. Wright is going nowhere.

according to KHSAA Website, He started Coaching Hazard 2007/8. he's 78-24 with 2 District and 2 Regional Championships. yes i do believe his son is at EKU
2007/8 31-5 (District & Regional Champs)
2008/9 26-9 (Regional Champs)

Was he ever offered anything at Estill or surrounding counties due to his son?Holland is not going to leave the Perry County area. My guess is he's happy where he's at. Hazard's 6th, 7th, and 8th grades teams were very, very good this year. And every one of those 3 classes have a bunch of redshirts. Hazard should be in pretty good shape for the next 4 or 5 years, with maybe a slight rebuilding year next season.

Estill County probably will not fill the head bb job untill after state tourney. No one mentioned to date is in the picture for the job . It appears that out of respect to every one involved that this would only be the right approach. Just stay tunned, the best is yet to come.
