I will probably be confronted by stating these opinions, but I am sick of seeing it happen. I do not know why Letcher County's Admin. thinks they have to go out of the mountains or our area and pay upright of 6-figures per year for a coach to come in whenever we have qualified coaches who have grew up in the area, know the program, and would probably take a lot more pride in running it. There are coaches that we have formerly had on our staff that the boys respected, trusted, and worked hard for- who deserved the job. Our boys don't even like these coaches! I have heard it straight from the players themselves. Not only do they not like the staff but they are constantly worried that the administration or coaching staff will "create" another job in the district for someone who also happens to have an all-star son. Our boys have played in this system for years, working hard; and for them to have their spot taken is a little hard for them to swallow, and I don't blame them! There are boys on that team, quality boys, who are quitting and looking into the possibility of transferring schools (if eligible) to play elsewhere, all because their families don't have money or they aren't kissing the coaching staff/administrations hind end. I feel sorry for the players because it is not their fault! If thats how the administration and coaching staff wants to run that program, then mediocre seasons and anger/frustration from the fan base is exactly what they deserve!
