To say that coach Holland is not that good of a coach is just crazy, and to say Coach Cal is not that good of a coach is just plain ridiculous!In all my years this may be the craziest post I've seen on here.For some reason you must not like Coach Holland and that is fine. But like him or not you have to respect him.Al has had alot of talent but so has Hatcher especially during his runs in the 1st region and defiantly in his state Championship team in W.V.(can't think of the players name but he played at Virginia and in the NBA)

Don't get me wrong Coach Hatcher is not only one of the best coaches in the state he is one the greatest coaches ever to coach in Kentucky! But Al Holland is as well.In my opinion these are the 2 best coaches to ever coach in the 14th! It kills me when both sides get on here and bash the others coach.I would love to have either of them coaching at my favorite school.

Not tring to start anything but both coaches have had careers that any coach would kill for and to put either one of them down or say either one of them isn't a great coach is either jealousy or lack of knowledge.

Agree... I'm from Hazard, I've played, coached, and loved Hazard my whole life But I'll be the first to tell you that Hatcher is a great coach.... Hatcher, and Holland are as different as Night and Day. I've coached under Holland and I've talked to Hatcher and Scouted Hatcher many times. Everyone knocks on Holland because he has always had great players, but there's nothing harder then Coaching a 16, or 17 year old kid who thinks he's the best ever. One thing Holland always does is prepares his team. He can control talent better then anyone. Hatcher on the other hand, I believe he don't need or want Talent. All Hatcher needs is a few hard workers. He teaches kids respect and hard work. And you can tell that the game is Hatcher's life. This Region is very lucky to have two great coaches. And I believe that there are many young coaches in the region who are learning from the two great coaches.

This entire post is a joke!!!!
Everyone EXCEPT Hazard fans are irritated that they can host region!
It should be 2 places and 2 places only...Knott and Perry..just like the wymt..there is a reason Hazard cannot host the wymt, it is miserable..ALL ASPECTS!

Memorial Gym is badly outdated. Don't get me wrong, I love the gym. Playing in it, or being a spectator, the atmosphere is second to none. But a regional tournament should not be held there. Too small and zero parking.
