Rhodes update
Former UK player Rodrick Rhodes interviewed for the head coaching job at Harlan High on Friday. Rhodes, who is an assistant coach at Texas-Pan American, did the interview via Sykpe.
Harlan Athletics Director Kevin Ballsaid he and a search committee had interviewed seven candidates for the position.
Rhodes, who told the Harlan Daily Enterprise that he wanted to get closer to a daughter living in Virginia, has also been mentioned as a possible candidate for the vacant head coaching position at Owsley County.
Ball first learned of Rhodes' interest in coaching a high school in Kentucky while checking an Internet site that lists job openings.
"I thought either this isn't the Rodrick Rhodes I know or this isn't the Owsley County I know," Ball said.
Ball left a message at Texas-Pan American. Within an hour, Rhodes called back to confirm his interest.
"A lot of people were surprised," Ball said of the reaction to Rhodes as a candidate. "Or they thought it's a joke. Or didn't think we'd been in contact or he was willing to be interviewed.
"It's really true."
The job at Harlan High drew what Ball called "early interest" from about 16 to 18 possible candidates, Ball said. The goal is to hire a new coach before June 25.
