A coach has to start some where.

Not everyone is begging to coach at Owsley County. Might as well start new than get everybody elses left overs.

Your comment makes it sound like Owsley has never done much in basketball. During the 1980's and 1990's Owsley was a fixture in the 14th region tournament, making it to the final game in 1983 and 1985, and to the semifinals in 1982 (where they lost in double overtime to eventual champ MC Napier), 1988, 1989, 1991, 1992, 1999, and 2000. They also made it to the region but lost in the first round in 1990, 2001 (OT loss to Breathitt), 2005, and 2010.
Owsley also has won 4 region All A tournaments and made it to the state All A semifinals in 2000 and to the finals in 1990.
Owsley doesn't have the history of Perry Central, Hazard, and a few of the other region schools, but for a small school they have turned out some pretty good teams over the past three decades, and have been very competitive.
