That is a common trend with BRM. When the school has talent he will be there and when they dont he will leave. Done it with football after losing 20 SRs his only year coaching them and left after he lost 6 SRs in bball. If he sees a talent situation that is not favorable he washes his hands. Ratliff hasnt had the best talent...football hasnt had the best talent and baseball hasnt either. 2 of the 3 can be contributed to the same person for the Buddy Ball Leage Garry McKenzie started going to waste and the once proud Little Leage being run in the ground.

Frank you certainly have drawn some interesting conclusions in the above post. First of all with respect to BMR and Football. Could it possibly be that Runyon was merely an interim coach for the football team for one year between Lemaster and Allen. During that time he had a good group of kids and went 10-3. There are those who would say that BMR has really not proved himself as a Football Head Coach. As to Basketball I am not sure how many years he was the Head Coach,but have you even considered the retirement factor after all those years?(Washing Hands?) Paintsville Youth programs have set the Bar for years in EKy. This is especially true in baseball. If you have seen a District Little League Tournament in the last 20 years you should understand. There have been many names associated with this process: Cobb Clay,Ford Ferguson,Garry McKenzie,Bob Lyons and many many more.
