I believe in the 94 and 95 seasons, Whitley beat Corbin everytime in the regular season. It was also that last time Whitley beat Corbin in basketball, which is sad, however, in both those years, they were eliminated in the district by, you guess it, Corbin.
I want to say the 94-95 season, Whitley beat Corbin to death twice, if you remember, Whitley has Siler, Powers, etc, and Corbin was kinda down, but still had some players, i believe it was the year after Pietrowski left, and Whitley was favored to win district and compete for region, but lost to Corbin in district and went home without even going to region.

I agree with your statement though, he didnt do much, but considering 20 other coaches since him havent been able to beat Corbin, its gotta be worth something....
As for the best coach, you'd have to go all the way back to 1982 just to see a Whitley district title.

Maybe in 95 but I am sure Whitley Co never beat Corbin in 94. That's the year Corbin was ranked #1 in KY for much of the year. The 95 team was Deaton's first at Corbin. The 94 team was Hicks' last at Corbin.

As far as basketball coaches at Whitley Co, I think they are a sleeping giant. However, it seems to this outsider that throughout the years no matter who they hire for a head basketball coach about 1/2 the community is against him. They need to get behind whoever is coach. My favorite coach at Whitley County was the young guy back in the 80s who left Whitley County to coach a Jr. college. I don't recall his name.
