I hate to hear this, but knew it was coming. Coach Newsome really thought this group was going to be his next group that could make a run at a few regional championships. Lonnie "Doe Doe" Rowe ruined it for him and spent most of the time trying to ruin him as a coach so he could get the head job. Coach Newsome's only regret is probably ever agreeing to hire him as one of his assistants. He would still be coaching for a few more years if this was the case. The best case scenario for the next coach would be to tell Doe Doe to go somewhere else if he wants to coach or go help his brother with the girls. Sorry Coach Newsome, but enjoy retirement. You have earned it for coaching for so many years!!!

Shelby Valley is one of the top jobs in eastern Kentucky. Valley can go get a proven coach with a lot of experience. Principal Greg Napier, who is a former basketball coach, knows this and will conduct a statewide or even nationwide search for a coach. With the right coach in place, Shelby Valley has a very good chance at getting to Rupp next season.
