This decision is going to make for some interesting discussions. On one hand Belfry was fortunate to find a coach to stick around this long and put in the effort that Coach Casey has. This is a football school without question and no doubt is a tough situation. On the other hand there is no reason that Belfry cannot be a basketball power in the 15th region again. They have the athletes and have proven they can be dominant in this region albeit it was 20 yrs ago when they were. Belfry has been mired in mediocrity over the last 15 years with only a few regional runner ups to show for it. Is that the coaches fault? Well he is in charge and there are many many people in the community fed up with the lack of control, lack of enthusiasm from the principal and also in the recent direction of the program to cater to WV boys. Anxious to see a good hire and if its Thompson then expect a lot more mediocrity in the years to come.
