What is going on at Pulaski County? 10 players and all 3 assistant coaches have quit the team. This leaves them with just 3 remaining players. It sounds like the rest of the team will be made up of players brought up from the middle school ranks. The coach from last season was fired one week before the team's first scrimmage and replaced by Brad Gover--brother of Al Gover who just resigned as boy's basketball coach. Here is a quote from the assistant coaches that was in the Commonwealth Journal's story on the situation:

“In late February, a week before the first scrimmage of the season, the team was rattled with a change in the head coaching position. This was a very hard blow for the team so close to season starting. We knew there would be an adjustment period and the transition would be difficult.”

“Although this was a very emotional time, the team rallied together and decided that they would stay together and finish the season because they had worked hard, put in a lot of time, but mostly because they loved the game.”

“On the field, the players made every attempt to change the things they were asked to change. Within a five-week period of time, we witnessed things and heard things being done to the players that included bullying, berating, intimidation, humiliation, and retaliation.”

“It finally reached a point in which we had to decide what was right and what was wrong and let our decision be based on that.”

Sounds like a bad situation.
