Yeah Chapman and Holcomb made a good team. I wouldn't say that Chapman made Holcomb. It was more along the lines that Chapman got to focus all his energy on defense and Holcomb got to focus all his energy on Offense. Both with very strong minds in those areas. Without Chapman Holcomb still won games. Chapman without Holcomb won games with the exception of last season at Perry. Chapman style coaching is starting to get obsolete. Kids don't respond to the "tough love" anymore. They want to be treated good and kids respond to that better than you yelling down their throats. Now when these two were together at Breathitt they were dangerous. I could only imagine if they hooked up again at Letcher Central.

defense wins championships and chapman was the dc, he was the brains behind the operation he made Holcomb and those teams and was the architect of that win streak. Holcomb is nothing without chapman.
