If I'm not mistaken, Pikeville High School, has had an "open-door" policy with every athlete in Pike County since the school opened it's doors. There is nothing wrong with it at all, however, I find it very odd that Belfry is catching hell for a handful of kids that have been in the Belfry system since atleast middle school. What is starting to happen is Haywood has put in a lot of years, and because of that he is not only creating a legacy at Belfry, but also in the homes of his players. So now when those players have kids, regardless of where they live, they want to be apart of the Haywood program just like their fathers were and just like they want their kid to do when they have them. So again, they don't have to recruit. Unlike other school systems, Belfry has stayed loyal to Haywood and visa versa, and now they are starting to reap the benefits of their loyalty with one another. Belfry is a great example of how things should be done, and from what I understand, they are loyal to all their coaches in all sports.
