Why is this a terrific hire? I am not saying that it is not, but I can't understand all the fanfare over a guy who has coached one year of high school basketball and never overwhelmed anyone at JBS even with their recruits and exchange students. He may do a great job, he may fall flat. Nobody knows what the future may hold. But to hear all the people on here, you would think Pikeville had just hired Phil Jackson, John Caliper or Rick Pitino. He is just a coach who needs to be given time to establish himself. I wonder what the Panther faithful will be saying if he puts together a few losing seasons. Also, wonder what they will be saying when all the transfers play over the homegrown kids. Lets wait a few years before we induct him in the coaches hall of fame.
