They did and I even tried to convince him to do it. He wouldn’t even talk to me about it... said he loved North Laurel and his kids and didn’t want to rebuild. I hadn’t talked to him much before then but I knew some parents who had a kid who played for him and loved him and she never even got to play much. I have looked at the records and it looks good only two teams that looked better the last few years are Harlan county and Harlan. This is what I don’t miss about coaching. I’m glad the internet wasn’t around most of my coaching career. The only team North Laurel seems to have problems with is clay. Clay has had NL number and I was not at the North Laurel v Clay game to know about being out coached but I will say I have seen Mahan coach a lot and think he is one the best around that I have seen. I’m not a big fan of North Laurels team this year, no post and no pg so anytime is slows down they are going to struggle. I see another possible two losses this week for North Laurel, but thats high school basketball for you.

I always respect your opinions and I understand where you are coming from, but I am on a different side in this case. I’m just not a fan for reasons I won’t elaborate on. Not saying he’s not a good guy, I honestly don’t know him personally at all, I’m speaking from some coaching things I have seen myself and been told about by people I trust.
