You probably had a good coach that was quite modest. I've seen some coaches with a ton of talent that had no clue how to use it. Also Jimmy and Joe would much rather play for Junior Newsome than let's say a Bob Smith if Bob Smith has no track record. In short, if you want to rebuild with a no name coach you better be patient and give them a chance or hire someone that can attract kids to your program. It's all about what route you want to take and how quickly do you want to get there. In my opinion when Junior came back to Betsy Layne I would have also found his replacement to bring in with him. It would have been a young guy that had some swag and he could learn from one of the best. They knew Junior wouldn't be there forever.

They had him on the staff and he went to Pburg to coach the girls high school basketball team. He was at BLHS as Ana assistant for 4 years and was there during the All A title year and on. He was a Betsy Layne homer and a Updike basketball graduate. But they didn’t pick him as Coach Newsome’s replacement but instead took another assistant on that coaching staff to be the head coach who is now already gone from the program.
