South making a habit of getting upset at the arena.

Wonder if anyone is upset with coach.

Past 2 years they have had the best player in tournament.

I could be wrong but I would sincerely doubt that this is the case. There's a difference in having lost after you've taken the team to State a handful of times and took them as far as the semi-final in one of those trips and having lost when you're still trying to get over the hump of just getting there. The Saturday morning of the State Tournament type runs rightfully earn you some goodwill with most of your fans. South Laurel is still probably the premier job in the 13th Region in my book. Nice student population, good local support, strong tradition, don't have to worry so much about competing with other sports for your best athletes in the way Corbin, Bell, or Harlan County may have to with football, your town has more potential for growth than most towns in the region (whose populations seem to keep declining). There is a whole lot to like about that job.
