I like Brad Short and would love to see him coach somewhere again one day. At the same time upon looking at the KHSAA site, in 8 seasons as a high school coach, 4 of them resulted in losing seasons. This past season though was his best season record wise going 17-12.

He lead Allen Central to a great upset in 2015 when they beat Betsy Layne in the first round of the District and he did get them back to the Region Tournament the last 3 years they were open, so he did better than Mark Martin had done, but the Rebels were still a far cry from the days of Johnny Martin.

This past year was Betsy Layne's first year with winning record since that 2015 season. They beat some quality teams out of region in Wolfe and Knott County but couldnt get it done in the District Tournament. I believe he should have gotten another year but the powers that be wanted Newsome and they got him. I hope Derrick does great at Betsy Layne as I'd love to see them competing for District and Region titles.
