Burchell is a very good coach and still knows the game better than maybe any coach in the region. Unfortunately, times change and coaches sometimes struggle with that.

I do not think a school system will be hiring a male coach who was fired with “allegations” and take that type of liability. The first time someone didn’t get playing time a parent would bring the newspaper articles back out.
That probably explains why they have been reaching out to people who did not apply trying to recruit a coach in. I have been told of at least 2 people that have been contacted and said “not interested”. My opinion would be to hire someone young that will build some excitement in Clay again. In all of my life I never thought I would see the day that Clay County basketball girls and boys would be in such bad shape. The biggest surprise though is that I’m actually sad about it.
