Start winning some games at the Show and I will say this one or that is great coach.  Got to stop making excuses about the school sizes.  Maybe 14th region players just dont do what it takes to get better than the kids in the other regions.  Only got to put 5 out there at a time in basketball
basketball.  I dont think the school size matters that much.
I disagree. School sizes matters a lot. Check the sizes of the schools at the state tournament. Unless they are a private school that collects players from a wide area or a school that has some quality transfers then most of the Sweet 16 schools are 1000-2000+ in enrollment. It only makes sense that if a coach is at a school with 1500 enrollment that gives access to a pool of girls of 750 that leads to an advantage over a school with 300 total and a girl amount of 150 to mold a team from. This old “You gotta work harder and coach em up” or “stop making excuses” is nonsense. Small schools may have a few studs but the larger schools have a better chance of having more Thorobreds and quality depth. 
Occasionally we have our Milan, Indiana stories, or in recent years Paintsville and Shelby Valley, but it’s very rare. 
That being said I still love the no class Sweet 16 the way Kentucky does it. I’m happy with the All A Classic tournament for the small schools, and who knows periodically one of them wins the Big Show. Hazard’s girls won both All A state and KHSAA state in the same year about 25 years ago, so it does happen. But the odds are against it.
