I know Harold, great guy but don’t understand how the admin actually seen that as an option, let alone their best option. Great news for us but I wanna see all Floyd Co. Schools have some success. I mean we’ve seen Allen’s Dad mention on here he may not play, would bout guarantee this doesn’t get him excited, still say we getting one from them in next month

I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again: I have absolutely NOTHING against Harold. Love him dearly. He’s been a part of my life since I was in high school and continued that friendship throughout my adult life. He’s a fantastic person and I wish him the absolute most success. But this hire has nothing to do with him. My issue is with how the hiring process continues to go down with the administration at the high school. I really thought they were starting to understand things. I feel like the hiring of Bryce Tucker and Hager were home run hires. Young guys that care about the program. You could’ve accomplished the same with this basketball hire. There are younger guys than Harold that would devote the time to building this program. While I’ve said time and time again I’m not applying, a simple call to gauge interest would’ve been awesome. A simple call to Doug Hopkins or Brandon Gearheart would’ve gone a long way. But you had this decision in mind before you knew what Chase was doing. No one else was given a chance because the administration has already butchered basketball with the past hires. And that’s not saying the previous coaches were bad coaches. You knew both would jump when the right opportunity came along. Everyone knew this but Ricky paid no attention to anyone that tried to tell him. 

At the end of the day, this is going to set Prestonsburg basketball even further back. They’ll be lucky to have two returning players with not a lot of experience coming up. I’m just baffled and disappointed with this program and to be honest, I’ve lost any respect I’ve had for it and couldn’t care less if I ever supported it again.
