Smith and Haddix are hands down 2 of the best coaches to ever come out of eastern ky, however lets give Larry French some credit also. Took over the Boyle co job in 2008 after they just had a 5-7 season and second round exit in the playoffs for the second year in a row under Chris Pardue. And year 1 they went 13-1 only losing to eventual state champs in the semi finals. Then the 09 and 10 season where undefeated back to back state champions. Also he's 3rd all time in the state when it comes to wins. And for anyone that wants to say it was chuck smiths left overs he won with doesnt know what they're talking about. Smith had been gone going on 4 years when French first arrived and Boyle wasn't Boyle for those 3 seasons coached in between Larry and Chuck.

Love the post.  But did Smith come out of EKY?  He's a Louisville native.  Did he coach any in EKY?

I get what your saying. Boyle is in the middle of ky but i considered it to be more eastern than western ky.

Central Kentucky is really its own entity.
