While we are talking about coaches how about a little 13th region history. Being older than than that commode at Campbell Field, I've seen a lot of history.  What former 13th region coach was arrested ON THE COURT and taken immediately to jail???

 Didn't Billy get arrested way back in the day when he coached at Evarts? Thats the only one I can think of but I don't remember any happening on court lol. Enlighten me

Happened in the semifinals of the Mountain Classic in 1988. Clay Co. v. Buckhorn.  Buckhorn was having one of its best seasons ever. Clay was the defending state champs and were 19-1(I believe) and #1 ranked coming into this game. The Tigers had just recently won the LIT. Clay led by more than 40 points with a little over two minutes remaining when the sh!t hit the fan. A backup guard by the name of Terry Gray was in the game for the Tigers. He averaged, maybe a couple of points a game.  A Buckhorn player shoved him him the back. Gray shoved back, and a scuffle ensued. Benches cleared, fans ran onto the court(I was at home in my living room), and there was a big scrum on the court, with players and fans from both sides.

An off-duty state trooper by the name of Woods, I think, was attempting to restore order and get everyone off the court.  After order had been restored, somewhat , Bob Keith, who was pissed that the off-duty cop had run onto the court , and was still hot about it,  yelled at Woods. Woods took offense and forcibly arrested Keith on the spot for disorderly conduct and interfering with police action. Bob was taken immediately to the Knott County jail, where he remained until later that night.  Keith's arraignment was Monday morning in Knott County. Prosecutors decided to drop the charges, thus ending the criminal matter.

Clay won the game by almost 50 points. Buckhorn went on to advance to the Sweet 16, where it played a good Cov. Holmes team down to the wire, earning the respect of fans all across the Bluegrass. The defending champ Tigers, advanced to the title game of the state tournament , where it was thwarted from becoming back-to-back champs, by Allan Houston and Ballard, losing 88-79 in OT.  Richie scored 51 points in the title game loss to the Bruins.   And now you know...  THE REST OF THE STORY .  ---OSH
