[-STAT-]

Landon Slone grew up either around or actually on Beaver creek and if I'm not mistaken he went to middle school at MCA in Martin, so that would be the only reason I can think of for him to be interested in the FC job, but he bleeds Paintsville blue so HC at Paintsville is likely his dream job. Floyd County BOE politics is terrible at the moment, so I would be surprised if he #1 leaves Paintsville, and #2 takes ANY job in Floyd county. If he resigns then I would wager that it's not because he wants to. If Paintsville forces him out then it would be just another brick in the wall of catastrophic errors in judgment by the AD at Paintsville. All of their athletic programs are trending downhill right now except for basketball, and that's mainly because Landon Slone is an excellent coach.

Yep, he grew up on right beaver, went to MCA his 6th-8th grade years. 

He grew up in Floyd Co but he made his mark at Paintsville, as a player and as a coach. 

I joined this site 20 years ago, was on it constantly for a good 4-5 years when I joined, as usual life and other things get in the way and completely forgot all about it as the years went by, and up until about this time last year when I seen someone post about it on Facebook, I honestly didn't even know it still existed. I've thoroughly enjoyed my time on here, tried to stay away from the drama on here, even tho I've dabbled in it a few times it wasn't by choice, got called out by a few coaches on Facebook recently matched my birthday on here with it on there, but it is what it is. But sometimes this site can really be a cesspool of flat-out bogus rumors, unnecessary drama, and just outright ignorance. I enjoy being on here, talking about the game of basketball more than any other, rather it be good or bad, I just call it how I see it. 

No need to hide who I am, only reason I know so much about Landon Slone is that I am his cousin, may know of a few on here that already know who I am and don't need the notice but for those who know me and didn't know who I was, hello everybody. I try not to show any objective bias toward Paintsville, I know I talked about them an awful lot on here during the season, but that's just bc I've been around the program, I know the expectations and I have seen the hard work & dedication put in by the coach and the rest of his staff, I wasn't choosing favorites every time I picked them to win a game, I just truly believed that they would win, things I said on here that may have been deemed critical, I'd say the same thing to coach whenever we'd talk after every game, which I didn't have to tell him anything, he would already know. 

Like I said earlier, I can't speak for coach Justice at Pikeville in that situation, as for Paintsville? Anything can happen, but coach has not re-signed as head coach, nor has any intentions to re-sign as head coach.
