With this loss does this mean that Pburg lost pretty much every player that seen any PT last season either to transfer or graduation besides Keathley? Does anyone else return that could help them besides Keathley? I feel bad for the new coach. Seems like he stepped in to a situation where he was 10 feet under water when he took the position.

Eh, the coach knew what he was getting himself into. What I find funny is the principal that put Prestonsburg in this mess bolted. Some of the influences into these coaching hires have bolted. 

Prestonsburg could’ve made a statement this past season by putting their foot down and made it a team environment. You want to build a program around a kid like Keathley because of his talent. However if that talent isn’t made to play within a system, you lose interest from kids that could’ve played. Now because things were allowed to go on the way they were, you’ll be lucky to have enough to field a team PLUS you likely lose the number 1 scorer in the state a week before school starts. 

Thacker had the opportunity to make a splash with the basketball hire when Parsley left but instead this is where we stand. A guaranteed sub-10 win season, a school without a principal, and a community that don’t even care if basketball exists.
