Maybe someone should talk to your athletic director to see if he could help get all of the coaches to agree to share players and encourage the kids to play multiple sports.


Ooops......... I forgot, he's your basketball coach isn't he?

Maybe they should talk to the AD!

BMR is a great coach and he did well as football coach last year, not only in results, but in getting the players out. But he has had a time controlling the players on the Tiger Basketball team, or so it would appear. I can't blame him for not coaching football and basketball this year because you can't do both justice as I said before when he decided to become football coach for last year. He is very good at both, but it is hard to do both, at least now days. This is especially true when you are trying to groom a very talented basketball team and get them to Rupp. As for Pugh, he is a great athlete, both in basketball and football (and baseball). But for whatever reason, there was friction between some of the players last year on the basketball team, Pugh included. If he doesn't play basketball, and I am not saying he shouldn't, it may end up being for the best or it may not. Whether he plays or not, the basketball team has got to have chemistry, cooperation, and team work to win. And the players need to be fully committed to their roles and the team concept. If they don't then they will not get their trip to Rupp.

As for some players not playing football, you can't blame them if they choose not to play or to just play one sport. But if there is something else going on, then that needs to be looked at. But anyway, all football teams have their down times, and Paintsville will be okay.
