Thank you for making my point. It kinda brought a tear to my eye, talking about everyone taking paycuts because they care. Care about what? If it is the kids they care about then why dont they take thier expertise and teach at the lower scoring schools. Now that would really impress someone. As far as your indexes go, they are often manipulated. I will tell you one index I would like to see; the average income of the parents of your students compared to the rest of the county(s). By the way; I know what contiguous means, not all non-Paintsville people are dumb a _ _ _ _. I have had several educators tell me that the scoring system is a joke anyway. I'm not buying the "smarter kids only go to Paintsville" argument. So, finally the real issue comes to the top-its just a Paintsville thing. You have to be born in it to understand it. So there you go, an opposing view to the kingdom. I wonder if anyone else has the guts to speak thier opinion.

Here's another view from outside the "kingdom." I wasn't born into in but I do understand it. Actually I'm from another state so I can have an honest opinion about it. I know I'm also new to this site but I guarantee I've watched more basketball games than you and if you think there is a better coach than Coach Runyon in the 15th Region then you don't know what you are talking about. Yes there are other very good coaches but they just don't compare. 24 years? Almost 500 wins at a small school. You stated in an earlier post that the best coach gets the most out of his players when the talent is not there. I will guarantee you that no matter how much talent Paintsville has every opponent knows they will have their hands full because no matter how much talent Coach Runyon has they play their butts off and are always a threat to win any given night. The more appropriate question should be who is the second best coach in the 15th Region?
