Thanks, I really appreciate it. There are some on here, actually just one (Homer Simpson), who like to try and give me a hard time about anything that I say or anything that I support - check the thread on the history of the Paintsville Program to see one example. But, things like that do not bother me. Being respectful and civil is something that I always try to do. Opinions can be hard to change and people should realize that. That is what makes for good, colorful debates and interesting conversations!!!

J,

I always find it interesting that someone on the outside of the situation can have such a firm opinion on something. If people had any idea of the residual of affect of the things you learn when working with a guy like Coach Runyon every day, he'd understand, that it's no coincidence that his former players are his most ardent supporters.

Furthermore, people understand the weight of all the things beyond the on the court accomplishments and how those things, alone, draw a distinction between Coach Runyon and other guys. Throw out the fact that his on court coaching success dwarfs any 15th region coach for who knows how long if ever.

The only thing some represent is some cryptic veiled reference of some rumor they've probably heard that, just so happens, to be what they wan't to believe. At worst, a spinning of whatever actual events taht led one to act as if they are setting on the release of the sealed Kennedy files.
