Sure sounds like sour grapes.

Hatcher has won 663 games in his career...including a WV state championship and 10 KY regional championships in 20 years in KY


I would rather have a boring winner than an exciting loser, ANYDAY.

You might but after watching it for awhile I would love to see how you feel. Before Hatch I too would have agreed but it got to me. for me and alot of others he ruined watching our team play. It just was no longer any fun and I have been going since I was a little kid but stopped. Not completely but I stopped making most of the games only going to a few a year the last few years. I learned from this that winning is not as important as I had believed it to be. The Graves fan base in recent years has declined at a alarming rate and some of the kids that would normally play have elected not to play and the reason for both in most cases was Hatcher's style was boring and no kids didnt enjoy playing this style. It was a real shame, Graves has what may be the states premier gym and it use to be at or near capacity all the time now its a quarter to half full. Alot of folks here are excited he is leaving.
All that being said I have to say again that he is a great coach and will get lots of wins and his style allows him win even with inferior talent. He will have the most disaplined team you will see and if the opponet makes any mistakes he will capitalize. He won a ton of games with inferior talent because his teams were so disaplined and prepared. If he gets a lead on a dangerous team look out, his teams are masters of holding the ball and he is not afraid to do so for quarters at a time if it benefits his team. Good luck guys, it looks to me like this is a win, win for everyone involved. Graves was ready for a new style and coach that will livinin things up and will likely not be as successful but should still bring back the fans and PCC is getting a guy that has won everywhere he has been.
