Lisa Douglas Wrote:Gary Knight was Paintsville basketball coach from 1961-1969/70. I guess this was during that time when Mr. Kimball thought Paintsville Basketball was "nothing".
Coach Knight took over from Coach Wheeler. After Coach Knight, I believe Dwight "orange head" Burchett coached a season. Not too sure who came after him, maybe Coach Wheeler again, but it was NOT Billy Ray Cassidy during the 70's. I know Coach Williams coached in the late 70's and Runyon beginning in the 80's. Perhaps Coach Cassidy came in the mid to late 50's.
I know, I know, this has nothing to do with Landon.. sorry Landon... Maybe someone will begin a thread for this other topic. I just had to interject my information.
Just meaning that they had not won any regional tournaments up until the mid to late 80's. I know they had some good teams in the 60's but that was just not the time when Paintsville was considered a dominant team. The statement was made about a rich tradition in winning, and prior to the late 80's that didn't exist, at least in the perspective of regional championships under their belts. Sorry, if I appeared rude in my commentary. Probably a poor choice of wording on my part. I apologize for that. It was hard for them to even get out of the district during that period primarily because of Wendall Wallen's Meade Memorial Red Devils. Was just trying to make the point that it took almost 65 years for Paintsville to win their first regional tournament. Hey it had to be a lot tougher back then to win a regional tournament than what it is today.


Coach Wheeler did again coach Paintsville in the early to late 70's, and coach Runyon, I want to say, began his career around '84.

I am sure that J.R. can tell us exactly the year by year breakdown.
