I don't think any of you have mentioned who will get the job. "Politics" will definitely be in play. SlamaBamma you are good for a lot of people's egos.. Birchfield a Basketball Genius? The only person in this region who could be considered a "great authority" on basketball just retired. (BMR). I really think you have to pay your dues in order to become a head coach. I think counties who look at coachs with little experience always end up having problems. The most difficult thing a coach will face in Pike County is the politics and parents. I really question how important it has become to win and build a winning program at a school. It takes time and it is amazing that Pike County would not want to try to continue that success. Kids are resiliant they will recover and play for whoever. It will be important who ever gets the job to continue building their feeder programs and not let 1 or 2 of the better players "defect " to that up and coming program in their district...
