i know that we did not have a good experience with ben at sv, but maybe he deserves another chance, who knows. maybe he will do things a little different back at pikeville. i think hillard is a little afraid right now since that is still in the minds of people and that is why he is not so excited. pikeville cannot get those kids they were getting before because of this new reciprocal agreement. guess we will find out just how good this coaching staff really is next year. i am from sv and we still have that bitter taste in our mouths. but like in every new coach, you will have to give him some time. no one can turn a program around in a year or two and believe me, it is going to take some work to fix what is there. it all started when they got rid of some of their coaches in the lower end of the program some years ago. now that has to all be fixed also. i used to be a big hillard fan until he started hopping around for the money. i guess he had done all he felt he could do at pikeville and decided to just make some money in his decling years. he used his influence in recent years to place and replace some people that he will have to think about for the rest of his life if he has a conscience.

Sounds like a bunch of sour grapes to me. Ben is a few years older now and much wiser. Definitely ready to be HC. Sit back and watch all the good things he will do at Pikeville. As for Hillard, HazzBeen already gave you the answer.
