[quote=warmachine]Well what kind of resume does Cavaughn Trent have?

1993 - All A State Champions
All A Classic All Tournament Team

Probably one of the best basketball players to ever play in the 14th Region.
6'0 - had about a 40 inch vertical leap. Probably the best pure jump shooter I have ever saw.
He has won all kinds of awards in basketball.
Played College Basketball at Alice Lloyd College, WHEN ALC WAS TOUGH!

Cavanaugh was one the best baseball players to ever play in the region. All Stater. About a 90 mph fastball. Could hit the ball a mile and play any position on the field. Played at Alice Lloyd College and made their Hall of Fame.

Cavanaugh is MORE qualied that Justin Amburgy ever was. He is more well rounded than John Kitchen. He is younger than Al Holland and again was a much better Athlete that Big Al ever was. Probably a lot better Athlete than Allen Hatcher.

Cavanaugh has a very good attitude and is one of my best friends. I feel like he deserves a chance just as much as anyone else does. I could sit on here and say good things about him all day long. Nobody can guarantee VICTORY at Knott Central. They are about in the same boat as Perry, Hazard, LCC, Buckhorn, and maybe a few other teams around here. It takes a lot of LUCK to win the Regional Tournament. A LOT OF LUCK. I think Cavanaugh deserves a chance to coach Knott Central.[/QU

This maybe the dumbest post ever on rivals. What does playing and espicially playing baseball have to do with coaching basketball? He had a 40" vertical, well im sold give him the job....he might have been a better baseball player than coach cal...give him uk's job......he might deserve a chance, but does he have to get his aunt to get it for him?? Hhahahahah:lmao:

Not quite as dumb as you thinking that Cavanaugh has an aunt in a position to give him a job anywhere. Get your facts straight.

I agree that the best athletes are not usually gifted with the most knowledge, however, Trent is the exception. His coaching resume speaks for itself. He has been a great asset to some of the region's best for many years. He possesses the rare ability of being able to connect with each and everyone of his players, which is essential in being able to succeed. His knowledge of the game is exceptional and his likability would enable him to surround himself with a great staff. Trent will make a great head coach and will build a program wherever he goes. The guy is a proven winner. Unfortunately, because his in-law (not aunt) is Superintendent, the ridiculous jealously is going to cause Knott Central to miss out on a great opportunity. Hopefully Amburgey is back at the helm next year to satisfy the Patriot faithful with another end of the year choke-job.

I remember a guy who was an assistant a few years at the mighty Horn (and they were mighty at the time, some of you from Knott should know that), then was given his chance with the Navajos. Nine regional titles and a few hundred wins later, he has made the best of that chance.
