Correct - you said nothing about the schedule, but you made the ridiculous statement that having a young team is a lame excuse for having a losing record. LCC was only blown out in 2 games this year. Corbin beat them by around 20 or 22, and KCC beat them handily the 2nd time they played. Every other game was close and competitive, including a 4 point loss to KCC in the district tourney.

Also - lets see - top of the district this year. Correct me if I am wrong but wouldn't top of the district also mean top of the region since most people have Knott at the top of the region.

Now having said this - Hammonds made a couple of mistakes IMO that cost LCC some wins. One was trying to press to much with this young team, and his choice for a point guard.

I guess we will have to agree to disagree. But I do know that 8 of his 17 losses were by double digits. And they were 2-6 in games decided by 5 points blame it on coaches or players not executing that is open for opinions.

I guess my biggest problem is getting rid of a coach with back to back district championships, back to back 20 games winning seasons and regional semifinals appearances. For a coach that led us to #4 seed in the district.

He is making over 70k to lead us to a #4 seed. He has very little involvement in the youth program and it looks as he has zero interest in staying around for long. This is more of a stepping stone for him to get another raise whether it be from Letcher County or whoever will hire him.

Of course that is my opinion only maybe the majority of the fans want him around for 3-4 years but he want to try some training in personal skill development or most fans will be tired of him quickly. Or at least start winning.
