He (Coach Noble)is not going anywhere, the board members know his son is going to be one of the best basketball and football players to come out of the mountains in a long time. I think that is why Letcher was hoping they could "conveniently" leave Breathitt and be hired as an assistant in football and basketball their.

Hall may go to Estill, but Tiller will not be coaching in the near future, maybe after some time off, but not in the next couple of years.

I can see Hatcher leaving Perry with all the talent they have leaving, but a new coach would have a great class coming in.

Fraley will probably leave, and have heard Coach Holland is interested in the job at Knott along with additional funds from the new sportsplex they have their as well.

To TheMasterpiece and bobcatbball: My comments on Noble were in reference to his building of a competitive basketball program at a football school. I was not referencing current achievement but simply referring to past success and the potential for future success. Thus, you both have good points and it seems like Noble’s best years may be behind him. This brings to question why Estill would desire Noble or a member of his staff. If Breathitt is currently having so much difficulty, then there would be no reason for Estill to hire Noble or his assistants. If they can’t win at Breathitt, a school with comparable population and district opponents to Estill, then it is doubtful they could win in Irvine. No disrespect intended for anyone.
