This is getting comical:biggrin:Not as if GC needed any more help at being the laughing stock of the state when it comes to hiring a basketball coach.:lmao:

A laughing stock that should have never been. The answer is simple, if GC wants a winning basketball program they know who they need to get, but I really believe they don't want it. So GCHS Basketball will go on and win the occasional district, but I guarantee they'll never make it past the regional. It takes a big game coach to make your way to Rupp, and GC hasn't had that in 10 years.
I think some people believe that it was easy to win at GC, because Ward did it so often. Rex Cooksey stepped in with the best talent in the 16th Region in 2001 and couldn't get it done. Hicks, had his time and won his one district title, but nothing more (Granted he had adversity, but Ward survived 20 years of that). Leach, no comment needed. Fraley, who I thought would put GC in a great position is in a mess that I don't completely understand. Look at the track record of the others post Ward (2 District Titles, 0 Region Titles, 0 Region Finals).
GC will languish in mediocrity and the people who complain the loudest seem to never speak up when it matters, speak up people if you want the program to return to what it should be.
