Johnson Central's new coach?

**Lisa Douglas** · 07-24-2007, 09:41 PM

This was a thread on JC basketball coaching position. It is now filled. I believe this one has run its course and a new thread should be started to discuss the new coach & his hopeful new direction.
If a new thread wants to be started to discuss anything other than that, I suggest finding the appropriate forum and letting it fly.
Again, good luck to Coach McKenzie.

Does anyone know who was named his assistants?

You hit the nail on the head Kimball. It's funny how some of our neighbors love to talk about the Johnson County BoE but when facts are stated about there own place they either disappear or they want the thread closed. I was always told that people who live in glass houses shouldn't throw stones.

From the way I read her post, she wasn't trying to disappear. She suggested closing the JC Coach thread sisne he was named and to open another thread to discuss the other matter. So state the real facts please.

Are you all talking about Billy Fraley??????

Watchful Eye · 07-25-2007, 10:11 AM

To comment on what the thread is REALLY about....the players at Central seem to be excited about Mckenzie taling the helm. That is good thing for returning players as well as new one coming in. Good Luck, Coach Mckenzie.

Good luck to McKenzie and the rest of the team!! Looking forward to an exciting season!

Live your Dream and remember you're helping others to live theirs! I know this means a lot to you!

I think that Coach Mckenzie will do well. You know BMR was about 25 or so when he took over 500 wins ago. Coach Mckenzie is young and talented. JC has always had good players coming up, but no Coach that really cares and can relate to their players.

Well were you? I think the two of us have traveled off of any road that this thread might have ever taken and I apologize to the other posters on this site about that.

Just please remember who was driving when it veared off the road. Big Grin

Thank you for recognizing the fact of it's misdirection, however.

Have they named assistants yet?

HomeGrown · 07-25-2007, 05:35 PM

you all are gonna have a field day when the assistants are announced. I already told you all there will be some more creek jumping!

Tommy was told that two certain people would be his asst. he had no choice. However he will be keeping two from the previous staff. Also one possible shocker, current head coach of another sport at JC! I'm telling you, BGR is about to go hogwild!

Tiger98 · 07-25-2007, 05:46 PM

Lets see......Coach Knott (was in the newpaper), Craig Ratliff, Danny Johnson and Ben Stephens....how close am I HomeGrown

For one, you definitely need to know the facts. Coach McKenzie did not take the job with any stipulations. He can choose whom ever that he feels is qualified enough to help him. Coach McKenzie will do an exceptional job with JCHS basketball program.

Pretty darn close!!!! But what do I know lol!

I hope with assistants on both Central and Paintsville's benches being from the rival schools that some of this hatred will stop.

Are you joking? Some people live for this kind of stuff.

I could have sworn by your posts the last couple of days that you might be one of those folk that likes to stir things up just slightly yourself. Smile

I say that Knott,Stephens,and Johnson will be his coaching staff. Do you think that is pretty close Eaglehoops? If not who else will or could it be?

Well, you know it isn't Matney because he couldn't lay the football down long enough, so let's hope it is Shawn Hall...that way the whistle will stay in his pocket!!!

I actually have real close friends at both school administrations and overall if they can keep politics somewhat out of it it runs smooth.
It's OK to question the coaches and even some of theses school boards political plays but when people do it just to degrade the kids then their IDIOTS!!!!

Looks pretty good to me. I talked to DJ yesterday and he still hasn't decided if he is going to coach or not. And Craig Ratliff is still up in the air.

Eaglehoops, you are clueless. You think you are in the know, but you really don't have a clue. You probably don't even know McKenzie like you think you do. Trust me when I say, It is not a matter of whether DJ wants to coach or not, it is up to McKenzie to decide whether or not he wants him too. At this point, I don't think McKenzie has said that. Also, Craig Ratliff is not even an issue. How did he get into the mix? I say, McKenzie chooses some good assistants based on people he can trust. Administration has had nothing to do with telling him who he has to take. He doesn't have to take anyone he doesn't want. I know Coach McKenzie and his wife really well and talk to them often. JCHS administration has more confidence in McKenzie than you know!
