Roughly, Mark is staying at Pike County Central to teach, with no admission to the Basketball Program what so ever

He is a good coach but the reputation his 08-09 team gave him makes searching schools think less

Yep Dieb was a great player and with wright coach could have went to the next level to play for a big time college...Dieb reminded me of kid up north (Bud Mackey).

yeah i loved watching him play, fast, can shoot fairly well, played good d,and he could jump out of the gym, know i know dunking is a little bit overated but he was the best dunker in the 15th and when he did it, it gave all the players a lift and they played like they were capable after he threw one down with authority......he has told me before that he was going to try to walk on at eastern....i wish him the best

what ever Mark does good luck to him. Mark is a great person just needs to be in a school where the kids and parents listen to him and are behind him. His system calls for a diffrent type of athlete then we offer here in EKY.
