Greatest assistant coaches NEVER to become a head coach

**Captain Backdoor** · 10-07-2010, 01:20 PM

Since LWC started this in the Football forum, I thought I would start one in the Basketball forum. Who do you think is the best assistant or staff member that has never been a head coach?

Clay County had a guy named "Red" I believe that was with Coach Bobby Keith for many years. He was on the staff through all the glory years in the '80's and '90's.

Roscoe coached two teams to the KHSAA state tournament. He was head man at Danville, and later at Breathitt County, when they won the 12th and 14th regions, respectively.

He was assistant at SL when they won all those straight regions, and assistant at KC last year. He played at SL the year before they won stats when they first started their reign at going to state. He then went on to play at Union.

I'm still saying Clifford McIntyre
He's coached Football, Basketball, Middle School Soccer....everything.
He's a good one-on-one basketball player too.
He can't beat me or anything....
but he's pretty good Wink

The guy has put his time in that is for sure. I'm sure his chance will come soon. Has he ever applied for a HC position anywhere?

I hear he's weighing his options but hasn't applied.
His got a baby boy to take care of now and I'm sure that's his top priority Wink

Clifford Mcintyre.. hmm.. isn't he the guy that likes too shoot the 3 ball in the leagues around here?

If so, he got completely shut down in the last league hahaha.. Just kidding Cliff, had to give you a nice roasting.

Oh, That is great too hear, nothing like having a baby boy to see grow up and play sports but If Cliff did apply would he ever consider leaving Perry County?

No idea.
Picking up and moving or giving yourself a big commute to work is a tough decision and coaches around here do it all the time to follow their dreams.
I have a lot of respect for people that can do that.
I had a chance to move to Florida for a pretty awesome job once....
I didn't end up getting the job lol
but it would have been a hard decision to make

on the kid thing though.
Maybe if you hold JC back a year, Cliff's son could be a part of a starting 5 for a basketball team here in the mountains.
I may not be too far behind lol
I'd have to okay that one with Mrs.Zaga-fan though Wink

Uhoh haha.
Seriously though, Cliff is a good coach and deserves an opportunity to be a head coach one day.
