ThePiedPiperOfBrentwood Posted June 2, 2015 Report Share Posted June 2, 2015 (edited) Sad but true. As one poster noted after the championship game this year, he deserved to hoist a Gold Ball before he hung it up for good, but such is life. Brentwood associate head coach (and de facto interim coach) John Boucher will be the leading in-house/King coaching tree candidate, but BHS principal Kevin Keidel will likely reach out to LaVergne AD/boys basketball coach Jeremy Moore and Mt. Juliet coach Troy Allen to gauge their interest in the job as well. Edited June 2, 2015 by ThePiedPiperOfBrentwood Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LoveForTheGame Posted June 2, 2015 Report Share Posted June 2, 2015 John Boucher would be a home run hire but with him being non-faculty, can it happen? What team camps is Brentwood attending this year and on what days? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What team camps is Brentwood attending this year and on what days? It's possible, but as you note, the politics of hiring a non-faculty member as a full-time coach at TSSAA public schools is often tricky. Brentwood will likely be attending team camps at Belmont, Lipscomb, and Western Kentucky this year (basically the same as last year's summer slate), but considering King just announced last night, things are still up in the air a bit.

LoveForTheGame Posted June 2, 2015 Report Share Posted June 2, 2015 Will the new coach be named after team camps? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ThePiedPiperOfBrentwood Posted June 3, 2015 Author Report Share Posted June 3, 2015 Will the new coach be named after team camps? No telling, really. My gut feeling is that Keidel is going to take his time to interview quite a few candidates and do his due diligence on this hire. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LoveForTheGame Posted June 3, 2015 Report Share Posted June 3, 2015 No reason to hire anyone but Boucher, in my opinion. Unless, as stated earlier, being non-faculty keeps him from getting hired. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ruppsrunt Posted June 3, 2015 Report Share Posted June 3, 2015 (edited) King and Brentwood were perfect for each other although he seems to have more of an urban school type persona...reminds me a great deal of Jimmy Adams...still I don't think anyone could have accomplished the things he did at the school. My understanding he was a great teacher in the classroom as well. Edited June 3, 2015 by ruppsrunt Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ThePiedPiperOfBrentwood Posted June 3, 2015 Author Report Share Posted June 3, 2015 King and Brentwood were perfect for each other although he seems to have more of an urban school type persona...reminds me a great deal of Jimmy Adams...still I don't think anyone could have accomplished the things he did at the school. My understanding he was a great teacher in the classroom as well. He leaves behind a great system to those familiar with its nuances and a robust coaching tree of assistant coaches and program acolytes who have coaching experience along with former players. But yes, he is certainly irreplaceable in his own right. He is a great teacher and, as one other poster on here has occasionally mentioned, a solid songwriter. He has been the head of Brentwood's English department for quite a long time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LoveForTheGame Posted June 4, 2015 Report Share Posted June 4, 2015 He always said "for a songwriter, I'm a pretty good basketball coach" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
