If you want a job coaching basketball in Smith County, you need one of two things.
1. Strong ties to Pickett County or Director of Schools. (Preferably both)
2. Tennessee Rush coaching tree
Long term programs don’t just magically appear. Administration, alumni, and the community have to buy in. Good luck having that when you cycle through coaches lol
To clear things up.. it appears this had been in the works for quite a while. Even with losing a region semis game that was in the balance up until the last couple of possessions. I'm not sure that a substate appearance could've saved Trey. And I believe someone has already mentioned it but it was 100% a be fired or you can "retire" situation.
