mscoach44 Posted March 11, 2010 Report Share Posted March 11, 2010 I'd say it's highly unlikely that all of the above mentioned coaches will even apply. And I would say it is highly likely many names not on that list will apply, especially from outside the system. Once it opens and we see who actually does throw their names in the hat, it may be a little easier to speculate. Although I do think that it will not be even close to clear until it is officially announced. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
uchsbball Posted March 13, 2010 Author Report Share Posted March 13, 2010 well it looks like the job is officially posted. who will the next locker room referee/parent mediator/pacifier/coach be? any new revelations or info? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lovebigblue Posted March 14, 2010 Report Share Posted March 14, 2010 Any chance at all Coach English would apply? I have heard he is considering it. Anyone else heard this or think it is a possibility? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

uchsbball Posted March 15, 2010 Author Report Share Posted March 15, 2010 As bad as I hate it, my guess is that we will probably end up hiring Kenneth Chambers, assuming he applies. Even though the baggage is there, he has proven he can win at a high level. Hopefully we can trust all of our elementary principals to disable their gym cameras during the spring and summer for him.

The obvious fact that just after dismissing him at Unaka, the same County placed him in charge at Hunter, where his team went (I think) 26-2. Simply put, Unicoi County would be replacing one great coach with another. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mscoach44 Posted March 15, 2010 Report Share Posted March 15, 2010 with one of those 2 losses coming to unicoi county if i remember correctly. and the other to science hill. and, just to clarify, that was the hunter boys. didnt he do hunter's girls this past year also? at least for part of the year?

krichunaka Posted March 16, 2010 Report Share Posted March 16, 2010 You were there, right? I wasn't, but I think Unicoi County and Science Hill, indeed, were the losses. Teresa Taylor was the Girls' coach. Kenneth helped as much as possible. It's worth noting that a few (and I think it was four) players from the 08-09 Hunter team, after Hunter was left, at least temporarily, without a coach, transferred and played at Unaka Elementary. As a result, I think Hunter started three sixth-graders, along with one seventh and one eighth-grader. Those Ladies finished third in Region. An outstanding job, actually, by Teresa, and to the extent to which he would accept credit, Kenneth. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mscoach44 Posted March 16, 2010 Report Share Posted March 16, 2010 yes i happened to be there that night....think the score was 29-28 vs. unicoi....positive it was a 1 point game and was early in year. i actually had a referee tell me later in the year about how improved hunter's girls were from the first of the year. was very impressed with the effort and execution of hunter boys the game i saw. only sore spot of the nite was the unaka high school junior basketball player trying to pick a fight with erwin 8th grade player after the game. i dont know kenneth personally other than thru coaching and some "old man" pickup leagues but he has had success and im sure that he will break back through at the high school level at some point. this could be it, if he applies, or it could be on down the road but i'm sure it'll happen. word is that a lot of local jobs, boys and girls, could be opening up soon. lots of opportunities on the horizon for local coaches looking to make a move.
