Elizabethton Boys Coachless Again!

[Bluengoldblood]

Lucas would definitely do a great job there. Great knowledge of the game and he would definitely do a good job relating to the players. He took over a very talented group of girls this year and was able to meet expectations by winning the sectional, with only one close game all year. Hire him and you're set for quite a while. Will his youth be a detriment in terms of what the athletic dept./administration is looking for? Do they want someone with varsity experience?

Depends on the man in regards to age and having varsity experience. Look at Coach Carp here at Cloudland, been the head coach two years and been to the state turney both of em'. If a guy can flat out coach, his age shouldn't be an issue imo. (oh, and stay the heck away from Carp! )

Going to take someone special to succeed at ol' Betsy. To much politics and to much concern about trying to keep up with Science Hill. Anybody with sense would stay away from that place.

Very good point, but you know how some places/administrations can be. I agree that some guys just have it, and you guys definitely have a keeper with Brandon. I'm always impressed with how hard his teams play.

Would any coaches leave their current schools? Ryan Arnold from Boone? Justin Penley from Uh? ANY chance John English leaves Unicoi County? Heard he may be getting out there.

Can't imagine Coach English leaving Unicoi, being the middle school principal and head coach unless it was a place that could offer a significant pay raise (Johnson City, Kingsport, Bristol), but my guess is his blood bleeds blue and he's a Blue Devil for life. Ryan Arnold and Justin Penley are very interesting choices...have they applied or inquired about the job? Betsy would be a great place for a young coach with all of the talent coming through there. Have they set a timeline for hiring the coach?

Was told last night that a new coach will be announced tomorrow. From what I hear it's someone from out of state. Hope the poor guy knows what he's signed up for...........

Coach English wouldn't leave Unicoi to go in conference. NO WAY

Penley would have been an interesting choice.

If I was on the search committee I would be going after Coach Penley and/or Coach Arnold if there was any chance they would come. Coach Penley teaches outstanding fundamentals. His teams will often win on this alone. He plays a slower game and feeds the ball inside. Coach Arnold is a players coach. His players play hard and in return gets to play on the offensive end. His offense would be perfect for the talent level at Betsy. Both would take Betsy to the level of play wanted.
