Coaching anywhere with no HC experience is tough.He’s got the respect of those around the program. Thanks for the well wishes!

I see your point but if you knew Coach Hutchens, he will never take away anything from his players.  He won't mention it again this season and he wouldn't want a farewell tour.  I guess he thought get

Luke Smith. Graduated in 2017 from KCHS. Which makes him like 23 or 24 years old? Big job for a young guy, good luck to him and Irish basketball.

Seems like odd timing to announce right before the season starts.  Why would he announce now instead of in the spring?

After 40 years of coaching (33 years at KCHS) it seems to me that Coach Hutchens felt it was the time to announce it regardless of the timing.  He's more than earned the right.

No argument that he has earned it, but does not seem like him to take the spotlight away from the players and have a farewell season.  To be fair, I did not like that Coach K is doing the same thing this year at Duke either

I see your point but if you knew Coach Hutchens, he will never take away anything from his players.  He won't mention it again this season and he wouldn't want a farewell tour.  I guess he thought get it out of the way now so he can focus on the season.

That makes sense to me.  I wonder what the process will be like to hire a new coach.  Do they have someone in mind already?  Are they waiting to post after the season and do their search process then?  Will they hire an established head coach or a younger up-and-coming assistant who can stay for another 30 years?  Will be interesting to see what area coaches show interest.

I'm sure there will be a lot of quality applicants, in state and out of state. There are two long time assistants, both former head coaches, on staff who will probably apply as well.

May have to disagree Q. Hutch is already letting people know his boot size.... just in case.

      Clinton names new OC

      I have no issues with the Karns Middle School program.   Good coaches and he's with the kids he goes to school with.  He's a rising 6th grader who had to play with 6th grade kids last year because Karns didn't have enough kids for a 5th grade age team.  He's in a good place at this point.   My daughter is a single mom with 4 kids under 11 years old.  We help her out with logistics, so staying in our own area right now is important.  Once he gets to high school age, who knows what happens?  That bridge will be crossed when we get there.

      I know he was a backup but I thought he filled in well when the starter went down. Never a bad thing to have a change of pace back

      That would be a good get for them. Lowe always finds a way. Pretty sure they have their Rb from last year returning but not that line of beef

      One school has said it, it was York…who Oneida and many school that played them before we did claimed that they were the dirtiest bunch they’ve played. Riverside didn’t call us dirty nor did smith after they beat us. Ur only dirty if your the one giving out the whoopins.

      If it was anyone but #8 I would agree with you. Theirs a couple people on that team that probably would. Not him. And I who was standing on the 1st base line fence saw clearly that the boys foot was covering more than half the bag.
