West Jessamine job?

HollaBack · 05-15-2009, 11:09 PM

I still can't believe coach is leaving Polson. West is in one of the weaker regions and West will have a chance every year to go. New coach will have a very good shot first year to make state tournament.

Who are the frontrunners or is the job already guaranteed to someone?

This would be a perfect job for Eddie Whitaker.

What kind of program did he run there?

Eddie has been Head Coach at Whitesburg and Bell County High Schools. He would be an asset to any program.

Has been assistant to Coach Holland at Hazard the last two years. His son is an incoming Sr PG this year.

Eddie runs a clean program, loves hard nosed man to man, but is smart enough to realize that a high school teams talent does not always match what you want to do. In other words he adjusts to his talent, a very good coach

Sounds like a Quality coach

mountain hoops guru · 05-18-2009, 11:54 AM

would be tough for him to leave a good program that has another shot at going to the state tourney for the 3rd year in a row, but he is wanting to coach his son one more time I think. Big decision for him and everyone involved.

sure sounds like a lot of coaching changes going on in the state of Kentucky

Eddie will not get a shot at West. Too much history between himself and West Principal Jones who was the former Head Coach at M'boro. They have some bad blood.

**BlackcatAlum** · 05-25-2009, 11:22 PM

Are there any new updates on the coaching search? Is Polson possibly considering transferring?

Does he have bad blood everywhere in the state. I was told he has bad blood with Anna Craft who is the Supernatant at Letcher Co.

Problem with the West Job is available teaching positions...Math and one more, not sure what it is. May be awhile before it is filled.

Would be a great fit for Damon Kelley - former Lafayette coach. (math teacher). Outstanding coach and overall great guy.
