It’s not a done deal yet. May be some surprises.

[ky playmaker]

yea everybody hearing valentine(LCA) now

[CA3]

I would think if Valentine wants it then it’s his.

[ky playmaker]

just announced its valentine

[blueandgreen]

What game were you watching?

The one where he was guarding Ramey, games aren't decided by offense alone.

[Strikeout King]

Bentley back out?

[blueandgreen]

Knew they would screw this up, had coaches with Division 1 experience interested and they still made the political hire. Good luck Reed Shepherd wish you the best of luck no matter where you go.

Don’t see this as a screwup at all, I think it has the potential to be a hell of a hire. Nathan is a really good dude, time will tell on the coaching side at North.

[Van Hagar]

Hamlin from Mercer Co. would have been the real political hire, he was connected to the Laurel superintendent.

[Intheknow2014]

Political hire? Please explain.

[Van Hagar]

One other thing, one of the landing spots that was always supposed to be in play for Sheppard if he left was Lexington Christian, coached by...............Nathan Valentine. So I’d say they are perfectly fine with this. You know somebody had to be hired that would keep Sheppard in the fold, so I’d be shocked if he left. Maybe if things don’t work out to their liking, but I would suspect he will be at North this year at least. And chances of him staying for the next four years just improved.

No one born outside of London Ky. can coach basketball?

Ok well then what’s your take on it?

[The Outsider]

Valentine was born and raised in Corbin.

[Northside pride]

Ramey was guarded by Isiah Alexander 90% of the game. Do you even go to the games? You seem to know absolutely nothing about what you are talking about in any of your posts. Sounds like somebody got their feelings hurt by North Laurel athletics!

It’s a known fact that this wasn’t the hire that some wanted. I do think it will workout in the end. Dude can coach and from the recent ex players I talked too they will love playing for him.

[9Lives]

Anyone can win who knows the game, works hard and has talent.

Who was the hire that most wanted? Not being a smart aleck, just not sure. Was it Marcum? Payne? Hamlin? Bentley? Someone else?

most I talked to wanted matthew daniel not one person I talked to mentioned wanting valentine although I think valentine was the best hire. I thought alll along it was bentley. brad was pe teacher and bentley is pe teacher was one reason bentley would been good hire too not a better guy around to have mentoring young men.

[ArJay]

So it’s not Bentley???? Ha ha. Sounds like both would of been good choices. Only joking because everyone said Bentley.

Team concept is the only concept. Last years group was more team oriented and they did well. Show Dog ball builds a name and stats, but they ain't no I in Team.
