I bet it is Paul Raines, Jeff Robbins and Kettle who knows. IMO not a very strong pool, i thought they would have had better apps.. Randy Frazier is better than these guys. WHy was he not interviewed?

Not a very strong pool? Seriously?

Do those guys have the resumes of Chuck Smith, Beatty, Mueller, Haywood, etc.? No, but neither does the other 99% of the coaching world.

Paul Raines has won everywhere he has been. Everybody over this way knows he did well at Hazard, then he went to Montgomery County (who had become a doormat in the early 90's) and built them up to a very strong program. If memory serves me correct, Montgomery County went to the state Semis in '95 and were region finalists in '96. When was the last time before then that they had been that far? I know they havent been that far in the playoffs since.

He did very well at Madison Central and took LCA over in the programs 2nd year of varsity, only to win a state championship with them in 6 years. Private school or not, that is unreal.

Jeff Robbins started out at Adair County, a program that has had maybe a handful of winning seasons in the schools entire history, and he had two of them in his four or so years. Then took the Marion County job in '04, who had been a bottom dweller themselves, building them up to a state semifinalist in '09. Have they fallen on hard times the past two seasons? Sure. What "county" school doesn't at times?

Sounds to to me that those two alone are a very good names for this job.
