Is it not fact that he has choked away a few games over the past few years, more than most of the other coaches he was nominated against? Look through this page - I have complimented Haywood multiple times. He's better than a lot of coaches in the state. What else do you want me to say? I don't think it's your memory that's the problem as much as it is elementary reading ability. My argument is not about him being a bad coach, not winning enough games, etc. My contention, had you paid attention, is about him not having the resume to beat these other coaches out on the nomination list, which no one is yet to prove. He shouldn't have beat our Mueller, Beatty or Skroggins - any of the three of which you can provide a legitimate argument for winning. And now, he's going to win the region over coaches that are more deserving.

He has lost two games he was heavily favored in. One was a bad loss to a Breathitt team at home they ha dno business losing to. The other was to a Central team with 5 D-1 players on their roster competing in 3A for the first time that have since went on to only lose one other time to 3A competition.

Everyone knows this contest is what it is..nothing more than a popularity contest.

But the definition of the best coach isn't only about "Championships" and there is absolutely o denying Haywood's overall resume warrants him being in the company of these coaches to be considered..especially if one way to view coaches is simply on the results they have garnered given the resources at their disposal. A point several Belfry fans made to you but you chose to dismiss.

Our collective view of what defines the best coach is a collage of different factors, but it's not for us to say our view is the only correct one.
