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.

If it's not about winning championships, then what is it? Should every school shoot to go 13-2 with a loss in the state title game? Doesn't sound attractive to me.

Don't get so sensitive..I was kidding with you. I like when you are on here..you certainly keep it entertaining and get people involved. You obviously know your stuff or you wouldn't troll as successfully as you do..just figured I would give you a little real debate for once instead of people threatening your life and saying how they were ignoring you.

Also Mueller cant help he plays Harrison just as Belfry cant help they play two of the teams you chose to list.

Not a problem, I state facts. So do you, I'll admit. Some people can't deal with them. I enjoy the debate.

On a serious note Haywood is very deserving. Stated simply , no, Belfry is not as good as Highlands but that is not because of the coaching or even the feeder systems. It's the talent pool pure and simple.

Russell has a JFL system that is much like Ft Thomas and has been in place for over 4 decades. While that consistency helps it still comes down to the Jimmy's and the Joes.

All of the Kentucky coaches who were nominated were deserving and I couldn't argue against any of them. I think the fact that coach Haywood's and Coach McGlone 's longevity and amount of respect they have built up across the state, not just in their communities, is why they were far and away the top two in the poll.

How many titles does Russell have? How has the feeder system worked for them?
