5. Herron

I also think Chris MacNamee is kind of getting overlooked here.

Outside of Dixon he is about the only "somewhat young" Coach in the Mountains who has coached a ring onto his finger.

Chircio and Haddix haven't even made it to the Finals yet. No denying they are top tier coaches who built their programs, but I haven't seen MacNamee mentioned.

Obviously if age wasn't a factor Haywood, Hilton, Matney, French, Hines, etc would be in the running. Dixon is not a spring chicken but I still think he has 10+ years in him for sure and the drive to start a program from scratch.

Also Shawn Thompson would be on my list but Wayne County is not in the Mountains.
