[Slim one]

I truly believe that Coach Noble was honest when he said he had to put family first. After all it's a business and you have to take "promotions " when they come along. Leslie showed they were prepared to win any bidding war. Nobody ran him off. He's being smart with opportunities.
As for his replacement? I thought you could count out a couple but now I'm not sure about that. I think Breathitt will end up with a top notch coach. Credit to the administration for taking it seriously and putting the program first.

i've always been a fan of coach Noble, so this isn't a criticism, but he's taking over one of the worst teams in the region in a district that includes Perry and Hazard. He's also leaving the team that would have likely been ranked No. 1 in the region next year. He always does very well with underdogs, as he proved at Buckhorn, but it's far from a slam dunk as far as a smart move.

Guess it depends. If you're a young coach trying to pad your resume you're correct. If you're on the last few years of your career? You pad your retirement account. Or, maybe for some other coaches considering Breathitt it's about legacy. They will end up with a top notch coach and Hoskins isn't going anywhere.
