AHScoach 2 Report Share Posted October 12, 2015 I am sorry if I seem like I am venting, because I am. Abingdon High School has yet to find a Boys Basketball coach and we are three weeks away from the start of practice. Keep in mind the kids did not go to summer camp and have had no fall open gyms. I have no connection to the program, but I truly feel sorry for the kids. I guess that gives me incentive to not quit coaching. They may not find a replacement for a year in my sports.

bucfan64 307 Report Share Posted October 12, 2015 According to administration, several individuals have been recommended for the job, all recommendations have been squashed by board or members thereof. This past week, another name was brought forth, but I have not heard anything else. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AHScoach 2 Author Report Share Posted October 12, 2015 Yeah I realize there have been two that were recommended to the SB, but both were not accepted for justifiable reasons. We are all hoping that we can get the coach in place for the student-athletes. I have heard a few different names at school, but I guess we will have to wait and see.

cityofRaven 2,443 Report Share Posted October 21, 2015 Seeing as the guy was very young it doesn't seem like there wasn't many options. Maybe I'm wrong... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GMan 3,569 Report Share Posted October 21, 2015 Pretty sure Hubbard applied for the Richlands job when it was open, too.... cityofRaven 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cityofRaven 2,443 Report Share Posted October 21, 2015 Pretty sure Hubbard applied for the Richlands job when it was open, too.... Fair enough. I would just think the powers to be in Abingdon would be above hiring someone so young. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AHScoach 2 Author Report Share Posted November 2, 2015 Fair enough. I would just think the powers to be in Abingdon would be above hiring someone so young I don't understand why comments like this need to be made. We had a tough time finding somebody to take the job, but I think he will do a fine job. We were going to struggle this year anyway. I hope this year will be used to get our young talent ready for the future. I'm confident AHS hoops will be alright under Hubbard. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
