If there's a "most" correct answer to the question, this is it.

A competitive Central is good for the district and region, but he has a lot of work to do, and not just at the HS level.
From what I've observed, their youth leagues, across several sports, are very disorganized. They need a bottom to top redo.

It was definitely true. Don't remember what paper it was in, but there was an article talking about the students that followed him there.

Told yall that when his name was rumored in the mix that if yall actually get him, Im taking the bet that Union High has its 1st state title in the next 4 yrs. Hes that good of a coach and people back here in the New River Valley & Roanoke Valley are well aware of it. The noticeable differences in the first 3 games will be on offense with the screen game to supplement the run and far less personal fouls/foolish motion penalties which are a reflection of discipline and focus. He's much better in these 2 areas on the field than the previous Head Coach

It’s not the first time players have followed a coach to a different school. Didn’t a handful of Richlands kids go to Honaker with Coach Lowe, albeit he was assistant at the time? 

I heard he was released from the hospital 2 days ago.

Well, have you tried to put a cat in a bag 😂. 
 
Call me old fashioned but I like those no nonsense old school type coaches who stress fundamentals, hard work, and respect. 

He was verbally rough to the players and when some parents confronted him, he let them have it too. So they ran to the school board and got him removed.
I'm not certain of anything physical, but those parents would have deserved it. 

Wasn't he fired originally for slapping a parent when he was at Kelly. If true, that makes him the most respected coach in JJ Kelly history. 

Yep! I don't think they even bothered putting that cat in the bag! Lol

Glad it is improving, continuing prayers for this young man.

Wcyb did a little article on it. He's continuing to receive treatment, but is improving.

Is Central into recycling like Tazewell? If they have a former coach who led the middle school team to an undefeated season one time, they might have their guy. 

I’ve heard a lot of the players are excited to have him back but after last season they’d probably be excited whether it was him or Deacon Young. Hopefully, it works out for the players’ sake. As you stated, they deserve to be successful. 

I don’t know the details, but a factor has to be “who would want this job?”. You, Union guys are blessed with the talent, tradition, and system the community has worked together to offer. 
Tazewell is likely limited to “a Tazewell guy”. As far as talent goes, someone will probably have to identify a potential group to get things rolling. I don’t know anything about that, but like most communities, they seem to have trouble fielding more than one team in the feeder system.  Combining that level of talent, local politics, and competing in the shadow of Graham is a monumental task. 
Good luck to them. Despite my loyalties to Richlands, I hate to see anyone struggle with years of turmoil to mediocrity at best, especially seeing Richlands work to crawl out of the depths. Every community has some good kids and people. 

I don't know the ends and outs of Tazewell Co politics, but this doesn't seem like a popular hire.
I've not seen too many instances where a repeat hire has gone particularly well.
I do hope it works out for the kids though. They deserve to be successful.

Imposter!!  Probably a guy in a suit.

I've had 2 towers and 4 laptops over the years, and that's something I've not transferred over. Add in a handful of thumb drives.
Gimme a few days and I'll see what I have.
 

I was thinking that was week 4 for Sommer reason. That’s better. I can skip the Rv demolition of Central that week and go see Graham and Union. Then see the beavers and pack the next week!

After the initial rush of information, things have gotten very quiet again.
I do keep hearing that B.I. Salyers, currently at RC, will be assisting.
