Grayson County is having a hard time adjusting to playing down in Class 1 basketball. They've gotten smashed the first two games out of the gate. Need to find some more homeschool kids to rebuild, I guess.

Tommy Tuberville? He keeps showing up where no one wants him, maybe this is his next stop.

Non-district scheduling is something that generally gets agreed upon a few years in advance. Those Giles, Fort Chiswell and Grundy matchups would have looked very different 4 to 6 years ago when the conversations likely began for these series. 
But please, keep showing us just how little you actually know about the process. Which is sad for someone that is supposed to be a coach. 

It's actually pretty common for public-sector interviews to take place even when the hiring party already knows the eventual outcome. Public-sector interviews are a requirement to meet state and federal law. 
Why interview if you know someone else will ultimately be hired? One never knows what may happen down the road. Make a good impression in the interview and set yourself up for a possible return in a year or two if the situation changes. In the late 90's, I interviewed for a position with a multinational full service engineering firm based in Norfolk. Even though they were a private company, they had to meet state had federal guidelines for public-sector employment based on the military contracts the company held. They knew who they were going to hire well before the interview process began. I went in knowing I wasn't getting the job but decided to put my best foot forward anyway. I was young and could use the interview practice and experience. Four days after the interview, I got a call from their Roanoke branch asking if I would be interested in relocation. I spent the next 8-years there.
Dress for the job you want, not the job you have!

The good news, it's Billy Bob Thorton!....

...The bad news, it's not the version Richlands was hoping for.

Just trying to get your name out there and show what you know for Coordinator positions, or just staff positions, maybe someone will remember you for the next open HC position, for interview experience(what kind of questions will they ask, who will be in the room, etc.), maybe the interviewees feel that "those in power at Richlands/TCPS believe they have their guy but just wait til they get a load of me! Ill blow that other guy out of the water" or maybe they think those bunch of dummies on the sports forum don't really know what's going on and are just gossiping. Btw, I've heard that they have their guy (idk who, and wouldn't say on here if I did) and I am in no way connected to Tazewell County or Richlands.
Typically the powers that be have a coach is in mind before firing the current one. Coach Tarter took on what most people knew was gonna be a bad situation to try to get the program through it as best he could for a few years before stepping down and riding off into the sunset (just to be looked at by history as a coach who did a terrible job - thats what the record book will show). No offense to him(who made a pretty big sacrifice for R) but those powers in charge probably had the next HC in mind when Tarter took the position, id guess at the latest had the next guy in mind before this season started, and at the latest had the next guy lined up by midway through the 2023 season.
Hard to keep a secret that long, word gets around.
Ive applied and interviewed for a lot of jobs that I knew I wouldnt get, got several calls and at least 1 job offer from those applications and interviews. 

All it takes is for 1 person on that interview panel to like a guy who isnt the chosen one and remember him. Who knows where that guy from the interview panel is at in a few years. We see Administrators all the time who move and then bring guys along with them.

Riverheads has mastered finding the opponents weakness and exploiting it. Adjust to what Riverheads is doing, they make a slight adjustment and take right off again. Relying on Riverheads to make mistakes is a fools errand. It's not going to happen. Too well coached and far too disciplined. CCC will be the best player on the field, in my opinion. Yes, that includes Clark. Just look at what CCC did to Kam Robinson from Essex last year. Robinson is now a 1st Team Freshman All-American at UVA. 

This works in the real world but not in Tazewell county's political machine. It's been like the old saying, ("It's not what you know, but who you know"), for several years and more than likely will continue.

Imagine if they played in class 2 like the VHSL said they could!
I agree with no "district" and drawing athletes from anywhere they should be forced to play in 4 at least. 

Freedom Woodbridge, AKA the DC Transit School. Lots of kids taking public transit out of DC to Woodbridge to play sports. Amtrak station is a little over a mile from the high school with a bus waiting to pick them up.
LCA playing Class 3 is as absolutely as ridiculous as John Marshall playing Class 2 basketball.
