I noticed on football head coach George Taylor's profile that he is now the "athletic director/head football coach" and the employment section no longer lists the AD job, the boys basketball job or the asst. principal job. So it appears that all have been filled. By whom? I have no idea. Quote
Guest mrtomcat Posted July 1, 2021 Report Posted July 1, 2021 WHO is this new basketball coach at west hardin............inquiring minds would like to know Quote

His record can be deceiving. It was a hot topic on here a couple of years ago. I would think that’s a step down from Hardin to West Hardin???? Quote
Cherokee88 Posted July 2, 2021 Report Posted July 2, 2021 Not sure on all that, but I do remember him beating east chambers & kountze while he was there. Quote

Cherokee88 Posted July 2, 2021 Report Posted July 2, 2021 According to maxpreps its looks like it was the 2017-2018 season, l believe that lions team went to the regional tournament. Quote

I think a little looking into the victory over EC is very revealing. There were numerous technical fouls issued against EC in that game which just normally doesn’t happen. Coach Sutherland runs one of the most disciplined programs in the area or even state. I think there were even some suspensions for the officials after that one. The guy may be a good coach but his record looks a little deceiving with multiple victories against Fred Good Samaritan. Still not sure why West Hardin would be a better job than Hardin. Looks like a downgrade from the outside Quote

Looks like a downgrade from the outside This is my question, especially since Collins is from Hardin and seemingly took the job at "home" to settle in for the long haul. Hardin obviously wasn't too keen on keeping him since they stepped aside and let him walk away. If it was a money issue, I'd assume Hardin would be able to match or best whatever WH was offering. Something smells fishy here. Quote

Something smells fishy here. You guys are forgetting who you're talking about. This is Hardin. A place that has brought Larry Haynes back only to fire him again, after he turned the program around within a year. It dont matter who they hire, they dont win and never will win for the long haul. My point was, Collins whether with the help of refs or not, beat two programs with "hardin kids" when they are supposed to lose by 60 points to everyone in the district. At least WH makes the playoffs 4 of last 5 years and has a shot at competing. Quote

They have had some really good basketball players over there in the not to distant past. I would go out on a limb and say there’s as much basketball talent in Hardin as there is in West Hardin Quote

(No offense to West Hardin I’ve had a lot of family graduate and go to school there over the years) Quote

There's not one unless I have fallen on my head. Not in the last 10-15 years at least. Quote

Are you familiar with the name Reescano? There is talent in Hardin, sure as hell more talent than there is in WH. Surely Collins didn't burn a bridge in Hardin, his hometown, to go to WH and lose in the first round of the playoffs every year. Quote
lsutigers20230 Posted July 13, 2021 Report Posted July 13, 2021 Hardin let him go, they did him dirty. Collins is a heck of a coach and west hardin got them a steal !! Quote

I think he chose to play college football instead but Daniel Marsh could have certainly played college basketball. I have gotten out of touch with the Hardin basketball community but I have to believe there are still Reecsanos and Randolphs over there as well bleacher_bum 1 Quote
