"Coaching at Adair has been great 99% of the time. Leaving South Warren and coming to Adair County was (the) best decision I have made personally. Having moved quite frequently since (I was) a kid, Adair County is where I consider home and is home to my family. When people ask where I'm from I say Adair County. My oldest son graduated from here and I anticipate my youngest son doing the same.

We have had a lot of success while coaching at Adair, but the success is a direct result of the support by the administration, co-workers and the community as they have all had a major hand in the success in many ways including donations to the programs that allowed us to get equipment to train or the unbelievable fan support."

"My favorite moments of coaching at Adair are the obvious ones winning and I think making Adair County a state program again. When I grew up in the late 80s and 90s (I) lived 200 miles from Adair County but it was a program that (I) was aware of from their success then under Coach Young for a decade plus. Coach Fudge had great success and made (the) state tournament twice, had (a) winning record at the King of the Bluegrass and multiple players known statewide.

I think just overall getting Adair County back to that recognition again statewide is my favorite moment cause if you go anywhere in the state and people ask where you're from and when say Adair County a lot of the times I have heard they will reference the basketball program."

"I'm not sure, I don't want to say I am retired because I get irked when athletes or coaches announce retirement but then 5 years later pop up again. I'm not going to say I am retired because I might decide to coach again, maybe soon maybe a while from now or maybe I won't in general. I think that outside of winning a state title, my staff, players and (myself) have (done) all we can at Adair County and when it comes to coaching, you can stay at one place too long.

I have been here as head coach ten seasons, and that's about the max I feel a coach can stay in place before their voice becomes stale and new leadership is required. I don't see that I personally can guide the Indians to anything more than we have accomplished already and I feel that it is best for another coach to take over and try to deliver the school its first state championship. I will find a different challenge to take on sometime if it is coaching again at a various level, or another role or if it (is) another field I get involved in. I will see what happens and when as there is no time frame.

As of now I plan to watch my son play his last two years of high school at Adair County if he chooses to and just be able to be a parent and enjoy watching him play rather than being coach all the time. I can still take him to the gym when he wants to go with me but (I) can also let him enjoy playing for a different coach and hearing a different voice, cause it has been mine for him since he was three years old."

"Like being able to duplicate or having a better run than we have had at Adair would be almost impossible for myself to accomplish, the same will be of a new experience.

I have been in multiple school districts so (I) can compare and I can say athletically Adair County is second to none with the support from administration who give you any affordances possible to be successful because they want to be successful.

The community and fan support has been unbelievable as our road games we usually have more fans than home teams. The school spirit has really increased the last few years and it's something to be proud of."
