Reported to me the head girls basketball coach resigned. That would be #4 in less than 4 seasons. What is going on in K town?

  • Yes. And now Driscoll. They haven't done a very good job of hiring I would say. Not void of talent either, so I'm not sure what else to say about it.

  • Not a good job of hiring what kind of statement is that? They have hired every coach that was willing to come.

    Kennett District Superintendent Chris Wilson said Driscoll resigned for family reasons, as a result of a decision that would take him out of the area.

  • A story on the late breaking development is available at this link: http://www.dddnews.com/story/2139452.html

  • Yes, when you resign (wink/wink) you do move your family out of the area.

  • Driscoll ' s fiance was recruited and accepted a position as a director of nursing in Florida and he felt he should go to also to help raise his soon to be stepson. That's the story I got from a player but not sure of the details.

  • And you 'resign' a few days before Thanksgiving break? My daughter, player said. He was not playing the right middle school girls and 'fear' set in that he would do the same with the varsity. You do know NOT to mess with the 'social' structure in Kennett....don't you?

  • There is a lot of truth, unfortunately, to what you say littlechief, but that had nothing to do with Driscoll leaving. They must find someone that will stay and build the program. This is 5 coaches in 4 years now. Bad situation.

  • Can you handle the 'truth'? All were forced out.......Wait for it.

    The 'new' hire will make it blatantly obvious. You just can not mess with the ''Kennett' playhouse. If you doubt me.....look at who stays and who goes.

    Jordan Penn is the new coach.

  • Now we should have the 'right' coach that will play and promote the 'right' girls. And why was the asst. coach removed, too? Take a look at MoSports.com to get some facts as to what has happened routinely the past 5 years.
