it 6,200.
Michael McCormickGUEST
They changed the rules this year, the KHSAA did, as far as the range of yardages that you can set courses at.
Michael McCormickGUEST
I want to think that last year it had to be set at between 6,500 and 6,800 yards, but now they've dropped it back to it has to be more than 6,200.
Michael McCormickGUEST
So I think they're going to play Hidden Cove around 63 or in change, which at the end of the day, it's a fair golf course, which as a coach, that's all you want is a course that rewards good shots, it punishes bad shots.
Ed MorrisHOST
Coach Bob's a legend for sure.
Ed MorrisHOST
When he retired, he's fourth on the all-time Kentucky High School Athletic Association wins as a coach.
Ed MorrisHOST
He finished 317 and 115.
Ed MorrisHOST
But the big thing, as we were talking before the show, is everywhere Bobby went, he turned around a team that had not won.
Rick DottilloHOST
We complained the whole time because we didn't have an accurate roster.
Rick DottilloHOST
And, well, we won't talk about the KHSAA new scoreboard.
Rick DottilloHOST
And how horrible it is.
Rick DottilloHOST
They had a whole year.
Matt JonesHOST
Ryan, I will defer to you, as you call him Mr. Julian Tackett, sir, to talk about his reign as the head of the Kentucky High School Athletic Association.
Ryan LemondHOST
He is Mr. Julian Tackett, sir, and forever should be known as that.
Ryan LemondHOST
Him and Butch Cope have both been there at the KHSAA for over 30 years, helped it grow into this g- large entity that has, has added sports and built new facilities.
Ryan LemondHOST
It's just been amazing what they've been able to do, both those two guys.
Ryan LemondHOST
But, uh, I was kind of shocked to see them both announce that they're stepping down at the end of this school year.
Matt JonesHOST
All right.
Ryan LemondHOST
Julian was just, you know, he was in, he was in...
Ryan LemondHOST
My love for the KHSAA, I grew up in the high school athletic world.
Sam GormleyHOST
This has been a, been a couple of weeks, so I know they've been making a lot of progress on that area.
Sam GormleyHOST
Uh, for high school sports, there was some big news that happened yesterday for the KHSAA.
Sam GormleyHOST
Julian Tackett, the commissioner, who's been the commissioner forever, as long as I can remember, uh, he has announced his retirement.
Sam GormleyHOST
Uh, he is-- I guess he-- It's-- Wow, it only says he's been the commissioner since twenty ten.
Sam GormleyHOST
I would have thought it would have been longer than that.
Sam GormleyHOST
Uh, but began working for the KHSAA in nineteen eighty-four.
Sam GormleyHOST
He was just the seventh commissioner in KHSAA history.
Sam GormleyHOST
Will it-- He-- It says he will retire effective later this school year.
