  • Drury says coaching All-Stars was great, tiring experience

    Glen Drury knew how big the challenge would be when he accepted the job of coaching the 2011 Kentucky All-Stars.


    That was back in the fall of 2009. He knew it would require that he work as an assistant coach to Mike Listerman, then of Covington Catholic, last summer before being the man totally in charge.


    And he also knew that the Indiana Class of 2011 was loaded.

    When one takes a look at Jason Booher's meteoric rise to the top of the high school basketball coaching ranks, it is hard to imagine his first game with everything riding on it.
