“Billy Hicks is the quintessential Kentucky basketball story.”

Billy Reed, Hall of Fame journalist

“A lot of people think I’m a Central Kentucky guy. My roots will always be and always have been in the mountains, and I’m really proud of that…. These wins are for Kentucky and high school basketball. I have always loved Kentucky high school basketball, and once I started coaching it, I never wanted to do anything else. These wins are for everyone that has ever been a part of my life.”

Billy Hicks Following his 1,000th win

“Billy Hicks is the greatest coach in the history of Kentucky high school basketball, and he was an even greater man and friend.”

Ken Trivitte Chairman of the Board, KY High School Basketball Hall of Fame

“Billy is one of the finest men I have ever met and a fantastic coach. We need more men like him on this Earth. He truly is the epitome of a great coach and an even greater human being.

I’ve been around the game of basketball in 90 countries and all 50 states; I have seen and coached against just about every coach out there.

If you asked me to name my starting five coaches, Billy Hicks is one of those five, and I include professional, college and high school coaches. Top 5, easily.”

Dale Brown LSU Head Basketball Coach, Retired
