BENNETT'S MINUTES: Desire to be closer to home important factor for departing Tiger Cub boss
(High School Sports ~ 04/16/18)
Bradley Key did not have a burning desire to leave Greencastle, after nine straight winning seasons as the school’s girls’ basketball coach — a span that is tied for the eighth-longest in the state. However, the 32-year-old Alexandria native has felt isolated from his family members, many of whom are located two hours away in the Anderson area. When the Greenfield-Central position came open this spring, Key decided to pursue the opportunity at the Class 4A school located within 20 minutes of several family members. Greenfield-Central was impressed with Key and his record, and hired him on Friday as its third girls’ basketball coach in the last three years.
