Henderson County High School girls basketball coach, Jeff Haile, announced his retirement on Thursday, April 20th, after 37 years with the program.
Haile began his coaching career at the high school in 1986. His teams compiled an 821-240 record, winning 25 district championships and 19 regional championships. Coach Haile’s teams advanced 6 times to the state semifinals and 4 times to the state quarterfinals. Haile amassed 27 twenty-win seasons in his career, and his teams never finished with a losing record during his career.
Coach Haile was inducted into the Kentucky High School Basketball Hall of Fame in 2022.
HCHS Athletic Director Mark Andrews said Haile has positively impacted the program over the past 37 years. “I’ve known Coach Haile for about 25 years. What he has done for the girls’ basketball program at Henderson County High School is nothing short of amazing. He has instilled the qualities of dedication, determination, and positive character in hundreds of student-athletes. His high expectations have created a culture that is respected throughout our community and across the state. He has been a great mentor and friend to me.”
