For anyone attending a WCMS Pioneer or Lady Pioneer basketball game over the last three years, you couldn’t help but notice coach Isaiah Phillips on the sideline. He’s a very active coach shouting commands like a platoon sergeant on maneuvers.Next year, the consummate professional and snappy dresser who would look at home on any NBA court is going to be absent from Warren County Middle School basketball games as he has recently accepted a position as Franklin County High School’s head basketball coach.“It was one of the toughest decisions I think I have ever had to make,” said Phillips. “Over the past few years I’ve been contacted about jobs as an assistant coach and I’ve turned them down, but when this job came available where I could build my own program and be a head high school coach, I couldn’t pass up on the opportunity.”“Warren County has been my home for the past eight years and I want to thank everyone who has given me their support.
