Former Maysville Bulldogs basketball coach Lyle Dunbar passed away on Thursday

Former Maysville Bulldogs basketball coach Lyle Dunbar passed away on Thursday. He was 90.

Dunbar, a member of the Kentucky High School Basketball Hall of Fame, was the coach at Maysville for the 1974-75 season.

He came here after coaching at Scottsville. Dunbar told me in a 2011 interview he was going to retire after the 1973-74 season, but while he was working as a tobacco adjuster and attending a tobacco meeting, he heard about the opening at Maysville, applied and got the job.

Dunbar started three freshmen—Cere Myrick, Eddie Davis and Tim Gilbert.

The Bulldogs lost to Fleming County in the semifinals of the 39th District Tournament and finished the season with a 14-13 record. 

Dunbar took the coaching job at Christian County in 1975 and led the Colonels to state runner-up finishes in 1976 and 1979.

The gymnasium at Christian County is named for Dunbar.

Dunbar was a three-year starter at Kentucky Wesleyan and was a teammate of 'King" Kelly Coleman.
