Good news, and bad regarding the health of Statesboro High head basketball coach Lee Hill. The bad news is the legendary Blue Devil coach has been hospitalized since early June for COVID-19. The good news is he is in stable condition at East Georgia Regional Medical Center, and is not on a ventilator.Local social media sites posted incorrect information recently about Coach Hill, which sent family and friends into a panic, as they feared others may have information they hadn’t heard yet.“Our family kept getting phone calls telling us everything from that his condition was worse, to that he had passed away,” said Hill’s daughter Iesha Baldwin. “The public outpour of affection for my dad has been great, but the misinformation on social media has really gotten out of control.”According to Baldwin, Hill complained of nausea on June 11.
