The "Dean" of SEOAL Coaches

[Tucker]

If I'm correct and I believe I am... Ironton has had 7 coaches from the time " OZ " took the Gallipolis job..
Dick Myers, Paul Aikman-(1 maybe 2 Yrs. ), Buddy Bell, Phil Rice, Chris Barnes, Roger Zornes, Mark LaFon....Phil Rice would be the only one out of this group that had all his wins coming at Ironton

[Raiderball]

RV - Jenkins, Wolfe, Layton, Stout, Hill
Jackson - Fisher, Burger, Hodson, Gillespie, Bornhorst, Potter, Layton, Bowman, Ford, May, Hurst, Jordan
(I think Burger was the coach at Jackson when Oz first went to GA)

[moonshine]

They need to name Gallia's new gym The OZ!

[tubby]

Raiderball...didn't Jackson have someone between May and Jordan?

[moonshine]

Logan has had at least 8 head coaches since Gallia hired The Oz!

[moonshine]

I would love to see GAHS honor two men by naming the court after one and the gym after the other.

Jim Osborne and John Milhoan.

gahs4ever, help all of us Who is John Milhoan?

[seofan_via_dublin]

Mr. Milhoan is awsome!!! Best sub teacher I ever had, and host of one of the best hawaiian slide shows you'll ever see.

Plus a whole bunch more stuff relevant to basketball, but I'll let one of the GAHS old timers fill in those blanks.

Jackson - Burger, Hodson, Gillespie, Bornhorst, Potter, Layton, Bowman, Ford, May, Jordan

Raiderball, you forgot Hurst between May and Jordan. Jackson = 11 coaches during his tenure.

[BBallin fool]

Mr.Milhoan is in a class of his own.

[Hoppy]

500 wins at the same high school.

Bob Arnzen Delphos St John's
Tom Petty Bloom
Bob Haas Willard

Portsmouth coaches
Bob Doll, Dick Hopkins, Tom Smith, Sub, Hallen Hatcher, Mike Haley, Jim Rhea, Rick Hopkins, Josh Shoemaker, Gene Collins

[avalanche]

Even more impressive are the coaches who have went on to have great careers after starting under Oz.

[trojandave]

Coach Osborne is one of my favorite people in all of high school basketball.......his longevity at GAHS will probably never be matched by anyone anywhere ever again.

How many years has Gary Shaffer been at Washington Court House?
He and Oz are in a league of their own.

[Pol pot]

Coach Shaffer has been at Court House for 39 years and is closing in on 600 or just passed it.

McAfee did 35 years at Athens and finished with 571 wins

Larry Jordan has 37 years (with several off) around 580 wins

Hoppy you need to add Shaffer and McAfee to your list of one school I believe.

[theassassin]

i might be wrong but did shaffer coach a few years at cross lanes christian near in wv

[buzzerbeater]

Not quite 500 for Haas at Willard. Overall yes. 441-75 at Willard in 22 years.

[GalliaGrad78]

Mr.Milhoan is in a class of his own.

I wholeheartedly agree!

[fulltilt]

How many coaches in Southern Ohio have State Championships ?

[jottings]

Dave Fisher was head coach at Jackson when Oz took over at GAHS.
