According to the Fairland guy who told me about Speed leaving, that’s exactly what will happen.*

Heard yesterday the Spring Valley WV job will be opening this week. I assume this is Speed’s intended destination. Losing 5 seniors from a team that made the class 4A semis.

Interesting, WV high school basketball is very weak compared to Ohio.

Yes it is from top to bottom, but a few West Virginia year in out could compete at the Ohio regional level

Yes, but it is easier to win a state championship in West Virginia, even with seven divisions in Ohio. Obviously Kentucky has everyone beat with just one division.

Portsmouth Clay has hired Larry Howell (Portsmouth West Girls) to be their next head coach.

Howell was also the boys varsity assistant.

That’s a great hire. He did outstanding with the girls program at West and the cupboard isn’t dry there, so he must have a nice feeling about the Panthers future hopes.

How did he do at South Gallia I am generally asking because I don't know.

5 seasons. Won a couple of sectionals, reached a district final. Best season was 18-6.

A couple of bad seasons as well, can’t leave those out, but just looking back it seems like he did fairly well.

He did fairly well at South Gallia with a couple of down seasons. He always seems to get more out of his players than the talent he has surrounding him. Great motivator. I don't know what Clay has but he will make them competitive I am sure.

Exactly, you have to have players, of course great coaches can milk more wins out of less, but at the end of the day, you have to have talent. For example, Adam Cox struggled this year, I don't think he forgot basketball from the time he went to the State Tournament appearance to this year. Rick Uhrig is another example, although I would argue that his 7 or 8 wins this year with Huntington was the best coaching job in the area. Coaching "success" is so perceptual, look at just what happened at Meadowbrook, I think their coach had the most wins in year 1 as a head coach in school history, 3 years later and he is out of a job.

To be honest if I was coach shoemaker at Minford I’d think about calling it after this year. Probably one of the most successful coaches Minford has ever had in any sport, got to coach your son on the run of a lifetime, sounds like a story book ending to me…

Gonna be a rough couple years in Muletown.

[Hoopster98]

I'd say he is done. I wonder if they will open it up or give it to one of the younger assistants.

[E High]

If he’s getting out, he should do it in September so the clueless hiring process doesn’t happen. In September they’ll have to hire a current staff member.

Is Norm gonna stay on the saddle?
