Has there been any word on who the new Boys coach is only 2 weeks away from starting

The AD said interviews start on Monday

It is really late to hire a coach. They knew Howie was leaving they should of had a coach in place way before now. Its not fair to the players or the new coach they hire. He will have a week to get ready before the first practice Nov. 7th.

Tell them to give me a call! I'm available and can start tomorrow.

Howie knew when to leave. I bet the basketball fund has a whooping 32 bucks in it like he left at Eastern when departing. Its ashame but when the cupboard is empty its time to move on.

Any word on who they hired or if they did hire yet? I would say the Lancers will surely struggle this year. They havent had a coach for several months now. I guess the school board/athletics director really cheated the kids on this one. I hope when they do hire its a good one.

Eric Mitchell from Nelsonville York has accepted the job.
Ironically his first game will be 12/5 against the Buckeyes.

Im glad Howdy's boy at Racine aint like Howdy is jumpin ship ever cuple years and he gives Howdy his yearly butt thumpin when they coach agin each other. I heerd ther aint no love lost at the holiday dinner table neither.

I don't think they are that desperate.

I just heard something happened after the game. Has anyone heard if something happened to the coach.

Yep.

I was told Joe Butcher will be taking over the team for the rest of the year.

I'm not 100% sure on that, but that's what I heard via the rumor mill.

He is taking it over.

Joe Butcher has been asked to take over the team after the firing of the head coach. The AD's hands her tied in the unfortunate situation. Good luck to the Lancers going forward.

Good luck to coach Butcher and the Lancers tonight.

Coach Butcher stepping in to help clean up this situation shows how much character he has and that he really cares about Federal Hocking Basketball. Thanks Coach.

Agree G W

How were his hands tied? He could have at least investigated the situation. Oh well, he got the coach he wanted in the first place, but he had to find a way to convince him to take it. Butcher should have just taken the job when first asked to, and they could have avoided this mess.

What is the situation? Why did they ditch the coach after one game?
