In another thread it was mentioned that the Bidwell River Valley boys basketball job is once again open. Any takers on going through that revolving door next?

I think the parents should choose this time since they seem to always want to run the current coach out of town.

This all goes back to the fact that they should have kept Coach Hill. The grass is not always greener. He was a long term guy.

The recent coach ran himself out. You've got to conduct yourself like a decent human being on and off of the court. When a players family is affected, or basically broken because of a coach's actions, he coach has to go, despite the fact that he does know basketball.

I agree !

How much has the RV administration and board changed since 2013? Same people, or a few new ones? (Not being critical, just genuinely curious).

They need to hire a coach that will start players just because their dads and brothers were good players. That's what one old fart said about football. I won't name the old buttsucker cause he gets a red azzs when I do.

It's definitely true. I read in the paper that the basketball coach did indeed resign. On to the next one....and in 12-24 months it'll happen again.

They need a long term guy.

Why ? I know ! I still think RV is up and coming ! Good Luck!

Who you calling buttsucker?

I wouldn't exactly call the team from this year "up and coming". More like not very good and likely more of the same moving forward unless the kids start putting in the work and they get a stand up guy who is respected by the kids, but also builds relationships with them.

I would have to agree with you. I only knew of a couple of kids from last years team that actually put in a lot of off season work. Besides watching the JV/Varsity last year I was able to catch a couple of jr high games. Was not impressed wit the 8th graders at all. 7th grade was pretty good but I just heard their best player transferred. So not much of "up and coming" in the program other than the Lambert boy.

Yes they need a coach that can build relationships not strain them but who would want this job knowing the coaching history.

Anyone know of any applicants?

Who knows who will apply for this job. I'd imagine the only people who will apply will be people who are looking to land their first varsity job.

I'd be interested to know that myself.

I'd offer it to Loveday's dad and see if you could get them to come back to the good guys. I think they live in the country school system area. Note: I have no idea who Loveday's dad even is or if he could coach basketball haha

Not sure, but TR is still the principal.

Who is the AD? Does the AD actually have a say in who they hire for the head coaching jobs?

I don't see anyone on the current staff back. Could one of the Gallia Academy assistants come over to RV?

AD is Richard Stephens and I think he does have a say.

Jeremy Hill is the man for the job
