First it’s coach hill didn’t have talent to work with so he can’t win at Eastern. Then its he’s got talent now so he’s got a winning season. Then it’s coach hill was a great coach and Eastern sucks at everything except baseball. So you all saying coach newland sucks too? Coach Parker. Coach mummey. Coach brothers. Coach fogle who takes male athletes to state. Coach Simpson who coaches with hill and light with a B-BALL iq better than both combined. TATE athletes who quit under hill program. Meanwhile, look at the rankings. Meigs isn’t doing any better than Eastern. Both ranked fourth. Meigs did cancel their game this weekend because of ‘snow’. Only meigs couldn’t play Friday, and it is ironic their leading scorer is hurt..... and couldn’t play Saturday because coaches were out of town...
Maybe a few people who never had a kid play for hill like him. But there is still issue at Meigs that was the same at Eastern. Ask around. Not just one parent several parents and players didn’t like his coaching style. An earlier post said he couldn’t connect with players and that’s a fact. Same goes for at Meigs. But Meigs isn’t doing any better nor eastern doing any better... yet. The only difference right now is, Eastern doesn’t cancel for snow or coaches being out of town. That’s not on the players. Both schools have quality players. Stop being a grown man with your feelings hurt and get over it. Everyone sees this for what it is. What exactly has he proven he can do with ‘quality players’ get the same record as Eastern?
Barringer just hit 1,000... but Eastern has no quality players.... Facemyer his 1,000... no quality players. Going into the second season with the best record Easterns had in years. It’s ok that kids don’t respond to him. Some aren’t at Meigs either and never will. This wasn’t a one year issue. It’s been several. But that is long gone now. He’s at Meigs having the same record as Eastern with their new coach. So morale to story... Just move on and concentrate on your new team. No one really cares about this thread that’s stated a lot of truths and a lot of stretched out bent backwards lies because at the end of the day, it won’t change a thing. It’s seopreps, not the gospel.

Parents can blame coaching all they want, but the players just haven’t been there for a while and it’s evident in their performance. Still no tournament wins going on 7 years. Coach Hill has proven what he can do when he does have a couple real playersBallboy wrote: ↑Sat Feb 08, 2020 12:48 pm Been a long time supporter of Eastern. Unfortunately it’s parents like Girlbye who are making it tough to keep or attract quality coaches. Believe me she doesn’t speak for all the people at Eastern concerning Coach Hill or for that matter, all the people at Meigs! She just thinks she does! I would have loved to see her and Howie Caldwell go head to head because he wouldn’t have given her the time of day! Eastern’s boys teams have NOT been strong all the way back to Daschle Facemyer! That is why Howie left. He saw the writing on the wall and went where there was more talent. Nice kids but not very athletic! Mommy and Daddy might not like to hear that but true story! I’d like to wish Coach Hill and Coach Kite the best of luck at Meigs and Eastern because with parents like Girlbye you need it!
Wow thanks for giving me all those great examples to back my opinion! Coach Mummey, Fogle and Newland are good coaches!
Let’s start with Newland: went 19-31 his first 5 seasons coaching, didn’t have a lot of great players(during the time hill was coaching basketball same years (2014-2018) This last season when his class of kids matured and with some falloff of other teams in the league he was able to take that team to the playoffs.
Coach Mummey: fantastic coach and person. Starts the wrestling program. Never had much success as a team because next to none of the kids he coached had any prior wrestling experience, but after a couple years under Mummey improved enough to compete and some even excel in wrestling.
Whenever the talent is there, Fogle is able to get it out of them and take kids to State.
That being said, coach kight wouldn’t have won any more games with the kids hill had than hill did. And I believe that, had hill not been ran off, this years team and the previous years team would’ve won more games than they did under kight.
