With two or three powerhouse football schools, Highlands, Beechwood, and even Holy Cross with their recent football success having head basketball coaching openings what does the incoming head coach of each program have to do best in order to build a successful (Winning) program? And at what level do we call success, NKAC title, district titles, region titles, etc etc?

Where I'm from, it's region titles that are the measuring stick.

I agree Spindoc, but two of the three forementioned schools are in same district as Holmes and Covington Catholic. Tough for them to even get a sniff of the region once a decade!

Then it would stand to reason that it would be tough in the district as well. Still, seems that region titles are the gold standard when checking a coaches resume'.

I feel as a new coach I would need to make basketball more appealing to the younger students in the elementary and middle feeder schools, and get them playing organized ball for my program, not just AAU, etc. Build an in house program that gives the younger players exposure to the coach and his staff, so they want to play for him when iit is time!

True, I can only think of 4 current 9th region head coaches with region titles. Booher from Holmes, McQuery from Boone Co. , Chevalier from Dixie, Faust at St. Henry. Flynn just retired, and Eric Russell (Newport) is now in the 10th. If that was the only gold star on coaching resumes, it would be slim pickins around here!

 

If I missed someone, sorry!

I agree with all of this. Especially in the 9th.

The basketball coaches at Beechwood and Highlands will have to take a lesson from the football guys on how to 'acquire' talent. LOL. Just kidding....

 

Regional titles are what matters. Recent history says FTH and BW have a limited chance while HC has competed recently with the 'additions' of outside talent.
