BigStud Posted February 23, 2006 Share Posted February 23, 2006 Eric Goetz. 4 starters lost from last year. Argubably one of the top teams in NKY. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
83birds Posted February 23, 2006 Share Posted February 23, 2006 Willie Schlarman without question. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigStud Posted February 23, 2006 Share Posted February 23, 2006 Willie Schlarman without question. Why without question. HHS is 20-5, HC is 20-6. HHS has everyone back, HC lost their core team outside of Steeken. Plus Goetz beat Schlarman heads up. Without question is a little bold. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BigStud Posted February 23, 2006 Share Posted February 23, 2006 Buddy Biggs I was thinking 9th region, but if Pendelton is in the mix. Buddy wins hands down. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seriously, I believe that Highlands has played a pretty tough schedule of which only five were at home. Think this speaks volumes IMO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EQUUS GREVYI Posted February 23, 2006 Share Posted February 23, 2006 Some things are so predictible that it makes me chuckle. I would not be so bold as to list one deserving coach but would think these deserve recognition; Mike Herald at Beechwood. Yeah, Romes is a stud but he has gotten contribution from the other players to make a strong team where there was nothing before. David Henley at Holmes. Easily the toughest job this year and many BGPers still like them to win the 9th. Jim Hicks at Conner. I saw them at the beginning of the year and they were awful. They have developed into a team that could win the 33rd and make it to the Regional. Aric Russell at Newport. Has done a great job in not the easiest situation. They could very easily beat NCC (possibly HHS) and make it to the regional tournament as well. Willie, Erik and Coach L (Biggs & Code if including them also) have done a great job but with a great deal of talent and support. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Other than Vories, I'd consider the rest of them as average players who worked their tails off. Sorry respective players and parents thereof but it was intended as a compliment. I think Willie deserves the nod for taking a bunch of average players, devising a system that they can be successful in and getting them to get the maximum amount out of their talent.

Pendetlon and HC lost alot from last year, for both teams to have the records they do speak volumes. 2. Holmes was suppose to win this year, they had the most talent. If Holmes till wins region with the loss of Greg Rice then I agree with you. 3. Newport in most pre-season polls was predicted higher than HC, and most thought was the most talented team outside of Holmes and CCH. So I don't k now how this coach even gets mentioned. 4. I'll agree with Hicks I think year in and year out he is in the elite group of coaches in the 9th and I do think they are starting to gel. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mack The Knife Posted February 23, 2006 Share Posted February 23, 2006 If we are going to include Pendleton, then I will cast my vote for Gallatin Co.'s Jon Jones. The Wildcats are 17-8 despite having only 1 senior. His rotation also includes 3 juniors, 3 sophs, and 2 frosh. Gallatin also is small, has no consistent three point threat, and are dreadful at the foul line. They also have a heart that could not fit into most gyms. They won the 8th Region Class A, though most thought they were a year away. They have lost only 1 game they "should" have won, a 1 point road loss last week. The most telling stat is they are 14-3 in games decided by 9 points or less. That, my friends, is no accident. That points to terrific coaching.

malachicrunch Posted February 24, 2006 Share Posted February 24, 2006 Why not wait a couple of weeks. Districts and 9th Region Tournament will greatly narrow the list we're looking at now. If any of these teams gets bounced in district play do we still proclaim that coach, "coach of the year"? I say no. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ironlung Posted February 24, 2006 Share Posted February 24, 2006 Division 1- Mike Listerman (He has a lot of talent but he's still produced. Sometimes I really think it's tougher to coach a lot of talent because of egos, parents & playing time. He seems to keep everyone happy & still win) Division 2- Willie Schlarman & Erik Goetz ( Both have done tremendous jobs this year with better than average talent but not great talent. Probably the two best X's & O's guys around) Division 3- Tony Bacilgalupo ( Walked into a tough situation and has done a great job. I really think he'll be at one of the major schools one day. All he needs is experience & he'll get all he wants at SG) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
