Per Rick Broering, Conner has replaced Jim Hicks (new AD at Conner ) with Matt Otte as the boys varsity head coach.

 

Matt was the head JV coach at Covington Catholic for the last 5 years.

 

Seems like a really good hire. Best of luck to Matt.

Saw one of the candidates last night and he was saddened he didn't get the job. Good luck to coach Otte.

I know a lot of the parents and players are glad it was not the other candidate.

1. I don't believe that's true based on conversations I've had.

2. Cheap shots on a message board are unbecoming. We should be better than that.

Your not the only one that has had conversations with parents and players. Didn't realize my comment was a cheap shot.

I think most would read it as such.

New era for Conner basketball. Otte will have a nice pipeline of talent to develop and work with.

Never was meant as a cheap shot. Just saying what I heard from numerous parents and players. Believe me, that the majority are glad that an outside candidate has been hired and not the same old same old at Conner.

Cool

Scott Davenport ‏@Bellarminehoops @Bluegrasspreps Played for Bellarmine my first 2 years. he will do a GREAT job! Good luck to Matt and his entire family, super people!

Good luck to Coach Otte. Hate that Cov Cath is losing a good one, but that happens when you have a good program. I am sure Matt has learned a lot from Scott over the years.

So does this mean a whole new staff at Conner?

Just a guess but probably.

My $ was on one of the other candidates. Kind of shocked but see it as a good move for everyone involved. Good luck to Coach Otte!
