Big Fundamental Posted March 14, 2019 Share Posted March 14, 2019 It’s all rumor at this point, correct? I was told for fact that interviews have started, but that “fact” is a “rumor” as I have not been able to confirm with the school. I was also told they want someone with experience. There are a few really good candidates right in the 9th Region if any coaches have the gusto to take on Ryle. Firmly believe this school has the players to put together a team that can win early and often. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HSBballfan24 Posted March 14, 2019 Share Posted March 14, 2019 So lots of rumors. Lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OGRaidersman Posted March 15, 2019 Share Posted March 15, 2019 I have heard Boone’s JV coach come up a few times in the rumor mill. I think he would be a good hire but I believe this would be his first HC job. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

B-Ball-fan Posted March 15, 2019 Share Posted March 15, 2019 Rick Shumate would be a nice fit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PP1 Posted March 15, 2019 Share Posted March 15, 2019 If you are Ryle, do you wait to see who applies and then take the best person or do you go after someone? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Colonels_Wear_Blue Posted March 15, 2019 Share Posted March 15, 2019 If you are Ryle, do you wait to see who applies and then take the best person or do you go after someone? I've always assumed, in an ideal situation, that with ANY coaching hire I'd want to reach out to my ideal candidates and still allow the application process to run its course. Go after who you want but still allow yourself the opportunity for someone you hadn't thought of it hadn't expected to throw their hat in the ring. Give yourself the best of both worlds, as much as possible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BCHS-BLUEBIRD Posted March 15, 2019 Share Posted March 15, 2019 What about CovCath JV Coach Ben Franzen? He was great at HHS and he's been great at CCH? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HSBballfan24 Posted March 15, 2019 Share Posted March 15, 2019 I think Ryle needs someone with successful head coaching experience. Schumate has experience but don’t think he’s a good fit at Ryle. The JV coaches may be great but Ryle went that route with the last two coaches and both were not ready or very successful. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big Fundamental Posted March 15, 2019 Share Posted March 15, 2019 I think hiring a JV coach again would be a mistake, just from the standpoint that you want to excite the fan base, players, parents, and community. I think you need an established head coach. With that said, there are only 2 or 3 head coaches already in the 9th that would fit the bill of what you might expect to see at Ryle after the last decade or so, and Sullivan & Ruthsatz aren’t going anywhere. Imo, if Ryle was going to “go after” someone, I think you look at guys like Snapp of Newport, Belcher of Pendleton, or Brannen at Walton (which I do NOT see him leaving). After that, you see who all applies and take the best of that bunch. If you did go with a JV coach, it’d have to be a guy like Franzen, as he’s been extremely successful and is a great guy. Whoever it is, it needs to be someone who can relate to people and excite the community. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HSBballfan24 Posted March 15, 2019 Share Posted March 15, 2019 Belcher at Pendleton has to prove what he is without Allen first. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big Fundamental Posted March 15, 2019 Share Posted March 15, 2019 Belcher at Pendleton has to prove what he is without Allen first. Agree to disagree. Allen had Very few pieces around him in a smaller school. And, the game plan for every team was easy, slow Allen. Belcher still found ways to put Allen in great spots for PC to win games and compete with high level teams. At Ryle, Belcher would have more to work with, and he’s a basketball nut & historian. He could relate with kids easily. Played college basketball, and appears to be rather well connected. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
