I had zero clue he coached at SK. We scrimagged them every year. Congrats and good luck. They have the parts in place and are doing the smart thing by going year by year.

Year by year meaning JV year one and then varsity year two?

Congratulations!

I suppose? I meant they’re doing everything to make sure they hit the ground running in their first year of varsity ball. 

They started with Flag in 2023 Spring/Fall Seasons, Middle School and JV in 2024, and Varsity in 2025.

Looking at the archives online, it looks like he graduated from Moeller in 1982.  That was 4 years behind me.

Side note. When he was the Head Coach at SK, Noel Rash was an assistant for a year or 2.

It is my understanding that Noel coached with him at SK and Moeller

Which means absolutely nothing. Noel Rash isn't making that move. I understand at least why his name comes up here ....but retirement is a real thing. Any move made over the next two years needs to to part of a public school retirement plan.

No offense .... I think Coach Rash's next move will be bigger than St. Henry.

Back to the topic I know Odom has coached more recently than it sounds. He was an assistant at West before Tommy Bolden came (I think I have my timing right but I could be a year or so off)

I agree on Coach Rash.

What do you think of St. Henry hiring Coach Odom @gbballfan21?

Worked games for Tim. His kids were always prepared and played hard. His family (Dad, Bob, if I remember correctly) was always involved with the Fort Mitchell Spartans as I recall. Good luck to St. Henry!!

Agree. I wouldn't be surprised at all to hear Coach Rash endorsed Odom. He obviously knows the Odom family well.

I would assume most people around NKY would endorse Coach Odom.

I think it is one of the more interesting moves I have seen in a while. Odom's are all great dudes.

I haven't really thought of it until this happened ...but Coach Odom's work at SK had a ton to do with how I got to where I am today. Between being introduced to the Odom's by a famous retired coach ... and knowing now that a young and excitable Coach Rash was probably really close by. Kind of amazing to think about how people intersect in your life at key points.

I think it is a really cool move. Jobs like this always attract comments like "they need to hire someone young with energy" ...hogwash. Most schools need someone who knows what they are doing. This dude knows what he is doing.

Hard to think it could be anything other than good.

Thanks for all of that and you are right about people intersecting your life.  Coach Odom's father, Bob, was one of my coaches. 

Congrats to Coach Odom! Looks like St. Henry made a home run hire for first coach.
