16thBBall Fan Posted June 4, 2011 Share Posted June 4, 2011 I have heard from sources close to the program that the job has been offered to a Jim Youngman who is currently coaching at Metamora High School in Peoria Illinois. He is deciding on the job. He has a big kid who will be in the 7th grade who is supposed to be a good player. Not sure how long he has to make a decision but was told he had been offered the job.

I don't know this guy, but will he be around long enough to see his kid at the varsity level. GC coaches have not lasted long recently. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
howwelookin Posted June 8, 2011 Share Posted June 8, 2011 Sources close to the program are code for "read it on another site". All of our prognosticators couldn't have possibly guessed who was in line for this job. Yet, I'd say we'll have someone say, "I knew it all along". Good luck to the new coach and the task at hand.

Big Slick Posted June 9, 2011 Share Posted June 9, 2011 WLGC reporting this as official. Anybody know what his connection is to GC? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jmatt Posted June 9, 2011 Share Posted June 9, 2011 (edited) WLGC reporting this as official. Anybody know what his connection is to GC? No connection that i am aware of. He comes from Metamora High School outside Peoria, Illinois, a bigtime football school in Illinois. He has been around a few places coaching at 7 schools in 15 years, but always left on his own terms. Every year his teams have improved from the prior year and after reading articles on his teams the guy can coach. Biggest issue is him staying for any length of time. I think all along this hire was going to be someone from outside the area. Just had a feeling that was the way they were going to go if they could. Here are links for a couple articles: http://www.woodfordtimes.com/sports/x1055392457/Metamora-boys-basketball http://www.pjstar.com/preps/x541364429/Metamora-Ultimate-destination Edited June 9, 2011 by Jmatt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big Slick Posted June 9, 2011 Share Posted June 9, 2011 Odd how he would end in Greenup from Illinois with no connection, good luck to him and GC. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jmatt Posted June 9, 2011 Share Posted June 9, 2011 (edited) Witness protection program. Lol I never thought about that but that may very well be true. May be why he keeps on the move. Gotta keep one step ahead! Edited June 9, 2011 by gold sunrise Rule #13 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
16thBBall Fan Posted June 9, 2011 Share Posted June 9, 2011 Witness protection program. lol but if he is in the program if Greenup holds true to form the people after him will only have to wait a year then Greenup will force him to resign and them he will be out on his own.:lol: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
