With all the great coaches we have in Northern Ky. Who is the best among the 9th region Coaches??

This has been thrown around a lot and I have stayed firm with this duo, in order:

 

1. Dave Faust

2. Willie Schlarman

For those of us not real familiar with just the names...what school do they coach?

Sorry Goldie, my bad.

 

1. Dave Faust, St. Henry

2. Willie Schlarman, Highlands (formerly of Brossart)

:thumb: I have heard the names but thought some had changed schools....this helps alot. :thumb:

What about Detzel from New Cath, and his little side kick Jimmy Pangallo?

I went to high school with Robby and like him very much as a person, but no, I would not put him in the Top 3 or 4 quite yet. Just my opinion. He is fiery and competitive, and you have to love his passion, I just think he needs more time, games, and wins under his belt before he enters this conversation.

I'll take Coach L as my d-coordinator.

Go ahead and give your obligatory love to Coach "H," we are all waiting for it. :ylsuper:

No one's mentioned the High school Guru, Cov Cath Coach!!!

No doubt that Jimmy Hicks is on my list. Did you notice his coaching job in the 9th region tourney last year? Were you paying attention?

Yeah, I seem to recall that game. :irked:

I would have to say Willie Schlarman, Tops in the 9th Region.

Here is my list and it did change after last seasons regional tourny.

 

1. Dave Faust- St. Henry-My former coach does it the right way and just missed out on a state title possibly.

2. Willie Schlarman- Highlands-Someday he'll have the talent and win the 9th Region. For now he is one of the best defensive coaches in the state.

3. Jim Hicks- Conner-Teaches defense and smart play, his team last year was a great representation of his coaching.

4. Mike Listerman- CovCath-Has great talent, but coaches defense and hustle with the best of them. He realizes his teams strengths and uses those strengths for the most part to always be on top in the 9th.

5. Nate Neimi-Ryle- Not one of my favorites but I respect what he has done. One of the best defensive coaches in the state also. His teams always shoot FT well and are very hard nosed. A good example of his coaching was the 2002 Regional Champs.

5. Dave Hensly- Holmes- His teams are always hard nosed and at full speed all the time. He teaches defense well and team work. Hensly has to put up with alot at Holmes but you would never know that.
