I don't see Hicks leaving Grant for at least another year. Hicks is all about wins and with next years team at Grant, they will be serious contenders for the 8th. However, if the administration wants him out, then he may leave early. He really doesn't hang around one place for very long.

I'm sure they will have a coach by the end of March.

SK should be strong. They only lose one starter and had an undefeated JV team.

What are you talking about? Obviously you don't read previous posts. Where have you seen me complaining about Trame? Nor have I said anything about talent. Read the posts wa wa.

Trame led Walton to a District title in the 2010-11 season. That was Walton's first District title since the 1950's. I guess his style is still successful since the game has not changed that much since 2011.

I do believe it will be a new face. I'm sure Clinkenbeard could do the job but sometimes bringing someone in who is new to the program is best.

Why would the Moeves boys leave now that Trame is gone? You can't blame Trame, oh excuse me, you are. Why would Clinkenbeard leave the girls job after only two years and go to the boys side? I know his daughter graduates which makes sense why he might want out of the girls position. I can think of only two other reasons why he would want the boys.

Congrats to Marion on a great season!

Man, reading their transcripts is going to be like reading a road map!

I did do my homework and I made an "A". Sorry you get so defensive when someone doesn't agree with you and you resort to personal attacks. The boys program is not in good shape because they lack a quality talent pool and unfortunately there isn't much coming up in the near future. I guess you're going to blame Trame for the Moeves boys leaving (if they do)? Walton will be able to compete at the A level but if you think they will be contenders for the region in the next few years, man are you mistaken. In regards to the administration, who cares? They will do what they want. I'm still waiting for an answer to my previous question.

I'm still waiting for you to tell me why Clinkenbeard is exactly what the boys program needs!

I do believe that Anderson is the 2nd best team in the state. Marion is just that good!

Trame resigning is Walton's loss. Trame did a fine job at Walton. If players choose to leave, so be it. I guess the parents won this battle and the easy solution for the administration is to get another parent to coach. Let the inmates run the asylum!!

Congrats to the Panda's.

WOW! Congrats to Anderson Co. and good luck tomorrow.

I love these threads regarding coaching vacancies. Everyone knows who would be the best for the position but we never know how it works out until they get in the position. These threads do make for entertaining reading. The Walton administration will do what they feel is best based on the circumstances and I wish them the best of luck making this decision.

I did my homework. Did you watch the girls team underachieve all year? Yes, I know, they had some injuries (most teams do throughout the course of the season) but the real test is how the head coach responds to it. I don't think anyone would feel that this past season was a success. Walton's boys program is going to need someone who is experienced and knows how to build a program. The coach isn't going to inherit a lot of seasoned talent, like Clinkenbeard did on the girls side. It's going to take someone who is willing to work his butt off and put in the extra time to build this program. This person also needs to be in the school every day and be visible to the players. I don't see this happening with a para-professional. I just don't think the parent route is the way to go and that is no disrespect to Clinkenbeard.

Can you tell me why Clinkenbeard is exactly what this team needs?

What a mistake that would be. It's going to take someone who can build a team and who has experience with boys.

Either there were different coaches or they changed their vote.

Where are they attending classes? This whole thing smells.

I don't believe Walton's record this year was a determining factor. Trame didn't resign because they were 9-21.

Congrats and good luck.

I believe the older Moeves boy is a junior.

I agree.
