Heard Walnut Ridge filled both girls and boys positions. Don't know any names though.

Anything on Bay or BIC girls?

Truman or GCT boys?

Quiet few days for the NEA coaching carousel

Halbrook is from GCT or Paragould or that area.  Has coached for 3 years. Piggott Girls, Delta C-7 boys (MO), Benton Jr. High.  All one year apiece.  Walnut Ridge will most likely be a one year stop as well. 

I believe Trumann is holding out for Brad Brannen.  Said this before, I know, but if they aren't why haven't they hired someone else by now.

Is Brannen at Bay?

Two great coaches, and with talent that is already there and others that will join them because of the great coaches they are GFWS will be teams to watch the next few years.

CoachEagleCat

Greene County Tech is NOT open. Guiot is still there.

Informant

Correct me here.. but isn't Keith Brown from Shirley? Only curious

Seems like a great coach.  Won a title at Sacred Heart and took Shirley to finals in 2017.

dalemurphy

How about a name on who Piggott hired?  Or is their name actually Coach Filled?

Yeah lives in or near Shirley and won't have to move for the west side job haha

Sounds like it'll be GFWS and ICC facing off in Hot Springs the next 3 years.

Right? I think it's safe to say at this point the bags are packed.... great pull by WS huge loss for Shirley and we all know that players will flock to play for coaches so I do see some of the better tallent at Shirley moving as well... more bad news for a school already in bad position for student loss....

ballmember

You must not  be a bluedevil fan if you are encouraging kids to move.  All schools would be better off win or lose if they tried to improve where they are at.   How many families can afford to rent a place in westside school district.   

Mr. Pappagiorgio

I agree Mr. Ballmember, its sad that kids go where ever they want instead of trying to build teams in their home towns.

In other news I have recently required some camping lots and mailboxes in the west side school district. Will rent OCtober through March for a premium price

old.dole

Where is the chapel coach going?

Bosshog34

How good are Midland and Hillcrest boys supposed to be next year?  Both had decent records but lost their coaches.  Wondering what the expectations are and if the coaches left because talent is dry or they should have won more?

New Openings:

Genoa Central Boys
Trumann Assist Girls

I have heard Johnny Taylor will be heading to Star City which will make Caddo Hills open. I believe that is 4 coaches in 4 years.

TheGovernor

Who knows if that's true I heard Lee Wimberley of Manila applied for star city as well

I don't know him personally but that move wouldn't make much sense IMO.

Informant

Lee Wimberley did not apply for Star City. His next move will be Brookland when Gross finally quits or near the Little Rock area.  Star City is neither.

TheGovernor

I know some noteable coaches who applied for the star city job and Lee was one of them. Not saying he would go but if Manila opened that would be a very intriguing job.

What's so attractive about that job?

Cade Niswonger is the new Hillcrest boys coach.  Great young man that will be a great coach.  Congrats Cade!!!!!!

NEABallftw

Where is Clayobrn going already? He had some great young talent that was worth developing.

Marion boys open

razorbackhog

BIC Girls has been filled by Mike Kinard.  He coached there before the previous 2 coaches.  Has worked in insurance I believe since he left BIC in 2006.

Basketballfan13

Dardanelle Girls is now open

Kelby Drennan is the new coach at West Fork.

I guess you can add Marshall to the list of openings. Expect other openings this week also.

Coach Brown graduated from Shirley seems kind of like his dream job to help his alma mater but everyone knows today that most people are not very loyal.  Kind of surprised by that hire over there

TheGovernor

Loyalty??? This dude can coach and let him go wherever he wants to do that. How long was he at Shirley? Probably a good while and took them to the state finals. It is his career, his family and his choice and the other School wanted him so who cares. I can't believe you just posted that you must be a real gunzzle.

And if he struggled for a couple years in a row, they'd run him out. Fan bases aren't always loyal to their coaches either

thebigtiger

Just seemed that he would want to help his home school.  But honestly not surprised that he left talent level there seems to be dropping off.  I was kind of surprised that Westside didn't broaden their options on a coach.  I just think there was better young up and comers that might have been better options.  I agree Coach Brown can win with lots of talent.  But can he win without much talent?  Seems like he didn't want to find out

I'm guessing ole fired up must have applied.

Easy Guv!! He was at least choice 3 maybe 4 for the job! I'm with Tigerman on this one! Very very narrow coaching search for a school that's been mired in averagosity for a loooonnnggg time!

thebigtiger

You tell me this.  The year they went to state finals they were loaded right?  What tournaments did they win?  No disrespect just wondering

TheGovernor

Does it matter? IMO the only thing that matters is State Tourney. Little local tourneys don't mean Jack Squat! Did u beat them when u played them while at Timbo? Just curious
