Read the post wrong. HC is staying. Looking for asst.
Riverside will be looking for a head coach.
Little Rock Christian thought 2 weeks ago they had their new coach for 2019, but now they're interviewing guys this week....something fell through.

Wes McCrotty to Dover.

Wes McCrotty to Dover.
You sure about this. I talked to him a couple weeks ago and he stated he was not going to Dover.

Well, it wouldn't be the first time the social media folk at the Courier were wrong.
That is exactly what it says. Sorry just shocked me as it came direct from him. I see he was named athletic director as well. Pay bump I am sure. Good for him. He is a good guy and I am sure he wanted to get past this season before making the change known.

I think Sloan Hendrix softball. He's cutting down on driving time to school and his wife works in Imboden I believe.
Riverside, Pottsville, and Midland have been added to the list. Cutter Morning Star has been filled but not sure by who.
Coach at Spring Hill took the cutter job I believe. Can't remember his name though

Dover announced it on its Facebook page, and Pottsville has posted its vacancy on the AAA bulletin board.
Gosnell will probably be open
Carlisle really needs to get this one right. Lots of talented kids in place and coming up in the very near future. The next coach has championship caliber teams for the next several years
Quote from: Missco on May 27, 2018, 09:43:12 pm

Where's Burnside going?
Just added Nettleton to the list. That job should draw a lot of interest. I would imagine Nettleton has a shortlist and has reached out to people already.

Carlisle had a good crew coming in the 9th or 10th grade, but they did not have enough to field a 13-15 team this year.

At that age they are probably all playing travel ball , especially the ones that are serious about it. League teams are a dying breed, sad to say.

That is a good pick up. A little surprising. The Brookland job should get some good interest.
just seems Brookland would be a better job..growing school and all.
You can add Atkins to the list
Also Westside Consolidated and White County Central have been listed as open.
Riverside is filled. I believe his name is Nick Brown who was an assistant at Valley View last year.
It is my understanding that Steven Tew, assistant coach at Bauxite, has been hired as the new Head Baseball Coach at Carlisle.
So Westside, Brookland, and Gosnell all needing new coaches. That's a lot of turnover at the top of that old conference.
:D trumann is also looking for a coach.

You just seem to be very knowledgeable about that conference by your posts so I didn't know if you are from there or from another school in that conference and had heard who all applied.

Bill Taylor was the assistant coach.
Quote from: Informant on June 25, 2018, 09:49:33 am
Bill Taylor was the assistant coach.
They have another assistant coach that has been there for several years, last year was bill Taylor's first year at brookland that's why I was wondering why they skipped the other coach if he wanted it.
I heard Taylor was getting out of basketball completely and just doing baseball.
Gosnell is just looking for a coach that can be bullied to do what they want them to do. So the teacher and coaches kids can have play time. They did the same thing a few years ago to a basketball coach. So if anyone is wanting to apply to Gosnell just know if you dont play the employees kids or u tell the kids how it is, you wont be there long.

Not sure you're knowledgeable about the situation.
https://www.blythevillecourier.com/story/2532142.html
I do know the situation. They baited him to act up. They didnt like that he was truthful to the kids and made them mind. He didnt take crap off any kids or parents. The team started off looking like the Bad News Bears and then ended up at state, there arent many coaches that can do that. He is strict and demands respect and if you dont give it he then he won't give it. He had my son and he did a great job with him. Bc of the things he did my son was able to attend college and play ball while there.

He's a grown man. They baited him? Cussing your boss gets you fired from working at the gas station, WalMart, everywhere man. Article makes it sound like a dude upset he did not get his way. Things his attorney was citing all seemed petty and pointless, as well. Really bad look for him. I can't imagine anybody trying to justify the actions of a grown man who cussed his employer and threw a fit in their place of business.
When he goes in asking for a few things to help with the baseball program and has EVERYTHING turned down. They knew how he would react so they could get rid of him. It just all sucks. The kids are the ones that will suffer and that is not fair. I hope it isn't going to turn into a Daddy ball program. Bc that is the fear most of the players have.
He made it to the state tournament not because of coaching, but because he had one of the better pitchers in 4a in Andy Roberts. He is a lefty that throws 84-87 that kind of pitcher will win you a lot of games.
A pticher alone doesnt make a team. There has to be a defense behind them and bats in front of them. Yes Amdy is a good player but there are for sure others better. The team was ROUGH to start but was able to pull it together bc of coaching and 2 great seniors who stepped up to lead the team. I am sorry you agree with this schools bad decision. There are coaches that do way worse than this one did and they keep their jobs. This coach was fighting for his kids so he could work with them more and get equipment he needed and was denied it all. He was denied bc he wasnt going to play Daddy ball with the kids coming up and EVERYONE knew he wouldn't. So they made sure they had enough to fire him so their kids would get play time. Remember this in 3 years, the basketball and baseball teams are going to struggle at the High school level at Gosnell and it is going to me bc employees kids are going to be in those grades and their parents think they hang the moon. They are ok players but they are all small and are going need other kids, not in the employee click, to help snd they are running them off.
So who is Gosnell looking at for that job?
There has been no publication of a name. There are many rumors but none that can be confirmed
Any updates on any of these jobs? Haven't heard anything on Gosnell, Westside, etc.

Saw where BIC's baseball job was open. Who was there and where did they go?

He likes to play kids of coworkers so it will be interesting to see what happens

Brandon Ballard has been the baseball coach the last 2 years but if I understand right, they are trying to move him to boys basketball only and hire a baseball only coach. With it being this late they may not find anyone and I would assume that Ballard would be the baseball coach again if that is the case.

Man, I couldn't resist. In all fairness, I've only met him once, and he made a great impression. My son played a summer tournament game on his field, and afterward, he had his players out there rolling out the tarp. They did it willingly, efficiently, and with care as a storm rolled in. And this was all done so OTHER teams could play on the PG field the next day. So, there was some goodness there along with the poor decisions he is reported to have made.
