What's going on with this search?  Who are the top candidates?

Heard they finished interviews today and one was a coach who grew up and graduated from there and his grandpa coached there and retired from there. Also heard there is another guy who was an assistant under jerry chumley a while back who interviewed and chumley has ties there having coached at harmony grove for a while.  Haven't heard who else apparently they interviewed 5-6 so I was told.

I always liked him when he was here at Glen Rose, thought he did a good job.

Current principals daughter, current coach at the schools daughter, and VERY "involved" parents. I dont think there is any question the guy is a good coach, but he has yet to have a good season, at least according to max preps since he has been there. Now whether that is because of coaching or talent is kind of up in the air.

I image softball limits the time he gets to spend with the girls, I heard they practice just about year round.
  I know they take softball very serious over there.

Yes it seems like softball and football have become the major focuses in what use to be a basketball school. I can still remember going to games in their old gym and the atmosphere. Nothing like that now at a basketball game.

Heard one of the candidates is the grandson of the Cooper family.

FisherOfMen11

Any idea where he has been? I am assuming your talking as in cooper from mills cooper family?

BBall247

No his mother, aunt and uncles all went to Harmony Grove. All were very good basketball players. His mother played in college and coached at the high school level. Aunt played at UofA. He didn't grow up in the Harmony Grove area. Other relatives of his would be the Jones.
He has been coaching and teaching for 8 years now. He would make a good fit at Harmony Grove for sure.

Heard they have chosen their new coach. Not sure when they will release her name though

HG did make a hire, it's a woman is all I've heard... Think it will be a good fit for them, someone with high school head coaching experience. Good luck to Benton Harmony Grove

Good luck to their new coach. Whoever it is has a good group that should go far this next year.
