Re: River Valley Job Opening
Not always, especially when they hired Coach Jeremy Peck. They had a long-term guy in Coach Hill, but little Johnny's couldn't handle loose ball drills or being yelled at.sandstorm23 wrote: ↑Wed May 02, 2018 7:52 amI'm guessing that was the initial plan with every coach hired at RV....and something always seems to happen.BlizzardMan wrote: ↑Tue May 01, 2018 9:36 amJust hire the absolute best that applies and give him the keys for at least 3-5 years and give him a chance.

Re: River Valley Job Opening
I get your point, but loose ball drills are pretty stupid IMO. There isn't a benefit in doing them. Kids get hurt/banged up for no reason. Kids aren't going to pass on going after balls in actual games because they didn't line up and hammer each other in a drill in practice IMO.BlizzardMan wrote: ↑Wed May 02, 2018 9:57 amNot always, especially when they hired Coach Jeremy Peck.

So they just hired Peck knowing he'd be fired soon after? That's pretty interesting.

Re: River Valley Job Opening
I still think this can be a good job, they just need to find a guy who is truly wanting to establish something and do everything by the book on and off the floor.

I wasn't at the practices, but knowing Coach Jordan Hill, the intention of loose ball drills are not to beat around on kids, get them hurt, or bruised up, in fact, it is the exact opposite. The drills are intended to teach kids how to attack a loose ball and recover it in a way that protects them from an opponent. Lastly, those drills are designed to teach kids how to recover a loose ball while having teammates call for the ball and hopefully create fast break points from the hustle play.

You know what they say about those SG coaches. "Proven winners, kids run through brick walls, players lifting trucks in their weight room..." Remember when Jesty was going to save the VC football program? We all saw how that ended, but those SG guys just keep getting jobs. Can't beat'em.BlizzardMan wrote: ↑Wed May 02, 2018 10:50 amNo they hired him over better candidates.sandstorm23 wrote: ↑Wed May 02, 2018 10:01 amI get your point, but loose ball drills are pretty stupid IMO.

Not Jason Peck. He was the right hire. And one of his former guys just lifted over 1,800 lbs. total for Autism Awareness.Orestes' wrote: ↑Wed May 02, 2018 2:09 pmYou know what they say about those SG coaches.

Re: River Valley Job Opening
Well that's good to know, and would look great on a resume. Prolly one of the one's who ran through a brick wall.BlizzardMan wrote: ↑Wed May 02, 2018 2:28 pmNot Jason Peck. He was the right hire.

Re: River Valley Job Opening
Is he autistic? Not really sure how that would raise awareness for autism if not. Pretty cool, just I have no idea how some of these things are raising awareness lolBlizzardMan wrote: ↑Wed May 02, 2018 2:28 pmNot Jason Peck. He was the right hire.

Re: River Valley Job Opening
I'd say it's time for RV to go outside the area. Heard of at least one promising out of state. Don't ask for names because I don't have any but I was told the candidates that are being considered are good ones.

Re: River Valley Job Opening
Maybe I'm just too much of a pessimist, but I don't see them getting anyone that great. There's very little that's attractive about the job IMO. The gym sucks, talent isn't there and the community doesn't really back the guy in the role.

Some are attracted to the chance to build a program from the ashes, and a lot of times people are looking to relocate.sandstorm23 wrote: ↑Thu May 03, 2018 7:45 am Maybe I'm just too much of a pessimist, but I don't see them getting anyone that great.
