2018/19 River Valley Raiders Coaching Search

[Fonzie]

I do not disagree with anything you just posted, however, kids aren't like they used to be. To be apart of a program doesn't mean anything to the vast majority of kids today. Kids want to be apart of a winning team and get the attention. So in today's society, I agree you need all the things you mentioned, but if you don't produce success very quick, parents and administration will run you out of town. That is in no way a knock on River Valley. That is the truth of youth sports nationwide. There are always exceptions, but far more examples indicate what I just said, as opposed to examples of letting a program build and define itself, then let the wins follow.

Some of the names I've heard for this are very surprising. I won't say any of them because I'm not sure if a single one of them is true, but I'm surprised at what I've heard. I'm very intrigued by this hire.

I believe going D2 would have to make anyone think twice before applying. It would be extremely difficult to compete in the tournament with other D2's

I highly doubt RV stays D2 for long. Be kinda like Meigs where they spend more years as D3, but sometimes jump up to D2.

Not a good Comparison. Meigs has only not been D2 very few times. Maybe only once. However I look for them to remain in D3 more so moving forward.

Pretty sure RV was D2 up until maybe 5 or 6 years ago. Not new for them.

Meigs has been going back and forth in different sports the last 10 years.

I'd bet they've mostly been D2 though. I'm sure someone knows for sure.

Does it really matter which division they are in? They can’t win anyway. There hasn’t been any type of program being built with the last few coaches plus not much talent. No fundamentals are being taught in the rinky dink league. I don’t think any one in their right mind would take this job unless they are trying to get away from another bad program.

Now I hope someone can come in and turn the program around and keep the kids in the district from going to Gallia. Too many kids on the blue devils squad that are county kids.

Has Meigs ever been D3 in boys basketball before this past season?

Yes they won a D3 sectional in 2013.

and in 2011...under Benny Ewing.

Very Odd that they Won Sectionals with Ewing and Kight, but never won a Sectional with a Coach that produced the most regular season wins in the last I don't know how many years. Thinkin Meigs was d2 in 2014, 20015, 2016 and 2017

That is odd. Just shows the major difference between the two. Of course they ran into teams like Warren and FU in D2. Thanks for the info.

Very happy to see Christian doing well at Eastern. Maybe he will win a district championship on the hill like his brother.

[93Bulldog]

Before they did away with the Athens D3 sectional - and combined it with Jackson - it was fairly easy to win a sectional title. It was just a few TVC teams, plus Crooksville and Zane Trace and maybe another different team depending on the year.

That D3 Athens sectional was in a different stratosphere compared to D2 Logan.

Thanks he loves it there, that year was a great year. Christian won Semi Sectional, Cameron won Sectional, then Christian won Semi District and Cameron won District. Definitely proud moments.

Hopefully RV gives someone a chance to build something. That position has basically been a revolving door the last decade. Find a coach that loves the game & that the kids will play hard for & the wins will come.

Just hire the absolute best that applies and give him the keys for at least 3-5 years and give him a chance.

I'm guessing that was the initial plan with every coach hired at RV....and something always seems to happen.

Who are the candidates?

[93Bulldog]

Who are the candidates?

I think the guy who coached Fed Hock last year applied. He did a pretty good job, imo.
