Best coach in SEO

Post by DUNK1 »

Has to be Howie hands down. He’s been dominating the past 4+ decades at 4 different schools. I’m sure someone will disagree but who else has done as much as he has? Plus how many coaches are known by their first name statewide? Share your thoughts but I say it’s Howie bar none.

He cut his teeth under the great King Carl Wolfe but I kinda think his Howies son has a shot at greatness if he can get his lower level coaches to learn to Reed.

Oh yeah? Well they been trying to get Howie back there for several years now so not sure many would agree with you about him being better than Howie.

Howdy was 1-19 his last year in Racine. When he was at Eastern he struggled to win the league because he couldn’t beat Fed Hock. So he left and went to Fed Hock and couldn’t win a tournament game there. I wouldn’t consider that “dominating.” I’ll give him credit for his success at Thimble but that’s always been a sleeper but they never had even an average coach before Howdy 🤠

Dang straight skippy! The Old Old Guard of Racine Hustlin Purple Southern Basketball woulda never let the 'Does lose a layer like that. We'da came up with a package of free haircuts and fresh produce to keep that kid happy. Plus we'da loaned him a car to drive for special events. I think we still have that purple Ford Pinto around here somewhere. That thing is a sweet ride.


If we haven't heard a rumor by noon, we start one!

I would argue that the Kittle boy would make a great coach. Isnt he on staff? Maybe he is the real shot caller in that program and someone else is just a figgerhead.......

Williams at western does a great job IMO. He always has those boys ready by tournament time.

Donnie Saunders was one of the best in every sport he coached. If he had a tenth of the talent these other coaches had that are talked about he would have won no telling how many state championships.

I’d give Maddox my vote too. If kids respond to Norm like they once did, I’d place him half a tier ahead of Maddox, though.

For my money the only choice is Rob Beucler @ Eastern. Gets the most out of the talent he has.

Howie has dominated at four different schools. No one else mentioned has done that have they? Howie has to be the best based on that fact if nothing else.

Bill Whaley coached 2 times at Alexander 1966-68 and 1979-1984. He also coached at Albany High School and led them to the state semi-finals He was 111-43 at Alex. Unfortunately, after the 1984 season his car was hit head on by a vehicle going the wrong way. He was never able to coach again. We can only imagine what he could have accomplished. In talking to his players, he taught them life lessons as well as basketball.

He’s done a great job-especially the last 3-4 yrs by installing the Princeton offense. Kids have really bought in.
