You are probably more in tune with this hire than me, but I heard just the opposite. I heard he was taking assistants with him to Waverly? Not sure if there is any truth to that or not. The thing that puzzles me the most is they competed with the Unioto's and Paint Valley's right down to the wire and there is talent coming at Huntington. Seemed like it was about to break out! But, what do I know.Safety.50! wrote: ↑Thu Apr 13, 2023 12:55 am He is not very popular at Huntington right now, he applies for a job else where , tells no one he is leaving he even introduced a new coach he was bringing in to the players just days before , and didn't even tell him he was leaving ??? Huntington gave him every thing he wanted treated him like he had won 10 state championships, even hired his wife as a teacher? His first year he ran so many kids off the barely had enough to have a varsity team? No Jv or Freshman teams he had to recruit kids just to have enough for Jr High .1st year he won 2 or 3 games then fired his whole staff , brought in new Coaches this year, won 3 or 4 games and was in the process of getting rid of them and bringing in new coaches again? I guess that wasn't the problem . Sounds to me like its not the Kids at Huntington, its the inability to get along with not only his coaches or the players he is coaching???
Probably the best thing that could of happened for Huntington!
Now we will see how many kids he will recruit and take to Waverly?
Underachieving in the conference sure, but as far as tournament play they’ve done pretty well going as far back as 2018

That's sort of a blanket statement, over what course of time are you referring to?? Because just looking at maxpreps let's look at the numbers and not going to count 2022-2023 season for the simple fact that was a total rebuild and more of the outlier.
Have to be offered the job in order to turn it down. Waverly posted the open coaches position and then made calls inquiring about interest levels of certain coaches, most were happy with their current situations and wanted to see that commitment through. I can't ever fault a coach for being in it for the long haul and I have no idea where the last resort notion came from as that's simply not the case. Last resort would be a school hiring a guy in June/July not the beginning of parts of April. I mean you seem to be put forth this notion of having information on the matter, do you really think he was the only guy interviewed?Safety.50! wrote: ↑Fri Apr 14, 2023 11:44 pm The way I understand is that several Coaches turned the Waverly job down and he was their last resort!
That’s becoming the norm at a lot of places. Many programs are struggling and the best coaches aren’t leavingSafety.50! wrote: ↑Fri Apr 14, 2023 11:44 pm The way I understand is that several Coaches turned the Waverly job down and he was their last resort!
I think last year counts doesn’t it, or are we just forgetting that season?Tigernation2021 wrote: ↑Fri Apr 14, 2023 11:48 pmThat's sort of a blanket statement, over what course of time are you referring to??

2016-17--12-5 in conference and 21-9 overall
2017-2018--Maxpreps saying 16-4 but I think it's 13-4 in conf. and 25-8 overall
2018-19--11-5 in conf. and 16-9 overall
2019-20--14-3 in conf. and 19-7 overall
2020-21--13-2 conf. and 20-5 overall
2021-22--15-1 conf. and 22-5 overall
6 seasons--78-20 for a 79.5 winning % in conference over that time, so I guess I'm confused by this notion of underachieving. Are they supposed to win every game every year? I mean that's a 6 year run I just posted players coming and going and still having a 80% winning percentage. 123-43 overall during that time with multiple deep runs in the tourney and a state semi-final game to boot tossed in. Yeah Waverly has really been underachieving in SOC play guess a 80% winning percentage doesn't go a long ways for your team.
Ah ok, so then you're just talking about last season underachieving, because see you referenced 2 years ago so I was trying to figure out your timeline. Now that I know it's based off of one season than I agree 100% they really underachieved then last year in SOC play. Looking at all the post trying to figure out where an actual Waverly person said it was a job everyone wanted, help me out with that one. Pretty sure going into last season after Travis was done everyone said it'd be a tough spot to fill especially with everyone they graduated. Don't be confused by saying Waverly ppl said this, when none of them had and most who actually know the team knew last season was at best a 4-6 win season depending on how the ball bounced, with those on the outside looking in saying that should be a great job to get and easy to fill because that's 2 different things. Kretzer was a stud and Robertson was as well special class to come through but as you can see from the years listed there's plenty there where neither were on the team and still had plenty of success. I always find it funny when someone tries to break this big picture topic of success down to but you're a bigger school playing smaller schools and poof that should mean automatic titles. Does Unioto run the SVC in football and basketball every year?? I mean look at the size of Chillicothe and for some reason the last few years they've been terrible when it comes to basketball.HERO wrote: ↑Sat Apr 15, 2023 12:52 amI think last year counts doesn’t it, or are we just forgetting that season?Tigernation2021 wrote: ↑Fri Apr 14, 2023 11:48 pmThat's sort of a blanket statement, over what course of time are you referring to??

How many league titles does waverly have in the past 10 years?
A D2 school playing a D3 schedule should have more league success is all that I’m saying. Kretzer was a stud as well as Robertson that lead to great seasons.
Waverly people act like this is a job that everyone would want
The DII school in a DIII conference for basketball really means nothing. Basketball isn’t football. And the league isn’t very bad go back in some of those years where Waverly would make a good run in the tournament there was a good chance that Burg, Minford, Valley and Webster all made good runsHERO wrote: ↑Sat Apr 15, 2023 12:52 amI think last year counts doesn’t it, or are we just forgetting that season?Tigernation2021 wrote: ↑Fri Apr 14, 2023 11:48 pmThat's sort of a blanket statement, over what course of time are you referring to??
