There is some pictures of past teachers at Northwest and his picture is there. I was told he was the first girls coach. I will have to look what year.VetteMan wrote: ↑Mon Jan 13, 2020 2:16 pmIf he ever coached the Girls at Northwest, I have never heard anyone around this area ever mention that. He was an assistant coach at Gallia Academy, he then came to Oak Hill as the Head Coach, then to Wilmington as Head Coach, then to Chesapeake for over 20 years as Head Coach, then back to Oak Hill till the present time. At least that's what I've been told, if I'm wrong I'll certainly admit it.BigBlueNation wrote: ↑Mon Jan 13, 2020 1:08 pmI believe he also coached girls at Northwest.

He coached the Panthers for 21 years after five with the Oaks and two at Wilmington High before returning to Oak Hill in 2007.
Now, with more than 750 victories to his credit, Persin said on Saturday this season will be his last.
“A lot of bus rides,” Persin said. “A lot of bus rides.”
Persin, 69, has said he’d retire before, but changed his mind. The third-winningest coach in Ohio high school boys basketball history, though, said he means it this time

I believe he also coached girls at Northwest. I think he was the first girls coach.
Ed Miller was also at Northwest before he went to Notre Dame.
BigBlueNation, First off let me say that you were right, he did coach the Girls one year while at Northwest. I was wrong as were 3 or 4 other people from OH. I checked with the " Main Man ", witch I should have done before I posted to begin with. After that one year, he then started coaching boys as an assistant coach at Gallipolis.VetteMan wrote: ↑Mon Jan 13, 2020 11:37 pmthink that he had coachedBigBlueNation wrote: ↑Mon Jan 13, 2020 9:10 pmThere is some pictures of past teachers at Northwest and his picture is there.

I went to the Lady Oaks - Lady Falcons game at OH this evening, I even asked 3 or 4 people who I know that know Norm a lot better than I do, they didn't seem to think that he had coached the Girls at Northwest either. You very well may be right that he did, and if so I will be the first to admit that I was completely wrong.
Thanks for asking him. Now we know for sure. I wasn't 100% for sure but I had been told that he did. So Thanks again. He is definitely a great coach and fun to watch coach.VetteMan wrote: ↑Tue Jan 14, 2020 9:33 pmBigBlueNation, First off let me say that you were right, he did coach the Girls one year while at Northwest.

Ed Miller put in for the head coaching job back then but didn't get the nod. That's when he made the move to Notre Dame and the rest is history. He said for years after that he felt he could've built a powerhouse in that community.
