From Litter Media:

A selection committee tasked with finding a new boys varsity basketball coach at Paint Valley High School has made their recommendation to the board of education, according to a member of the selection committee.

Former Adena High School and Ohio University-Chillicothe Coach Jason Smith has been recommended by the five-person committee, which included Paint Valley HS Principal Joe Holbert, Athletic Director Lew Ewry, Board of Education Member Dave Shoemaker and community members Casey McFadden and Randy Chrisman.

If hired by the Paint Valley Board of Education, Smith would replace Bob Williams, who is being non-renewed as the Bearcats coach. Williams led the Bearcats program over the last three seasons.

In five seasons as the Warriors coach, Smith's win totals increased each year, from a one-win team his first year to 12 and 16 wins in his final two seasons. That included trips to the district tournament his final season.

Smith did a good job at Adena, he was pretty involved with the entire program which lead to some good things. Solid hire by Paint Valley here.
