Coaches Opening
- Thread starter Cranjis McBasketball
- Start date
Leeton Is open as their school board didn't renew him for the job.
Any school looking for a coach that coaches hard, teaches life hard lessons while caring just as hard for his teams, don't sleep on giving him a call. Some school will get a good one with him.

All of his daughters have graduated. I still thought he may keep coaching because they have some talent coming up.
They will regret not having him when the talent runs out. He did a great job there.
I could be wrong but if it’s the coach I’m thinking of, he either won a few state titles there or took them to state a few times recently.
Heard a few weeks back they had mutually agreed to part ways so I’m not sure he had the option to come back.
Christy Otter named girls basketball head coach at West Plains
And they’re gonna let her coach only, and not teach. Which they told him was a non-starter.
Will have a great skill development program I am sure. Jason does a wonderful job and Christy has been around it.
Hiring someone who has never been a varsity head coach to replace one of the winningest coaches in large class basketball in the ozarks.
Wow.
Might as well have just promoted one of the assistants

Disappointed. Ever since the current AD took over, the things happening have been very odd
I think Fleming had won around 80% of his games at Leeton, 7 straight district titles, 3 straight Final 4's. May have been some rumblings the last couple years and they weren't nearly as good this year. Only had about 8 girls out I think. He's a very good coach... but his style rubs some the wrong way. They let Rick Mills go on the boys side a couple years ago for similar reasons.
One of Fleming's daughters has graduated, one will be senior (coming off 2 acl injuries), and one will be a freshman next season.
We've been to Otter's camps and Christy works them. She's always been great to work with. Their camps are really, really good! She'll have some connections for sure... have no idea how good of a coach she'd be... but I can see why you'd give her a chance.

Yeah there were applicant's last time. They just claimed there were not so that it made them look better in spite of the drama. The board was split on whether to bring back Womack or go a different direction.
Interesting hire to say the least. She definitely has big shoes to fill. And to walk into a first time job in the midst of all the drama around their program and school right now? Good luck.
It’s been an odd year.
Republic girls hire their assistant
West Plains girls hire a skills coach
Ozark boys hire an assistant out of district
Marshfield girls may end up hiring assistant 2nd girls coach with 7 weeks experience lol (this is a joke)

These jobs have been filled. Some movement of coaches in MAAA and Jefferson County. Former Park Hills Central and Potosi girls coach Matt Bradley is now at North County. Former Park Hills Central girls coach Josh Mapes is now going to be at Potosi. Also in Jefferson County, Aaron Portell moves from St. Pius X (Festus) to Festus girls job. So that leaves St. Pius X (Festus) open. They went to the Class 3 Final Four last year and have 6 of their top 7 players returning.
It's almost like coaches don't want to deal the crazy
What do people expect?
The pay is a joke.
Parents are delusional.
And kids have to be handled with white gloves.
We will see the day when there will be nobody to coach or officiate high school sports.
The good ones are walking away and the only ones left are the ones who are so far into their careers that they are stuck and cannot walk away.
This will become the norm IMO.
Republic made the right choice. Why should she not get the chance? It's not like she is was new to the program.
Lets see about Marshfield. They will get a good one.
I wasn’t saying she shouldn’t get a chance. But jobs like that normally hire people with successful head coach experience. I honestly could care less who any of these schools hire only stating that it’s been much different than it has been in the past as far as who is being hired at bigger schools
Kickapoo hired their long time assistant last yr and it worked out well, maybe even better than if Pendergrass had still been there. It’ll be harder at Republic to repeat that bc Flood was probably the best in the area at getting the most out of what he had, and Republic may be in a talent drought right now for girls bball
