Girls Head Coach Openings

Whoever takes that WP job has some big shoes to fill for sure.

Same applies to the Blue Eye job. Womack and Elfrink were two of the best.
 
There are some really nice jobs on that list, that no one seems to be talking about.
Norwood, Kelly, NMCC, are some that jump off the screen at me.
I would think they would be garnering a lot of talk.
A few that seem a little concerning as well.

Kelly hired Matthew Blissett a few days ago.

You don't want to be the man after the man. Hard to make people happy and they compare everything you do to what they did. Just saying.

That’s exactly what I was saying. Look at Mizzou after Norm and obviously Jon Scheyer, who takes over for Coach K at Duke, will have the same issue. Based on the recruits he’s landed so far he seems to be off to a good start though

Blue Eye will be especially a challenge for a new coach because they don’t have much talent coming up the pipeline compared to what they’ve had. They graduate all 5 starters. West Plains does have some young talent to work with at least but a player like Judd is impossible to replace.
 
With 4 starters back and an All State 6 footer, WP girls should still be pretty salty next year, and should still be one of the top two teams in the top heavy Ozark Conference.
it’ll be interesting to see how things shake out with the usual suspects of WP, the Poo, lebanon and Rolla.
as far as post season goes, IF the lady Zizzers get there, CJ is going to be loaded barring any injuries or transfers.

im going to be interested to see how the HC search goes. Location has always been an issue with bringing good coaches in to WP for most sports.
my fear is that they will hire someone good who will use WP as a stepping stone for the next two years and when all of this years soph starters graduate, will just disappear.
it’ll be interesting to see what kind of changes happen with the strategy on defense which is what Womack teams have been known for. Defense.
 
It will be really difficult to replicate what Womack's groups did defensively. That matchup zone was really tough for years. When it isn't your bread and butter it is very hard to run and be good at.

Glendale officially hired Matt Powell
He's married to ex MSU player Casey Garrison, lives in Glendale district already, and they have two daughters coming up. Before I knew he had the daughters I wondered why he would switch to coaching girls after coaching boys at Gainesville/Lamar the last seven years. Sounds like the same thing as Larsen taking the Strafford girls job a couple of years ago. Glendale isn't Strafford though so we'll see how this goes...
 
Welcome to Glendale, Coach Powell

I thought Willard's coach might resign because his daughter is graduating and she was the best player. Kind of a pattern we have seen
Ha. JJ Adamson is now the boys coach at Willard

Good call.

One thing I've seen on both sides, probably more on the girls side at least in SWMO high school ball, is that if you have a kid coming up with the potential to be a good player in high school, you have a big leg up over others in the hiring process. Even with the assistant coaching jobs.

Lee Winfield can attest to this.
