Girls Head Coaching Jobs

I have said this before but I have seen many of the Nixa Jr high teams and you would think they could win a state title but most of those players either aren't around in high school anymore or are not better.
 
Was wondering the same thing. For the sake of the program let’s hope so. To have zero playoff wins in 10 years with the amount of talent that has went through the program is unacceptable. Grant could be big time if she continues to develop. I am afraid if it is status quo she could regress which seems to be the norm for most of the juniors and seniors in the program. Clark was an exception.
Clark took a big jump bc they graduated 3 D2 players and the other younger D2 prospect got hurt and was hampered/held back this season, and there was an obvious effort to feature Clark offensively. Plus she went from being the second youngest starter on the team to the oldest and by far the most varsity-experienced. This season was tailor made for her to take a step up.

Not taking anything away from her, she's a good player and great athlete, just saying those are the primary reasons why her numbers improved this season - experience + opportunity

What is going on at Ava? Seems people think Coach Houk is done there, but have never seen it posted? Are they just promoting an assistant or has Houk decided to stay?
The job is posted on the Moteachingjobs website. He's done there
 
Supposedly Nixa’s coach is not moving to
St. Louis, so full speed ahead on underachieving.
 
There just isn't much talent there right now. Not sure when that will change.
 
I think their incoming sophomore group is pretty good. Their JV won 15 or 16 games I believe. I agree though, definitely not a destination job.

You can’t judge upcoming progress with JV games in girls basketball. Everybody else’s good sophomores were playing varsity.
 
I think out of the last 10 years Carl Junction's JV was good once.
 
Liberty Mtn View has hired Assistant Desi Smith to be coach.

Hartville has hired Kailey Morris to be coach.

Both of these are from their schools facebook pages.
 
Of course he is leaving because there isn't enough talent left. He says he just decided after the season but this was the plan for years. The thing is he is right. As good of a coach as he is he isn't winning with next year's roster so he may as well do something else.

Did I hear correctly that his daughter was a senior on this year's squad or was it last year? Don't know about the talent situation but anecdotally I don't think it uncommon for head coaches to give it up when their youngest finishes playing for them. It seems to be a time when burnout sets in and career moves, even to other programs, occur. Seen it happen many times and I've been on this old rock for quite a while.
 
She is graduating this year along with his 2400 point scorer. He will be an assistant baseball coach until Dr. Cook gets tired of the head coaching job. He will probably be the head baseball coach eventually unless a college assistant job in the area is offerred.

Thanks for the info. Good to know.
