2017 Head Coaching Changes

Recommended Posts


Jay Sobke is the new Head Coach at Celebration. He was the interim coach at Harmony last season.

 

J is a good guy.  I worked with him at Lockheed Martin for 2 years and we are good friends now.  I wish him well.  He is a good up and coming coach... I think he can make that program better and maybe move on to a bigger better school eventually.

Hudson High School has pulled it's offer to Will McDonald.The article says he didn't follow up on paperwork. But the AD says they have a candidate in mind already, so it makes me think that they "settled" for McDonald which is terrible. Feel bad for the guy.

.

Not the case on the insurance job, but he indeed took a big job with a big company and it was enough to pull him out of coaching altogether.

another team in a bad spot and having to fill coaching spot in a rush, they might fall apart and appears odds are north marion will be only playoff team from that district bc Eastside lucky to win a game and now belleview might not be in the best spot to repeat playoff appearance from last year

Chris Kokell has stepped down at Olympic Heights. Assistant Baz Alfred will take over:

Good read. Kind of a surprise to me after the OH program was revitalized last year, but I respect Koskell's decision and timing of the resignation. BOL to him and new HC Alfred taking over what should be another sound year for Olympic Heights.

Hope this is for the better we play them for homecoming

The problem with Belleview is that , not only is Brantley the only real HC they have had since the 2004 team, but that 2016 team was Senior laden and is about to graduate. We play them in the first game of the season. So, we will see if they are still as good as last season. I kind of doubt it as they just might revert to their old habits.

    • I seriously can't remember how many times I had to do that very thing. Like Nolebull said in another discussion, the kids know kids from other schools and where the "hot hand" is. I never entertained discussions with kids or parents of kids from other schools. I know we lost some good ones because of it but I am ok with that.
    • In a single word, "no." In a lot more words, see the following: (From 2023-24 FHSAA Handbook) 36.2 GENERAL DEFINITIONS 36.2.1 Athletic Recruiting. “Athletic recruiting” is any effort by a school employee, athletic department staff member or representative of a school’s athletic interests to pressure, urge or entice a student to attend that school for the purpose of participating in interscholastic athletics.   and this . . . 36.2.2 Improper Contact. “Improper contact” is contact, either directly or indirectly, whether in person or through written or electronic communication, by a school employee, athletic department staff member, representative of the school’s athletic interests or third parties, such as an independent person, business or organization, with a student or any member of the student’s family, in an effort to pressure, urge or entice the student to attend a different school for the purpose of participating in interscholastic athletics.  See Policy 37.    In fact, if the kid contacts the coach at another school, the coach is not supposed to communicate with the kid other than to refer the kid to the person at the school responsible for admissions.    Best I can tell, there is no exception for being able to reach out to a kid who plays a sport that is not offered by the school that the kid currently attends.  Perhaps there should be . . . but then you'd really be opening Pandora's Box.   
    • So you are not allowed to talk to a kid who is not an active football player currently attending a school that doesn’t have a football team?
    • 1.  Ask around and get the kid's phone number. 2.  Call the kid.  3.  If that doesn't work, DM the kid.  4.  Once communications are established, try to convince the kid to come to your school.  There may be other ways, but I think this would be the easiest way to recruit a kid .
