With state tourney coming up, iit is almost time for coaching positions to come open. Any ideas on what girls basketball jobs will be open?
Coaching Positions
- Thread starter BaseballFan_24
- Start date
I see on teachiowa.gov that Dallas Center-Grimes is looking for a Head Girls BB Coach. Should be a top job with their growth, facillities and athletes.
I saw that too. Yes that is a great job. They have a lot coming back, and have fabulous facilities.
Are there teaching positions open also? This could be one of the best 4A jobs in the state. A young coach with aspirations of coaching at the highest level would also just have to wait 10 years and they might be 5A??
Right now I believe we have interviewed an internal candidate and the coaches from Williamsburg and Mediapolis. I have also heard that we have made contact with the coach at North Linn to see if he was interested. Whoever gets the job will be in a good situation.
MustangsMan is referring to DCG. I have heard the front runner is the Mepo coach. Haven't heard anything for sure though. They did the interviews last week...surprised nothing official has been decided yet.
I have also heard that the Norwalk girls are looking for a new head coach...Is this true? Another great school for an up and comer to look at! I would think anyone interested in the DCG job would also be interested in the Norwalk job. Which school would be a better choice (besides just looking 1 or 2 years into the future)??
Yes, I have a daughter in the youth program at DC-G and some contacts at the school. The way I understand it is the North Linn coach was contacted, but decided to stay put and never actually applied for the job. I would think the Mepo coach would be a logical choice. Excited to see how it shakes out. Norwalk would also be a great position, I might be biased, but I think DC-G might be a better one

Did all the other candidates turn it down? It sounds like an odd hire when there was so much girls' coaching experience at winning programs.
I am not sure about other coaches turning it down, I believe the North Linn coach pulled his name from consideration after being contacted, but have not heard anything else.
Might seem like an odd hire from the outside, but he has done a nice job as part of the boys program and is well respected within the district. He will do a great job going forward in my opinion.

I think that Adam Jones will be an excellent hire.
Any word on the Norwalk job? Another pretty good central Iowa job. My guess is that it is Jill Martin's if she wants it.

I did not see PCM's advertised. I saw Assistant Girls Basketball, but no mention of head girls basketball.
The head coach was fired a couple days ago. There is an article in the newton daily news but I can't link it.
Sounds like Burlington Notre Dame hired the assistant coach to be head coach. Heard that on the radio this morning. Haven't heard if Mepo head coach (also elementary teacher ) is staying or leaving. I know the assistant coach at Mepo resigned as coach, but will still be teaching.
Burlington high school varsity girls basketball position is now open. Kevin Mills is returning to the NW part of the state to take the same position at Fort Dodge pending approval by the school board. Coach Mills was 3-39 over his last three years at BHS having to deal with injuries, youth and other detractors. He was previously successful at Lawton-Bronson prior to coming to BHS.
??? Wasn't Julius Michalik just hired to be the varsity girls coach at FD? http://www.desmoinesregister.com/st...odge-dodgers-girls-basketball-coach/25785827/
