Huge loss for the Mt. Pleasant community. Coach Rundquist is one of the best and a class act...will be a great successor to Coach Bergmann at West when he decides to retire.
Phil Hemming, a Pella Native, will be taking over the Saydel Boys Basketball program and working to rebuild it. Phil was a long time assistant under Head Coach Mark Core at Pella HS for 14 seasons during a very successful period in that program’s history and has been an Elite AAU coach for Pella for over a decade. He will bring much needed toughness and youthfulness to this position and a new brand of basketball Saydel has never seen. It is also rumored that he has talked Mark Core out of coaching retirement, and Mark will be joining his staff as an assistant coach at Saydel. If this is true, look for these guys to make some changes with the Saydel program, change the culture that the Eagles have had the last 5 years, and open their doors to kids in the metro looking for a new home with a chance to make an impact right away. I hope they can turn it around!

Add Colfax-Mingo (15-6) to the list of coaching openings. Local hero, Nick Noring, announced his resignation today after 2 solid years of improving the program. He will be missed.
I'm curious as to your criteria for "best coaching jobs."This thread had me thinking...what are the top 5 head coaching jobs in IHSAA basketball in the two big classes? I would say in 4A: 1)Valley 2) IC West 3) Waukee 4) Linn Mar & 5) Dubuque Senior
