MBB: Ohio Athletic Conference

[sac]

I will ask you this . . . I know Marietta brings back everybody but would Coach VW think aboiut making the intraconference jump?  He is not from Marietta and he is young which leads me to belevie that he would consider making a move ot a better situation.  I know Alliance is not the big city but Canton is nearby and Cleveland is an hour away which has to be more attractive than Parkersbug and Charleston.  Plus, he would have a larger recruiting base nearer to his school than he has at Marietta.  Just a thought as he is this year's hot young coach at the D3 level and unless he is willing to be an assistant at the higher levels, his pedigree (D3 player, asst., head coach) right now shows that he is next move will have to be within D3.

Jon VanderWal is from Cadillac, Mi.  I doubt the alleged isolation of SE Ohio bothers him much.

Well played, sac.  Well played.

FINALLY!! Coach Kehres has finally pulled the plug! Long overdue in my estimation, of course thats a personal issue I have with the man as a coach. My experience at Mount was not a good one with Coach Hood - like many others might I add. I've heard Coach Montgomery from Hoover, and Terry Weigand from akron as well. Any other names? I doubt Vanderwal would leave Marietta with so much coming back. Timing is everything!! Kehres has hired a lot of young people recently..."go-getters". Would this be a position filled by a D1 assistant? Another D3 assistant? What D3 head coaches might apply? Any rumors, thoughts/opinions?

Latest rumor regarding UMU coaching vacancy. Dan Peters, Akron assistant coach. Use to be head coach at YSU, and assistant at OSU & Cincinnati. I would think a Thad Matta phone call might carry some weight. I'm guessing he's not a young buck, no pun intended, but none the less. Interesting name.

In football, YSU to UMU would conceivably make sense, despite Tressel.  But in bball, would a successful head coach go from d2 to d3?  And if he's not successful, do you want him?

YSU is D1, not D2. It's a member of the Horizon League.
