Indian Hills coach fired
- Thread starter amishclone
- Start date
I am a little surprised that they came out and fired him after this year. You could tell later in the year though that the team had issues and were not playing well together. Still never heard how/why Jameel McKay's brother left or got kicked off the team. I kind of expected the coach to resign or leave for another job instead of getting fired. There were definitely issues between players and the coach which is a little unexpected as that was a big part of why they hired him after being Peery's assistant.
I also wonder how or if Manyang will become eligible next year for OU as he didn't play for like 17 games in a row and then showed back up for tourny time.

This is kinda funny. I was at a happy hour last week for a friend in town at the Burg & Barrel of Overland Park the after the Big 12 tournament. Waitress commented on a bunch of us wearing Iowa State gear and said her fiancée was the head coach at Indians Hills CC. They are getting married soon and she was hoping he would be landing a new job because she didn't want to move to Ottumwa.
Serious question, it says they will conduct a national search to replace him. Do community colleges always do a national search for these positions, or do they just have a history of success where they simply always have? I guess I always kind of figured community colleges took the best high school coaches they could find.

You really think $75K is enough for that job? You have to live in Ottumwa, you know. And you'd be coaching a lot of kids who've never been out of a large city, and trying to keep them out of trouble. In Ottumwa.
Did I mention this job is in Ottumwa? (And yes, I used to live there.)

So if they accepted his resignation he wasn't fired, unless it was either a resign or we'll fire you type of thing.

Barret Peery, former head coach at Indian Hills, left for Arizona State last year to be an assistant for Herb Sendek. Well, Sendek was just fired from ASU. Maybe Indian Hills may try to bring Peery back.
I watched a few games...I'm not an IHCC expert by any means but the team had serious issues off the court. I lost track of how many players were suspended during the year or left the team. It was was several...like 3-5 I want to say. No clue if that played a role but was not a good year at IHCC.
C'mon surveyor where you at? We gotta get to the bottom of this.
Surly she meant he was "a" coach, not head coach.....
Kind of an off topic question, but has anyone been to an Indian Hills game? I've been considering going for a while now, but haven't gotten around to it. Is it worth the drive to Ottumwa?
