Linton-Stockton boys - Departing Coach Noah Hawkins (Interim)
LINTON, Ind. -- (Updated 4/18) Now official Linton will not be bringing Joey Hart back as the Miners boys basketball coach. In 13 years at Linton Coach Hart was 277-73. He guided the Miners to three 2A state runner-up finishes. There are reports that Linton sees itself as a big fish and some admin want to go through a statewide coaching search process. However, those reports are currently outpaced by those pointing to keeping interim Noah Hawkins. Job is not officially open yet for apps etc, but Linton will see a change next season. (Updated 4/19) Word now that Coach Hawkins is not interested in pursuing the head coaching position at Linton. Looks like it will open up after all. (Updated 5/30) Good Varsity Clubber reports Matt Britton name heavily in the mix.

West Noble girls - Departing Coach Jeff Burns
LIGONIER, Ind. -- (Updated 5/23) Coach Burns will not be back for the 3 seasons with the Chargers. Varsity Club member reports only one senior departs from last season’s 3-20 roster. The season ended in a dismal 55-6 Sectional opening loss to Feifield. Trouble exists in the fact that with the loss of Mackensy Mabie to graduation (primary ball handler, multiple time all-NECC) so goes 14 points of their team’s 30PPG. Offense was truly tough to come by last season, and the new coach is going to inherent as many turnovers per game as points returning. The 3A Chargers currently reside in Sectional 20 with Wawasee, Fairfield, NorthWood, and Lakeland. Good Varsity Clubber airports 7th and 8th grade are both solid classes of athletes with potential. Supportive admin. Stipend $6100. Only openings at this time are reported as Eled positions.

Elkhart girls - Departing Coach Will Coatie
ELKHART, Ind. -- (Updated 5/22) Coach Coatie moves to the boys job leaving the girls position open. Last year’s Lions went 14-10 and lost a close one to Northridge in Sectional final. It is not uncommon for coaches to look for a change of venue when a lurch in talent is on the horizon. However, good Varsity Club member reports the opposite is the case with the Elkhart girls program. The Lions graduate just two (less than a bucket a game,)and six of the main varsity contributors were underclassmen last year - all are expected back. This job is loaded and boasted no less than five frosh that appeared in varsity games last season - three of whom were true contributors. Varsity Club member also reports JV was 13-6 lasts eason Internal interest expected from lay assistant coach Matt Kitson. However, Elkhart has several teaching jobs to work with: HS PE/Health, Eled, MS ELA, HS ELA, HS Math, MS Math, HS Science, MS Science, HS Social Studies, and MS Social Studies.

Mater Dei girls - Departing Coach Doug Blair (interim)
EVANSVILLE, Ind. -- (Updated 5/22) Sooo this position had previously been posted as open several weeks ago. However, there was a request to take it down from school admin as they reported Coach Chad Breeden had taken a leave of absence last year for health issues and was back to coaching again this year. Now official that Coach Breeden has stepped down and position is in fact open. No teaching positions available at Mater Dei at this time.

As has been rumored it appears Lion head coach Ryan Haywood is indeed leaving for the Southridge Raiders. This will be the 6th head coach for Loogootee in 21 years after having just one coach for 45 years.

The vacancy has been posted on the Loogootee schools page. I am going to contact my guys down south and see if I can learn anything more regarding this.

I don't know this to be true but I am hearing that North Put's Sup decided against the recommendation to not renew Coach Brooks (Boys Basketball) contract. Is this true?
