HickoryHusker
I'm late to dinner on this one as no Varsity Club connections at Traders Point. Not anymore!

Traders Point boys - Departing Coach Shaun Busik
WHITESTOWN, Ind. -- (Updated 5/18) Coach Busik departs after two seasons at TPC to accept the Greensburg helm. LAst season the Knights were 18-7, but fell in the Sectional final to Bethesda. From that squad 3 seniors (and likely Coach Busik’s underclass son) depart, but 4 other letter winners should return. Of that batch 6-1 sr-2-b guard TJ Robinson is arguably the best. His 11PPG easily paces the returnees. Beyond that there is varsity experience, but very limited production. A couple of 6-4 srs-2-b will likely provide post presence, but again, starting from scratch in terms of them being main cogs at this level. JV went 9-6 last season, and it appears some pretty decent middle school groups moving up. 8th was 11-5 and 7th went 17-0. HS Chemistry, Eled, HS Science. Reportedly some internal interest - JV/Lay coach Dave Yaraschefski mentioned.

Riverton Park boys - Departing Coach Aaron Hines
MONTEZUMA, Ind. -- (Updated 5/16) Coach Hines has reportedly taken an admin job at South Vermillion. Last year’s Panthers went 10-15, and from that roster eight seniors matriculate. Good Varsity Clubber reports only about 12PPG are expected in returning, and about 10 of that comes in the form of 5-10 sr-2-b PG Piers Robbins. After Robbins, it is slim pickings. 6-3 sr-2-b Nick McDonald is it as far as height in the program, and he is unproven at the varsity level. 6-win JV will likely offer little help. Incoming Frosh were above 500 last year, but last year’s 7th grade described as awful. Stipend $6200. Teaching openings include: MS Social Studies, HS Social Studies, Sped, HS English, and Eled

Tecumseh girls - Departing Coach Jennie Toopes
Lynnville, Ind. -- (Updated 4/10) Coach Toops has left after just one season (10-14) with the Braves. Good Varsity Club member reports several more pieces graduate from the 2021 1A State Championship 20-win roster. Only 5-10 sr-2-b forward Jenna Donohoo expected back from that strong squad. Decent JV should help plus a handful of varsity underclass holdovers should keep the Braves competitive. However, tourney runs may be out of reach for the time being. Good Varsity Club member reports all assistants were lay coaches - maybe one interested. Special Ed positions only at this time. A lot of volleyball and softball success, but hoops is the third sport at Tecumseh at present.

NFHS eliminates the 1+1 bonus

Y
No more 1 + 1

Shoot two free throws after five fouls in each quarter.

Not looking forward to sitting at the table and having people yell at us for clearing team fouls from the scorebook after the first and third quarters..

Mark V needs to get busy with a new scorebook. Given that this is the women's college rule there has to be scorebooks that exist that track fouls by quarter.

Fields set for 2023 IBCA/IHSAA Team Showcase events

Fields set for 2023 IBCA/IHSAA Team Showcase events

Inaugural girls’ event June 16-17 at HSE, Mt. Vernon; fourth boys' event June 23-25 at Carmel, Westfield

Seventy-two girls' teams and 156 boys' teams are set to participate in the 2023 IBCA/IHSAA Team Showcase events in June.

The inaugural IBCA/IHSAA girls' Team Showcase is set for June 16-17 at Hamilton Southeastern and Mt Vernon (Fortville), while the fourth IBCA/IHSAA boys' Team Showcase in memory of Charlie Hughes is planned for June 23-25 at Carmel and Westfield.

The Indiana Basketball Coaches Association and the IHSAA partner to make each Showcase a "scholastic event" under NCAA and National Federation of State High School Associations rules, thereby making the events open for NCAA Division I coaches to attend in person for purposes of evaluating prospective players. Only events sanctioned by the IHSAA and IBCA may have NCAA Division I coaches attend during this "scholastic recruiting period."

The IBCA also works with Charlie Hughes Basketball in managing both events. Craig Lyon of Charlie Hughes Basketball coordinates with IBCA chief operating officer Tom Beach in making game schedules, hiring officials, securing game facilities (events may be played in only IHSAA-member facilities) and assists, if needed, in housing arrangements.

Participating teams generally play four games in the events, although some teams choose for a one-day option where they play just two games. Each contest in these events is a regulation 32-minute stop-clock game, not a running-clock game like in many other summer events. No team plays more than two games in one day.

Teams are assigned a pool based on competitive play (organizers attempt to have teams play four competitive games against a "similar" team), whether a team's coach selects the one-day or two-day option, and organizers trying to avoid teams playing opponents they typically play during the regular season.

These Team Showcase events are not tournaments, and no champions are determined. However, these Team Showcase events offer four competitive games to help each team develop while also allowing college coaches to watch the games in person.

The two-day girls' event begins at 9:00 a.m. June 16 with final games starting at 8:00 p.m. June 17. Games are at Hamilton Southeastern High School, 12499 Olio Rd., Fishers, IN 46037, and Mt. Vernon High School, 8112 N. 200 W., Fortville, IN 46040. A list of registered teams is below.

The three-day boys' event begins at 4:00 p.m. June 23 with final games starting at 3:00 p.m. June 25. Games are at Carmel High School, 520 E. Main St., Carmel, IN 46032, and Westfield High School, 18250 N. Union St., Westfield, IN 46074. A list of registered teams is below.

Both IBCA/IHSAA Team Showcase events are open to the public. Admission is $10 per day. IBCA members are admitted free by showing their membership card at the door.

The IBCA and IHSAA began working with Charlie Hughes Basketball in the fall of 2018 when the NCAA created a "scholastic" period in its men's basketball recruiting calendar for June 2019. Charlie Hughes Basketball had started a summer boys' basketball school-team developmental event in 2005 and ran it successfully for 14 years. The event was renamed in Hughes' memory after he passed away in December 2014.

In 2022, coaches from 85 colleges attended the third IBCA/IHSAA boys' Team Showcase in memory of Charlie Hughes. Colleges with coaches on hand included Air Force, Anderson, Appalachian State, Army (West Point), Auburn, Austin Peay, Ball State, Barry, Bellarmine, Belmont, Bowling Green, Bradley, Butler, California, Cedarville, Central Florida, Chicago, Cincinnati, Culver-Stockton, Dayton, DePauw, Drake, Earlham, Eastern Illinois, Elmhurst, Evansville;

Also, Fairmont State, Florida Atlantic, Franklin, Grand Canyon, Hanover, Hope, Huntington, Illinois, Illinois-Chicago, Illinois State, Indiana, Indiana State, Indiana Wesleyan, Indianapolis, IU-East, IUPUI, Judson, Kent State, LeMoyne, Liberty, Lincoln Memorial, Louisville, Maine, Miami (Ohio), Michigan, Michigan State, Middle Tennessee State, Missouri State, Navy, Nevada, New Orleans, Northwestern, Northwood;

Also, Ohio State, Purdue, Purdue-Fort Wayne, Purdue-Northwest, Rose-Hulman, Southeast Missouri State, Southern Illinois-Carbondale, Southern Illinois-Edwardsville, Southern Indiana, Southern New Hampshire. Taylor, Texas A&M, Trine, UC-San Diego, Valparaiso, Virginia Military Institute, Wabash, Western Kentucky, Western Michigan, William & Mary, Wisconsin, Wisconsin-Green Bay, Wofford, Wright State and Wyoming.

This is the first year that the NCAA has created a "scholastic" period in its women's basketball recruiting calendar, so this is the first year for the IBCA/IHSAA girls' Team Showcase.

Net proceeds from both Team Showcase events support the IBCA Scholarship Fund and Riley Children's Hospital in Indianapolis.

HH Varsity Club Insider: Jennings Co boys graduate seven

HickoryHusker
er2dzbojtmsbighzdljk

Jennings County boys - Departing Coach Josh Land
NORTH VERNON, Ind. -- (Updated 5/16) Coach Land’s move to an administrative position at JC has been the catalyst for his basketball resignation. Coach Land departs after season seasons with the Panthers. Last year was a memorable one for JC as they captured a rare Regional title. That’s the bright side. Varsity Club member reports seven senior depart, and the landscape for the Panthers will likely look vastly different. A handful of quality holdovers will likely return to keep them competitive. 6-4 soph-2-b guard Parker Elmore has many in North Vernon excited as he appeared in all varsity contests last year as a frosh and is on track to be a four-year starter. 5-10 Jr-2-b guard Carter Kent returns as a proven shooter at 16PPG, and 5-8 sr-2-b Cole Sigler is an athletic letter winner that should also help. After that it’s a new herd. With so few remaining on the varsity roster, last year’s 12-11 JV will be called upon for help. North Vernon Varsity Clubber also reports strong middle school teams - 8th was 13-7 and 7th finished 15-5. Current positions are scares, but more are expected later: Eled, HS FACS, Coach Land’s MTSS (intervention) position expected to become open as well.

Red Flags Flying at WRV boys Job

HickoryHusker

White River Valley boys - Departing Coach Mike Hopkins
SWITZ CITY, Ind. -- (Updated 4/24) Good Varsity Club member reports information about the WRV Boys opening. Many that have known Coach Hopkins are simply in disbelief. Simply put, Coach did all that could be asked, and Varsity Clubber is indicating this is a pretty clear red flag situation for any incoming coach to be aware of. One report offers specifics regarding Hopkins coming to WRV with high energy, and a plan. He carried out his plan to improve the program from top to bottom, worked with the younger levels, and all coaches within the program, held Summer camps, open gyms for all levels, as well as Feeder program work. Here’s where it gets dicey. Report alleges the school board is led by an individual who has a son on the team (probably the most athletic and has started since he's been a freshman). Reportedly, said school board member has a wife who is very influential, and appears to be overly involved with sons athletics. There is one alleged encounter after game one of year one, when parent came into Coach's office and let him know that her son shoots 20 to 25 times a game in AAU. Report continues that parent posted several rants on facebook about how to motivate. Long story short, it appears that even though the Principal, Superintendent and Athletic Director reportedly all recommended Coach to be renewed, a parent who wants her son to be the focal point, and not "Coached hard, in a team first, structured environment" allegedly played a large part in convincing board Board not to renew. The reason Coach was given, "he didn't attend enough JH games, didn't work enough on the youth." Will this process repeat itself? Current board gave the guy two seasons, it's a revolving door. More expected but currently HS Science and Eled openings.

HH Varsity Club Insider: Finding Points a challenge at Valpo boys

HickoryHusker
Valpo boys - Departing Coach Barak Coolman
VALPARAISO, Ind. -- (Updated 5/15) Coach Coolman departs to take over the boys program at Penn. Last year’s Vikes went 13-14 and finished Sectional runners-up to Chesterton. Valpo graduates last year’s leading scorer (20PPG) and rebounder in 6-7 Mason Jones, but does return 6-2 jr-2-b PG Jack Smiley. Beyond that it might be tough finding points unless there is some serious offseason player development. A 16-win JV should help, but getting this team over 40PPG will be a challenge. Two experienced post players are expected back in 6-6 Alec Platipodis and 6-5 Matt Hofer. Both logged substantial minutes, but each tallied just a couple of buckets a game and will certainly take on a much larger load this fall. 8th grade reportedly went 12-6 and 7th was 17-1 last year. With the Sectional Valpo is in and the nightmare schedule in the Dunland, getting to 500 will be a tall order for new coach next season. HS Science, HS Math, A couple of unique ones as well: HS Culinary Arts,HS Vet Science, HS Building Trades. MS Math, MS Sped, and Eled. More expected.

HH Varsity Club Insider: Underclass Optimism at Triton Central boys

Triton Central boys - Departing Coach Kyle Ballard
FAIRLAND, Ind. -- (Updated 5/15) Coach Ballard now reported as a done deal at Franklin Central opening the Triton Central job. Be advised that TC not officially accepting apps yet, but wanted to give those interested a heads-up. Last season the Tigers went 17-7 before bowing out to Scecina in Sectional. Good Varsity Clubber reports that top two scorers graduate and a third senior contributor goes with them. However, there is some optimism is a pretty strong group of underclassmen that will likely be multi-year starters. 5-10 soph-to b guard, Eli Sego proved his with by going for about 12ppg last season as a varsity frosh. Fellow classmate and backcourter Max Crouse also appeared in most varsity games. 6-5 jr-2-b Silas Blair dropped 10 and 5 last season as a soph frontliner. Varsity Clubber adds that JV was about a game or so above 500, but a very strong 8th grade went 19-1. Further down the line, last year’s 7th finished 10-7. Good Varsity Club member has reported TC alum and current Whiteland Coach Nate Cangany as a name getting much mention. However, wiseguys have money on Cangany staying put. HS Social Studies confirmed. Alternative ed opening expected.

Update on Heritage Christian boys situation

acemahaqy7ldtmmtmhol

Heritage Christian boys - Departing Coach Brandon Coffer (Interim)
INDIANAPOLIS, Ind. -- (Updated 3/14) Interim Coach Coffer went 3-6 during his time leading the Eagles. The entire campaign finished at 11-12 a first round Sectional exit courtesy of Brebeuf. Varsity Club report predicts a step back for the Eagles next season, as shit ton graduates. A couple of underclassmen earned varsity minutes, but none were major contributors in any way. On the bright side, JV was pretty solid last season, but those guys will have to make that big step to varsity level. Despite Heritage Christian’s small enrollment, report states they field two teams in both 7th and 8th grade which helps. HC boasts one of the larger coaching staffs in the area, and while inside interest is expected, Varsity Clubbers states finding a dynamic outside candidate may be the goal of some in the hiring process. Report continues, “After all, no one grows up in the Heritage Christian school district dreaming of playing in blue. Every kid, every family has to choose to go here. That personality is a must.” Love it or hate it, that is probably very true. Only teaching gig at this point in the early spring is HS English. Not timeline yet. (Updated 3/25) More insight now that Heritage has officially opened their interim position. Coach Coffer went 3-6 after Coach Warren Wallace resigned offering a cryptic, “Working relationship” issue as the reason in late January. Link to story, but don’t look for much clarity - https://www.yahoo.com/now/warren-wallace-resigns-heritage-christian-154602682.html Good Varsity Clubber reports five seniors graduate not the least of which, Purdue recruit Myles Colvin. The 6-6 stud feasted on 3A HC’s schedule, which included 11 1A and 2A opponents. Incoming coach will likely need that schedule as the talent level reportedly drops-off the table. But getting back to Myles. Good Varsity Club member reports that there are several issues that will/could impact new coach. One being perceived lack of support from admin when attempting to discipline a star player. Another is the long standing conflict of players growing up within a program only to lose playing time to transfer studs. Both problems allegedly played a role in last year’s star-studded 11-12 mark (and first round Sectional ousting via Brebeuf.) A Varsity Clubber familiar with the program reports that a core of 4-5 srs-2-b did log varsity time last year, although none went for more than a handful of buckets a game. Internal interest expected, but unclear which direction admin wants to go at this point. HS English is about it at this point. JV described as solid. (Updated 5/15) Good Varsity Clubber reports Heritage Christian will have assistant AD, Aaron Larson, run the boys basketball summer program. He is a former assistant coach at Taylor University.
