rick smith is a great coach, one of the best i have ever seen, he really keeps his team goin and puts them in the best position to win a ball gameIndians Alumni wrote:I would say Rick Smith of Four Winds, he has had a solid coaching career, another would be Carlson from Leeds - Minn, he always has a solid program.

dan carr is automatically in the coach of the year running in my mind, and olson has done a great job with steele in region 3. in district 5 i give the nod to duke, i didn't think that pbk would be playing near as well as they are this season after they graduated something like 98.7 percent of last season's points and his assistant coach retired...ellendale started strong in the district, be interesting to see where they finish.
lisbon's coach should also be mentioned...done a heckofa job with the team

Agreed, when a coach has a team ready to compete every year like carr, its just unreal how he does it. Great coachbballer2 wrote:rep wrote:smith is salty, so is carlson and wells county has a bunch of seniors that have payed dues and learned a lot from their coaches.

I thought 4? 1996 and 1997 MPCG won back-2-back as in 2002 and 2003. Unless he wasn't coaching in 1996 and 1997 like I thought he was. He has also been there quite a few times.
The 1996-1997 teams were unreal if memory serves me correctly. They were all like 6'5" or taller for the starting 5, basically unheard of in ND high school basketball let alone Class B.rep wrote:baller01 wrote:SCC wrote:baller01 wrote:I'm going to have to say Dave Nelson is the best coach in the state.
