Does any of you statistics guys know exactly how many 13-16 seeds actually won a game since they started with 16 in 2022? I could be wrong, but I think there would have been. 336 games over the last 3 years involving a 13-16 seed in the 1st round. Curious what that win % is.

So you are saying Wright is not apart of the three being interviewed today since he withdrew? That’s contrary to what many have stated on here. Just curious.

If the name drops are accurate, I’m jumping at the chance to put Monahan in charge of the program and see if that culture change and style, with that talent, works. To actually have an offensive structure and demand discipline on the defensive end, I just want to see it. Doesn’t mean athletes...

Getting a GCL coach at Walnut would be the BEST situation possible to get the very best coaching for the program. Have wondered for many many years all the way back to the Peterson years at West High when Timmons couldn’t beat a well undermanned Elder team what would have been the result if...

CNE New Richmond Cincinnati Christian Franklin NCH Western Hills Gamble Post if you know of others.

I see a couple coaches on the list above that would do Kerr at LM things with the Walnut job. Hope one of them is interested and gets it going again there.

Was wondering the same thing. A shocker if true. Would love to hear more from anyone that may know about this one. Coach is a great guy and great coach, so would have to imagine it was his call if this is true at all.

Walnut will have a LOADED freshman class next year. Not sure how that will translate to doing better than this year finishing top 8 in the state, but they should have more than 6 in their rotation next year.

Not surprised at all. A GREAT staff and Lazar gets the very most out of what he is handed, making kids better and instilling confidence in all his players. Zamari is exhibit A, or exhibit Z as you might say of a staff that develops, empowers and demands kids to be there best, not cast them away...

The only answer is a complete reboot. Stu Holt couldn’t coach himself out of a wet paper bag. Problem is, the only thing worse at Walnut than the basketball staff is the AD, so get ready for rinse, repeat in 2025-26.

I’m sorry 10-13, 6-17 and soon to be 9-14 is acceptable to you at Walnut. Walnut should be right there with WW in terms of results and should dominant this conference in my opinion. Ricardo had that expectation and for the most part delivered. I do not believe this current coaching stafff will...

I hope you are accurate in this, starting from the very top. Hey, if Reis needs a change of scenery, bring him on down to Victory Parkway and see what he can do there. 😬

The Walnut season has just gone from bad to worse. During that same 3rd quarter stretch to the 5 minute mark, McDaniel threw 3 of the worst passes I’ve seen, one leading to a dunk for Summit and another turnover. Tops off the three minute stretch with a chucked up contested deep three. 4 wasted...

Tough one again today. Starters looked gassed. Bench proved why they are bench. Coaches yelling “get up” to “press” if you could call it that to give MT H. about 2 million uncontested layups. Would have liked to have seen if Walnut would have simply ran back, played straight up and made them...

Give all of Walnut credit. Took care of business at home. Got out of the press and locked down Turpin half court. Got some guys that were starting at the beginning some extra time and had some success and had a plan. I would have to say that was one of, if not the worst 3 quarters of basketball...
