I wouldn't say that the GWOC is the best league, but for the last several years they've done well in the tournament against Cincinnati teams including the GCL excluding a few years against Moeller when they were a behemoth of a juggernaut. There has usually been 3-4 higher quality teams depending on Fairmont, with Wayne, Springfield and Centerville reliably being good. It's typically solid or better for being an 8 team league in basketball.
Redandgold probably doesn't realise he made an excellent case for this being a really important hire for Springboro. Springfield is way down, and I actually agree with him, I don't see them being what they were for a good chunk of the 2010s with their current coach. Wayne is a bit of a wildcard and at least will likely not be as consistently good year to year the further they get away from the Trice era. There's a window of opportunity at the moment for Fairmont, Beavercreek, Springboro, etc. to fill the void and rise towards the top of the league.
