I am lmao, this guy named Quincy. Can he walk on water because it sure sounds like it. And to think he has won at the AAU level and the jv level. Give me a break.

Also won as head coach at THEE Ohio State University (Lima) and as professional coach also for the 2 months the Lima Explosion was around

about 5 years ago he was JV coach and Marty kimbrough was Varsity assistant. Quincey went and coached at Osu-Lima and took his boy (Xavier) to LCC and Marty also stopped coaching at LSH around same time and took his son (Martyce) to LCC for whatever reasons and now Martyce Kimbrough and Xavier Simpson are LCCs 2 most important players leading the Birds in cbus this weekend..

Wait a minute. If this Q guy puts that on his resume, most people would not even know what he was talking about. So, lets see. This Q guy has won at the jv level, AAU level, Thee osu Lima, and some team named the explosion. Wow, pretty impressive, but what has he done to merit a head coaching job at LS.I really don't understand.

Am I the only one confused here. I know guys who have coached teams to the state tournament and were let go.

He can "relate" to the kids is the biggest selling point not so much the resume.

If Quincy gets the job what happens in two years when Xavier is playing in college? Q seems like the kind of guy who would want to watch his son play? Coaching HS basketball would make that awfully tough to do. Also, if LSH offers Q the job, is it contingent on X coming back to LSH? It would be a little tough to convince the city kids that LSH is a great option if the coach's son isn't even willing to play there. The competiton level that Senior plays would help X in preparing for college...but would he be willing to leave LCC with all the talent they have coming back?

If this happens we will see Cobbs Walton and maybe Wilson from Elida all trying to transfer.

You, I think, really do not understand the Lima Senior student/athlete. You can establish discipline and order all you want....that does not mean you will connect with these kids. You have to have some type of understanding of the kids, their environment, their struggles on a daily basis. I am not aware of where you live but I hope you understand what I mean.


I know what you are trying to say .I worked in the district for over 30 years. Yeah, some of the home situations are rough. But you think only someone from the "hood" can make a difference. That attitude I find more than a little condescending and wrong.

Do any of you remember the tv show 'White Shadow'.........maybe Quincy is a version of the 'White Shadow'....only.....well, you know what I mean if you ever watched this show......actually, it was pretty good!!!!!!!!

Great show. Maybe the movie Coach Carter is closer to what LSH needs.

[whatdoiknow]

would the kids from senior high relate to coach carter? he had a son on the team as well

Holy cow the circus is in town

Let's hope the powers that be hit a home run of a hire, like they did when LSH hired Fell. Time will tell how successful Fell will be overall, but he did well his first season. It should be noted like most schools, they have to post it and leave it open internally for 10 days before going outside the building. It doesn't mean they can't accept applications, but they have to wait a few days to hire.

The #1 person on the LSH fan base right now is Q. A good coach at the AAU and JV levels, but has never been a Varsity Coach. I think it helps that he runs camps for kids and organizes a lot of AAU basketball stuff, but being a Program Coordinator, like the posting says, is a lot different than just being a coach. 2ndly, if he was the Program Coordinator, he would be limited to who he can coach outside of the high school basketball season (none of his HS kids, or JR high in AAU season). That might hinder him wanting the job (speculation here). He's a good guy, solid citizen, might be a good hire.

Everyone on here is assuming if he's hired his son and a few other kids will follow him to LSH, which is very short-sighted and would be an excellent topic for a recruiting thread. Short-sighted because you only have a couple years with those kids and after they are gone, what is the long-term stability of the program going to be? How many years has Q coached at one place?

How important is having a 'LSH guy' as the HC? Does it really matter?

What's Lima Senior's Plan? What's their goals? Do they want a coach to be in house? A two year commitment or 5 years? Who knows.

I don't really have a horse in the race. Personally I think they need a coach that's in house and willing to be there for the long haul. Kids are kids no matter where you coach. I don't think it even needs to be a Lima guy, just a proven winner. If he's a good coach, he'll get the kids to buy in to what he's selling. One thing for sure, no matter who is hired it's a long road ahead and is going to be a challenging job. But they need to hit a HR.

If Quincy gets the job non of the current LCC players will go to LSH.
They have a good thing at LCC.
They are D3 LSH D1 so they will only play in the regular season.
LCC is going to state this year and possibly the next 2 after.
The only thing that might prevent that is OG!!!
Battles will be good!!!
Quincy will take the players he has and make a contender out of them.
I am sure futer HS players will go to LSH beacuase Quincy is the coach.
But so be it.
He is a dam good one!!!
I also dont think he would care giving up the program stuff as he has passed his knowledge on to many people to take over.
If Quincy would get the job he will be there as long as he wants and LSH will be a contender every year he is there!!!

I'm not Quincey's PR agent, but it should be noted his team won a AAU National Championship last year in Orlando. If you don't understand how important that is, you most likely don't know too much about high school basketball in 2014.

He was undefeated at the JV level at LSH, those players went onto have good careers on the varsity squad...it could be factually said that Allen's most successful time as head coach was when he had Quincey grooming the players at the JV level. If I were him, I wouldn't take the job...too many restrictions. But i know his heart is to help mentor and train up young men, so I could see it as a motivating factor...like aoo good buisnessman, Quincey's bottom line is going to be money though

Haha he has won at every level.
JV, AAU, College.
If he can take 8 HS superstars from different teams and different styles of play and win a national championship in FLorida against teams from Kentuck, Texas, Louisiana, New York, California, Canada etc then i think he can jell about any team he coaches.
At the JV level i believe he only lost a few games in the time he was there. If they would have hired him the 1st time LSH wouldnt be in this spot.
They would be well above 500 and very conmpetitive...
And what are you saying give me a break for?

Why would you assume Quincy is from the hood???
He was brought up right!!!'He is successful, has great job, family, 2 kids in college and another will be, and stays in better part of area.
He just took the time to help these kids that doesnt mean he is from the hood!!!

[Rocketman]

My take.....
He is going to parlay X into a package deal...college gets X, also takes Q as asst. Coach...
You heard that here.....first again

Let's get something straight. About 5 years ago, both of these kids were in grade school - NOT LCC. Stop making it seem like they pulled them out one high school and dropped them into another.

I think it's all up to what LSH wants in/from their coaches. I'm sure Zell/Ackerman and whoever else is on the hiring committee probably has a list of things they want out of a qualified candidate. From a Principal/Superintendant's point of view it's a good thing to have a coach in-house (i.e. teacher, staff, etc) because they can deal with things throughout the day, academics, etc. From an AD's viewpoint, they want to WIN and have a stable program no matter where the coach works.

2nd. It's never a bad thing to have an outside person hired, meaning it's doesn't have to be a Lima Senior grad/person hired. Parental Politics and politics in general play into Varsity sports everywhere, Lima Senior included. It wouldn't be a bad thing to hire outside the spectrum of LSH.

All I'm saying is the school has to be objective about the hire and shouldn't rule out anyone.
