Before Charlie Leonard got there they didn't have Mason Miller, Tony Madlock Jr. Aiden Applewhite, Zander Yates, or the other big kid. Without Applewhite they were a pretty beatable team at times this year. 

Talent will win games regardless of the coach. Granted the coach can screw it up but talent will win 2/3 of the time. 

Take Wooddale for example in 2015-2017 seasons Wooddale won 2 games. It was pitiful. The coach of that boys team left and became the girls coach at Houston High. More on that in a second (see below) Wooddale dropped to AA then the Lawson brothers come to play with their dad. Boom. State Champs. I've heard it from Keelon Lawson's former players at Hamilton (D1 and overseas pros) that he is a horrible coach. They years her won he had talent running out of the cracks.

Wooddale's former boys coach has a record of  112-18 in 4 years. Houston's girl's were loaded with talent. Same coach no talent at Wooddale. 

Miller likes Germantown. He could have moved just about anywhere he wanted. He will probably get an assistant job where ever his son lands to play in college. He is a great guy and the perfect hire for Hosuton right now.

Never said talent didn’t win games, as a coach of 32 years with multiple state championships and studying the game at a super high level I certainly understand that very well. I also understand that coaching makes a huge difference when things are anywhere  close to equal, and I was judging Leonard on games I watched online vs. similar talented teams and Houston’s ball movement and defense (coaching) was very good. Mike Miller may end up being just as good or better, who knows. Like I said, I am rooting for him just also wanted to give credit where credit was due. I wouldn’t have commented if I hadn’t actually watched Houston play.

Coach Inman is also leaving the MJ girls' program. He is going to Green Hill as an assistant for Cherie Abner.

If you know Coach Inman, I suggest you ask him what his thoughts on Abner are now that he tried to work with her in 2020.
