Fellow Coaches and OBCA members,
I trust everyone is working hard during this off-season period and excited about the upcoming season! May I say, it has been an honor being your president this past year! I have met so many coaches from around the state that I would have never had the opportunity to visit with, if not through the OBCA.
Coaches, we have a GREAT organization! We have made what, I believe, are some needed changes this past year. To name one, the move of our OBCA All- Star games/Hall of Fame Banquet to ECU was a positive. The decision to move our Hall of Fame Banquet to Saturday, so more Hall of Famers can attend the game and be recognized was much needed. We continue to grow, but we need EVERYONE’S energy and input.
First, I urge members to make sure our younger coaches are told about our organization and urged to join. Second, we have a GREAT fall clinic fast approaching September 26th in OKC. Our relationship with the OKC Thunder is strong and we need to keep it that way, SO LET’S invite EVERYONE to attend and take advantage of their willingness to be a part of our organization.
Coaches, this is where we vote on representative from your regions. If you want a say, or a voice, on the direction and policies of the OBCA, I urge you to get involved. I have learned so much and hope others with new blood and ideas gets on the board.
Finally, I want to say a huge, “THANK YOU” to Mark Wilson. He does so much to help me and this organization. He works behind the scenes and puts a lot of time to keep the OBCA strong. He truly loves OKLAHOMA high school basketball.
Thanks Everyone!
Coach Doug Winters OBCA President
