Coaching stability carrying over to basketball

Catching up with OKCPS athletic director Phil Ingersoll at last night’s Douglass scrimmage, talked about more than just football.

The district will have just two new basketball coaches and both of those will be at the same school. U.S. Grant has new basketball coaches on both the boys and girls front.

It was thought long-time Star Spencer coach Janith Johnson would retire after last year but she’s coming back for at least one more year.

Ingersoll also said he was still trying to work out a series of games for OKCPS teams against big-time programs from aroung the country. He wants to bring some of the nation’s top talent here to OKC to play against the top teams from the district. Ingersoll said this was still a year or two away.
