Douglass joins the list of intriguing boys basketball job openings

Athletic directors always have something to sell when they pitch a job opening to a candidate.

Maybe it’s a program with “a lot of tradition,” or it’s “heading in the right direction.”

Rarely does and AD find himself with as much ammunition as those looking to fill some of the high-profile boys basketball jobs open right now.

Would you like to take over a program that has won two state titles in the last five years and just went to state with a young team that returns almost every key player? Maybe Guthrie is the place for you.

Maybe you’re looking for a team with two state championships in the last three years and state appearances in five of the last six, with a nationally recruited senior-to-be on the roster? Perhaps Tulsa Washington is your next gig.

If that still isn’t enough, would you be interested a job opening at a school that has won three straight gold balls, led by the best player in the state, who will be a senior next year? Douglass, the latest big-time job to come open, is on your short list.
