Coaching Changes for 2023

[PlaySimple]

As we close out 2022, we need a new thread for 2023.

Mark Batman, women's coach at Ohio Northern, is headed up I-75 to Toledo. Batman was at ONU for 19 seasons and posted a 253-91-40 record. Moving from D3 to D1 is never easy for a head coach but he looks like a good hire for the Rockets.

The ONU opening should attract a lot of interest. It's a good school with good facilities and there is a good base of talent throughout Ohio, Michigan, and around the Midwest. Ada, Ohio is a pretty small town that is seemingly in the middle of nowhere but there is easy access to nearby areas.
