IBCA Bob King Coaches of the Year
The IBCA also awarded six coach of the year awards, two per district. The winners …
District 1: Jason Groves, Triton
A graduate of Glenn, Jason went on to play for Mike Lightfoot at Bethel College, which won a national championship. He later taught at West Central for two years, then became junior varsity coach at Triton from 2000-05. His squads have done progressively better each year, starting at 4-17 in 2004-05. The Trojans finished this season 25-2 and won the Class A state championship.
District 1: Tom Peller, Chesterton
Tom is a 1983 graduate of the University of Indianapolis. He was an assistant at Merrillville and Chesterton before assuming the Trojans’ head coach position in 2003. This season, Peller led Chesterton to a 19-3 record, and the Trojans were ranked in the IBCA coaches’ poll Top 10 most of the season. His six-year coaching record is 83-45.
District 2: Travis Daugherty, Tipton
Travis graduated from Alexandria and Anderson University. He launched his career under the mentorship of coaching legend Garth Cone. After two years as an assistant with Cone, Travis took over the direction of the Tipton Blue Devils in 2004-05, and he’s enhanced the win column each year. He led this year’s team to its first-ever Hoosier Conference title with an undefeated 6-0 record. His squad spent much of the current season as the Associated Press No. 1 team in 2A, and the Blue Devils reached as high as No. 9 in the IBCA coaches’ poll.
District 2: Mark Galloway, Carmel
Coach Galloway is a graduate of Plainfield and Bethel College. He is 102-36 in six years at Carmel. This season, the Greyhounds were 18-2 and co-Metropolitan Interscholastic Conference champs for the first time in school history. In 2006, Mark led the Greyhounds to a Hamilton County championship and to sectional championships in both 2006 and 2008.
District 3: J.R. Holmes, Bloomington South
Coach Holmes is wrapping up his 38th year in coaching with a record of 580 wins, a mark of almost 15 victories every season! He’s coached at Tunnelton, Mitchell, and at Bloomington South. His teams have won 11 sectionals and six regionals. J.R. has led his teams to 10 conference titles, and he’s had three different teams in the IHSAA’s Final Four. This year brought Bloomington South’s fourth consecutive 20-plus-win season.
District 3: Jim Shannon, New Albany
A graduate of Anderson and Ball State University, Jim Shannon is in this 24th year as head coach and 28th year overall. His overall record stands at 341-197 that includes eight sectional championships, one regional championship, and 12 conference championships. Coach Shannon’s record at New Albany, where his teams have won dive sectional titles and six conference championships, is 176-58. This is Jim’s second IBCA District Coach of the Year Award. He has been involved with coaching the North-South All-Star Game, the Junior All-Stars, the Hoosier Basketball Coaches Association District All-Star Game, and the Indiana All-Stars. He and his wife, Tammy, are proud parents of Spencer and Allyson.
