It looks like Jamie Thomas will be coming back to the OAA and it will be in Knight Valley.
The Knights hired Thomas to coach their boys basketball team and will succeed coach Bryan Tipton and should make life easier for Football coach and Athletic Director Greg Carter.
Thomas was an assistant at West Bloomfield for their girls basketball, boys basketball, and was a co head coach for their football program when the Lakers made the playoffs in 2008 so he knows the OAA quite well.
He stepped away from coaching in 2009 but returned to coach the Walled Lake Central girls basketball team in 2013.
Thomas will bring stability to a program that is still recovering from the events that cost Bryan Tipton his job. Oak Park won a district title but lost their final two games of the regular season to Orion and Pontiac. The Knights fell to North Farmington in the regional finals at Southfield last season.
Oak Park will see West Bloomfield in their division this season in the White. They will also compete with Avondale, Troy, Pontiac, and Bloomfield Hills as well.
We'll see what happens.
