Former Fishers assistant calls hiring for Danville basketball position a 'dream job.'
Former Fishers assistant Kaleb Oldham helped Tigers to state title. He was hired as boys basketball coach at Danville on Monday.
Kaleb Oldham was officially named the new boys basketball coach at Danville on Monday. Oldham, 32, an assistant the past six years at Fishers, helped the Tigers win a Class 4A state championship in 2023-24 and post an 83-3 record over the previous three seasons. Oldham was part of the staff at Fishers when Garrett Winegar took over in 2020.
Winegar left for a position at Iowa United Prep after the season. This will be the first head coaching position for Oldham. Danville has a long winning tradition in basketball.
Brian Barber led the Warriors to 426 victories in 26 seasons before stepping down last year. His former assistant, Mark Artman, led Danville to a 10-15 record last season. “I’m super excited to become the next head coach at Danville,” Oldham said.
“I can’t thank our principal Matt Clodfelter and athletic director Aimee Harvey and the sectional committee enough for their belief in me. Along with that, I can’t thank my wife Victoria enough; she’s the epitome of what a coach’s wife is – she’s a rockstar. It’s rare as a 32-year-old to get your dream job as your first job, but that’s exactly what happened here.
