On Phoenixville hiring Randy Reber
Phoenixville High School’s hiring of longtime St. Pius X basketball coach Randy Reber seems like a really positive move from all angles.
Reber is familiar with the area since he grew up here and played sports in the area. He has coached his whole life at Pius X and still enjoys coaching despite his many years facing the rigors of the time-consuming job.
I feel this is somewhat of a steal for Phoenixville to get someone of Reber’s ilk in terms of experience and success. Hopefully, he will bring the much-needed stability to the job that has faced transition and turmoil in the past few years.
Reber brings with him 35 years of experience, including 27 as a head coach. He has coached both boys basketball and girls basketball at St. Pius X, which closed in 2010 to merge with Kennedy-Kenrick to form Pope John Paul II in Upper Providence for the start of the 2010-11 campaign.
While at Pius X, Reber was fortunate to have a number of talented players from the Phoenixville area on his ballclubs. He said now the situation has changed. Instead of trying to lure players away from Phoenixville, he wants them to stay at home to play at the public school for him and his staff of Cal Benfield, Lew Hoffman and Dave Staten.

As Randy Reber has been a long time member to the community and yrs of coaching Phoenixville really does not know what they are truly getting. As a parent of a child in sports I would be very concern if he was coaching my child. The Reber's are a very pompous and egotistical case of people. I would be more concern on his drinking habits then I would in his past coaching history at Pius. Wish all the best to the Phoenixville Basketball team!!
May God be with you.
If you think Randy Reber is pompous and egotistical you should meet his wife.
I've known my dad for 22 years and he is a man of integrity. He has taught me everything I know about basketball. He is the main reason I was able to play basketball at the college level. Shame on you for spewing your garbage and being too cowardly to sign your name. I would not trade my family for the world. Phoenixville is extremely lucky to have him as their coach. He will do nothing, but great things for their program, just like he did for St. Pius. Our family looks forward to being apart of the Phoenixville community.

Bravo Rayne... You and your family have always been class acts on and off the court.
Phoenixville is blessed to have your father as the coach.
