This was not a big surprise at all, but Seneca head boys basketball coach Doug Evans has resigned.During an interview with Evans today -- that will air on Spotlight On Sports tomorrow morning at 9:00 am -- he said that this has been in his mind for the last couple of years, and that it was about a 90% certainty during this past season.
It makes sense, with Evans having coached at Seneca for 26 years, amassing 497 wins, a state championship in 2006, and -- what is the most logical tipping point -- his son, Seth, graduating from high school this year.
There's not much more for the coach to accomplish, and now he'll get the chance to follow Seth's college career at the University of Wisconsin-Green Bay, and spend time with his family.
We've been doing "Spotlight On Sports" for over 14 years now -- where has the time gone? -- and Evans was one of the few remaining coaches to have been the head coach with the same team for that entire run. He may have been the last one. It's been so long now, I can't even remember.
Longtime assistant, and former golf coach Jeff Stenzel also resigned.
We'll have more tomorrow, plus part of our spring baseball and softball preview.
