I had not read the article when I made the post above but now I’ve read it. He said what I think is true in small schools across the state: "It's just one of those things, that especially the small schools, you get waves of up and down, and we're in a down wave right now, and maybe it's time for me to look for something else and go a different route," Zander said.
He’s been the head guy for 16 years. WOW. Looking at the last two seasons (3-7, 1-9) it appears they are riding one of those waves. In his 16-year tenure though he only has 4 losing seasons and has made the playoffs 14 years. Maybe it’s as simple as he needs a change.
I am not familiar with Bosqueville history at all but with having a coach that long everyone there is moving into new territory in finding the next guy. Can be exciting, can be a little scary. I believe with Zander’s consistency, his record and longevity, and the support of the community whoever takes over will have something to build on.
Wish y'all all the best!
