Coach quits

Since the name of Steve Gosar has come up on these boards before, I thought it interesting to read the Times-News on Monday. Steve announced that he was quitting as head coach of the CSI basketball program. Very surprising in that Steve has had a very successful career as a college coach, and a promising future. He stated that he has 3 boys, and the time has come to be closer together as a family in their growing up years. At only 43 yrs. of age, he did say that he has not closed the doors to coaching in the future after they are raised. The youngest is 2, so that could be quite awhile.
 
That was all a very strange sequence of events. Shortly after Gosar announced his "retirement," his successor was named -- a new assistant coach with a long background as a head coach who had just been announced a week earlier. A lot of weird layers to that story that don't add up.
 
Well, Gosar admitted that he was looking to Cox as a replacement if he went through with his decision to leave the team. They have known each other for 30 yrs. It looks like the CSI basketball program will be in good hands with Cox at the helm.
 
Just my :twocents: , but I bet you see him as an assistant for an NCAA division I team within the next year or two. Unless your name is Bubb or O'Brien, you just don't see even the most successful JC head coaches directly assume the head job at a D-I school as much as you used to. Too much has changed, from compliance issues all the way to APR.

Gib Arnold is the head coach of Hawaii, but he left CSI to become an assistant at USC first. And Barrett Peery left CSI to become an assistant at Utah, but I think he went to being a JC coach again.
