Following up on some “dirt” that HoopDirt.com posted last night (DIII DIRT)…
Penn State Altoona Director of Athletics Brent Baird has released the following statement on the resignation of men’s basketball coach Doug West, who has been hired as the head boys basketball coach at Altoona Area High School:
“We appreciate Doug’s efforts as our men’s basketball coach during the past year. He was a positive influence on our student-athletes, and our program has benefited from his leadership. We understand his connection to Altoona Area High School and his commitment to the youth in the local area, and we recognize that this is an opportunity for Doug to give back. We will miss him and wish him the best.”
