Lancaster Bible College Men’s Basketball Head Coach Pete Beers stepped down on Thursday after 12 seasons at the helm for the Chargers. Beers informed his players of the decision on Thursday morning and said it was time for someone who could devote more time to the program to come aboard.

Beers finishes with a career record of 141-208 (.404) and is first all-time in wins and years coached at LBC, in any sport. He led the Chargers to two NCCAA East Region Championships (2006-07, 2010-11) and three NCCAA National Tournament appearances. During his 12-year tenure, Beers coached ten 1,000-point scorers, 15 four-year letter winners and 92 of the 280 players that have ever donned an LBC men’s basketball uniform.

The next men’s basketball coach at LBC will become LBC’s second full-time coach as well. Though there will be other responsibilities within the athletic department, the main job will be men’s basketball coach. The search for a new head coach will begin immediately. Beers will stay on as the college’s director of athletics.
