Edgar Mendez, San Diego Christian College’s head men’s basketball coach from 2014-18, has announced his resignation, effective immediately.
With his resignation, athletic director Carolyn Peters has named Dwayne Cosby as the interim head coach for the 2018-19 season.
“I want to thank CP and Dr. Ague for this opportunity,” Cosby said. “I am looking to serve under great leadership. I am looking forward in bringing SDC basketball to the respect we once had. I would like to also thank Coach Nader, Coach Starr, and Coach Wilmore for their guidance over the years.
Cosby is in his second stint with SDC and has been the assistant coach for the last two seasons under Mendez, from 2016-18. Cosby was the assistant coach at SDC from 2010-12 before heading to Point Loma, where he was the assistant for the Sea Lions men’s basketball team from 2013-15.
Before heading to SDC, he coached at Cal Baptist from 2005-07. From 2001-05, Cosby was an assistant at La Sierra. His first coaching experience came a couple years after his playing career was over at Riverside Community College for just the 1999-2000 season.
As a player, Cosby played one year at Riverside Community College for the 1999-2000 season.
The Hawks will kick off the 2018-19 season against Saint Katherine on November 1.
