Well it doesn't surprise me that he's gone. He had a starting line up over the last couple of years that averaged over 6-3. Including a 6-6 and 6-5. Which in 1A / 2A is big. He couldn't win....
The job is open. Monsey has not been the head basketball coach for about 4-5 years now. He is still the principal. One of the best basketball coaches I have been around or seen. Richardson is now at Robinson and our coach this year is retiring and that is why it is open.
I was the losing coach in Coach Monsey's 702nd victory in his career. We talked before the game and I knew he a recently won #700 and congratulated him on his accomplishment and told him I was sitting only few behind him at 7 career wins (it was my first year as a head varsity coach) and he laughed pretty hard. He was a very nice guy and encouraged me to keep up the work and reminded me that he was once sitting 7 career wins himself. Then they proceeded to beat the heck out of us by 25 or so.

It is filled. It will be official tonight at the board meeting. I will let you know tomorrow unless someone beats me to the punch. I definately do not want it. "Offseason - what real men do during basketball season."
