A dozen local schools, all in Bergen County, have new boys’ basketball coaches, and I think that’s the biggest single-season turnover since I arrived at The Record in the winter of 1989.
Some are veterans returning to the sideline for another stint, some simply changed teams, and here they are:
(School, last season’s record, new coach)
Bergen Catholic (18-9): Billy Armstrong
Bergen Tech (2-19): Bob Biegel
Dwight Morrow (15-10): Donald Osbourne
Elmwood Park (19-9): Scott Dadika
Fair Lawn (10-16): Rich Micallef
Indian Hills (9-17): Mike Nassar
